Great burgers. Great beer. Need I say more. Their soup is good too! And their ranch is amazing. Highly recommend.

Oscar’s Burgers are some of the very best in the area. Juicy, great crisp. Best onion rings are crisp and flavorful ( each batch is made to order). Vegetarians - try their hearty homemade bean burger. I love it and order it often. Chef was inspired on this one. Servers and staff are AlWAYS friendly. Live music in the bar area. Kid friendly dining room. Consistently delish food.

Oscars was a fantastic experience! The staff is incredibly friendly, making it an easy and welcoming spot to meet up with my best friend for a workday lunch. I’ve brought both my toddler and my 3-month-old here, and they’ve always been wonderfully accommodating. It’s a great spot for a casual, stress-free meal, whether you’re dining solo, with friends, or with little ones in tow. And I have to give a special shoutout to the pita-wrapped buffalo chicken sandwich—absolute perfection! Seriously, it’s tits—so freaking good!

Great place with a vibrant atmosphere, and excellent bar area for watching a game. Had the Grilled Shrimp Poke Bowl and it was very good, recommended! I must say however, and many restaurants do this so it’s not directed specifically at Oscars… there is no reason to leave the tail on the shrimps such that you have to handle each shrimp in order to take the tail off. It just makes no culinary sense. Everyone knows it’s a shrimp, the damn tail does not need to be left on!

This is a nice casual casual restaurant with good parking. its very clean nicely, decorated, the bathrooms are clean and smell good. Our food was delicious, service was good and I do recommend this place

Good food, a pleasant environment, and excellent service! I think our waiter wanted to have a date with some of the beautiful women I dined with the other night, so he came back to check on us often! I came to watch the Ravens game and eat some good bar food! I had some old bay wings and a bowl of crab soup. I didn't realize they only had Cream of Crab until it arrived. I was expecting vegetable crab soup, as I would have ordered the French Onion Soup instead. I should have read the menu better. In any case, the Cream of Crab was delicious and filled with delightful lump crab meat. Also, I had Santa's hat drink, which was nice and sweet, with a little bite to it. I considered the dessert, the mega chocolate cake, but opted not to get dessert. As I walked out, I was sorry to see it being served at a table, and it looked amazing! Overall, it is a nice place to eat and watch a game. The bar area has many tables; the restaurant's front has many tables and is a lovely dining area.

We really enjoyed our visit! We were seated immediately with out a reservation on Valentines day in a nice sized booth. Our server was kind and helpful. We started with a big pretzel, very good. I got the monte Cristo and it was fantastic! Crispy and cheesy. The onion rings were okay- not my favorite choice of onion- could see the purple. My husband got the Buffalo chicken and it came on the cool and yummy bead. The fries were really good, not crispy but gushy fries and salty. My husband's crab soup was LOADED with delicious crab but it may have sat waiting to go out for a minute because it was not hot anymore when it came out- But it was a busy holiday. We will be back!

I seriously can't deal with the no BREWED sweet tea in like the whole state so I can't hold that against them. Apparently it's just a thing. However our waitress(super red/pink hair) was super fast, got our order right, very attentive and nice. The food came out quickly. We had the fried pickles in old bay seasoning and OMG I will never have them any other way, with a spicy ranch dip. Had me drooling. I had the pulled pork sandwich and I want to say my husband had a Reuben? I don't know, I was to busy enjoying my meal. I looked up the reviews and then even got a recommendation from a local store owner down the street. Wish we would have fit in dessert:(
