Eat here fairly often and am rarely disappointed. I had the grouper fingers which were very good. My wife had the grilled shrimp, she normally gives me what she cannot eat but got a to go box to save them for another meal They even brought a brownie and ice cream for my birthday read more

The service is awesome. The food is amazing. And the cheese balls are out of this world.

Yum ! Recommended by a friend. Did not disappoint. Whole catfish was plenty and tasty. Will return. read more

Our family ate at Oskar's Café last weekend and enjoyed the new indoor waiting area and new seating. It's nice being inside with cool air while you wait for a table during the summer. We love the new look and all the upgrades. - Also, ordering online @ OskarsCafe.com for pickup is an easy process. read more

Nice staff and the food is always very good!! The fried mushrooms and homemade Ranch dressing are not available at many restaurants so that's always a treat. read more

Friendly staff and some of the best ranch dressing ever. IYKYK. Portions are substantial--fried chicken salad and the okra are our favorites. read more

I ordered 2 filet mignon steak dinners for a birthday celebration, 3 appetizers and spent $138. Got back to the house and we had ribeyes. I called to complain and the manager believed the cook over the paying customer. Filet is lean and without gristle. Our steaks were flat and had quite a bit of gristle. Needless to say we won't be going back. Oskar's has certainly went downhill with the quality of their service. read more

We had the best service and food last night-catfish fingers were the best and the hush puppies to die for. Prices reasonable!! But the best part was the great hostess and waitress that we had-highly recommend this place if you are ever at Lake Martin read more

When you go camping at Lake Martin and cooking is not what interests you, the best thing to do is find something local. While the food I ordered was good, I am in love with these cheese balls! They are huge, creamy and so flavorful! read more

Oskar's Cafe - Seafood Near Me - Dadeville, Alabama

We had dinner last night and all 4 of us were raving about the food. It greatly exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend!

I am an Army guy that over the process of the past four years has been voluntold to plan a family lake day for our unit. We always use the Maxwell MWR Lake area and have a meal and fun day for the families. Oskar's has prepared ( catered ) the food flawlessly four times consecutively! BBQ sandwiches and a side all in a neat styrofoam container with plastic wear. All for a very reasonable price! Super friendly service and great tasting food! This is how it's done .... other restaurants would fail miserably! Thank you Oskar's staff for being apart of Summertime fun and memories! read more

Excellent. Good service and good food. The fried platter is the best! Worth a try and then you'll come back fo more.

Oskar's is always on our list after long days in the sun on the lake. We ordered take out twice this week and have dined in on prior summer trips, and always enjoyed their food. Make sure to get some cheese balls, if dining in (amazing & slightly spicy). The restaurant has been renovated as of last year and always has welcoming, friendly staff. The fromt entrance feels like you're walking into someone's house, with a somewhat rustic, comfortable vibe. Sadly, we heard they are up for sale; hoping someone local keeps the recipes and location alive! Only suggestion: salads were great except the lettuce being cut in long strips that made it hard to eat without cutting. Would love a spring mix blend added instead of 100% iceberg read more

Having grown up coming to Lake Martin multiple times a year, Oskar's Cafe is the epitome of great food. Each time I return to the lake, no trip is complete without multiple trips to Oskar's. I have not changed my order for about a decade as the large cheeseburger with a side of corn nuggets continues to invoke nostalgia and a great meal. I have yet to have someone at my table that doesn't thoroughly enjoy their meal. Lake Martin and Oskar's coexists as a great place to be! read more

We ate there on Saturday 8/27/16. Here's what you need to know. Friendly service $7.95 lunch special includes a side and a beer BBQ ribs were tender abs flavorful The BBQ sauce needs work. Onion rings were fantastic Burger w cheese and bacon was very good Patio seating Decent value Not fancy, about what you ought to expect at the lake Looking for gourmet...... Drive to Opileka read more

Visited Oskar's our first night at Lake Martin and were pleasantly surprised! The service was fast and friendly and the portions were huge! Everything we ordered was delicious. By far, the chili was my absolute favorite, but their onion rings and fried pickles are also good appetizer choices. The oyster po boy and chicken tenders were yummy and all for a relatively good price. Great start to our weekend! read more

Love the food!! It's amazing and the service is even better! I absolutely love this place and will be coming back soon!

We tried Oskar's one night after boating on Lake Martin... It seems to be a favorite for locals so perhaps I'm missing something. I tried their BBQ plate and was just not impressed. Food was served on some really cheap plastic dishes. The BBQ was greasy, and came with a generous amount of gristle. It was low on smokiness too, so it just fell off the scale. I'm not a fan and would look further down the road for another adventure if I had it to do again. read more

We always go to Oskar's when we're at Lake Martin. Food and service were good, but apparently the kitchen could have used a few more hands. Took a LONG time to get our food, but the server was attentive and polite. read more

I've been to Oskar's Cafe a couple of times. The service is always friendly and I love the down home country cooking. The BBQ is a bit too smoky for my taste, but that is just my personal preference. I have enjoyed everything else I've gotten there... Went there on my birthday last week and was given a complimentary dessert which was just yummy - warm chocolate fritters topped with ice cream and whipped cream... Good stuff! Oskar's is always on the list when I'm in town! read more

We've been in the area 2 days and had 2 meals there and 1 carry out. Convenient to Stillwaters. Most places that have such a wide variety are mediocre at everything, but Oskar's was really good on everything we had. Barbecue is great. 3 sauces , 2 that I liked but that is my taste. Good wood grilled burgers, great chicken sandwich-the Rooster. Definitely would recommend. And great service too! read more

So I had an order of 9 meals so as a courtesy I called it in last night. Came to pick it up today and waited for over 30 min for half my food while the other half was getting cold. Never again! read more

Enjoyed Salads, Fried Shrimp, Ribs & Fried Grouper Fingers. Onion Rings were also great.

This place is our go to. The staff is wonderful. The food is fantastic! The fried pickles are the best around! We have never walked into Oskar's and left unhappy!! It's always worth the drive! read more

This is definitely a staple in Dadeville. I have been enjoying this food for almost 15 years and it never disappoints! Those chicken fingers are some of the best you'll find and you can't ask for a nicer, more professional staff. Make sure you go hungry, the portions are huge! Always, ALWAYS order the corn nuggets (best in town) and sweet tea!! I have ordered various items on the menu and they were all yummy! Oskar's has daily specials for lunch and dinner so give it a try, you won't be disappointed! read more

Went in to fill out an application upon a friends request because they needed help. I went in and filled out my application. When I got done the manager "Ronnie" grabbed my paper and asked what my name was and shook my hand. I put on my application that I could work Monday through Saturday. He proceeded to ask me why I couldn't work Saturdays or Sundays I told him I can work Saturdays just not Sundays because I go to church that it's my religious day. He then tells me to call him back when I could work Sundays, walks away, balls my application up and throws it away. The level of unprofessionalism this individual has. I later called to speak with the owner and told him what happened and while he acted like he didn't care that I was denied a job because of my religious beliefs I then hung up. After we got off the phone I was told by other workers that him and the manager Ronnie laughed at the situation as a whole. Wow what great new business owners and managers this place has now! Not professional or mature at all. Will be making a claim with the U.S Equal Opportunity Commission board. read more

good southern food with no frills. Maybe a bit overpriced but probably the most popular restaurant in the area

Oskar's Cafe is a true southern hospitality experience. The service is phenomenal and the inside decor is homey. They're known for their BBQ and fish, but there really isn't a bad thing on their menu. I recommend the cheese balls appetizer as well, it's definitely worth it. I got the blackened catfish which was a ton of food, especially with the two sides. If you're looking for a good place to eat around Lake Martin, Oskar's is it. read more

I had the BBQ plate with fried okra & Brunswick stew. Everything was amazing! Highly recommend!

One of my long-standing favorite restaurants at Lake Martin. I love their fried cheese balls, homemade blue cheese dressing and sweet tea with crushed ice. During this Corona virus outbreak, they bring your food to your numbered space in the parking lot. read more

Do you remember your first Hamburger, and how did you know that? Everytime I think about burgers, I think it's all about the food. They have a variety of options on their menu such as the one with the most amazing features. Their prices are very low and they are not very good. You can get a whole lot of good deals and a great price. Bring your friends and family if you want to go. They have many locations and a few months ago I was thinking about you. They have fries, ice cream, and breakfast but I don't know how to feel about it. read more

I can't recall having a bad meal. I would recommend their burgers, onion rings, country fried steak, bbq, fries, ranch dressing, catfish fingers. The only complaint I can think of is that it's hard to get into sometimes due to being so crowded. read more

Check your takeout order for accuracy. Fried pickles aren't the same thing as French fries. Ticket was right, order was wrong.

Oskar's is a place where it is worth driving out of your way for. We were heading to Auburn and drove a little extra to get some of the best cheese balls and fried catfish! read more

Oskar's Cafe - Seafood Near Me - Dadeville, Alabama

See all

I lead a group of 13 to the Lake Martin area. We contacted Oskar's that morning to let them know I was bringing 13 folks to the restaurant on 7/29/23 (Saturday) and we would be arriving at approximately 12:30 pm for lunch. I was obviously concerned because we were arriving at peak lunch time and Oskar's is a smaller restaurant. When we arrived the parking lot was crowded and I was concerned about being seated. However, when we approached the door a server met us and open the door with a smile and confirmed "are you the group of 13 we're waiting for?" I said "yes we are", and we were lead to the back room and we were seated immediately. On the way through the restaurant to our table I noticed that almost every other table/booth was full. Our table was complete with menus and silverware - our server Melanie was there to announce that she would bring us all water in huge 30 oz plus glasses and then return to take our orders. Please note that it was over 105 degrees outside and we were all riding motorcycles, so large glasses of water with ice were very appreciated. The service was amazing and the food was great - I highly recommend Oskar's for your dinning pleasure in the Lake Martin area. Much thanks to McKenzie, Melanie, and the staff for an amazing experience! read more

There are only a couple of restaurants that I really miss from Alabama now that I have a gazillion dining choices in Dallas, but I must say that Oskar's is certainly one of them. I absolutely love this place! Oskar's is one of those restaurants that I always got excited about visiting to as a kid.They have the best pulled-pork BBQ on the planet (and a perfectly sweet+tangy BBQ sauce), and don't even get me started on their amazing corn nuggets. Oh, the corn nuggets! Oskar's is a Lake Martin staple, and (in my opinion) the best restaurant in the area. It's usually quite crowded on weekends from what I remember, but half of the time we always got take-out and just grubbed on our dock. Score! If you are ever near the Lake Martin/Dadeville area, you have to check out Oskar's. This place is the definition of Alabama BBQ+soul food. read more

I chose Oskar's for my Birthday Dinner on January 5th. It was myself, my husband and our two adult daughters. We were seated and received our drinks ,we ordered and it took an hour to receive our food. One of my daughter's ordered chicken fingers fried extra crispy and the other ordered a farmer Ken's chicken sandwich without pickles and chicken fingers fried extra crispy. When we finally got our food the chicken fingers were almost white so we sent them back. My husband and I received our food, I ordered country fried steak, baked potato and cole slaw. The gravy on the steak had already congealed, the cole slaw was very soupy to the point that it actually had a spoon stuck down in it, I wasn't given any salt, pepper or butter for the potato. We couldn't begin eating because we had no silverware. My husband finally asked another waitress for some. When my daughter's food came back out one had some burned chicken and the other had pickles. One of my daughter's ordered her husband a hamburger steak plate to go when we first ordered. The order was never turned in so we had to wait on it after we had already waited to get our food. A lady came over and apologized and offered us a dessert which we declined. She said that she would take some off of our ticket. She took $2 off. When we got in the car my daughter checked her husband's plate and it didn't have any onions and it had fried pickles which wasn't ordered. We were very disappointed especially since it was my birthday dinner. I've had a gastric sleeve so I don't eat much at a time and I ALWAYS take my leftovers home but not tonight because it wasn't worth taking home. read more

Actually, I would give this place a 4.5 stars, but...sigh... that is not an option. Homey sort of place, near the lake, in a vacation house sort of area. Still working good working folks, but a bit more of a "have fun" area. It IS out in the boonies! Oskar's came highly recommended, and judging by the lunch crowd in the parking lot, I can see why. They were busy. Service is friendly and attentive as my friends in the rural South are so often blessedly reliable at being. The menu is large, and for the most part sticks to its fish theme except fo the necessary burgers, chicken, and steak. Several things looked good. Dinner salad is a simple affair with chopped lettuce, purple onion and generous tomat. Most of the salad dressings are homemade. Yum! The blue cheese is good. I had the blackened grouper sandwich, which was just about right with added tabasco. The sweet tea was a little thin for me, but still good and regularly delivered. What was so steller here was the dessert selections. They had some chocolate thing that sounded unusually and very good. For now I skipped that for something a little more portable. Homemade "southern fried pies". You know, like you get cold and limp in just about every convenience store. WOW!@!@@@# I had coconut, and everything was right. Perfectly cooked, perfect light and slightly flaky crust and lovely filling. My fried pie really was fantastic. I am definately going to be going back to Oskar's in the future. read more

Great restaurant ,The blacken grouper and shrimp very good almost everything a person could want is on the menu. Take a nice ride out to Lake Martin and try it out. read more

My husband and I ventured off the beaten path during our road trip through the south. We stayed at Creek Side Lodge in Dadeville, AL and Oskars is conveniently right next door. The locals were extremely open to striking up a conversation, which is just what we love. We had some delicious Cheese Balls to start our meal - AMAZING! The catfish dinner was tasty and the grilled shrimp were scrumptious! It took a while for our wine and beer, due to the rush of guests and under age servers. That aside, it was a great place to get our southern fried food fix! read more
