Buying crab meat from the USA, better yet support MARYLAND WATERMAN. They buy crab meat from Venezuela therefore it is not fresh. Dormant for days on a cargo ship. read more

First time here. It was a last minute didn't know what to eat type of evening. So we decided to try this place out. Had a glass of beer and a couple of appetizers. Beer was amazing (hard to mess that up) but both of our apps were disappointing. Hummus was bland and dry. Their Cuban Egg Rolls was missing something like more seasoning and the pork was too minced which made it taste mushy. Not sure if I'll return but the foodie in me probably will give them the benefit of the doubt and try them one more time. read more

I can't wait to try even more food from here. I ordered the BBQ burger for my meal. It didn't have much of any BBQ sauce but the burger was FANTASTIC. The flavor and quality of the meat was great. The onion rings on top were tasty too. I opted for the French fries and they were also greats crispy and flavorful. They have many drink and food options available. The service was attentive and the food came quickly despite the place being busy. The venue is rather loud with several TVs. They have a large bar in the middle portion surrounded by high top tables. Further out, they have sit down tables. read more

Absolutely love this place! The staff are all the friendliest you'll ever meet, and the management is so willing to help when needed. We recently came here for a going away party of eleven people and the staff were absolutely amazing and took such great care of us as a large group. There are tons of choices for beer and drinks and the menu is pretty big - every time I've eaten here, I've left full and happy! read more

I love this local gem! My girls are very picky eaters and they LOVE the the wings, soft pretzel and cheese. The wait staff is so attentive and kind. I got the French onion soup and it was my favorite, plus the Philly cheesesteak rolls are to die for. read more

Last visited when this was "Cheeseburger in paradise" which tells you how long it's been- over a decade for sure. We were grabbing a bite to eat after a movie at Marley station. First off, the beer selection is IMPRESSIVE. They had an entire board dedicated to all of their choices. It had to be near 100 different beers/ales! Our party ordered a variety of things- soup, salad, sandwiches, pizza, etc. I ordered the reuben which was great, but could have used more thousand island. The french fries were delicious as well. The kids pizza was decent, not great. I'm probably spoiled by the quality of Bubba's 33 down the road. The salad looked super impressive. It wasn't your run of the mill few pieces of lettuce. This had two chicken breasts, and tons of veggies to back it up. Two people easily could have shared it and still had some left to take home. I'm told the soup was enjoyable, but other places like Crabtowne do it better. The shock came with how reasonably priced this place is. All of the meals were well under $20, which is appreciated. The only knock I have against this place is charging extra for salads. Onion rings are somewhat understandable, but I have when there's an upcharge and then the salad is nothing special. Given how plentiful the full salad was maybe this place is different, but it seems like they sound allow you to swap out french fries for a salad for no extra change. We'll be coming back for sure the next time we find ourselves nearby on the hunt for a place to eat! read more

Great spot to eat. Service was great. Casual fun place Tsunami shrimp was excellent. Cheese steak sub very good. Cream of crab soup too dark and buttery for me. Used to a cream based cream of crab. Would def go back. read more

Food was decent though took some time. Server friendly and checked in occasionally. Ambience fun. I'd try it again.

I really liked the vibe of this place. They offer a nice selection of drinks and the food is pretty good! Service was great but the wait time for food is a bit long 30+ min for apps to come out, so make sure you go with company you'll enjoy. And don't go if you're hangry. Tips: get the beef sandwich (comes with au jus like French dip). The bread is so good! The crab dip is also delicious! read more

I really love the food during restaurant week. Will be going again. Drinks are good, severs gave great recommendations and attentive service. A great cute spot to eat with the girls or your boo. read more

I absolutely love this place, it's great for weekday, weekend, a friends birthday, yo birthday, Jesus' birthday, just all around a great place. Bar staff is always amazing (shout out to Brandy) and the management team is actively engaged and polite. Now food? Epic. Never had anything that I wouldn't order again. Oh, and you can hop off the B&A bike trail and park your bike in the front and cool off with a ice cold beer. read more

I always really enjoying coming here! The food is decent pub/brewhouse fare. Everything we have tried has been really solid- pretzels, crab dip, burgers, and the buffalo chicken sandwich is one of my husband's favorites. The portions are fairly large, especially the appetizers, and we always leave full. Service is pretty solid as well. Overall, 4-star rating on all fronts and with a visit! read more

Exceptional service today. Very generous portions. Great value. Even ordered the Monday burger for lunch tomorrow - since it was only $7. read more

We went here the first time for a work event. The staff handled the large group with ease and the service was fast, friendly and efficient. I only ordered appetizers but some of the burgers that came out looked delicious. Huge menu from which to choose. Great selection of beers as well. The environment and ambiance is that of a sports bar mixed with a tavern. Beer signs hanging on the walls, rich wood decor, bench seats, tables and booths. Oh, and prices were not outrageous. read more

We really wanted to like this place. A new place that caters to craft brews is always going to be on our list. Plus a friend raves about the other location close to him. I appreciated the COVID precautions. The service was certainly quick and friendly. However the beer I ordered was wrong and come to find out the keg had kicked. That's not anyone's fault but the there is clearly a communication issue. They did have a nice list of craft brews. I got the turkey and avocado club. It was big and fresh but nothing spectacular. Just a solid sandwich. Hubby got the Buffalo chicken sandwich. The batter was coming off the chicken and not very "Buffalo-y". His friend would bring this in and so he was disappointed. The kid got a cheese pizza and it was a basic cheese pizza. Again, no complaints on service or cleanliness or anything like that. This is just a Green Turtle with a really good beer list and competent adults working instead of teens. read more

Went to this restaurant for dinner. Walked in gave the host my name and number. She stated there was a 20 min wait due to COVID restrictions. Went back out to my car to wait. Was called then went back inside to sit down. We were greeted fairly quick drink order was taken. Beer selection has a lot to offer and they have growlers. I opted for a burger while my fiancé had some kind of pasta. The quality of the food was pretty good you can tell it's cooked over a wood burning grill and I enjoyed that. Overall the experience was good and it would be worth while to return. read more

My husband was served an unseasoned, dry, flavorless hamburger with rubbery bacon, my daughter's cheesesteak was bread, floppy lettuce and it was just nasty. The meal to write home about was the fish and chips! OMG the fish was frozen, the breading floppy, and when I bit into the only fish stick I tried I got a mouth of cold water. It had to be the nastiest fish and chips ever! Oh, and the coleslaw had no flavor. If you just want a beer then stop by but don't order the food. read more

The Buffalo chicken sandwich is to die for! We Also love their fries, salads, onion rings, and mashed potato's! Always get the same things when there because they are sooo good! read more

We were greeted with a smile and immediately seated as there was no wait and plenty of tables were available, our waitress paid us a visit soon after taking our drink and appetizer order. Drinks and then the nachos appeared in due time and the nachos had the requested extra sour cream and jalapenos on the side. The nachos are a good finger food which we've always enjoyed. My wife ordered the El Cubano and substituted a side salad, the roll was thin enough so that the sandwich wasn't too bready. She enjoyed the sandwich, but will ask for less mustard next time, the bite is a bit too much for her. Roughly half of the sandwich and all of the salad came home. The specials menu offered Beef Stroganoff, it was well presented with a bed of wide noodles covered with the Stroganoff's creme sauce, mushrooms, onions and beef. I've used to having beef tips served, but this seemed to be cube steak or something similar, either way it had a mild flavor and was tender and mild. The onions are barely noticed; however, the mushrooms are plentiful with a firm texture making them substantive with a light flavor. The sauce made the dish though, its thick enough to lightly coat the noodles and other ingredients. I enjoyed the beef flavor combined with the (sour?) creme smoothing it out and adding richness. I considered the first few bites deeply seeking the taste of salt and found none. The noodles were a little disappointing, they were not of poor quality or improperly cooked, they are just not what I would have used. I prefer a pasta that is firmer and thinner, while this is thicker with a softer feel that your teeth sink into. I would however order the dish again. read more

Sadly there are pros and cons to being a "scratch" kitchen. Varying ingredients and cooks lead to inconsistent results. When you really like a salad with the chicken tenders and it varies from time to time to time. It is very disappointing. When you look forward to that perfect entree only to have it served the next time with a different quality of ingredients, style of cooking and different style of presentation. Disappointing smh. Mentioned it and the bartenders who also were the servers, they said, "yeah, it happens." Smh. Will be taking a break from this place. :( read more

The hamburger was great. The onion rings were great. The hummus platter was great. Service was great. I will be going back. I hope the secret does not get out. Prices are reasonable. My new fav place. read more

First time going to Oscars Alehouse . Wonderful ! The service was so hospitable and friendly . We didn't like the first location where we were seated , and the hostess was very gracious to move us to our choice, that we loved. The server was cheery and eager to please. She was very very good. Attentive to details about our order , so friendly and her timing was impeccable . Never missed a thing, and always making sure we were happy, without being overbearing . The food was REALKY GOOD!! So much do, that I plan to go again soon! And order the same thing . Veggie Burger . It was delicious. Every bite and all the way down to the roll. Toasted yet steamy warm and fresh at the same time . I tried my friends FF's and they tasted like boardwalk fries !!! My friend offered me one of hers , and ended up having several!! Sorry , my friend! Their iced tea was crazy good and fresh! When we left we were told goodbye by several , and it was again was as friendly and sincerely sweet as we were greeted.in entirety , as you may assess by my review , I highly recommend OAH !

Waited more than 15 min at the table and no one showed up to help with my order not even to pour us some water. And it's was not a busy day.

Decently large beer selection but would have loved having more local selections. For lunch we had the ribs, which we are not fans of. They were smokey, but more burnt smell and taste then the essence of wood flavor. Also tried the blackened chicken sandwich with fries, spicy but okay, and slightly dry. Mashed and veggies just needed seasoning, both. read more

My husband and I had lunch at Oscar's for the first time yesterday. A light crowd at the bar and adjoining dining area on a Monday, noon time. We reviewed the menu and both ordered the beef sliders which basically consisted of one burger cut in fours to accommodate the four burgers. Why not make four little patties because a slider should be exactly that! On a more positive note, the onion rings were recommended and with good reason! Battered and seasoned well. We also ordered the fried pickle appetizer and sent it back after both sampling one - way too heavy with the Old Bay Seasoning. In summary ..... Service was attentive and good. Prices reasonable. The ambience, nothing to write home about. The bar area needs an overhaul - being a large bar and sitting in the middle of the restaurant, it is the focal point of the restaurant and should be reflective of that. Definitely falls short in that area, in my opinion. The food was just ok. Would I rush back? No! Other Ale houses in the area that are so much better - Adam's Tape House in Severna Park for starters. read more

Great burgers , great service Try the shrimp club on a nice roll. However if burgers aren't your thing the whole menu is a winner read more

Having been a customer of the Frederick location, I was excited to try Oscar's in Pasadena, the 4 of us visited on 12/31 at 6:00 pm, the place was not very busy under 30 customers. Our service was slow though there were servers in a booth wrapping silverware nearby. The dish I enjoy the most at the Frederick location is the Cuban egg roll appetizers. The same appetizer at the Pasadena location was very disappointing, appearing more like the size of a spring roll, not filled well and lacking the same mixture of delicious flavors because it was so small. The burgers were good as reported by my fellow customers. The Pasadena location does resemble the same bar type atmosphere as the Frederick location, though Pasadena has many booths. Overall the steak sandwich I had was spicy, containing a marginally acceptable amount of meat. read more

Food is wonderful, tuna poke bowl is fabulous. Today was a special day, my birthday and my husband took me for lunch. The waitress was outstanding. Drinks were good. Only thing was it was freezing and I hate being cold when I trying to eat. I couldn't wait to leave to get warm. Even my husband was cold. Which never happens. We will be back with coats on. I had long pants and long sleeves but was still freezing. read more

Great service. Went for Saturday lunch. Restaurant had very few guests. Had shrimp and bacon club. I appreciated the creativity in coming up with this combo, adding Swiss cheese and great, fresh bread. They had unsweetened ice tea, which is a must for me. I usually comment on accessibility. There was just one handicapped parking spot. A restaurant that size could use more handicapped parking spots and a much wider area with a ramp from the lot to access the ramp to the door. Once inside the door, everything was on one level, and the tables seemed to be spaced far apart enough to allow a wheelchair to move in between. read more

Came here with friends for dinner. Unfortunately there were not that many vegetarian options on the menu. I ordered the bean burger which came with a salad and it was better than expected - was actually really good! For dessert I had the bread pudding which is more than enough for 2 people to share. Service was great, we stayed for several hours and didn't feel rushed to leave. I wish they'd add an impossible burger to their menu in the future. read more

Excellent food, friendly staff, and a killer beer menu. Many brews are local, and you won't see them on tap elsewhere. That being said, a 10oz snifter for $11 before 9% tax is a little steep. Go before 7 for happy hour pricing of $1.50 off drinks. Recommend their burgers, salmon salad, and BBQ Pizza. read more

I dined here for lunch in the late afternoon. There was hardly anyone in the restaurant. Their selection of beers is superb. The seared ahi tuna app and pizzas were delicious! read more

Nice place, friendly staff, good food. Turkey club is solid. French fries are very good.

We honestly only went here because of it being the hollowed out ghost of the Cheeseburger in Paradise. (Due to the loss of Jimmy Buffet) it was fast, friendly, and fun. I feel our burgers were under seasoned, but the fried old bay pickles made up for it. read more
