Food was not seasoned, which was sad. That would have made it 5 star easy. Wait staff was good. The peach cobbler a la mode was amazing.
Very welcoming. Lots of comfort food. Reasonable prices for quality food. Definitely has the support of the locals. Worth the short trip out from Temple.

Great chicken fried steak. Fried mushrooms are the bomb. Cole slaw and home fried potatoes are great. Remind you of old days. Can't wait to go back. Everyone should go there..

I cannot believe I’ve waited so long to go out there. I had a cheeseburger that had a fantastic flavor. I’ll definitely make that a regular place now.

Was in the Temple area today on business around lunchtime. I Googled “best restaurants in Temple” and Oscar Store popped up with the reviews stating “best chicken fried steak hands down”. Well, that’s a mighty bold claim I’ve heard MANY times before, and I’ve literally tried them all over Texas. I wanted to check out this mythical place for myself. I got the CFS plate with mashed potatoes and fried okra. Holy Cow!! It didn’t disappoint!Chicken Fried Steak Plate 9/10 - the meat was a thicker cut than most. I personally don’t like the beat to death, paper thin sliver that’s all crust. This my friends was a CFS with substance. The meat was seasoned well. The batter was crispy and well flavored. The gravy was above average and very good. I really enjoyed it!Mashed Potatoes 8/10 - good consistency and texture. The flavor and overall vibe of the potatoes was they were homemade. Gravy was same as CFS.Fried Okra 6/10 - nothing special here. Seemed like run of the mill frozen okra. They were still good though.Roll 9/10 - not sure what kind of roll they put in the plate, but it sure was good. Almost seemed like a honey butter flavored roll?Service 9/10 - everyone was incredibly friendly and helpful. Can’t say enough about the small town hospitality! Thank y’all!Atmosphere 8/10 - old building with rustic charm. I think it was built in 1932 originally. Lots of cool items inside and out.Overall 9/10 - highly recommend you try it out if you’re in the area. Heck, we might road trip from NB to try it again! It’s worth it!!

Great place to get some "home cooking". Oscar's Store is our go-to for going out to eat. We love the atmosphere, everyone is super friendly.

Home country style cooking. Delicious burgers, fantastic country fried steak, and I recently had the 10oz sirloin which was cooked perfectly. Amazing service as well.

Alright food but they were not cooperative or friendly towards my parents when they tried to have a birthday for me there. They were told they couldn’t have a room to themselves unless they rented the entire store out for the day. They decided to have my birthday there anyways and the waitresses rushed everyone at our table the entire time we were there. Good food but disappointed with the staff.

We waited 45 minutes after ordering. Watched people finish their meal that arrived after us. Seriously disappointed. Will not be back!
