    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Food & service were great! Atmosphere was old, unflattering & too much open area. Burger was green! Add more booths too!

    Love breakfast and lunch. Staff friendly and prompt. Gets crowded evenings and weekend breakfast…read moreand lunch. Reasonable prices. Good portions. Not too noisy; neighborhood crowd and regulars. Good bar.

    July 2026 update: A second visit to Glyndon Grill was again great but also surprising:…read more What was great: the creamy crab soup, the intrinsic value of the restaurant week lunch package and the service. Everything all of us ate exceeded expectations and also represented a fine value, but the creamy crab soup was truly special. What was surprising: That the restaurant was nearly empty on a summer Tuesday. Yes it was hot out and a weekday. Still, based on the cuisine and experience, they deserve to be packed always. We had made a reservation that in hindsight, we did not need. What else was a little surprising: the staff charitably offered to split our check without even being asked. So often such a request is greeted with sighs or worse. Little things mean a lot! ***** A lunch reservation required on a weekday? Really. At Glyndon Grill, unless you are arriving by say 11:45am, the answer seems to be a resounding yes. By the time we left at 12:30pm, not a speare table was seen. And Glyndon Grill deserves its popularity. What makes a lunch spot (they are open for dinner too) so very popular. Adjacency to the always-popular-and-stellar Santoni's Market cannot hurt, not can the upscale neighborhood, but come for the food and service. I was focused on health-conscious fare, the the menu offered a diversity of intriguing choices. My premixed (with dressings on the side) Cobb Salad was wonderful. I could choose just how much of the mouth-watering fried chicken morsels I did and did not ant to eat, calorically. My tablemate, also watching pounds and inches, got the grilled salmon with broccoli. Neither could have been better. Best of all was our waitress Anne. Ask for her by name. Supreme professionalism dripped from her every word and action. Attentiveness and pleasant without being obtrusive at all. Yes she probably wanted to turn the table (but you could not tell unless you intuited that fact), and we accommodated because her happiness made us happy too.
