Have to make Reservations which was very easy process. The place parking was tricky but they have a lot in the rear. Beautiful seating for all groups and the place ambiance is very tasteful. Service was above standard and the food was portioned perfectly and delicious . True 5 star for a first date and great evening out read more

Came in for a 3pm late lunch. We both had the shrimp and grits and it was delicious. Lots perfectly cooked shrimp, cheese, grits of course and pork belly. Service excellent. Manager came by to make sure everything was good. Really enjoyed Oscar's! No pictures- we snarfed too fast. read more

Everything was very good. The server was knowledgeable and helpful with choices. The service was excellent. We all left with satisfied full bellies. Great restaurant. read more

First of all, my wife prefers a booth and I usually have to ask for one. We got a booth without asking so that was a great way to start! We've been to Halls and ordered filet mignon and they were too rare so when we ordered filet mignon here we both got medium well. They were perfect. Sides were perfect and we were too full for desert. It was busy but it was like we were all alone in our booth. Service was top notch and we tipped accordingly. We will return and recommend to anyone that listens. read more

While visiting Charleston for a friends wedding weekend my husband and I found a night to ourselves and couldn't eat any more BBQ so Yelp helped us find Oscars with its many 4 and 5 star reviews. The lack of available reservations made us hope we were picking the right place. Called at 3pm not hopeful they would have anything but they ended up being able to seat us at 8:15 so we took it (despite being slightly later than we would have liked.) We arrived to an adorable building that looked like an old house with both outdoor seating and indoor seating that seemed to be one side with a bar that was more casual dining but also a more formal dining room. Our server Charlie was fantastic and went over all the specials and helped make recommendations since it was our first visit. Prime rib cooked perfectly, an enormous wedge salad with creamy tangy bleu cheese, scallop appetizer was melt in your mouth and consisted of 4 large scallops but the only item that wouldn't get 5 stars in my eyes was the crab soup. The texture seemed a little off but the flavor was definitely there. Overall we would definitely come back to Oscars on another trip to try the many other menu items we had to pass up. read more

I cannot believe it took me so long to try Oscar's! The food and service were phenomenal. Our waitress, Dre, was really amazing. She always had a beautiful smile on her face and gave us the perfect amount of attention. I had shrimp n grits for my meal and it was very good. read more

Took my parents to Oscars for their last night in town visiting. They said it was their favorite meal. Honestly, one of the best crabcakes I've had in CHS. Stepmom loved the fried chicken, simple yet packed with flavor. Had to save room for the peanut butter pie too of course. Interesting place with 3 different atmospheres all under one roof. Good diverse menu. Something for everyone. read more

French onion soup, filet and a shrimp and grits?* dinner for us tonight. I am shocked to say everything was excellent. Food was excellent. Staff was kind and attentive. We sat in the outdoor patio area and it was lovely. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone in the area and would visit again! read more

Great menu variety! Definitely something for everyone! I made reservations for when I had family visiting from Wilmington. Our waitress was very kind and knowledgeable. The food was amazing! I had the fried chicken with mashed potatoes and Mac n cheese and my husband had the grilled chicken sandwich with fries. Everything was served warm and came out within a timely fashion. Would definitely be a nice place for a small work or family function. read more

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

First time here visiting from DC. The food/drinks were great. However towards the end April the General Manager comes over to the table and states "a group of old ladies said that they couldn't concentrate on their food from all the loud noise coming for the back." One thing to note is that it's after 9PM, hardly anyone in the restaurant, 2 groups of African American customers "sitting in the back", and 2 white ladies sitting mid-way through the restaurant. Once April stated that we asked for the check she walked away and never came back out. Now, not once did April communicate that same concern to the other group of black people. We left feeling disrespected and disappointed. I will never come back to this place. read more

Been coming here for many years and have never been disappointed. The team is always up and we've never been said "no" about a special request. The collards are the best... makes eating your veggies a special treat. Love the re-done patio. Quiet elegance in a parking lot...Great job everyone! read more

Oscar's - Crab Enchiladas - American Near Me - Summerville, South Carolina

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

This updated review is years too late. I have eaten at Oscars at least a dozen times in the last few years. I was hesitant to go after my previous experience, but a friend gave us a gift card and my wife weren't going to waste it. I am so glad I did. Oscars totally redeemed theirselves. I haven't had anything short of a great meal since. I've tried specials. I've tried regular menu items. Everything is great. My daughter chooses Oscars for special occasions and will choose Oscars over another well-regarded steakhouse in town (H@ll$ Ch0ph0u$e) Typically easy to get a reservation (even last minute) If not available, it's never a long wait to eat in the bar section. The wait staff has been friendly and knowledgeable every time. 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

Incredible service and cuisine in a beautiful space! The main dining area is lovely, and the bar area is comfortable and casual. Oscar's is easily my favorite restaurant in Summerville. 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

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

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

Male manager? Right away dismissed my service animal. He lunged towards her to get a reaction, then said" yea she's not trained, you'll be sitting on the patio". First place we ate coming to look into moving here. On top of that ? Salmon meal came out chilling cold with cold mash potatoes . The manager April was very nice and accommodating, but the night was already ruined. Thanks Oscar's!! How many years in business? read more

The food was amazing! The ambiance is casual on one side and slightly formal on the other. Nicole was very attentive and a joy. No complaints. read more

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

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 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

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

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

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

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
