    Cheese curds with dill ranch
    Jackie S.

    This was the most surprising spot on our trip! We had the cheese curds with dill ranch (10/10), and split the Cajun club (also 10/10) with fries (100/10 - crispy shoe strings!) very friendly staff and quick service. Casual yet cool bar space. Reasonable prices. Will be back!

    Nice, casual vibe.

    The Food is Amazing! We went there with friends. I was a little disappointed going into what looked like a regular old bar. Wow, was I wrong: we started out with a smoked trout dip appetizer - super fresh - incredible! I had the Philly cheese steak sandwich on the recommendation of our server. The description said it was made with prime rib and I'm like yeah sure... Well, it was, and not only that they have fried the meat to get a nice crunchy texture on the ends. Perfection. The best Philly Steak sandwich I've ever had - including in Philly... Stillwater, you got it going on!!

    Bar vibe

    Dive bar vibe with the best food! We got the trout dip -- the pickled veggies were so good and the dip was light and fresh. Super nice stuff, comfy atmosphere, good bar menu New fave!

    Walleye Sandwich

    I can't believe there are no Yelp reviews on the Walleye Sandwich at Howard's. It was the best I've ever had! The filet was generously sized, super succulent and perfectly battered. The goodness didn't stop there. As others have mentioned, the smoked trout dip/spread is to die for. Adding pickled vegetables was a nice touch. We sampled the chicken chili was tasty and included a generous amount of chicken. Howard's may have a dive bar atmosphere, but the food we sampled exceeded our expectations!

    Lasagna
    Luke G.

    I was very surprised how the good food is! It's a bar, in a tourist city... which doesn't typically translate to made from scratch kitchens. This place is fantastic. The walleye boats were cooked perfectly and had a crispy batter. The homemade dressing on the salad was remarkable. The lasagna was sooooo good. Lasagna away from is usually not that great, but this was one of the best I've had.

    Rib eye steak
    Laura O.

    Very delicious Rib eye dinner for $29.00, There special tonight was actually a prime rib dinner for $32.00 but this caught my attention more. Done to perfection, not much fat SUPER flavorful! The asparagus was crunchy and delicious too and the loaded baked potato was filled with cheese goodness and bacon. They brought horsey sauce and au jus out too with the steak which was a nice touch even though we didn't order the prime rib. Heard the new owner was a Michelin star chef before he bought this place. Made a good choice eating here, general bar looking place.

    I love the food and ambience at this local restaurant, however, stop using colorful markers to write the specials. We can't read them.

    Great music, cold drinks and a fun atmosphere. Definitely a place to stop in and be. Appreciate the local feel and conversation. The service was on point. We were greeted, waters brought to the table and car bombs promptly delivered. Also took our pictures and gave us a bag for our to go. Wish we found this earlier in the day so we could have stayed longer.

    This is a favorite brunch spot for me, but I'm also obsessed with the trout dip the cobb salad and the nachos. And it's so cute inside!

    Meh food. Not a very exciting breakfast menu. Sirloin steak was tough, biscuits and gravy were not very tasty. I'd skip this place.

    Historic building, fun staff, great food at a reasonable price. I love the chili and the fresh squeezed grapefruit cocktails.

    Oasis had a line at the door when we pulled in for breakfast so we took that as a good sign. Since…read morethere were only two of us, we were seated right away. It was pretty loud indoors due to it being packed, so we kind of wished we could have grabbed a table outside; their patio area was adorable! Our server Karey was a superstar: friendly, attentive, very knowledgeable regarding the menu options. My mom said her eggs Benedict was the best she's had in quite some time. My sausage scrambler was loaded with sausage, mushrooms, peppers, cheese and green onions and it was very filling. My only gripe was when I looked at the receipt after we left and saw it cost $7.90 for two cups of coffee. And the coffee wasn't even in the realm of good, so they either need to up their coffee game or lower the price.

    Sadly, the Oasis we once knew and loved is no more. We've been to Oasis 4-5 times since new…read moreownership took over earlier this year and have been disappointed each time. Not only did the prices jump substantially, the quality (and quantity) of our go-to favorites all declined. The burgers are not fresh and/or poor quality beef and the fries are over seasoned. Even the Mickey Mouse pancakes are a fraction of their previous size (I mean, how much does pancake batter really cost?). Breakfast burrito - also more expensive with smaller portions. Fortunately, staff have remained consistent but not reason enough for us to return.
