heading back from a weekend scout camp, my son and I decide to grab some breakfast. Oasis had good reviews, so we gave it a shot. we got there at 930. it was really busy, but we only had to wait about 10 minutes. I had my coffee within 3 minutes of being seated. very important after being around screaming kids all weekend. we ordered and the food came within 15 minutes. we spent the wait looking out at the St Croix River and just enjoying the scenery. I got the biscuits and gravy and my son got the 2&2 (2 pancakes and 2 eggs) with a side of bacon. everything was great. the pancakes were nice and fluffy, and the biscuits were exactly as you would expect. I felt the gravy could have used a tad more seasoning, but that might just be me. parking is a little tight, so if you come at a very busy time, you might need to park down the road a little and walk. it's not far though... less than 50 yards. overall, it was a great breakfast and a great value. the biscuits and gravy (comes with 2 eggs) was $10, the pancakes and eggs were $8, and the side of bacon was $3. very reasonable prices. the view was nice and the staff was friendly and very efficient. read more

Got takeout from here during Covid. I got the Chainsaw chicken sandwich. It's a fried chicken sandwich breaded with Captain Crunch and Corn Flakes. I loved the texture of it. They said it would be done in 10 minutes but my drive there is a bit over 20 minutes. The chicken sandwich and fries were still crispy and warm when I got my food. I looooved it. The chicken was crispy on the outside and still juicy on the inside. I loved the battered fries. I can't wait to come back and try more things. It's worth the drive! read more

Another delightful breakfast at this quaint little spot. They have some unique items on the menu and the service is always spot on. I had the mushroom eggs Benedict and would highly recommend it. Hubby had the hangover breakfast sandwich and it was delightful. Our server, Liz, was friendly and helpful...a delight. read more

Oasis Cafe - Mushroom eggs Benedict - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Stillwater, Minnesota

Service is great. The food is great. I always stop there when I do some shopping in Stillwater.

Food and service was very good - it was very busy on a Sunday morning around 1030 so we sat at the bar in the back. Food was great, definitely generous portions for the cost. The Bloody Mary was disappointing - very flavorless and watered down. Also costs extra to add a beer on the side, which comes with the bloody at most places. read more

My wife and I were looking for a different place for a weekend brunch, so we drove out to Stillwater from St. Paul to try Oasis. A+ experience all around. The place was busy, but we only had to wait 5 minutes or so to be seated. It has that "local diner" feel, and from the discussions around us, there were plenty of regulars there. It took us forever to order, because everything on the menu sounded amazing. I had the "Oasis Haystack", which is a couple eggs over hash browns, cheese, onions, green pepper, and breakfast meats. The base could've been overwhelmingly greasy (I've had similar dishes that were) but it tasted fresh, and the breakfast meat was very nicely done (bacon, sausage, I think). My wife had the Chainsaw Chicken sandwich, and it was so huge I expected she'd be bringing home leftovers, but she gobbled it all up, and said it was the best fried chicken sammich she'd ever had. Prices were reasonable, and the view of the St. Croix from inside the restaurant was wonderful. This needs to become a regular weekend breakfast spot for us - there's a lot of menu left to try! read more

A lifetime destination I've driven hundreds of times, nestled between MN #95 and the St. Croix bluffs, the Oasis Cafe has always exuded charm as a place to dine. Now, a bucket list eatery, I stopped on a brisk grey day punctuated by snow flurries as spring struggled to break through. Entering, a 50s style diner, with charm undiminished, beckons. A small dining area, with a great view of the River, connects the sparkling rear bar/dining room, creating a great atmosphere before the menu appeared. I ordered the biscuits, gravy and two eggs easy over. The biscuits were dense and tasty, the gravy thin and biscuit 'soppable.' The Thunder Bay beer was a wonderful pairing. The server was friendly and attentive which completed a thoroughly enjoyable lunch. read more

I love this place; mainly for breakfast. Food and Service are exceptional. Parking can be a nightmare on weekends, but we usually go during the week, so not much of a problem. Waitresses/Waiters are so attentive. I like to bring my own coffee (I'm your typical "coffee snob") and they never balk at that. You won't be disappointed having breakfast out! Make the trip to this diner. read more

I should have taken a picture before I started eating, but it looked and smelled so go I couldn't wait so this is only half of what you get. The hash browns had the perfect amount of crispy-ness, plenty of meat mixed in and the toast was a nice thick slice. This was my first visit, but it definitely won't be my last. read more

Good breakfast food in a nice area Service is usually very good and we have never had a bad experience there. The place has a great atmosphere but is a bit cramped (as it is usually very busy) Only complaint would be a lack of good gluten free options but thats just me :) read more

Excellent breakfast! Such a hidden gem in Stillwater. It's right as you come into town and is always busy. We love having breakfast there. On this visit we arrived right when they opened and there was a line through the parking lot! The staff did a quick job getting everyone seated and beverages right away. The kitchen was amazing because even though the whole place filled up at the same time we did not wait long for our order. We ordered the sausage scramble, Belgian waffles with blueberries and the Colorado haystack. All done perfectly! The food is delicious. I have never had a dish I didn't like. There is outdoor seating and lots of indoor seating. This is one of the few places in Stillwater that has a parking lot you do not have to pay to park. read more

This is a MUST in Stillwater! 10/10 on all accounts: amazing service, cool and classic menu, hearty portions, and small town atmosphere. There were a few groups waiting before us on a Sunday morning: a great sign! The owner or manager took our party's name by asking the name of our favorite cartoon character. He then offered to get us water or coffee while we waited. It set the mood for our experience! After a very short wait, we were seated, and our waitress was just as fun and attentive. She made some recommendations and kept our coffee mugs filled. We got the cornbread to share for the table: an absolute must! So delicious. I got a Haystack and it was perfectly crispy and cheesy and diner delicious. They have gluten free bread as well! Our party also got corned beef hash, prime rib hash, and a skillet. The corned beef is next level! The manager came back around to check in and said because we had the American Flag mug we got to hum a song on the way out. So fun--this place really has character! read more

The hostess here is extraordinary. There's something that lifts your mood when the host requires your favorite cartoon character as identification while you wait for a table. He was accommodating and sincere. First impressions are everything, and he delivered. The breakfast potatoes were one of the best I've ever had. Crispy exterior, fluffy interior, sauteed and salted to perfection... you can't lose. The pancakes weren't anything special. They were thin and crispy. Lucky for them, dousing a mediocre pancake with syrup is a quick remedy. read more

Food is fantastic here, I went for breakfast, so eggs and coffee. Ordered eggs benedict and it was fabulous. I've loved this place for over 30 years, it's still terrific. Waitress was awesome, thank you read more

Great food, excellent service, in a pretty cool place. The patio was nice and dog-friendly.

Great food, nice service and a good cup of Joe. The French toast here is outstanding. I would definitely come back.

I've been here lots for breakfast, but went for lunch for the first time today. The billboard out front advertising the best burgers in Stillwater had been intriguing me for some time now. I was almost swayed by the chicken salad sandwich, but ended up ordering the jalapeño burger. The description said their burgers are made with ground beef, bacon and butter. I wasn't sure what I would think since I'm normally a pretty basic burger person, but wow! The burger patty itself was quite tasty and had pepper jack cheese, steak sauce and bacon on it. I still have my favorite burger place in Stillwater, but this was a solid second choice. I can't wait to go back and try more other lunch items. read more

Oasis Cafe - Jalapeño burger! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Stillwater, Minnesota

Just absolutely love coming here. It gets really busy quickly, so get there early, or expect to wait a bit during breakfast time. Dinner time seems less busy. My breakfast favorites are the Mexian Haystack and the granny Smith sandwich. They usually have a quiche of the day too. If you get regular hot coffee, hope one day you will be graced with the "Big Hug Mug". They also offer a fairly full bar, so if that tickles your fancy, you are in luck. I have only been in once for dinner and and had the peanut chicken tacos and they were great. Definitely make a stop before heading in to DT Stillwater. read more

Service was so good you get water when your waiting for your food the owner played a game with me. Took a little while for the food but it was worth it. read more

I have been here a few times and I would recommend their chicken and waffles! Staff is very friendly and it has a very friendly atmosphere!

Get the jalapeño burger and thank me later. Perfectly cooked with the right combination of hot from the pepper and sweet from the sauce. It's so good. One of the best burgers I've had locally. read more

I work overnights. I wanted breakfast/dinner. I can have a beer, but I can't order a burger until 11 am, and the portions are smaller than I heard. Disappointing. Don't think I'll come back. I guess I'm just surprised in a 24 hr kinda of world & out was a total bummer. read more

The food, the service, Bloody Mary's! Everything is really great at this place! I wish I could get there more often. There breakfast is so delicious and so is everything else! Now I want to go right now! Lol read more

This place is busy but the wait isn't bad at all. Just know they wait until your entire party is there before seating. It is an open kitchen so you can see what other diners are ordering if you're unsure on what to order. This place does charge 3.99% when using a credit card (new norm in MN). Parking lot isn't big and limited handicap parking spot (only 1 or MAYBE 2, not sure if there is more in the back). There are parking on the side of the road, just be careful crossing the street. Our server was very attentive and made sure my coffee cup was never empty. I highly recommend their smoked salmon benedict, my kids don't normally like trying anything new but they loved it! Would love to go back and try their biscuits and gravy. Their pancakes on the hand was just so so, a lot of people ordered it so maybe it just wasn't what I'm used to? To me it was more on the drier side and my daughter said hers had a chewy texture. read more

I had high hopes based on reviews but food was not good. Maybe they do breakfast better, we had lunch and it was awful. I had a curry soup and half turkey sandwich which I assumed would be a cold deli style sandwich but it was hot, greasy with melted cheese. Yuck. My husband ordered a hamburger and bun was really soggy and he had to eat it with a fork. I'm sad because I usually love a diner but we won't be back. It was clean and people seemed nice. read more

Bad food- even worse service! Try buying better quality food ingredients and hiring all new staff!

A charming diner with great atmosphere, especially the "regulars" pictures on the wall (what a tribute!). Henry was an amazing waiter. We asked for his recommendations & chose The Hangover & the Oasis Haystack. They were amazing! The hollandaise sauce is homemade & yummy. The hash browns were tasty & cooked crispy like we like them. Will definitely go there again! read more

Convenient parking Happy, friendly servers Great prices Fast service Delicious food What more can you ask for!? I will definitely be back. I HIGHLY recommend! read more

We found this restaurant on a recommendation and SO GLAD that we stopped! All of our food tasted great, was hot, and we did not have a long wait for food even though it was crowded. The staff knows how to run the restaurant! Great staff and nice decor. Tried the Granny Smith breakfast sandwich and the hangover breakfast sandwich as well as the Oasis omelette that my husband said was the best omelette he has ever eaten. read more

Have had breakfast here and it was great! Went back for supper and was equally pleased! Big burger and crisp tasty fries! Seasoned just right. Also got the roast beef sandwich which had the twist of a biscuit rather than white slice of bread-much better this way. Great flavor and even the potatoes stood out read more

Oasis Cafe is a perfect breakfast diner. I love how cozy it feels tucked right into the rocks on the side of the hill. We showed up on MLK day around 10 and the place was packed yet there was hardly a wait. Coffee mugs are all different and cute. I ordered the avocado omelette. Food came out pretty quickly! I actually would've been ok to wait a little for the food just because the inside is such a vibe. The omelette was so flavorful I took a bite before taking a picture and writing this review just to be sure. The perfect day: eat at oasis and then walk through all the shops downtown stillwater! read more

Our favourite spot for breakfast. I live in Stillwater, and sometimes me and my husband love to come to Oasis for a classical American rich breakfast. This place is always busy, but welcoming, with friendly service and delicious food; Oasis never failed us, it is always good. On the next day after our wedding party we had a relaxed breakfast with our friends at Oasis, it was great - lovely summer morning, outdoors, with our 2 small dogs sitting quietly under the table waiting for fall-offs. read more
