Had dinner this past Saturday night. It has been a couple of years since we had dined at Oscar's, since we no longer live in the Summerville area it is a bit of a drive, but it was as good as ever. The dining room was full so they worked us in for a table in the bar area. The... More

Oscar's is a very cozy restaurant. It has a "downtown-ish" atmosphere and the service was awesome. The waiter was very attentive and knowledgable. Our drinks were never empty, the wine special was delicious and great value! We had the calamari, seared salmon and the ribeye. The calamari was good (not a fan of the feta cheese with it but the...

We could not find a hotel in Charleston so stayed in Summervile 20 miles away. Oscar's is local and as good as a meal in Charleston. Shrimp and Grits are worth the trip. Friendly, attentive staff even on a busy Saturday night.

I attended a wedding reception at this restaurant and the venue, food, and service was superb. Normally when you go to a wedding you don't have the highest expectations for the dinner service--it's difficult for even the most skilled of caterers to prepare hot, delicious meals for a huge crowd of people. Oscar's nailed it! Everything on the menu was... More

I love to visit local restaurants and try new things. I was on business and decide to try Oscar's. I had the She Crab Soup, Caesar Salad and Shrimp and Grits. The soup and entree were delicious. The salad was good but on the small side, as far as a serving. Hostess was pleasant and greeted my in a friendly... More

Went to Oscars with friends and we had the calamari appetizer and it was very tasty with a different twist, surprisingly very good. Had steaks with different sauces also very delicious, Oscar's signature sauce lived up to the waiters description, it is certainly a very recommendable place to go to. Our waiter was outstanding and we had a wonderful time... More

We went here because of TA review and also recommended by our hostess at the inn we stayed at. We weren't disappointed. It had a pub-like atmosphere, perfect food after a long day of traveling and very friendly, accomodating wait staff.

My husband and I had dinner there over the weekend. Oscar's was recommended to us by friends. We were seated at a very pleasant booth which was roomy and comfortable. Our waiter was professional and attentive, but not obtrusive. We enjoyed fantastic chef's special of the day appetizers - a steamed mussels dish and a tuna tartare. Both were very... More

I've eaten here quite a few times over the years and my assessment remains the same. It's not in the same league as the downtown restaurants. Oscar's does deliver some very nice dishes but not of the caliber you would expect from a major league dining place. And, therefore, over priced especially considering portion size and sides. My most recent... More

Oscar's in Summerville, SC is on a little side street that you may miss when driving by but when you get there it's more then worth it. The decor inside provides a little bit of Scottish history and let me be honest that was a little bit of a head scratcher for me. I unfortunately hail from Upstate NY but... More
