The fries weren't as fresh as I'd hoped, and the buttermilk crispy chicken was just okay. However, a friend of mine ordered the shrimp and grits, and she enjoyed it. I also ordered the crème brûlée, but I would have preferred it warm instead of cold. On a positive note, the service was good, and the staff were very friendly.

It truly reminded me of the charming diners depicted in movies from the 1940s. You can't go wrong with Oscar's in Summerville. The service was exceptional.

The steaks were of low quality, the dishes felt cheap, the service was lackluster, and everything was overpriced. Perhaps things have improved since then, but our experience was so disappointing that we decided not to return.

The food was really great and the server was very friendly and helpful when our party had questions about the menu. The only reason I am putting four start instead of five is because we had to wait at the bar until our table was ready, which was fine as we didn't have a reservation but the barmaid was a bit sour and cold which was very off putting. But I definitely recommend giving this place a visit for the fantastic food!

That’s the only thing I wouldn’t order again. For our main courses, I had the crab cakes, which were loaded with crab and delicious. However, my only complaint was that the sides were quite small compared to those served with other meals. My mom’s scallops came with generous portions of mashed potatoes and vegetables, while my meal featured only a small amount of spinach and creamed cauliflower for presentation. I would have appreciated equal-sized portions of veggies since I really enjoyed the spinach. Another concern was the credit card processing fee, which we only discovered when we received the bill. If you plan to pay with a credit card, be prepared for this significant extra charge. Since I was covering the entire group, I didn’t have hundreds of dollars in cash on me. It’s a bit disappointing to encounter such a charge at a nice restaurant, especially when spending a considerable amount, which I haven’t experienced at other upscale places. Overall, I would recommend Oscar's, but I can't quite give it a full five-star rating due to the areas that could use improvement in order to compete with other fine dining establishments.
