Oasis Diner - Burnt tasting food - Diners Near Me - Plainfield, Indiana

The first thing I want to mention before I forget is that Tuesday is Senior Night. 50% off of any entree between 4pm and 6pm.-Remember, that's Tuesday's only! Since it is on the far West side (in Plainfield) and we are on the far Eastside of Indianapolis, we don't often drive to the Oasis. I wanted to take my brother somewhere different. He and I had their well known Fried Tenderloin Sandwich. They are hand cut and hand pounded. They are coated with....hmm, then deep fried, placed on a Brioche Bun and if ordered deluxe, you get mayo, pickle, lettuce, and red onion. It comes with a regular side fries, slaw, tots, for 99cents upgrade to onion rings, sweet potato fries, Mac and cheese or mashed potatoes and gravy. I ordered a Diet Coke. Tony had a grilled tenderloin and he enjoyed that. Our daughter ordered two Fish Tacos and tots. She said the tacos were very good! Many people had called in their orders and were picking them up. Many others were coming in to place orders like we did. The one girl taking orders, taking the money, and passing out the orders was very nice and maintained a smile despite the number of people coming and going.i recommend The Oasis, but be prepared. It is not cheap at all!! Check prices on line. read more

A nice local spot for breakfast- the food isn't anything special. It is cool to be in an older, retro-style restaurant. They take your order and our food was out in less than 10 minutes. read more

A classic "go-to" spot for some simple and familiar comfort food. A definite top contender on my DoorDash list

My boyfriend and I love Oasis. Their tenderloin is massive and so so good. Even when we get it for delivery, it's still high quality. We also like their beignets. So good! read more

They website said they were open. Freezing outside so I called and asked if they were open at 3pm. They said yes. Arrived at 4pm. Note on door said they were closed. Two cars in parking lot. Too chicken to come out. They ran and hid in the back. Usually bomb food. read more

First: I know I didn't order the right thing. However, everyone else's food looked REALLY good. I just didn't care for my breakfast sandwich that day. Made well, just wasn't what I really wanted after all. :-P See the photos in my review for a giant tenderloin, a burger, and some tasty chili. Looking forward to another visit so I can try other things. So glad to see this iconic business moved to a better location, expanded, and brought back into the spotlight. Plus, I love all the diner-y, vintage touches. read more

The atmosphere is really fun! Makes you feel like going on a road trip. Service was just fine and I got to sample any of the pops that they make in house. Butterscotch Rootbeer is really good. I had the Tenderloin sandwich and it was one of the better this Hoosier has ever had. Edit: had breakfast for the first time here. Tenderloin for breakfast was so good. The hash browns could have been cooked more and the eggs were cold, but when I told them they got me new ones in two minutes. Quick service, plenty of refills, still a great atmosphere. read more

A group of 10 of us stopped by this historic landmark late-morning after shooting photos. I wouldn't recommend coming with such a large group, but they were very accommodating and the weather was in our favor so we sat on the patio even though it was chilly. A friend in our group works with historic landmarks in the state and share the story behind this lovely spot in Plainfield. It made me even more happy that we'd made the trip. The service and personalities of the staff were great, even considering we were a very large group and they were at capacity when we arrived. The food was tasty (and included larger portions that I was expecting) and I look forward to coming back soon. Next time, though my goal will be to sit at the bar and all of it's 1950s diner glory. read more

Oasis Diner - Beautiful but a little chilly to sit on the patio. - Diners Near Me - Plainfield, Indiana

So good, so filling and cooked perfectly! Hamburger, tenderloin onion rings, fries and specially crafted soft drinks! Staff is helpful friendly! Place is spotless! read more

If I could do -1 I would. Used to be dog friendly- now not so much, or friendly at all about it. Used to come here a lot with my dog now they've Lost my business. Very disappointing. read more

The employees are nice and chill. They don't really bother you. You can hear every conversation since the building is so small. The food was decent but I've definitely have had better! read more

It's one of those places you want to love, but it's so bloody expensive for what you get, and the service so poor at times, that I can't see myself trying it more than the several times I have. I would even be willing to overlook the price if the experience was that much better. read more

We took our food home to our dog!!! Food sucks!!! The service was good until I went up to the counter to pay my bill and over heard our waitress talking bad about my family and saying if they didn't like the food then why did they eat it all. The plates were cleaned because we took $60 worth of food home to our dog. I travel a lot and been to many different restaurants and I have to say this place ranks one of the worst places I've been. I will say the diner looked great and the decor was amusing. The desserts looked delicious but because of the way the staff talked about my family we passed. Instead we went next door to Dairy Queen. read more

Neat little place. Went with the family on a Tuesday, during Indy Burger Week by NUVO magazine for Second Helpings. We all got the $5 burger special. They were the exact same items from their menu. Not a small version like many places do. It was a good burger. We had fries and onion rings. They were good too. The highlight was the house made sodas. I had butterscotch root beer. I was really pleased. If you are nearby it's worth a try. read more

Food was amazing and service was just as amazing!!! Tenderloin was delicious and so was the patty melt and you definitely have to get those fried mushrooms!!! Can't wait to go back and try more!! read more

This is a lovely diner full of awesome colors. You'll find yourself looking at the walls more than your plate. The food was average diner cuisine. I have tried the fried catfish, the biscuits and gravy & the best fried pickles I've ever had! I only gave a 3 star rating because i feel as if this diner is more focused on how they look rather than they taste. read more

We have only been going to this restaurant for a couple months now. But we go several times per week in the early morning. Some of the staff is more friendly than others, as well as more attentive to things like refills etc. They serve the full menu even at breakfast time which is a huge deal to me because I usually want lunch items. The burgers here are really big and one of the best I have had in the area. I enjoy both the fries and the onion rings. The desserts are homemade and change often and are amazing. They are a little on the pricey side. I also an not a fan of their odd soda choices, they remind me of off brand sodas from the store. I stick with the sweet tea when I go. All in all the food is amazing here. read more

I want to love this place I really do but I dont. The wait staff is normally good but thats the end of the good. Its overpriced and not very good tasting food. Its all kind of bland fried food. Ive tried several things and its all kind of the same taste and texture. read more

Best meal! Best service! Hands down a small town feel with great personality! A must try. I love the fried mushrooms and tenderloin. The food is worth every dime. read more

Good service, good prices and quality food. It's a wonderful location and has that 50's and 60's ambiance.

We saw this little diner for the first time just a couple of weeks ago. Since we had time, we had to stop in this evening. We love trying local spots. The top rated tenderloin was plenty for two. Loaded sweet potato side was dessert in itself, but the carrot cake was over the top. An amazing experience & plenty of food for a very reasonable price. I plan to visit again when in Plainfield. read more

I look to find the best onions rings in any State and so far Oasis is by far the best I've had. Desserts, burgers, atmosphere is great!

If you ever want to cosplay as Sam and Dean from Supernatural, go to this diner and order a burger and slice of pie. "Plainfield, Indiana" will annotate the scene in white lettering and the camera will pan along the '50s decor and over Sam's shoulder to your face while you're eating, just like they do for Brad Pitt in all of his movies. You'll look sexy. I had the breaded pork tenderloin and crinkle-cut fries, both of which are delicious. The tenderloin had the same surface area as the sole of a Belgian draft horse's hoof, and I was so enamored with the crinkle-cut fries that I would crinkle-cut literally everything in my apartment if I could - table legs, utensils, memory foam bedding, all of it. You won't regret a visit here. But if Crowley shows up, don't try and exorcize him back to hell; that's just Mark Sheppard, and he is an actor. I mean . . unless he's cool with that. And, honestly, I can't imagine him not being cool with that because everyone on Supernatural is awesome. read more

Ambiance: Oasis is an original 1950's diner in Plainfield that was restored and relocated to its current location in 2014. It still retains its charm and is a nice break from your run-of-the-mill bar or IHOP-esque breakfast joint. I come here often with my in-laws and the staff have always been very friendly and accommodating of requests. Often they'll even offer to refill a to-go cup, give you extra sauces, and make small gestures that show they want you to enjoy your meal. Food: My favorite meal here is the pork tenderloin both in breakfast and sandwich form. It is consistently juicy and tender with nice crisp breading on the outside. Sometimes the sausage gravy can be too salty but other times it's great, when in doubt just order it on the side and scoop on as much as you need. I've also had the Reuben as well as lumbar jack breakfast both of which are solid choices without any flaws. The portions are massive and we usually end up having to box the leftovers. A single pancake must be a foot in diameter which be becomes an issue when you have multiple people getting pancakes and trying to fit them on a small 1950's diner table. I would highly recommend their house root beer which is delightfully fizzy and tastes somewhere between Mug and Barq's. You can even buy a growler and bring it home! Their sour dough and other breads are all made in-house in their full underground bakery and they frequently have desserts/pies to take home by the counter. Overall Oasis is always a good experience. They sell great diner food that is quite tasty, easy on the wallet, and always served with a smile. I'd highly recommend giving it a try if you haven't already. read more

I absolutely love diner food and this place is yummy! The breaded tenderloin is delicious and the breakfast choices are equally tasty, portions are generous and affordable. They have hand crafted sodas and milkshakes too. read more

I wasn't blown away by the place, especially after hearing all the reviews about it. Granted, this type of establishment is not available too many places nowadays and the location of the restaurant itself is just right. However, the facilities were not what I expected for something that would have been considered relatively new. (Our visit was in March of 2016 so things might have changed.) The first thing I noticed was that the dining room was very small. My party was placed in the back corner, next to a couple who kept staring at us. We were uncomfortably close and due to the size of the facilities, this couldn't have been avoided. It was a bit awkward. The next thing I noticed was the floors being extra sticky for some reason. Not uncommon for fast food, so, whatever I guess. It was a bit off-putting, admittedly. The salt and pepper shakers were coated in some type of grease and the napkin holders, ironically enough, demanded some attention. The portions were of average size considering the price. My party of 3 spent $42. We didn't have leftovers to take home, so I'm not sure this would be justified. (I wouldn't expect the general public to know that I'm notorious for having leftovers.) The service was also very slow. We were there just over an hour. We had nowhere to be so it wasn't a huge deal, but just something to note. Our waitress was friendly enough but did not offer any suggestions after we said we'd never dined before. She seemed frazzled to say the least. The food itself was somewhat bland. I ordered a burger and fries. My burger was dry and the fries were subpar. The highlight of the trip was the soda; it was their own brew, which was different, and it was very good. If I were to revisit for any reason, it would probably be that. My mother ordered a hot dog and fried pickles. The hot dog looked burnt. My father ordered the tenderloin. He had no complaints to note. Overall, the experience was somewhat disappointing given all of the hype. I would give this location another chance since it's been over a year and all of this could be different. read more

We stopped for a late Sunday lunch. The place was packed so we took seats at the counter. The wait staff was very friendly and quick to respond to any request or question. The menu had some local favorites and some Oasis specialty items!! The food was very tasty and served in large portions! Nothing fancy here, but great food and great service!!Will certainly return if in the area!! Highly recommend giving this place a try, but know it is a diner and not a fancy place!! read more

The Oasis Diner in downtown Plainfield is a unique area to eat and see the history of our area! Venue: This older, renovated, Diner was moved from the further west side of Plainfield to downtown in an effort to add a secondary eatery to the downtown area and it is a hit! The venue is new, offers the traditional diner experience and even has an outdoor patio area for the Summer time. Larger parties (8-10+) could prove difficult. Value: The price point is reasonable for all plates served here. Excellent on this front. Service: This venue tends to be understaffed and this is why it is receiving a 4 instead of 5 star review. The wait times are increased for service which could be a hindrance for some parties. Overall: recommend the stop for a unique experience! read more

Take your family here. The food is great (try the tenderloin for lunch,) and the homemade soda is amazing. This is a great little diner with history. read more

Not impressed with the tenderloin or the service. It seemed like it was dipped in batter instead of breaded and the batter fell off easily. Plus, it tasted like it was fried in old oil or the same oil fish had previously been fried in. It had a weird after taste. Service was also lacking. It was difficult to get the attention of anyone who worked there to get seated or to get silverware after my food was delivered. read more

Amazing diner. Nostalgic atmosphere, friendly fast service. Great tenderloin and, although not on menu, the disco fries rock!

I've been trying veggie omelets at local restaurants and today tried one here. The price seemed a bit high for just the entree and a piece of toast; potatoes are extra. After seeing the size of the omelet, and tasted it , I think the price is reasonable. The ingredients were fresh and quality! The roasted tomatoes really made it tasty! Maybe a second piece of toast would be nice, but no complaints. Service was great! I'll be back to try other items! Thanks! read more
