Oscar's II Restaurant & Bar

Blazers is a 10/10 for both food and drink…read more There are bars and pubs all over the world. Most likely of them litter the earth like wrappers from spent candy bars, a constant reminder of good times gone by. And then you get The Blazer. It is one of those places that shouldn't be there but it is and we are all the better for it. A low ceiling, low lights, jubilant conversation in the background all make for a snug setting. The bar is a seen out of Cheers with the conversation between business man and blue collar foreman flowing as quickly and easily as the beer from the tap. The drinks are cold and served quickly with a smile but it's the food that takes the crown. The menu is small but everything is cooked and presented perfectly. In all the years God has blessed me with life I have never had a better chicken wing. The Blazer traditional wing is served dry with limited spice but full flavored and from a temperature standpoint hotter than the devil's pitchfork. They were perfectly cooked, completely rendered, flavorful gifts of gastronomic joy. The burgers, cooked in a broiler style format, were fresh, perfectly cooked, delicious and of ample portion. The chicken fingers, which were each one a meal, served red hot, perfectly cooked, crunchy on the outside and tender within. The chili cheese dog was everything it should be and the French fries, which are a traditional steak fry cut, were incredibly crunchy on the outside and soft and tender within. Every bar and pub owner and chef should come here. This is the superlative example of a simple menu, cooked perfectly and served quickly with a smile. It is obvious that the setting, service and menu gets them to come back again and again across generations from miles and miles around.

I love the feel of this place, the personality, the authenticity, and the vibe…read more.. For this, Blazers easily reaches three stars. We came as we understood the wings were the best in Westchester County... After trying two varieties, and being on a perennial wing trail chase for the last four years... I find that title difficult to believe. Wings were meaty, cooked correctly, and came well appointed with blue cheese and celery. Plus, I'm a sucker for wing establishments that provide the wooden bowl for bones. I love that. Otherwise, I found the wings lightly sauced, and kind of dry... We tried the blazers traditional, which are fried, sauce, then refried... They needed one more dunk in sauce to be top-notch. Our second order was their teriyaki wings... much more palatable... But we're still lacking. And I'm not a huge fan of wings that are not sauced in a hot sauce base. The opportunity to add a side of wasabi sauce to any wings was a welcome addition... As we needed the moisture. We did not try any other menu items, but the pub food looked delicious... And our server was fantastic. I do look forward to going back and trying to order things slightly differently... I'll chalk this first experience up on me not really strategically placing my order or knowing how to maximize the potential of a really great place. I know next time will be better.

I went on karaoke night and had a blast. The DJ Tom was very good and made it fun for everyone. My food was good but I have some recommendations. Buffalo wings could use less sauce, there is a point where there is too much sauce when it's like wings soup so cut back on the sauce 50% and I think you would hit the sweet spot. The chicken tenders were cooked perfectly however the breading to meat ratio was way off. I'd rather less bread and the same amount of meat. The drink were great and with a little more attn to detail this place is going to be amazing.

I assumed the…read moreweather might keep people home, but between the snow and football Sunday, it was clearly a busy night. Despite that, our party of four was seated immediately, which was a nice surprise. The atmosphere was lively and loud because of the games, but not in a bad way. However, we were seated toward the back near the kids' area, and there were children screaming at the top of their lungs. Not the restaurant's fault at all, but definitely something to keep in mind if you're looking for a quieter experience -- this is clearly a very kid-friendly spot. We started with the fried pickles. They were tasty, but the portion was quite small and the presentation was pretty underwhelming. For my main, I ordered the French onion soup and boneless wings. The soup was great, but the wings were just okay -- very dry and lacking flavor. I ordered garlic parmesan, but could barely taste the sauce. The rest of my group ordered burgers and said they were pretty good, and everyone agreed the fries were excellent. They have a large beer selection, and the beer was cold, which is always a plus. They also have games like darts, which would be fun to come back and play. Overall, it's a decent place to watch a game if you're in the area. I won't rush back, but everything was pretty middle-of-the-road -- and to be fair, the place doesn't seem like it's trying to be anything more than that.

Everything was fresh and the tomatoes crisp. The place itself is ok. There are two rooms and the room with the bar and entertainment was extremely stuffy and warm, the other room felt like Antarctica. Bathrooms were clean with 3 stalls, although one was out of order. Overall I'd give this place 3-1/2 stars, but with that not being an option I opted for 3.

To find it, drive up to the top (third) level and it faces away from the street at the end (furthest from where you drive into the third row). It's a great neighborhood pub that happens to have some indoor virtual golf rooms. There's a lot of space and not so many tables in the front section, which get filled up on trivia night. The service was very friendly. I had the ribs special with fries. I was a bit surprised when it came out with only three ribs. They were also pretty small. On the good side, the meat fell off the bone. The rub, if there was one, was not evident. The sauce that came with it tasted like store-bought sauce. Maybe one of the Jack Daniels BBQs. It was thick and very sweet. Fries were standard shoestring that also felt like they were store bought, but they weren't greasy at all. I'll try the wings next time. If they are not on special, they are pretty expensive if you calculate the cost per wing. Decent beer selection. Guinness comes from the can and they use the small 12oz tulip glasses. They do have a small selection on tap. Prices are reasonable, even for the specials, although the serving size is only good enough for a snack for anyone bigger than a 6th grader. Burgers seemed much bigger and plentiful from what I could see. Trivia on Thursdays is fun, although it is corporate trivia, which is not as much fun as personally tailored trivia that you see in some other places. They have lots of numbers questions or facts that no one would ever know because they are too detailed and the host generally does not understand the answers or mispronounces them. Definitely worth a visit if you are local, but don't come hungry if you plan to order a special.

This was by far one of the worst restaurant experiences I have ever had. The service is unbelievably slow, and the staff seem completely uninterested in helping customers. The woman working there and the guy behind the counter spent more time staring at me than actually doing their jobs. At one point I walked in, received a text message, and looked at my phone for literally a few seconds. When I looked back up, the guy behind the counter was already shaking his head "no" at me as if I was asking him for some huge favor. It was incredibly rude and unprofessional. Last time I checked, helping customers is what he gets paid to do. The entire atmosphere feels like customers are an inconvenience rather than the reason the business exists. Nobody greets you properly, nobody seems eager to help, and every simple request feels like you're bothering them. I've been sitting here waiting for what feels like forever, and the service is moving at a painfully slow pace. In fact, I've had so much time waiting that I was able to sit down and write this entire review while absolutely nothing was happening. That's how slow this place is. Watching paint dry would probably be faster and more entertaining than waiting for service here. The food isn't worth the wait either. The smell was unpleasant, and the overall experience was disappointing from start to finish. To make matters worse, the manager was rude and seemed completely unconcerned about the customer experience. I rarely leave negative reviews, but this place earned it. Between the terrible attitude, the lack of customer service, the endless waiting, and the rude behavior from the staff, I can honestly say I will never come back. There are plenty of restaurants that actually appreciate their customers, and I'll gladly spend my money at those places instead. Save yourself the frustration, the wasted time, and the disappointment. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. read more

We discovered OSCAR's 2 while looking for a local restaurant in the area that was open on a Monday night! Who would have thought? What a discovery. It has become our favorite restaurant in the area. Great food, excellent service, reasonable prices ... and a friendly, welcoming staff that makes you feel like family! We are working our way through the menu, and after 6 visits are unable to decide what we like best. Everything is soooooo good! Can't wait to go back again ... and again. Thank you Rudy and staff. read more

I also noticed how the pasta wasn't over or undercooked. I could also tell that my dad and my grandpa really enjoyed their meals as well. The food quality was great and our service was impeccable. Our server was helpful and was able to answer all of my questions. The server was also very helpful when it came to taking care of my grandpa who had trouble seeing the menu. She brought an extra light to the table in order for him to see the menu which was really kind. In general I would say that I enjoy my trips to Katonah and I think it's pretty cool how the owners of the restaurant had the idea to convert the old train station into the restaurant. If you look closely you can see that there are some elements of the restaurant that make it appear as if you are in an old fashioned train station but I am confused by all of the horses although I do love them.

Blue Hill at Stone Barns (2 Michelin stars) and La Bastide by Andrea Calstier (1 Michelin star) are the only two Westchester County restaurants with Michelin Status. Purdy's rugged farm based surroundings on this clear bright morning were a bit unusual for what one would expect.
