    I grew up going to the Oasis as a kid w/my grandparents. It was special to me and my older brother…read more Some of the best times were spent there in the 70's and 80's. I remember the check for four people was barely 15 bucks. The best pizza and burgers on the planet! Yes, its outdated and could use some TLC inside, but we went there for the delicious food, period. As I got older and had a car, I would go there on weekends w/my buddies. Everyone loved the food. The Oasis is the first pizza I've ever had that was square cut. Fast forward to 2024, I live in Largo Fl now and every pizza I order, I order square cut. I wish I had a transporter (star trek), to go to the Oasis on weekends. I miss it a lot. There is one pizza place down here that is pretty close to the Oasis quality. And I fondly remember the Oasis when we go there to eat. Thx-John H

Not much to look at from the outside, the inside is a nice little space with the bar (complete with giant fish tank) off to the right and some tables and booths up the stairs by the kitchen. I did not care for the blaring music (about four volume levels higher than I would've preferred) which was playing while I was there. I got the ever-famous Hot Pie. Weirdest pizza I've ever had. Had to be cheddar cheese instead of the usual mozzarella. The crust was soft and bready and had an off-putting taste I didn't really like. Now, had I been drunk at the time....I might be telling a different story. But hey, they've been in business for 92 years. For a local dive bar that's a pretty solid run. I don't know if I'll ever go back myself, but I think there's a lot of folks who would really like it there, so I'd imagine come 2102, another 92 years from now, they'll still be cranking out the Hot Pie like they've been doing since Woodrow Wilson occupied the White House.

What earned the single star review was the owner on the drinking side of the bar who couldn't handle that we were in there. We(me and my two coworkers) came in to enjoy what meal we could find at 11pm on a Monday night. While my coworkers and myself had a conversation about wings, the many ways they are cooked, flavors, temperatures, and the lot, he stood there with his hand on his face apparently "holding himself back" from contradicting everything we were talking about. When one of the coworkers ended up asking how long the food was gonna take after sitting for about 20 mins after ordering. Instead of casually and kindly informing him that they take a while due to their cooking processes, or even having the staff inform us of this apparently common delay prior to placing the order, he responded like a child with discuss through saying "we can give them to you raw?". While he wasn't incorrect, he lacked tact that you could find nearly anywhere else in the world and with the entitlement of a petty little snowflake. We were fortunate enough that the bartender was able to drown this alcoholic further with his vice quickly enough that he was distracted by the pool table and ended up leaving us alone. It was the interactions with the others that caused him to bellow, boast, and brag that he was the owner of the establishment, otherwise, we just assumed he was the Walmart neighborhood drunk. I travel to this town frequently and I will be avoiding this place. If you are a traveler, I suggest the same.

Ambience - pit BBQ vibes with concrete floors and spacious industrial warehouse feel. Servers and hostess were super friendly. Food - Cornbread - we received some complimentary cornbread, which were cut into small squares. Served cold. 3/5 Smoked Gouda Mac and Cheese - the promise of smoked Gouda had my hopes up, but the flavor was lacking 3/5 St Louis Ribs - I asked for ribs with Memphis style dry rub. The flavor was fantastic, but could have been a little more tender. Still, a really good rib. 4/5 Brisket - I was offered Lean, Regular or Fatty. I asked for fatty and received two slices which were half fat. Makes me wonder what I would have gotten if I ordered "Fatty". Regardless,the brisket was a little underseasoned. Fried Clam Strips - the order came out overcooked and burned. The server was nice enough to get a new one for me. 4/5

I have been to Harry L Pub probably 50 times in the 8 years I've lived in the area and usually it's pretty decent. The service is so so usually... they DEFINITELY take care of the regulars, as you probably should. Anyway... sit at a table to only get up 3 minutes later and head to the bar for drinks, I get a bottle beer and she gets a margarita (which she liked) then it went downhill. She ordered the hot turkey and gravy, only to find out 5 mins after we order, they have no gravy... so a burger it is for her... I ordered a turkey club, (pretty hard to mess one up) and sweet potato fries. Of course, with the gravy debacle, mine comes out well before her burger, whatever. I look down and my bread is NOT toasted, nor is it the traditional 3 slices of bread. I've had a LOT of turkey clubs, and NEVER had one that was not toasted, however it was not bad. Oh, I forgot, never got silverware, napkins, or condiments before our food came out, had to ask for all 3. Not once did one of the TWO, bartenders come over and ask if everything was alright. So finish my beer, go ask for a box for her burger, (she ate half and really liked it) and try and get the bill, the cook stands at the bar opening swilling a beer and doesn't even move so I can pay my bill!!! Loved this place in the past, especially when the overhead doors are open and the breeze blows through... but I think I'm done going there.... Wasn't a great experience, and anyone who knows me, knows I ALWAYS leave at least 25%, even with sub par service.... Not tonight....

The vibe of this place is exactly what's needed in America. I wish there were more places like the Union Hotel. It looks so fun and funky, everything is clean and I'm being serious, it's clean! Fried cheese curds and fried pickles...if that's all we ordered we were already hooked! Then our wings came!!! Pry the sauces out of my hands, I had it on my face, up my arms, the wings were exactly what you beg for anywhere else!! The sweetest and most beautiful bartender was an absolute angel getting our drinks and food! Extremely conscientious and attentive during busy moments! We cannot wait to go back...it was a fantastic reminder of what we used to have local to us! 10/10 all the way around!

We tried the Fried Pierogies which were covered with a Buffalo sour cream sauce, the Texas Roadhouse Burger and the Chicken Philly Cheesesteak. I also substituted the French fries for sweet potato waffle fries which were excellent and fried to perfection. We would recommend this restaurant to anyone and we will definitely be back!
