Oscar's Cafe Bar Restaurant in North Ayrshire

Lovely staff & good portions of tasty meals. We had Chicken Balmoral & Cajun Chicken Pasta - would recommend both

Good coffee and good breakfast, breakfasts are good value for money, I can't say the same about their lunch and dinner menus, London and Paris prices! Chicken enchiladas for almost £17!

Tasty food, service good, bit pricey.

We had a small wedding lunch here today at oscars, we chose it because we come here for a meal and the cinema and love it , and I have to say the staff and venue were absolutely phenomenal, the staff were so attentive and considerate, nothing was too much trouble and we cannot praise them highly enough ,they even went out of their way to source non alcoholic wine for the drivers in the party, the meal was absolutely fantastic the chef and the kitchen staff were amazing the food was first class so to all the oscars staff THANKYOU for making this special day even more special and an extra part of the day to remember, 5*****

Food is lovely, good size portions as well.

Things are definitely looking up here at Oscars 👍🏻. It’s not always been as good as this, don’t get me wrong, it was always busy but ( and I’m not being condescending, ) I’m assuming peoples expectations weren’t as high as they are now 🤔 …. It’s a nice place to go for a meal and a film. The surroundings are pleasant and the cinema side always has the best films on the go. So whether it’s a burger & a pic or a quick lunch while the kids are racing about the soft play it’s ideally placed for your entertainment. I will take pictures next time, honest 😁

Our 1st time trying oscars and it wasn't a let down food was great and very friendly staff .

They have very tasty food and strongly recommended

Food was absolutely delicious Hit and fresh and tasty Definitely be back

A lovely place, very kind and hardworking staff

Ordered grand kids a sweet which failed to arrive. Requested again from staff, still failed to arrive. Asked again where sweet was, staff advised that no sweet had been ordered. Decided to leave and pay the bill, during which staff recognised that the sweets were on my bill. The cost was removed staff apologised but this is unacceptable as we had waited close to an hour for the kids sweet to arrive which we eventually cancelled. We cancelled because they said they make it when we were leaving. No we wont be back. Lots of other restaurants where we can spend our money.

Staff and service great. Outside area in dire need of a make over or clean up. My lunch was ok but my partner was not impressed with his at all.

Very tasty cuisine and friendly staff! Beautiful views from the window. Children's playground nearby. We recommend!

Stopped off for a drink after a walk on the beach. Great choice of drinks, friendly staff, and quick service. Highly recommend!

8 of us taken in on short notice, the staff were very good and attentive good selection on the menu and the food when it arrived was amazing, hot and very tasty.

Great food and portions. Great Atmosphere. But prices could be lower.

Good place to go with the family

Been many times over the years and was no different to the first. Brilliant! The jaws burger, really big, need the huge jaws to get this one in, lol, tasted brilliant and didn't slide about due to 2 burgers in this one! Chicken tempura, succulent tender meat with a crispy batter was great! Sticky bbq chicken tacos looked brilliant and my son ate the lot! Burrito was a big eat too! Could have been a bit more spicy but was still tasty! Desserts were awesome too! Tablet sundae, raspberry ripple sundae, sticky toffee pudding and a lemon meringue pie! All fantastic! The girls were all great really attentive and looked after us well!

Great Service, very good food, value for money

The soft play area was a big hit with my 3 yr old grandson. Price reasonable for 2 hrs.

Nice meal at competitive prices

First visit. Good atmosphere. Efficient staff. Good menu. Good disabled facilities.

They had my Greatgrandaughters 1st birthday here, atmosphere was lovely. The staff were so friendly and extremely helpful with dietary needs and so pleasant. Food was outstanding, big portions, hot on arrival, again great service. Will definately be back, thank you 😊

Plenty of portions and the honey garlic salmon is delicious Very satisfied

Good food, reasonably priced 😊 good atmosphere 😊

I think this place makes the best coffee in 3town

Great veggie & GF options for our wee group. Food was fresh & well cooked & the service was great

Lovely service and meal was superb.

Came here for an anniversary dinner with family .service was bit slow and my meal wasn't up to much although some others said thers was OK

Friendly helpful staff, nice decor and food was OK but nothing out of the ordinary. We will come again as it’s one of the very few sit-in restaurants in the area

Staff went all out helping the granddaughter who wanted pancakes and strawberries that weren't on the menu,food, staff and service top class as usual

My partner and I had a lovely meal with a few drinks 🍸 the food was delicious, and the portions were huge. We both thoroughly enjoyed the meal it was outstanding 👌 Prices were very reasonable, and the service was excellent, and the staff were amazing 👏 definitely going back for more.

Decent Soft play with plenty of areas for big and small children. Perfect place to go when it's raining. Brilliant Playpark outside for when the sun makes an appearance. There was some shows outside but we're not open.

Great food but had to wait 45 minutes on it! One meal didn't arrive as there was a problem with a broken plate so it came 10 minutes later. Had to ask for water 3 times as it didn't arrive. Very noisy and not a great atmosphere.

Had a tremendous meal last night with my fiancée,everything was absolutely perfect,the service the surroundings and especially the food,loved portions sizes and taste and also how warm the food was which is usually a massive bugbear of mine,so thanks again for a tremendous night

Only dropped in for a takeaway coffee but it was hot and tasty

Absolutely amazing food, the pasta was incredible! The goat cheese on the appetizers was so fluffy and delicious and our waitress was very attentive and helpful

Enjoyed coffee, we were a large group and kids played nearby. Very relaxing.

Terrific food and views, best haddock have had for a long time.

Excellent Service, food was cooked to perfection. Our favourite place to visit when visiting family.

Went thre just before 12 .was told lunch doesn't start till 12 and the 2 girls at bar just played in there ohones instead f putting menu's out at taking drinks order we had to go up for menu's our self and we sat and after about 10min we left as the 2 girl would be better getting a job the they actually want to do .as there service was shocking will not be back in the place and a do hope other customers go else where for a service .a would recommend the waterside jus 5 min down road

One of the best places to go out in Saltcoats, whether it's to eat or just coffee. Very reasonably priced too.

Great service, food ok, decor ok. It was a dreech night outside !

Phoned before hand to make sure we could sit outside with our dog for breakfast. When we got there, they told us we can't eat outside. I told them I phoned before and they said riverside answers their calls. They refused to serve us outside. Only drinks. Absolutely ridiculous! Rather lose customers then bring you a breakfast roll outside. Also we drove from kilmarnock, that's why we phoned 1st so not to waste the trip. Waste of time

First time using this restaurant, it's part of a cinema complex I wasn't expecting anything special. How wrong I was. The menu had a fantastic choice. For my starter, I had salt and chilli chicken. It was a decent sized portion, and it was delicious I had the Jaws Burger, which was one of the best burgers I've ever tasted. I thought I was going to need a bigger boat. I would rate this restaurant very highly, and I can't wait to try some of The other dishes on the menu

They do a monster of a side salad. Generous portions. Great menu. The venue itself is spacious with a relaxed atmosphere. Professional & welcoming team. Highly recommend.

There should be star ratings for price. Although the food was decent the portions were small and it is way overpriced for being in Saltcoats but as my nephew picked here for his birthday we had no choice but to pay London prices.

Lovely coffee and staff but very disappointed pay with card only I like to be given the choice how I pay for my coffee

Had to wait 30 mins for food the only done side

If you haven't been before they don't tell you it's card payment only when you book. The service was poor ,waited ages trying to get someone's attention to order more drinks.

Booked for our Dad's 80th birthday dinner Lovely place,spotless,staff were very attentive&welcoming.most definitely going back

We had dad's 80th celebration last night.food excellent staff exceptional highly recomend we will be back. Thank-you.

Place looked nice from the outside so wr jumped in for a quick bite to eat. Oh boy was that a mistake! Got seated and they took our drinks order as normal, then around 2 mins after the food order. We had ordered 1 small steak and a kids burger for my son. We then waited 45 mins until the food came out with no-one giving us an update. Eventually the food came, burger looked OK but the steak was horrific, especially for the price! It was served on a salad bowl which is just weird but what got me was the fact that I ordered it rare, was wall to wall grey inside with absolutely no char on the outside at all either. The sides were all undercooked too, the chips were the same as you find in any frozen section of a supermarket. These, the onion rings and the tomato were threatened with heat before it got sent out with the onions being raw in the middle of the onion rings and the batter looking whiter than casper if he joined the kkk. The tomato was the same, not even a single grill mark, it looked like it was thrown in the microwave the way it was warmish in the middle and had no colour on the outside. All in all I wouldn't be back, if its this poor on a Thursday night I shudder to think how bad it is when there's more than 17 (I had time to count) customers in the building

Pleasantly surprised at how nice it was . Lovely food and very pleasant staff

Absolutely tremendous food . Stunning place . Staff brilliant

First time here, food was great, not a cheap place to eat out but quality of food was very high so still seemed good value, recommended 👍

Great place, staff, food, ticks all boxes, always great!

Great shelter from the weather. Hot chocolate was good with cream and marshmallows and the empire biscuits are class too. The card machines were being temperamental but other than that it was a decent cafe.

Lovely meal although the portions were too big for us oldies Nice atmosphere.

Nice meal with wife a kids, will go back

Food was good, service had us waiting for quite awhile for drinks after the food but other than that it was a good place to go before the cinemas

Pleasant surroundings, good food,music a bit too loud

A lovely place with lovely food and staff :)

Never had a bad meal in Oscars ever! Always friendly staff members.

Food was lovely and good size portions. Staff were very friendly.

Always enjoy breakfast at Oscar's..prices are reasonable and service is good..nice place

Absolutely love the food here never had a bad meal always very welcoming staff

Our family have gone to Oscar's tonnes of times for various family celebrations and always love the food and service. This Christmas, my sister was too unwell to make it out for a meal and they were kind enough to organise a take away of our meals for us so that we could all spend Christmas together as a family. You have no idea how much this meant to us (as we had the same situation last year) and we are so grateful to the staff for going above and beyond. (And the food was great)!

Waited a whole 5 minutes for my food, otherwise very happy with my experience

Took mum here before heading in to see a movie, Although we had both been before and said we wouldn't be back we though since years had passed it may be different. How wrong were we, took 45 mins for food to arrive and was not very nice roasted lamb tasted as if it had been frozen and veg was overcooked and bland the roast potatoes never arrived instead they had boiled potatoes that tasted old and mash cost £40 for two roast lamb dinners and two soft drinks. Prices dont justify that slop

Another good experience at oscars.

Great facility for the grand kids kept them happy for nearly two hours

Very nice place, friendly staff. I had Mediterranean risotto which was very nice and a large portion.

Could be doing with some background music but other than that a very pleasant experience 👌👌

Nothing much to recommend average pub food.

Great food good staff and great view

Great excellent cooked and servered

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit.

Tasty chicken Saad prepared for my friend even although not on the menu

Quality food served and lots of it.

Went to the soft play. Cash only even though it's card only in the restaurant. Staff are rude and unhelpful. Soft play is grubby, obviously not been cleaned in years. Food is expensive and not very good.

We really enjoyed our breakfast at Oscar's. They serve up good portions and the food was very good. Our server was diligent and served with a smile.

Had a fantastic birthday meal here with the family all food and staff were outstanding big thanks for a brilliant night HIGHLEY RECOMMENDED

We enjoyed our late lunch there, reasonable priced. Friendly helpful staff. Will return again

Oscars was wonderful we had lovely meals service was excellent and good value thank you

Food excellent and worth a visit.

Food was OK but a bit overpriced for size of portion.

Food fantastic ,staff very pleasant and good atmosphere!!

My friend and I have been going to Oscars for 10yrs…but after todays visit think we shall give it a miss now…service was very poor not the same as it was when Laura was there she always had the place running smoothly for the customers and was very attentive ..been gradually changing over the last year ..so disappointed as we always loved our lunch dates here

What a lovely view over to Arran. This place puts the big chain eateries to shame on quality and price. Would be good if you added or/and put specials to menu. Salads,seafood, pizza etc. Only a thought. Staff polite and attentive. We'll done to you all.

Carbonara is my favourite go to dish if its on the menu presented with 2 slices of garlic bread, never had a Carbonara so dry yet oily no parmasan offered and nothing to dip the garlic bread in to. Kids menu is reasonable enough but for the prices and upmarket theme you would think sauces would come in bottles instead wee McDonald's type tear of saches kids all enjoyed the grub and staff where lovely just missing some simple touches. Cashless which personally I find an absolute disgrace.

Really nice food and excellent service and really nice staff.

I was not happy with because try to make me pay by card the bill was 152 but they did not want my cash but the had to take my cash or I would have had a free meals

was at Oscar's last week for a change and loved my food was lovely my companions all ate there meals and enjoyed our night out and the staff and atmosphere is always second to none great choice of food and warm and comfy place with seaviews to can ask for anymore than that

Very very disappointed that you now are card payment only I'm of the older generation and deal with cash I just don't understand why restaurants and shops won't take money it's crazy

Food was not great, service poor portion size good.

Super restaurant located on the sea shore , the staff is very welcoming and helpful; we ate there on 2 ocassions while on our holiday. Food is fantastic, fresh and cooked to perfection!! Desserts are amazing as well !! Hopefully we will be back in the future 🙂

Staff were pleasant, food was very good. It was quite busy ( 1pm -3pm) but place is spacious and airy.

Food was really good would definitely go back

Had a lovely visit. We were a large booking of 10 and there were another few larger groups in so we had to pick from the smaller set menu but it still had a good selection. Some of the portions were rather large which for some is a good thing 😄 but a few of our party felt it a bit off putting as in no way could we finish the dish. But that is the only thing, everything else was really great.
