Diner chic
Kim L.

We learned at the distillery that Oscar's is a great local diner - so decided to try it! Great coffee, quick service and yummy eggs, sausage & bacon. We shared one biscuit - the second is ready for a mid morning snack! We sat and listened to locals - all who knew each other. Classic diner - friendly, awesomeness.

Cheesy potatoes, housemade onion rings, homemade ranch.

Great diner. Clean environment, friendly staff. Jessica was attentive without being obnoxious. Everyone greeted upon entering. "Home cooking" menu items from a bologna sandwich to hamburger steak and gravy and everything in between. Fried gizzard, livers, chicken. Sandwiches, salads. My guy ordered hamburger steak, mashed potatoes, and fried okra. Me, fried flounder sandwich, cheesy potatoes, onion rings. Homemade dressings, come on! Excellent ranch for dipping. Everything was excellent. My grandma would approve. Pineapple cake to finish. Large enough to share. Yum. Unsweetened iced tea is excellent. They leave a pitcher to refill your own. Best stop if you're traveling I-95!

5- for southern fried stuff, hubby's plate, it's solid 5 ( chicken gizzards perfect, cabbage (had pork in it), black eyed peas. 3.5- for me on chicken fried sandwich with rice and gravy. To me the rice / gravy needed more salt or flavor. Service- friendly, quick. Atmosphere- comfy diner seating, choose where you want to sit. Specials on different days. I'd like to return to try their chicken/ pastry ( Sundays and we'd). Would return.

Chicken tenders and mashed potatoes

One word... AMAZING! Got seated immediately, waitress very friendly. Lively atmosphere. Love the decor! Food was great. I had fried porkchop. It was delicious! My mom and dad both had beef tips. My sister had chicken tenders. All of our meals were delicious!!! But that dessert, that dessert was magical! We had strawberry cake and yellow cake with chocolate frosting. We will definitely be coming back! 5 Stars

Service is good and fast, the ladies there are very efficient. Food comes relatively fast. Just a run of the bill diner as far as food goes. Desert is pretty good. They keep it pretty cold in there, bring the sweater. Cool things hanging on the wall, here is the music they've got several signed guitars by prominent musicians. Coffee is always good and hot.

We were on I-95 going to SC when we decided to get off the beaten path and not to eat at an interstate highway fast food type place. A YELP search led me here and I would do it again. My chicken sandwich was very good but the fried okras will lead me back here-excellent. Fried okras' in the DMV just don't come out right, for some odd reason. You gotta eat them in a southern state to get them done right, no disrespect to the DMV chef's intended. Our waitress was busy serving a lot of tables, juggling us all, just right.There were a lot of "to-go" meals coming out of the kitchen. Lot's of pick-ups.

Smothered Chicken, Fried Apples and Black Eyed Peas

This was the best southern meal and hospitality I've experience in a long time. The service was great, the food was great and the prices were incredible.

This is the dog enjoying her to-go meal. I forgot to photograph my meal.

See all

Very simple, family-oriented diner. We ate lunch here while staying in nearby Henrico, NC. Server was nice/efficient. Food was delicious.
