    The front of the restaurant

    The Only Review You Need To Read We've seen this place every time we've visited this plaza, and during our most recent trip, people leaving the restaurant raved to us about how good it was. So we finally decided to try it. There were lots of items on the menu which sounded tasty, but I opted for a bowl of cream of crab soup as my starter with the wood-fired shrimp & bacon club sandwich as my entree. And my funny little hunny ordered the honey salmon & shrimp plate. The cream of crab was merely okay, though it was topped with a nice amount of crab meat. The shrimp & bacon sandwich was really good (made even better with honey mustard sauce on the side). My girlfriend complained that the seasoning on her shrimp dish was too spicy (and we learned afterwards we could order it without the seasoning), and the salmon was okay. The jasmine rice was very dry and she didn't even finish it. Our server Kelly was very friendly and attentive, and her laugh made us both smile. The gender identifiers on the restroom doors were pretty funny, and the ambience was very nice. There is a bar area in the back, and I'm sure the place gets pretty busy around dinner time, then more energized later into the night. Overall, it was a very pleasurable experience and given that there were so many other delicious-sounding items on the menu, we definitely will be back.

    We have visited Eldersburg for years and often passed the shopping center in which Oscar's Alehouse is located without stopping in. The restaurant has a deceptively small appearance from the exterior. Once you enter, the place is rather large, with multiple dining rooms and extends farther back than the parking lot and storefront appear. On a busy Friday night, we were seated immediately. The guests all appeared to b enjoying themselves. Note, it is loud. People are in conversation, there are televisions on and lots of hustle and bustle. We ordered the Three Cheese Crab Dip off the appetizer menu. The appetizer is amply sized and plenty for two to four people. Served with grilled ciabatta bread and tortilla chips, we had enough dippers for the whole dip without having to ask for more. We also tried a cup of the cream of crab soup, which had plenty of flavor, between the crabmeat and Old Bay seasoning. Finally, we split the the Eldersburger, a nice quarter or 1/3 lb burger topped with cheddar cheese and applewood smoked bacon. Despite the crowd, our server was attentive and returned several times to refill drinks and provided change swiftly. The menu is pretty extensive and there were craft sandwiches and pizza options we'd like to try when we return!

    I'm pretty sure I've reviewed this place and if I haven't shame on me. Oscars is one of my few repeat spots. I love that special menu changes with the seasons although I wish one of my favs ( chicken gumbo) could be on the menu year round. They did take my favorite dish, the open face meatloaf sandwich off the menu, broke my heart. I have never had a disappointment with anything that I've ordered. I'll get around to trying the pizza one day....i hear it's worth a try.

    The reviews seemed promising but not sure why people like this place? It seems like a nice place for a happy hour & night out but we stopped by since we were in town for something else. The food was just ok. Wasn't a fan of it but it could have been my choice since I got the ahi tuna wrap. The other food looks better but stomach was not feeling it so I needed something light. Service was ok & ambiance was silly - the restaurant had some quirky decor that I thought was fun.

    Pulled pork sandwich with onion rings, really good.

    We still continue to love this place (repeat customer). This time my 11 year old tried food from the adult menu and loved it. This is turning into one of our staples for daddy daughter dates. The people are great and you have options... if you want more of an uppers sale sit down, you have the front area - if you want a sports bar, head to the back.

    Had a great time at Oscars Alehouse! If your in Eldersburg, and you haven't been to Oscars, your doing it wrong! Oscars has more beers than one would expect in Carroll County. Lagers, heferweizen, IPA's on tap and in bottles or cans. Great appetizers. Well done paella. Hamburgers, fries, nachos and other bar necessities. And the back bar has multiple TV's. Service was excellent. Great atmosphere to spend some Time.

    Took a few seconds to make eye contact with someone so we could be seated. When the person did come…read moreover they asked "How can I help you?" The sign on the door says "Please wait to seated?" We want to be seated...... Once we were seated it took awhile for sever to come over. I actually had to stop one of the serves walking around to ask if anyone was working this section. Finally the person behind the bar came over to take our order. The food is delicious. I love when real corn beef is on the menu and not just on a Reuben. The Irish grits were a new thing I didn't know I needed. The flavors gel so well together. I'll go back again to try dinner but I sure hope for a better reception.

    Fantastic Establishment !!…read more 11'15'2024 Hubby and I randomly stopped by in the evening and snatched 2 seats at the bar. We were greeted by Taryn who was as awesome as her name. Collectively, we ordered the following. Chicken Pot Pie - Amazing flavor and portion size. Smoked Chicken Wings - Creatively delish. Broccoli (2) Hot Toddy's - THE BEST HUBBY AND I EVER TASTED !! There was live music on this evening. The mood was very chill, and relaxing. Great vibes. Hubby and I visited again for dinner on 5'7'2025 This is our special day. Hubby and I met 29 years ago today. We were seated and assisted by Tatum. Collectively, we ordered the following. Seasonal Soup: Creamy Chipotle Chicken Soup Corned Beef n' Cabbage Chicken Pot Pie Smoked Chicken Wings Cruzan & Ginger Ale Cruzan & Pineapple It was happy hour, and everything was amazing. The beverages were discounted. The food was great, and the atmosphere was cool. This evening happened to be their Wine Pairing Dinner evening. It was fun to watch the crowd of customers anticipate their 3-4 course meal w pairings. I researched afterward and saw they're just about monthly, $65 which is a steal, and it appears they sell out. Definitely worth participating. I have 50 11 food allergies so I may have to sit this one out. Another great visit down in the books!!

It's a small place but the staff makes you feel like family! The drinks are on point- the food was great and we didn't feel like we weren't wanted! Now this is a family spot so you may see children there shooting pool better than the adults(me) but you have another side where you're able to sit back relax and enjoy the show(Karaoke if you're lucky). We came for the crabs and we weren't disappointed! They were DELICIOUS! So the AYCE came with several options as wings, shrimp, fries, corn (fresh local and I got the last piece) hush puppies. The wings have several flavors but could be cooked harder(my fault I didn't ask but will next time), the shrimp were nice sized and seasoned well, can't go wrong with fries and the hush puppies were tasty! This is a must try for anyone in the area looking to go somewhere with great food and conversation. Oh and forgot to mention we had Maddie as our server-she is the best! Sadly I didn't get the other ladies names which are great too but Maddie stood out to me. She handled that side we were on like a champ! She gave great recommendations on the drink choice plus she made us feel comfortable! Actually all the staff we encountered did however she was our go to all night! Most people ask about the bathrooms(didn't use them but I know there were one of each). This is a small but feel larger place because of the comfortable atmosphere! If you're in that area and want a drink, food or just company I feel this is where you should go! Sadly I didn't take any pictures as I was enjoying myself. Next time though! Karaoke is every Wednesday at 7! Hopefully I will see more people there but it gets crowded so be ready to love thy neighbor
