My visiting sister-in-law and I stopped by for dinner and mostly everything was awesome. The butter beans were not good, but the whole experience and the main dishes made up for it. We didn't have a reservation so we were in the lounge which was spacious. The staff was friendly. We'll definitely come back. read more

Not good but not bad. Food was OK but nothing special. This is a special event place for older people. Your grandparents will love this. It's very dark and the booths are tiny. Service was great though. But I would not go back. read more

Food isn't to bad the steak could be improved not very impressive by the price. There's other options for better price and quality

Went on a Thursday night and enjoyed it very much. Service is very good, ambiance is upscale without pretentiousness. Food, it was very good, but not amazing. read more

First time at Oscar's and I'm pleased to say I will be back. Seeing so many people in and out we knew the food had to be good. We went around dinner time (around 6:30/7pm) and waited roughly 30 minutes for a table for two. All the staff were pleasant. Our appetizer was the Brussel sprouts tempura style; first time and not my favorite style but not bad. I ordered the seafood burrito and it was so good! You could tell because every bite I took was followed by a "mmm!" and a shimmy lol! My husband ordered the salmon and shrimp pasta. The shrimp was his favorite part of the dish. I had a taste and it was pretty good! Overall a good time, couldn't hear the music much once inside but there were sports playing on the TVs and happy faces. Next time I'll need to save room for dessert. read more

There aren't a lot of "fine dining" options in the Summerville area. Oscar's is one of the options if you're looking for a somewhat nicer meal. The atmosphere is still pretty causal. The food was good! The fired crab cake appetizer was my favorite. The shrimp cocktail and bruschetta were okay. The meals we all chose were good! My short rib was tender. The salads are good size! Lots of seating options. They have daily specials M-F and happy hour 4-7pm during the week. read more

Oscar's - Shrimp Cocktail and Bruschetta - American Near Me - Summerville, South Carolina

Exceeded expectations Great/ prompt service Went with someone with a seafood allergy. Food was prepared correctly and the pub menu offered to give plenty of options for seafood less fare. read more

This may be the best food I've tasted in Charleston and I am a big food snob B u T..... you gotta wonder why a restaurant that has this high quality of food and service would have Fox News playing behind the bar every minute that it's open. I asked if that was an every day thing. Both the wait staff and the management said yes, unfortunately and they can't get the owners to change it. Forcing fascist politics on their customers has got to be one of the dumber things a business owner can do. read more

As I sit here chewing two tums, I'm not very pleased with our meal. I got the short ribs and my husband got the shrimp and grits. My short ribs were tasty and tender but something in the gravy did not agree with my stomach (hence the tums, which is not normal for me). My husbands shrimp and grits were just sad. No seasoning, no roux, no flavor. He complained about it the whole time even after dousing with Tabasco. We know good shrimp and grits, this was not it. The service was great But it was to hot inside. Not impressed, won't be back. I'm adding a bonus comment at 11 pm. Explosive you know what just about an hour after eating. We had the she crab soup as an appetizer. Or as my husband referred to it "shit crab soup" I'm not really sure which made me ill. We ate around 6 pm read more

We picked Oscar's for our Mother's Day brunch because my daughter went there last year and couldn't stop talking about it all year! Our server greeted us upon arrival and informed us of the food options in different rooms. EVERY room had a food station... breakfast, cold items, carving station, dinner items and desserts. The beef, the shrimp and grits, mac and cheese and seafood crepes were some of my favorites in the warm/dinner area. The desserts were " out of this world" and we ended up sharing each of them.. carrot cake, peanut butter pie, red velvet cake and blueberry pie.. to name a few. At the "salad bar" we enjoyed homemade pimento cheese, shrimp and a yummy broccoli salad. I liked how the food was plated by servers. Our waitress was very attentive. Definitely wood return! read more

Let's be real. Oscars isn't holding up. Super weak drinks. Horrible house salad that was served warm (super hard to keep lettuce chilled?), wilted, browned and limp. Disgusting. And this is your intro to my meal? Have a bit more pride. Now all steaks are "market price"? Those are some tough, chewy steaks. Skip it, too many choices now around Summerville. Honestly, you can easily do better. Try Icehouse. read more

What is not fabulous about this place The food is consistently excellent as well is the service You can expect your dining experience will be every penny well spent ! The ambiance is excellent and never get tired of going there Worth the trip up to Summerville despite the traffic It will be worth it read more

Fantastic! The food was really great and the server was very friendly and helpful when our party had questions about the menu. The only reason I am putting four start instead of five is because we had to wait at the bar until our table was ready, which was fine as we didn't have a reservation but the barmaid was a bit sour and cold which was very off putting. But I definitely recommend giving this place a visit for the fantastic food! read more

This place was recommended by many locals. Its was pretty good. There was a small wait but nothing crazy. I ordered braised short ribs with mashed potatoes. It was cooked perfectly. It's definitely and old school Vibe and a little pricy so I don't imagine it's will be a regular go to but definitely worth checking out from time to time. read more

Everything from the shinny silverware to the meal was great. the she-crab in my humble opinion had more crab and was thicker than the more expensive one i had at Hxxx's chop house. the Fried Calamari was TENDER just the way i like it. all in all this is one review that i can't say anything bad about it. i will be back and no i'm not related to anyone there read more

Posted same review on Google but. Me and my boyfriend went here for a small dinner for our anniversary! The restaurant is very beautiful and packed. Unfortunately there was a small misunderstanding with our reservation. It was for 7pm and me and my boyfriend checked and and the hostess said it will only be a few minutes. We'll somehow me and my boyfriend ending up waiting 1 whole hour to be seated. We then asked what's going on. And they said someone marked us as a no show even though we sat in the restaurant the whole time in front of the host stand without anyone calling our name. Nonetheless the food and our server was amazing! But I do wish the manager came to the table. I feel like we should got some sort of discount. All we really got was a I'm sorry from the hostess. It's fine but I was kinda upset. read more

Oscar's - Ny strip Queen prime rib Frutti Pasta - American Near Me - Summerville, South Carolina

How have we been here for years and never knew this hidden gem existed?! The appetizers (grouper bites & fried green tomatoes) were great! And the prime rib and ribeyes we ordered were cooked and seasoned perfectly!!! The service and ambience was exactly what put this gem at the top of the list of steak restaurants in this area. Cody was our server and was extremely kind and attentive! read more

Oscar's never disappoints! The food and service is always on point. Very well priced. My favorite is their shortrib dinner!

Take note people. "4 star Steve" is gonna give Oscar's a "5 star" rating; which is unheard of in my world! Let's start right from the beginning shall we?? Lots of restaurants these days won't take reservations but Oscar's will. I even gave them a call a few minutes later, because I was afraid my wife might be late because of traffic, and I wanted to give us more time. They were very accommodating, regarding my request to move the reservations up 15 minutes. When you arrive at the restaurant, don't be dismayed by what you see for parking spaces out front, because there is an entire lot in the backside with plenty of room. With regard to the wine list, should you decide to buy a bottle of wine, you will find the price is competitive to other restaurants.. It's possible to get an average table wine for a reasonable price, and enjoy it completely, depending on the meal that you get. If you are knowledgeable about wine, you know that certain wines go better with certain sauces; it's just the way of things. The waiter was attentive and so many in this day and age are not. He remembered every detail of our wants and needs, and even anticipated a few. The bathrooms were clean and there was simple things available like paper towels and soap. Oftentimes, bathrooms get ignored, no matter how good the restaurant is! My wife asked that her Primavera not be overloaded with noodles; that there would be a good balance between the vegetables and the noodles, and the waiter made sure of that. With regard to salads and salad dressings they were fresh and there were plenty of optional original dressings made in house. The serving sizes were just fine and frankly I don't always like to bring home leftovers but I hate to waste food. In this case we had more than enough on our plates. That includes the Brown bread that came to the table which was wonderful, and even the keylime pie for dessert. That meal that we just had tonight, was well under a $100, including a bottle of wine. Some other restaurants in town would charge me about a $140 for that same meal! Lastly I should say something about the dining room and the overall seating area, which we felt was very comfortable and private. read more

I was disappointed. Quite shocked honestly about the quality of food. My chicken do overcooked and hard I could not the same with my steak. Sad honestly, I used to really like this restaurant and the quality was amazing. No longer so. read more

Excellent service. Food was so good. No foam made of meat, see-through lemon meringue, or super-constructed tiny-portion theatre... just simple classics executed wonderfully. Very happy with my lunch at Oscar's, would 100% return next time in town. read more

Not the same as it used to be. My dish was over cooked, and to much of the potato sticks covering the dish up, I was disappointed because I had been looking forward to the Scottish salmon. read more

Oscar's has been a hit two times we've been. We had reservations way in advance for the Mother's Day buffet, and we went spontaneously on Friday for a late lunch. The servers both times were so helpful and responsive. The atmosphere was warm and comforting, and the food was amazing... Very flavorful but not overfilling. I had the chicken Oscar, and my hubby had the beef. I gobbled up the banana foster. It was heaven. I can't wait to return! read more

Just moved to the area so I decided to give this place a shot based off the menu. I honestly wanted to order every appetizer but narrowed it down to the fried oysters and the fried green tomatoes. For my main course I had to try the fried chicken and it did not disappoint! Love The food choices on the menu. Everything was so delicious and cooked to perfection. My new favorite restaurant in the area. I'd give it 10 stars if I could. read more

I've passed this place so many times over the years and always meant to go, but haven't until this fall. There is great atmosphere and ambiance. The service was amazing, and the prices are reasonable. The food was excellent, I had the low country shrimp fry which was great. And the chipotle bbq nachos were awesome! I will definitely be going back! read more

Terribly disappointed. Ordered Frutti Di Mare. What I got was not Frutti Di Mare. It came with a cream sauce. No Frutti Di Mare recipe, ever, nowhere, comes with a cream sauce. And it was bland and overcooked. If I order a $30 pasta dish, it better come cooked perfectly al dente. And be what it's supposed to be. This was Alfredo. With only a skimpy portion of shrimp and scallops. "Fruit of the Sea" includes shrimp, scallops, AND MUSSELS, CLAMS, CALAMARI. Do not call it Frutti Di Mare and say it's your own specialty because you made it with half the signature ingredients and put a completely different sauce on it. You didn't make it the way it's supposed to be made! This was Shrimp and Scallop Alfredo. At least warn people when they order it. The rest of the dinner didn't even matter. I dropped $30 on just this plate and got hardly anything. It ruined the rest of my experience. read more

Oscar's - Supposedly Frutti Di Marre. Exactly as it arrived. All of 3 scallops and 3 shrimp. Noodles were overcooked. Terribly disappointed for $30. - American Near Me - Summerville, South Carolina

Extremely slow service tonight. An hour to get our entrees. Waitress and Manager both claimed the kitchen was very busy, sorry that's not my problem, fix it. If you take our reservation be prepared to serve us in a timely manner. Ruined our night out. Extremely disappointed and expect more from Oscar's, there are many dining options in Summerville read more

Oscars food is amazing! The atmosphere is nice, relaxed, and a little classy. The service was really good! You could tell our server was trying to up sale as much as he could.. a little on the pushy/annoying side but I guess you have to do what you have to do! We took my in-laws here for their last night in town and they loved the food. My fiancée is unfortunately allergic to seafood so we did wish they had more options without seafood.. even something basic like spaghetti or lasagna but overall it was great. We will be back! read more

We tried Oscar's awhile back and didn't have a spectacular experience. It was during the time when places were just starting to open up after Covid lockdowns so we just chalked it up to that and said we'd try again later. We finally got out there again last night and I have to say I don't understand the hype. For a $100 dinner for two I expect a fantastic meal. We got there early and sat at the bar. I got an old fashioned and my wife got some kind of chocolate martini. The old fashioned is one of the worst I've ever had. It had 0 presentation effort and just tasted like bourbon on the rocks. My wife said her martini had chunks of ice in it and just tasted like liquor. Once we got seated we experienced slow service despite it being near the end of the night and patrons thinning out. I got a steak with the garlic mashed potatoes. The steak was great and the potatoes were bland. My gripe is that it literally looked like my food was plated by a child. I'm not expecting an art show in front of me but for an expensive dinner you'd expect it to look like at least some effort was put in. Oh I forgot to mention we got the fried green tomatoes as an appetizer. I've had better. There was too much batter and not enough tomato. The ambiance was nice and clean as you'd expect for an upscale place. Slightly dimmed lighting throughout the building. Summary: should you completely avoid it? No. Could you get a better meal for a similar price? Probably. read more

Outstanding! Perfect meal for our 23rd anniversary dinner, we can't wait to go back. read more

This was our first time there & it will not be the last. Service second to none! Food was on point! The ambiance was great for the Xmas season! read more

Bar staff were fast and friendly but that was only 10 minutes of my time spent at this restaurant. Upon being sat my friends and I were treated more like nuisances and not customers. The food was dry and had no seasoning. The "garlic" mashed potatoes had no flavor and seemed as if they were frozen and reheated. Overall, the service and quality of the meal is not at all what I was expecting. read more

I always have a great meal at Oscar's. Great servers that really know the menu. Sunday brunch is the best in town. read more

Very very disappointing. Hot food was lukewarm. Both the she crab and French onion were only warm. When the main course was ready it was put on a tray near by but was left unattended for almost 10 min and it lost most of it's heat if there was any. The place was not crowded so that's not an excuse. When we told that food was cold and even one person sent back a meal. No one cared. No manager - nothing. Never again. Oh. We even had to go looking for our bill. If you read the past couple of reviews it seems like it's a new downward trend. What was the most irritating factor was that NO ONE cared. I had their Frutti Di Mare. A seafood pasta dish. Shrimp, scallops, crab, tomato, spinach, parmesan cheese, light garlic cream sauce and linguine. Sounds a lot better than it was. read more

We went on a weekend night without reservations but they still seated us immediately on the patio which was kept cozy with heaters. Food was delicious. Service was great, our server had wonderful recommendations for first time guests. read more

Great restaurant with nice indoor and outdoor seating options. Food was good, service was exceptional--particularly given that we were a large, unannounced party and, due to the occasion, a bit rowdy. Staff accommodated, the manager checked in, and crew made sure the outdoor heaters were cranking. Would definitely visit again. read more

The prime rib is outstanding! Great old time atmosphere! Definitely a keeper! The service was outstanding as well!
