“Ordered the army breakfast. Eggs were over done, sausage was under cooked and the entire meal was cold. Could have had a better breakfast at a homeless shelter. First and last time.“

“Dined on our anniversary and were greeted with a congratulatory card and glass of champagne. Our server, Lauren, was a rock star. We couldn't decide on a bottle of wine to order and she brought three samples for us to try, which made the decision easy. The food was excellent and you must try the Brussel sprouts appetizer. Save room for desert and don't skip the crème brûlée!“

“Absolutely amazing. A true fine dining 5* experience from the service to the food. Will return again and again.“

“We had the fried green tomatoes as our first appetizer. They were tender and topped with lumps of crabmeat. Spectacular! Then we had the fried cheese appetizer. I can’t remember the name of the cheese, but it was delicious in the accompanying sauce and olive oil and pesto. All of the dishes we had came out perfect. My filet medallions were so tender,they melted in my mouth. Hubby got the pork loin over mashed potatoes and Brussels sprouts and loved it. We will definitely come back!“

“Thanks for making our Thanksgiving Dinner!“

“Great food as always and awesome servers. Our server, Maggie, took the time to help me understand menu, especially what was on the item I wanted. I have a learning disability and she took the time to break down the item I was looking for without me feeling pressured. She was kind and checked on my family and I every so often. We come to Oscar’s a lot, but she’s one of the first servers I’ve had anywhere that has taken the time to help slow things down and make it understandable.“

“The food was amazing. Very cool little Main Street place.“

“When you want old school charm and history in Ellicott City, this is your stop. I haven't been in years, first time for lunch and couldn't be more satisfied. Their stuffed mushrooms caps was all crab meat, delish. Their Steak wrap was better than a cheesesteak sammie. Herman was on his service game!“

“The staff, food, drinks, decor, outdoor dining with a large TV and the large parking lot are some of the best around.“

“When looking for a place to eat a good and reasonably priced meal in an area where most eateries are affiliated with chains, this is definitely a place to keep in mind. Everything about it is satisfying: There is a nice variety on the menu, but it isn't overloaded, the ambiance is pleasant and not noisy at all; the staff is friendly and not afraid to give advice; and the food is well prepared and presented. So while it may not rank at the top of the scale, it's a solid option for a good meal.“

Compliments to Leena, the hostess, and the chefs who prepared the meal and provided such an amazing experience for our first time coming there. Thank you!“

“THE greatest and nicest bar I have ever been to; good wine, great food, best bartenders, and the owner is super sweet! Chef is tops, in my book! We love it and have made a lot of friends. Try it, you're gonna love it!“

“The cooks are not changing the oil while frying the chicken. Although the chicken looks appealing, it tastes burnt. I love Famous Dave's, but the location in Columbia, MD is in dire need of a makeover. The booth chairs are worn down, the floors are cracked and messy, and they all need to be replaced.

The bar also needs an upgrade; it's old, looks broken, and is dirty. The windows require new blinds—perhaps tinted windows would be a better option since the current blinds are filled with dust, dirt, and bugs. You can't even close them properly without dirt getting into your food.

It's time to update the restaurant's appearance and give it a modern look. Trust me, if you improve the cleanliness and ambiance, you will consistently earn five-star reviews. People love dining in a clean restaurant and will keep coming back. Attracting Gen Z and Alpha generations requires an updated look for your establishment.“

Delicious eggs Benedict & the hollindaise was amazing! My fiancé had the biscuits & gravy & was so happy with his food. Excellent portions & such a wonderful place. Can’t wait to come back again!! Highly recommend!!“

“The staff was great 15/10 service!!! I could see parking being a little difficult depending on the time of day (the later in the evening the more difficult it could be). The cream of crab soup was definitely a no go. It lacked flavor and the texture/ consistency of it was very odd, salt and pepper couldn’t even help, it was just flat out bland. Drinks were awesome, specially the rum punch! The salmon Alfredo was very delicious and the chef salad was hearty and fresh. The seating was challenging the chairs were very comfortable and the tables were elegant however the chairs are way too short for the tables. Cutting up my salad was tedious and annoying since my arms had to be held at shoulder level to accommodate for the height of the table. It was a dinner workout! I’m almost 5’6” and the table height coincided with my armpit. So had the chair and table height ratio been better I would have given 5 stars even though the soup was not tasty.

Parking: The parking lot is shared with two other businesses a motel and a restaurant.“

“Delicious burgers...in fact, the best burger spot in the area....avid fan of the Columbia location --been there six times the past 3 weeks... the service always prompt and friendly, especially from Raymond“

“Great vegan food. Just had a special broccoli appetizer. Yum!!“

“I love this place. I have been going here since the early 2000s. Their mambo sauce is incredible. Its just a shame I moved 2 hours away and can no longer get the mambo sauce. I tried store bought and its crap compared to their mambo. I gotta figure out the recipie so I can make it at home and not drive 2 hours just for a mambo cheesesteak“
