We took my mom there for her birthday and the food was delicious. We had a reservation for our party of 12 and were seated within 5 minutes. The calamari was spectacular and my mom really enjoyed her meal. read more

The service was great! Nice quiet atmosphere in the dining area. Unfortunately one of our guests was very unhappy with her Caesar salad due to dressing very watery, not creamy and her steak (which was so expensive that it wasn't posted the cost on menu) had grissle in it so was difficult to cut. The manager did take the cost of her meal off the tab, but would have preferred they had a good meal. read more

Amazing Food with amazing service. I had the French Dip, while my fiancé ordered the Chicken Carbonara. Portions are just right and the flavor is everything! Our server Kelvin was very knowledgeable about the establishment and extremely helpful when it came to any questions we had. We were in Summerville on our semi vacation but this will become a go to place for us anytime we come to visit. read more

Wonderful food, usually pretty good service. Depending on server. Need reservations always, especially Thursday thru Sunday. Nice atmosphere too in the main dining room. read more

Still love this place but seems quality has taken a dive. Service is still phenomenal. A little too dark in restaurant.

This place has been open for years and it is because their menu does not change much and they don't have to. I have a few favorites I often order because when the belly knows what the belly wants, well, you know. I love their She Crab soup, Seafood burrito, and Fried buttermilk chicken for comfort beyond satisfaction food! One of my favorite desserts (who am I kidding? It's my favorite!) there has tricked me for years, though. The Caramel Xango is a one of a kind dessert frequently ordered (doesn't matter if you're full! Just order it) that I split (and I typically don't like to share) and for years I thought it had banana in it! It's deliciously worth the calcium chews you will need later, though. read more

My wife and I love Oscar's. The staff has always been welcoming and responsive with everything. One of our favorite spots!

Went here for lunch on a Saturday and was blown away by both the food and service. Our server, Kelvin, was personable, professional and excellent in every way. Our food was delicious - fried green tomatoes, shrimp and grits, and braised short ribs. Parents had the seafood pasta and the quiche of the day. They enjoyed them as well. Kelvin was able to semi-customize my sons kids meal to get him exactly what he wanted and he really made our meal that much better. If you have any doubts about trying this place, throw them in the trash! We'll definitely be back. read more

Oscars is lovely. The food is incredible. I need to go back as I heard the dessert is all homemade from scratch. The portions were so large, we were full and couldn't fit dessert in our bellies! My husband and I went for dinner. Service was fast and precise. The waitress we had was knowledgeable. Ambiance is great for business and pleasure! read more

Always a pleasure to eat here, the restaurant is always very clean and offers an excellent selection of dishes with excellent service.

A favorite local restaurant. Make a reservation because it gets really busy I always get the seafood burrito. It's really fresh and big pieces is shrimp, crab and scallops. Buttery sauce and no place has anything like it. My friend got the chicken Oscar and another got the salmon. Both said theirs was perfect. We also got fried green tomatoes And grouper bites for appetizers. They were hot and fresh Our waiter, Tom , was amazing. Prompt and helpful. He knew the menu and how busy the kitchen was. That helped us decide when to order after drinks The place was very busy on this Saturday night but we could still talk and hear each other Very few places have white table coverings anymore. That's a nice tradition They are adding new outdoor area. Nice! My favorite restaurant in the area read more

Being new to the area I had to try this restaurant the Local speak highly of it and I was not disappointed the food was exceptional the secret scallops in the ribeye where my favorite from this visit five stars is not enough to write this restaurant highly recommend!

Excellent food - definitely In the top 3 places in Summerville for fine dining. The shrimp and grits are very good read more

Old school rat pack vibe with dark wood and amazing food. Bar area awesomeness. Great service

From talking with locals this was the go-to place for a long time. My 1st visit was good but the food has been quite hit or miss since. The service is usually good. The place could use an update. It is still usually quite bust and they do take reservations. I usually order from the bar menu and the burger is good. read more

We called ahead to be sure we would be ok with getting in, we have twin 1 1/2 year old boys. We're told no problem. Had a short wait and were seated in the bar area. A bit noisy but plenty of room. Service was great and same great food. Had a variety of things from shrimp and grits to my favorite, the seafood burrito. Very good proportions with enough left over for takeout for lunch the next day. Wished we saved room for dessert but just couldn't stuff it in. Been going here since we moved here in 2006 and always had a great experience. read more

Absolutely love this place! Service is excellent. Nice atmosphere. Everything on the menu is delicious!

Good food but not at the point of a fine diner. Lovely family dinner place? Sure. But having a dress code for a restaurant that serves overpriced comfort food? I don't think so. read more

This was our first visit to Oscar's. I made a reservation for two on a Saturday evening at 8:30. We were promptly seated at our table shortly after we arrived. Tables have white table cloths and cloth napkins. The lighting is dimmed (a little too much for this girl with night blindness) and has a nice ambiance for a dinner date. Our server Cara came to our table to ask for our drink order and brought them back quickly. I had a glass of chardonnay and my husband chose a bourbon and coke. We decided on the fried calamari for an app. It's served with a marinara and sweet chili sauce and there are banana peppers, parmesan, and feta cheese scattered over the calamari. This is a large portion, so plan to share. The calamari were cooked perfectly and while both sauces were good, we were partial to the sweet chili sauce! I LOVED the salmon dish. The fish was cooked a perfect medium and pared so well with the spinach! The fried oysters are an added delight to the dish as well. My husband enjoyed the seafood burrito so much. He loved the cheesy sauce and the ample portion of seafood tucked inside the burrito. We couldn't have asked for a better meal and Cara was so attentive to us, which made for a very enjoyable dinner. My only regret is we didn't save room for one of their deserts! read more

Sometimes I want a place without all the hustle and bustle, away from loud bar crowds, loud music, crying babies and the uncertainty of the outcome of a restaurant meal. At Oscar's the service, food, and ambience all meet my expectations every time I go - soothing music, plenty of elbow room, and just enough privacy. I've never had a bad experience, and I don't hesitate to take important visitors to Oscars for a predicable, relaxed and enjoyable experience. It's what dining should be. Don't be afraid to pick something on the menu just because you've never had it! From Prime Rib to Shrimp & Grits, it all hits the mark deliciously. William L. read more

Quaint little family run restaurant with a nice food and drink selection. This restaurant has multiple rooms, the main dining is more formal and quiet. They gave crayons and a kids menu to color, but I didn't see too many kids while we were there. We ordered the chicken and bacon brioche, as well as the fresh turkey on a croissant and the children's hamburger. All were cooked nicely with nice presentation and tasty. Moderate lunch size portions, definitely not for a hearty eater. Loved that they offered fresh fruit as a side option, though I wish there wasn't an upcharge for it. We also ordered the chocolate bunt cake with homemade coffee chip ice cream. Very pretty presentation. Very nice taste. Overall good food and incredibly friendly service. Thank you Oscars! read more

Amazing food! Absolutely delicious! The desserts are incredible. Service is great. Very accommodating, you can substitute if you wish.

Stopped for dinner and the food here is super delicious. The fried oysters are my favorite so far!

Had the Charleston crab dip, a cup of she crab soup, and seafood burrito. Amazing food, soup with just a hint of sherry but very good. Scallops great: my preferred way to eat them is pan seared with a nice crust but these were perfectly cooked in the burrito. Was seated near the bar next to some locals who were enjoying themselves, so it was a little loud there but they have plenty of space outside if you are going with the kids. Would definitely return read more

Saw the rave reviews and had to see for myself if the hype was real. I have to say the ratings are well deserved. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. I asked the waiter what house drinks they had and he asked me what my favorite drink was. When i replied Crown Royal he askedme if i trusted him. We had just met, but he seemed confident he knew a drink i would like so i said yes. Sure enough he brought me a house drink made with Crown and fruit juices that i thoroughly enjoyed. On to the meal...she crab soup, scallop apetizers, the highly lauded shrimp and grits and the seafood burrito were ordered at our table and were all very well cooked, well seasoned and delicious! As a seafood lover, and self-proclaimed seafood expert, I highly recommend Oscars. I will be back soon with some of my Island relatives to share the awesome experience. read more

Oscar's a long standing Summerville institution. They continue to provide great food and service.

Great low country food with exceptional service...we absolutely loved it! After four decades they definitely have things figured out.

Had heard great things about Oscar's. Finally had dinner there and it was so underwhelming. My filet was ok but not seared which I would expect from a steakhouse. My baked potato seemed old and reheated. My husbands "short ribs" where more likened more to pot roast and mashed potatoes were watery and thin. Disappointed to say the least. read more

Went without reservations on a Saturday evening and was accommodated in the bar area! It was awesome, food was so good I forgot to get pictures! The caramel apple martini was amazing too! read more

Oscar's never disappoints from their weekend prime rib to their buttermilk fried chicken the staff is top shelf. This is a great place for lunch or dinner you can never go wrong coming here. read more

I had a lot of expectations because I read it was one of the oldest and most traditional foods in the town. The food was good but not fabulous. Usually, when I eat pasta, I am satisfied, but there wasn't enough, and I just had too few shrimp. read more

We went here a few weeks ago for a holiday party. The service was good, but the food was very mediocre. We had 4 options to choose from on our special menu, and I had the salmon and my husband had the steak. Our meals also came with bread, salad, and a peanut butter cheesecake slice for dessert. The bread was good, but the salad was nothing too special. The waiter also brought us large bowls of ranch dressing for the table, but I asked for the vinaigrette- which was much better. We ended up having tons of ranch left over, I really wish they just offered to bring out the dressings we wanted instead of having to ask. My salmon was really good! It had a nice sauce on it, and it also came with roasted potatoes and broccoli. The broccoli didn't have much of a taste or seasoning, but the potatoes and fish were good. My husband's steak, on the other hand, while ordered medium rare... was definitely well done. In fact, the menu stated the steak would be prepared medium, but everyone at the table who ordered it had a well done steak! Since Oscar's had another holiday function going on and we were all at a party, no one wanted to keep others waiting by sending the food back. But cooking a steak is one of the most basic things at a restaurant, I don't see how they can mess that up. The peanut butter cheesecake was delicious :). Very rich and I couldn't finish it all, so I took some home and it was good the next day. I also had a candy cane martini, which was the drink of the month. It was a good cocktail, but pretty small. Oscar's isn't a bad place to host a holiday event. The service was good and the waiter took care of us, but the food is not worth a trip back for us, from West Ashley. read more

We used Oscar's as a place to take our daughter and family following her college graduation on Saturday. It was the perfect place to celebrate. Our waiter Tom was very attentive and made this a special meal. The food was spectacular!!! Almost everyone had a different dish -- salmon salad, Reuben, shrimp and scallops, flounder sandwich, shrimp and grits, fruti Del Mar, braised beef, and mahi mahi blue plate special. There wasn't a bite left. The portions were more than plenty. Desserts, soups, and salads were on point. The service, the food, the atmosphere just added to her special day! We will definitely be back! read more
