8 Essential Restaurants in Summerville

"Oscar’s is an upscale casual dining establishment that’s been hiding in plain sight for over 35 years. Whether celebrating a birthday or some other special occasion, Oscar’s gives an intimate feeling not found anywhere else in Summerville. The menu consist of traditional Southern staples like shrimp and grits and fried green tomatoes, but there’s also unique takes on Southern standbys like smoked gouda grit cakes and cold Charleston crab dip." - KJ Kearney

The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, perfect for a relaxed dinner. Even without a reservation, we only waited about 25 minutes for a table for two, which was not bad at all. Our waitress was very helpful in walking us through the menu since it was our first visit. She was truly a delight. The food was absolutely amazing, full of flavor and comfort. We will definitely be coming back.

Elegant fine dining experience. Delicious steaks and seafood dishes. Braised short rib was exquisite. Reservation recommended for the weekend. Staff are personable and attentive. Definitely will go back.

Just had a delightful evening at Oscar's here in Summerville, and I'm already itching to go back! From the moment we stepped inside, the atmosphere was just perfect – cozy and inviting, elegantly relaxed. The service was truly top-notch; our server was attentive, friendly, and made us feel right at home. Now, let's talk about the stars of the show (mostly!): the food. Every dish that graced our table was an absolute delight. Seriously, each bite was a burst of deliciousness! And the best part? The prices were incredibly reasonable for the quality and quantity of food we enjoyed. It's always a win when you leave feeling satisfied without breaking the bank. However, and this is where I have to be honest, the fried green tomatoes were a bit of a letdown. While I adore this Southern staple, the ones at Oscar's unfortunately didn't quite hit the mark. They were a little soggy, the breading lacked flavor, and the accompanying sauce wasn't quite right. It's a shame because everything else was so fantastic. The Verdict: Despite the minor hiccup with the fried green tomatoes, Oscars is a gem! The delicious food, exceptional service, and wonderful atmosphere make it a must-try in Summerville. We'll definitely be returning to savor more of their fantastic menu. Rating: 4 out of 5 stars

Had a fabulous Father’s Day dinner with my daughter, granddaughter, and son-in-law from service to food it was great! One thing I want to emphasize is Oscar’s customer service and their district manager, April, will get it right. I rarely eat beef and the braised beef was calling my name. The best beef dish ever! Fall apart tender and the combo with mushrooms, mashed potatoes, greens, and crispy onions was mouth watering. My daughter had the prime rib which she devoured and her and the baby loved the mac and cheese too! She crab soup excellent. Grouper bites were delicious. And to top it off, Tre (not sure how he spells his name) gave us excellent service! We will be back!

Oscar's never disappoints. I had the scallops for the first time. Boy, was I surprised with the portion, which was more than plenty. They were absolutely delicious. The risotto and zucchini were too! Service was quick, and the atmosphere was perfect.

This was our second visit. The first one was brunch buffet and was non remarkable , but this time they redeemed themselves. Our first visit was for a Mother’s Day brunch, this time we went for dinner. The meals were great. We got the short rib and a NY strip steak, both were cooked perfectly! The Gouda mac and cheese was fantastic, Caesar salad was flavorful and the bread on the tables was soft and delicious. I also got the risotto, which was alright, and the broccoli was unseasoned- but overall, the star of the show was the short rib, which was worth the visit on it own. Oscar’s proved that they’re a local staple, as long as you’re there for what they do every day, great menu items served by friendly staff!

We came in last night and had Nicole as our server - she was AMAZING! We had our two kids with us and she was so patient and friendly. She took family photos for us, as extra attentive, all around just so great. The food (especially the prime rib) was 10/10. Can’t wait to come back. Thanks Nicole for a great evening!

Got an Oscar style filet. Filet had zero flavor. Crab was pathetic looking. No hollandaise. Husband got prime rib, which looked AMAZING, but was really tough. Did not taste good. Mashed potatoes were terrible. Zero garlic. A vampire could eat them, no problem. Everything seemed very rushed. Tiffany made zero eye contact. Seemed very passive aggressive. But service was quick for the most part.

Food was excellent in taste, however it was served lukewarm (both persons). They had corporate parties and the place was full, but we felt forgotten, waiting abt an hour for our food. Manager was super, offering to reheat, but we didn't want to wait longer. Ambiance is manly and super. But probably won't return. The owners response to my post was so positive, we did go back, for a lunch. The waiter, Cody was super, and the food was first rate. What a lunch!

The food, the service and the ambiance. Oscar's is a very popular place. Locals love it there. The restaurant has been in Summerville for quite a few years. I would recommend this restaurant.

Oscar's did not disappoint. Our food and service was great. We started with the bruschetta which was good but just need a little salt. We all enjoyed the she crab soup and definitely recommend getting the bowl! Four our main meal, my mom and cousin had the steak salad and they both enjoyed it and I ordered the fruita Del mar. I was expecting a very light garlic lemon sauce, but instead it was more like a Alfredo sauce. It was DELICIOUS, but very fully and heavy. My seafood tasted fresh and we would definitely be back. The ambiance was nice inside and it looks like it lives up outside at times.

Haven't been to this old classic in decades, but when I was growing up it was known as "the fancy restaurant". It was definitely showing its age on first approach but was pretty packed when we took MIL for a family "Fakesgiving" last Thursday. We had a reservation, but the parking situation was frustratingly insufficient. Hubby had to drop us ladies at the door and cruise around looking for parking. We joined the rest of the family and were seated in the addition to the left of check-in. It felt like a church rec room. It appeared to be a deck addition that was walled off to turn it into a room. It was very utilitarian and completely lacking in ambiance. My childhood impression of this as a "fancy" place was dispelled. Our waiter, Calvin, was charming and spectacular. He was attentive without hovering, appearing with perfect timing to top up tea or water. We ordered appetizers for the table and enjoyed our beverages. The fried calamari was good, lightly breaded and not rubbery. The grouper bites were delicate and flaky. The cold crab dip was meaty but underwhelming, with the crab flavor lost under the paprika. It would have been better warm. The legendary she-crab soup was nice and meaty, loaded with sherry and worth the fuss. My shrimp and grits were fair, with plenty of big beautiful shrimp. The grits were white and well-cooked, if a bit lacking in their own flavor. The shrimp and sauce were the stars. The mushrooms had no business being there and found themselves adorning hubby's steak, where they fit much better. The one that slipped by was an unwelcome and off-putting bite, not working with the shrimp. Everyone enjoyed their entrees including the baked scallops, the salmon, the fried combo, and the ribeye. We were too full for dessert, so I missed out on trying the Bananas Oscar. The service and food are excellent and good. The prices are fair for the quality of food, and you can't get a 6 dollar cup of better she-crab soup anywhere. If you want ambiance, make sure they are seating you in the dining room proper. I didn't get to see inside, but it can't be worse than the addition. Might try again with just the hubby, and save room for dessert!

We stopped in mid-afternoon for a late lunch, and sat outside in Oscar's covered patio bar, a very pleasant choice. Our server was personable and attentive without being interruptive, adding to our relaxed experience. I ordered Seafood Provençal, my wife had the She Crab soup and a Salmon salad. My shrimp and scallops were perfectly cooked, as was the salmon. The Provençal sauce was fresh and full of flavor to complement the seafood. My wife is hooked on She Crab soup, and loved Oscar's version. Based on today, I'll keep Oscar's on my will-visit-again list.

This is a very middle of the road steakhouse, on par with an Outback or a Longhorns, and priced about the same as well. Started with oysters in the half shell which were rather flavorless but inoffensive, and crab. The crab was quite clearly pre-cooked and was cool when it came out, and was pre-cracked. That was a bit of a surprise to me, never in my life have I ordered crab at a restaurant and had it pre-cooked. I had the surf-n-turf special, the filet was cooked properly but it was pretty tough for a filet. The smoked gouda mac & cheese had that ultra smooth consistency that screams "factory food"'. Really, most of the meal really felt/tasted like Sysco or something along those lines, more than a real deal in-house-made meal. There were a bunch of minor little service issues, like no fresh pepper offered for my steak, even though the fresh pepper grinder was right next to my table, and a glass for my mocktail being left on the table almost the entire meal even after telling the server I was done with it and not getting a refill. I also need to call out - and this isn't directly Oscar's fault - but for a restaurant that bills itself as a very upscale restaurant, the clientele comes there dressed like they are going to Burger King. If you think this is an alternative to Hall's, Oak, Burwell's, etc., it is not. The good news is, the price is not unreasonable for what it is, an alternative to Longhorns or Outback. J.Ja

First time trying Oscars and literally got one of everything basically. Some are not included I got the jumbo scallops and alligator bites appetizer to-go both were good. This is a casual dining restaurant with the option for outside seating with and the service was nice and attentive. But the food was good I got the crab cake entree with the creamy garlic risotto and the cheesy Gouda macaroni. Definitely place to try

One of our favorite restaurants in the greater Charleston area! -- Our latest visit to Oscar's was during the holidays, and we enjoyed the most delicious seafood pasta with white cream sauce I've ever had. And, of course, we couldn't leave without ordering the Banana Xango topped with caramel drizzle. I'm not usually a fan of bananas in desserts, but Oscar's Banana Xango is definitely an exception!

My wife and are new to SC and have been enjoying our dinning experience at many of the local eateries, inclusive of the Ice House, La Rustica, Laura, Page's Ocra Grill, etc. All of our dining choices have been sourced via recommendations from the local residents of Summerville and Oscar's was at the top of the list of fine restaurants to try. So it was with great anticipation that we decided to try Oscars late this afternoon. We were celebrating paying off our new SC home and were looking to party like retired rock stars (not), lol. Upon arriving, we were whisked to the bar side tables and were told to seat ourselves. Upon self-seating , we were given one menu and were promised another which took another 10 minutes. While waiting for the menu, we ordered our drinks, a glass of Moscato ($13) and a Miller Lite ($3). When the drinks (after a significant wait) were served, the pour of the Moscato was absolutely embarrassing. Literally it was about an eighth of a glass! When we advised the waitress of the paucity of the pour, she advised that only the bartender does the pouring of the wine and therefore there was nothing she could do about it. Oh well, the wine was finished in 2 sips, so $13 down the drain and buying a second eight of a glass for $13 was not an option. For an appetizer we decided to split the shrimp cocktail and it was a huge disappointment. The shrimp were tiny and unappealing, as was the little glass they were served in. Additionally, the presentation was unappetizing and had almost zero cocktail sauce. Instead, the shrimp were stuffed with a soggy salad into this tiny glass. #NotGood I guess they thought a tiny glass would make the shrimp look BIGGER, lol. For the entree, my wife order their seafood stuffed burrito and I ordered their Jamaican Jerk Maui. The Maui had to be immediately returned as it was a stale, over cooked, minuscule serving of fish. The Maui was less than a quarter inch thick and about 3 inches in length. A total disappointment. The Burrito was a larger portion, however, it was on the bland side of the ledger. As a replacement for my initial entree, I ordered the fried chicken breast with two sides. By the time the entree arrived, my wife had finished eating and our celebratory meal had been ruined. This was also a huge disappointment as the chicken breast were so tiny that it would be more suited to a children's meal. The sides of mashed potatoes and broccoli were pedestrian at best. As a result of the above, we asked to chat with the manager. Tony was a nice gentleman and he bought my wife another drink. Tony advised that he would address the issues we encountered with the staff to ensure that it doesn't happen again. So, we left very disillusioned with this establishment and hope that they fix these inadequacies.

We visitors on Friday, October 25th. The ambience is nice and comfortable with vintage decor. The service was on point with our server and trainee providing professionals and friendly with attention to detail service. The food was good, flavorful & cooked to order. Parking is a bit cramped but it works. The place is busy and prices were fair. We would visit again.

We went last night for "date night" and our first time at the restaurant. We have a true gluten allergy and Mike - our server - gave us great recommendations for each course. His steak was cooked perfectly and my shrimp and crab dish was excellent. The garlic risotto was spot on as was the asparagus - with a nice crunch. The martinis were so good we went to the lounge after for another round. Definitely a special occasion restaurant, and we do want to come back to for lunch!

Ok we had reservations and was glad we did as the place filled up quickly. We were immediately greeted and shown to our table. Our server exceeded our expectations. Since it was our first time there, our server walked us through not just the regular menu but their special Thursday menu. He suggested the calamari to start. I didn't get a pic right away because my husband dove right in. It was served with marinara and sweet chili and it was cooked to perfection. I got the baked stuff shrimp with garlic risotto and mixed veg and it was outstanding. I only was able to eat 1/2. Made for great leftovers! My husband said his steak was cooked to a perfect med-rare and he enjoyed every bite. We wanted to get dessert as we were celebrating his military retirement but we were beyond full. Prices were reasonable and the place was clean and comfortable. How have we lived here 6 years and never been? Looking forward to going back and trying more!

This establishment was beautiful inside and out, our server, Gina, was a delight, and the food was so good that I didn't even get a photo. Prices are really reasonable especially considering the quality of the dishes, the service, and the beautiful ambiance. PS We popped in on a whim and were definitely underdressed in my ripped jeans and Hubby's shorts but no one made us feel weird about it. Highly recommend!

Took my parents to Oscars for their last night in town visiting. They said it was their favorite meal. Honestly, one of the best crabcakes I've had in CHS. Stepmom loved the fried chicken, simple yet packed with flavor. Had to save room for the peanut butter pie too of course. Interesting place with 3 different atmospheres all under one roof. Good diverse menu. Something for everyone.

A charming little restaurant we stumbled upon in Charlestown. We lucked out & got there in time for a 5pm dinner date. My boyfriend & I had a bowl of SHE CRAB SOUP, personally, I'm not a fan of she soup after sampling. Entree was Salmon for me & my man (he'snot certain) refer to photos. Overall, a romantic little seafood steak restaurant. Has been in business over 50 yrs so I thought "we really can't go wrong" it was worth it. Just not a fan of the she crab soup at all. I'd suggest reservations.

The food and service are great ! We usually eat lunches there, last time was New Years Eve. Love the French Dip and She-Crab soup. Nice cozy restaurant, and these days I pay with credit card but tip the waitstaff cash everywhere. On the credit card slip I write cash on the tip line, so only the staff know what I tipped them. I'm a generous tipper and this keeps Uncle Sam out of it. Really enjoy Oscar's !

My husband and I have been going to Oscar's for Christmas Eve for the past few years. It is delicious, plus we don't have to cook and clean up for just two people! We also love to bring people who visit us from out of town! Oscar's has the best shrimp and grits in all of Charleston. They are as good as my mom's homemade shrimp and grits!

We love everything about Oscar's, and we have for more than 20 years. It's our go to celebration spot in Summerville for family birthdays. It's our go to spot to celebrate making it through the work week. It's consistently great in all areas -- great tasting food, varied menu with something for every palate, attentive service, slightly more intimate booths for our frequent party of two, and also adeptly handling our party of 16. Our favorites are the steak with herb butter, she crab soup, seafood Provençal, Scottish salmon, and all of the desserts.

Stopped by Oscar's for my birthday lunch. And loved everything about the establishment! It was early, so I was able to get a seat pretty easily. The inside was beautiful, but chose to sit outside because it was a lovely day. The hostess was very gracious and when I came back to ask where the bathroom was, she personally escorted me there. Our lunch was amazing and they have, great brunch mimosa and bloody Mary specials. The food was tasty but the bananas foster was out of this world!! At the conclusion of the meal, they gave me a little chocolate and a happy birthday card, super classy. Highly recommend for just an amazing quality place to eat.

We came to Oscar's to celebrate my parents 50th anniversary. We called in advance in order to book for a large group. The tables were ready for us when we arrived. Service was great the entire way through. We got multiple appetizers, picking ones that would be easiest to share - crawfish, cheese curds, brussel sprouts, etc. All appetizers were great. I also started with a sangria, but it was probably the furthest thing away from a sangria - it tasted more like a mixed fruity drink with sprite as it had so much fizz, and it was served in a standard glass. It is the only thing I would not get again. For our meals, I got the crab cakes and my husband got the seafood burrito, which he absolutely loved. My crab cakes were full of crab, and good. My only gripe is that the sides were so little in comparison to others. My mom got a lot of mashed potatoes and vegetables with her scallops, and what I got was more for presentation of spinach and creamed cauliflower. I wish I had equal size portions of vegetables as the spinach was definitely enjoyable. My last gripe, is the credit card charge. The credit card charge is not known until they give you the bill. If you pay by credit card, expect this large addition. I paid for our entire group, so I was not going to have hundreds of dollars of cash on me. It's a disappointment to see at a nice restaurant, when I'm spending so much, they feel the need to add an additional charge, which I have not seen, at least yet, at other nicer restaurants. Overall, I would recommend Oscar's, but I can't quite give them 5 stars as there are improvements that can be made to put them up there in line with other upscale restaurants.

What could improve..... EVERYTHING. The reviews we read talked about how nice and pricey this place was. The menu looked basic, and good. So we went. We were only wearing polos, and shorts. Hoping that would be fine. Pulled in the parking lot...we felt overdressed. You have to stand/sit in a very cramped entryway to wait for your table (think Applebees from the 90's. Women in stirrup stretch pants, feeling all fancy, men with beer guts running outside to get a cigarette. The hostess was basically dressed for a bad yoga class. Her pants pulled so high that everything was on show...and that's not something you need to see before eating. Restaurant is clean. Waiter was decent...a little too forward on the upsell(on EVERYTHING) Food & Drink. White Sangria=NO. Cheap white wine with some cut up fruit. Not even close. Did not drink it. Ordered sweet tea (bojangles is better) Fried Green Tomatoes. Okay. Not great, but then it isn't tomato season. Baked cheesy Mushrooms. Let me just give you the recipe. Go to the store. Get a basic tub of mushrooms, throw them in a small dish. Cover them in jack cheese. Bake. DO NOT WORRY ABOUT SEASONING....save that for the main course. Filet Mignon, Lima beans, goat cheese mashed potatoes. Or more correctly... a salt lick, with some Lima beans added into a soup of salt. And mashed potatoes that ain't never met a goat. Braised short ribs. With potatoes, collard greens, and 'crispy onions'. Or... a sauced salt lick, with some of the WORST greens I have ever tasted. Same basic mashed potatoes. The soggiest crispy onions I ever done did see. The waiter was determined to get us to get dessert. So we got the apple cheesecake to go. THAT was worth it. It was good. We went home and ate pizza and had cheesecake. Never again.

Have to make Reservations which was very easy process. The place parking was tricky but they have a lot in the rear. Beautiful seating for all groups and the place ambiance is very tasteful. Service was above standard and the food was portioned perfectly and delicious . True 5 star for a first date and great evening out

Fantastic! 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!

First of all, my wife prefers a booth and I usually have to ask for one. We got a booth without asking so that was a great way to start! We've been to Halls and ordered filet mignon and they were too rare so when we ordered filet mignon here we both got medium well. They were perfect. Sides were perfect and we were too full for desert. It was busy but it was like we were all alone in our booth. Service was top notch and we tipped accordingly. We will return and recommend to anyone that listens.

While visiting Charleston for a friends wedding weekend my husband and I found a night to ourselves and couldn't eat any more BBQ so Yelp helped us find Oscars with its many 4 and 5 star reviews. The lack of available reservations made us hope we were picking the right place. Called at 3pm not hopeful they would have anything but they ended up being able to seat us at 8:15 so we took it (despite being slightly later than we would have liked.) We arrived to an adorable building that looked like an old house with both outdoor seating and indoor seating that seemed to be one side with a bar that was more casual dining but also a more formal dining room. Our server Charlie was fantastic and went over all the specials and helped make recommendations since it was our first visit. Prime rib cooked perfectly, an enormous wedge salad with creamy tangy bleu cheese, scallop appetizer was melt in your mouth and consisted of 4 large scallops but the only item that wouldn't get 5 stars in my eyes was the crab soup. The texture seemed a little off but the flavor was definitely there. Overall we would definitely come back to Oscars on another trip to try the many other menu items we had to pass up.

Great menu variety! Definitely something for everyone! I made reservations for when I had family visiting from Wilmington. Our waitress was very kind and knowledgeable. The food was amazing! I had the fried chicken with mashed potatoes and Mac n cheese and my husband had the grilled chicken sandwich with fries. Everything was served warm and came out within a timely fashion. Would definitely be a nice place for a small work or family function.

Extremely slow service tonight. An hour to get our entrees. Waitress and Manager both claimed the kitchen was very busy, sorry that's not my problem, fix it. If you take our reservation be prepared to serve us in a timely manner. Ruined our night out. Extremely disappointed and expect more from Oscar's, there are many dining options in Summerville

The food,ambiance.and service were excellent. The smell crock of onion soup was exceptionally prepared. The boss had the house salad $8 that she liked very much. I had the grilled Maui $18 and the warden had the chicken Oscar. The professional server was a refreshing touch. Overall a good place and was crowed for an early lunch. Worth trying. I recommend asking for Kelvin's dining room. The new owners haven't made any changes to the food and staff.

First time here visiting from DC. The food/drinks were great. However towards the end April the General Manager comes over to the table and states "a group of old ladies said that they couldn't concentrate on their food from all the loud noise coming for the back." One thing to note is that it's after 9PM, hardly anyone in the restaurant, 2 groups of African American customers "sitting in the back", and 2 white ladies sitting mid-way through the restaurant. Once April stated that we asked for the check she walked away and never came back out. Now, not once did April communicate that same concern to the other group of black people. We left feeling disrespected and disappointed. I will never come back to this place.

Tom was such a great server! Loved his recommendation of the yummy Pinot my mom and I shared over lunch! Can't come to the south without having she crab soup!! It was so creamy and had a ton of crab in it - no skimping here folks.. The Frutti di mar was excellent! There scallops were cooked perfectly too - sometimes those tricky buggers come out raw (yes Gordon Ramsey voice was meant with that) - And to top the entire lunch off we had the cream cheese wrapped in a flour tortilla deep fried and then topped with Carmel and cinnamon ice cream - hello chefs kiss - Went home with a food coma but will absolutely make Oscar's another must eat at when I come to Summerville!!

This updated review is years too late. I have eaten at Oscars at least a dozen times in the last few years. I was hesitant to go after my previous experience, but a friend gave us a gift card and my wife weren't going to waste it. I am so glad I did. Oscars totally redeemed theirselves. I haven't had anything short of a great meal since. I've tried specials. I've tried regular menu items. Everything is great. My daughter chooses Oscars for special occasions and will choose Oscars over another well-regarded steakhouse in town (H@ll$ Ch0ph0u$e) Typically easy to get a reservation (even last minute) If not available, it's never a long wait to eat in the bar section. The wait staff has been friendly and knowledgeable every time.

Oscar's never disappoints! The food and service is always on point. Very well priced. My favorite is their shortrib dinner!

Food was authentic and tasty. Service was some of the best I've had since coming to Charleston 5 years ago. Ambiance was very nice yet not gaudy.

Came in for a 3pm late lunch. We both had the shrimp and grits and it was delicious. Lots perfectly cooked shrimp, cheese, grits of course and pork belly. Service excellent. Manager came by to make sure everything was good. Really enjoyed Oscar's! No pictures- we snarfed too fast.

Bar staff were fast and friendly but that was only 10 minutes of my time spent at this restaurant. Upon being sat my friends and I were treated more like nuisances and not customers. The food was dry and had no seasoning. The "garlic" mashed potatoes had no flavor and seemed as if they were frozen and reheated. Overall, the service and quality of the meal is not at all what I was expecting.

Went on a Thursday night and enjoyed it very much. Service is very good, ambiance is upscale without pretentiousness. Food, it was very good, but not amazing.

Exceeded expectations Great/ prompt service Went with someone with a seafood allergy. Food was prepared correctly and the pub menu offered to give plenty of options for seafood less fare.
