About This Place

Nestled in the heart of Ashland, Oregon, Omar's Fresh Seafood and Steaks is a culinary destination that has been delighting locals and visitors for an impressive 79 years. This iconic seafood restaurant masterfully combines fresh ocean flavors with robust, savory steakhouse classics, creating an inviting menu that caters to both seafood lovers and steak enthusiasts alike.

From the moment you step inside Omar’s, you’re greeted with warm hospitality and a cozy atmosphere that feels both timeless and welcoming. The attentive staff truly enhance the experience—whether you’re dropping in for a quick lunch deal or savoring a leisurely dinner, you’ll find service that’s as polished as the meals themselves.

The menu thoughtfully balances classic favorites with distinctive creativity.

The seafood offerings shine — from impeccably seasoned Albacore Tuna to hearty, satisfying Beer Battered Fish with Steak Potatoes. On the meat side, the steaks are treated with reverence; dishes like the perfectly cooked Filet Mignon with Baked Potato and Squash, the bold and impressive Tomahawk, and tender Sirloin Steak promise an indulgent, melt-in-your-mouth experience.

Beyond the mains, the sides and desserts add a delightful finishing touch. Crispy Garlic Fries and warm, whole grain bread baskets complement any dish, while the Blueberry Pie and decadent Chocolate Cake make for irresistible endings. Pair your meal with Omar’s Blend Coffee or explore their range of beverages including refreshing iced teas, mineral water, or even a Michelada for those who prefer a spirited accompaniment.

Patrons repeatedly mention the quality and consistency of the food and service. One guest shared how the “surf and turf” was thoroughly enjoyed, highlighting the friendly and attentive service that made the meal memorable. Another praised the lunch specials as an unbeatable value, complimenting bartender Ryan’s expert recommendations and courteous manner.

Whether you’re seated casually at the bar during happy hour, enjoying oyster shooters and clam chowder, or celebrating a special occasion with perfectly cooked steaks and steamed clams gracefully presented, Omar’s delivers. The seasoned chefs bring out the artistry of the ingredients—each bite bursting with balanced seasoning, texture, and fresh flavors that speak to decades of culinary passion.

Omar's Fresh Seafood and Steaks is far more than a restaurant; it’s a cherished Ashland tradition where every dish tells a story, every visit feels like coming home, and where the enduring commitment to quality keeps guests coming back time and again.

    The friendly folks from Ashland Mountain Adventures recommended this spot. My friends and I came in and we were seated right away. The food was pretty good. I had the surf and turf and I enjoyed it thoroughly. The server was very nice and took good care of us.

    I had a great experience at Omar's . I was stopping by 2 get some food after work. I entered it with escargot and seafood excellent I could not ask for better. Ryan the bartender was courteous and helpful in selecting my items. I had stopped in a few days earlier for the $10 lunch what a deal. Ryan waited on us at that point to he was gracious and knew his stuff who arrived quickly and we were excellently satisfied.

    Got here (first timers) at 4:30 pm, ahead of the Raiders vs Warriors game and took advantage of happy hour. Got invited to sit at a table even though only the bar was open. Ordered up off the specials menu— the calamari, some chowder and a set of pork bbq sliders, complimented by an Arnold Palmer for the driver and a couple of John Dalys (add vodka). Finished off with one-each of the desserts—blueberry cobbler, a crème brûlée and an ice cream sundae. Completely not sorry. Everything was truly amazing, made fresh in-house (except the ice cream). Freshly breaded seafood, freshly fired sugar cap on the crème brûlée. Just amazing. If the volleyball didn’t bring me the Ashland, Omar’s would!! We’ll certainly be back!

    The place has been around for 79 years, how can 79 years in business be wrong. It wasn't, the food was on point, prices were reasonable, the steak was properly cooked medium rare, the service was fantastic. It was just a great experience. I had eaten a meal an hour before I went, I had no plans to eat again, but I had one bite and I cleaned my plate. That is incredibly rare for me. Cannot reccomend this place enough.

    This IS THE PLACE first eating dinner or lunch or whenever they're open. We had dinner and it was very very good! Oyster shooters, clam chowder, steamed clams, to start accompanied with plenty of fresh hot bread, then our mains were the Halibut, perfectly prepared with a beautiful seasoning just a touch of crust but the meat was flaky and melt in your mouth delicious, the fish and chips are the best I've had since Scotland, and finally and perhaps incongruously a chicken fried steak! It was the best I've had. Period. Sorry Texas. While the mains were enough the sides were also excellent, from my potato wedges that had a nice crunchy seasoned exterior and a lovely soft center to the real whipped potatoes seasoned with a bit of chives and butter these were amazing by themselves. Then when we're all done begging for mercy they mention their creme broule and it won the night. Hard crust creamy not too sweet smooth deliciousness. All this amazing food plus 6 adult beverages (they have a full bar) was under $200!!! Blew my mind. This is not cheap food, this is excellent food prepared excellently at a bargain price. If I lived within a 100 miles I'd be here once a week. Finally the people are the friendliest most warm and helpful group I've been around since the 80s. Proactive service! Remember those days. These people haven't ever forgotten. In businesses since 1946!!! Just a real treasure! Treat yourself and visit. Tip your waitstaff the amount you know you should have paid for this great experience!

    First time dining here, we enjoyed the atmosphere. Lots of historic photos, which I really enjoyed. Fresh flowers in old glass vases on every table. Seated quickly, server was a sweet girl. We tried the special of New York strip, garlic mashed, grilled asparagus in balsamic glaze, and panko breaded soft shell crab. $45 per plate. I was really happy with the steak, it was cooked and seasoned really well. I liked the asparagus, it was not mushy but firm. The potatoes were plated beautifully as well. Husband had an oyster shooter that he said was great. Husband did not like the crab, there was a slight mush in the middle. I didn’t know how to eat it, but overall a good experience and somewhere I’d go again. Ashland also has an additional food tax even though it’s Oregon so you will find that at any restaurant you eat at there, and they do charge a card use rate of I think 3%. Only gave 3 stars for the food because of the crab, the rest was good. Thanks!

    This is a total hidden gem. The restaurant looks humble from the outside and bar, but the interior dining room has an old-fashioned, intimate atmosphere. Everything about every dish my family ate was impressive and satisfying. My NY steak was excellently seasoned and cooked perfectly medium rare. The Oregon Snapper fish and chips my mother ate were outstanding. Especially the "chips," which were these tender potato wedges with a outside crisp I've never seen before. And our server was professional, personable, and relaxing. Overall, for me and my family, it was perfect in every aspect.

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Omar’s in Ashland is pure gold. Sat at the bar with a bartender who was warm, funny, and poured a martini that was absolute perfection — kept the whole bar buzzing while still making me feel like a VIP. Bomb!! The onion rings were golden, crispy nuggets of joy — smothered in ranch, beer-battered to perfection, the kind of flavor you only get from years of practice. Big, bold, and downright unforgettable. I’d drive up from San Francisco just for another basket.
