The place looks alright from the outside. When my husband and I entered, we were promptly taken to our table. We had to stand there for a couple minutes as the bus person was cleaning off the table. I would have preferred that the hostess checked on the table status BEFORE walking us over to it. There were broken chips and forks, as well as other trash scattered by our table and the ones adjacent to it. We barely saw our waiter the entire time we were there, 2 other staff members delivering our drinks and appetizer. The drinks were served in plastic cups. One waiter pinched another waiter's nipple and another couple members of the staff play around, one of them knocking the other into a barstool. The staff seemed young, maybe high school or college aged. I think the lack of professionalism is obviously due to poor management. We left enough cash to pay for what we ordered and walked out. Absolutely awful restaurant. We won't be back. read more

Awful. We waited 90 minutes for a table- ok, UT grad weekend, I understand. We even supported some cool local businesses in the development. The food? I WOULDNT KNOW. Why? After waiting ANOTHER 90 minutes (after being seated) we were told it wasn't going to be ready for quite some time. Really? It's freaking fajitas and a burger. Excuses, but seriously. You have a facility apparently designed to serve thousands. Pull it together, Oasis. read more

Good view of sunset, but less than impressed with food or selection. Bad service..had food spilled on me by the server and didn't even get a sorry. Restaurant is unable to split checks at all which is a pain for a large group. Wouldn't come back or recommend read more

Super over priced a d horrible service. Waited for an hour and 20 minutes for food then didn't have a fork and was worthless trying to get any staff attention. Won't go back. read more

Great price great food great atmosphere. Simple as that. Becasue yelp wants more words because the software demands it, I wrote this sentence as well read more

Yes the view is awesome, but the food was so good and abundant as well. Amber was our waiter and her service was the best!!! Definitely coming back soon. read more

First time to Oasis in over 15yrs. The place was amazing .Its enormous and very lively . Kinda like it better when it was smaller but no complaints. The bestest waitress ever Kelsey. She should be head of PR. Would definitely return. read more

Tequila Selection and prices are outrageous. Even with the view it is not worth it. If you self park be careful to not get run over by a school bus. No stop sign to protect you while you cross the street. read more

The view lost it's power in about 20 mins. which is how long it took to get one of their so-called famous Rita. Bit crowded as one would expect and the wait was...well, expected but had a good time getting hammered over looking Lake Travis during sunset, ahhhhh the good ol days. read more

Its summer , so Oasis is undoubtedly the place to be. The atmosphere , view , lake , sunset , people , and food support the expectancy if seeking a night of relaxation. read more

Great scenes and time but for a week day, 45 minute food time is in called for, food came out dry and seemed it sat for a while. Not the best experience, didn't complain because our waitress already seemed overwhelmed by the small crowd read more

Not my favorite. Best thing is the view. Food is not good in my opinion. Drinks even worse. I only get bottled beer here because there is no way for them to screw that up. I usually only go here with tourists who drag me along. read more

It's too bad, but the food just doesn't cut it and the service is always consistently slow. I know it is popular for the view, but every time I come out I tell myself not to come back. read more

In my opinion, you go for the environment, not the food or fast service. But honestly, it's worth it. Have a few drinks, dance, enjoy the view. It's worthwhile to try it at least once, despite the wait. read more

We had intended to return to the brewery next door that we had been to over the weekend, but it was closed. We knew we were taking our chances at the Oasis, as is very spotty on food and service. The odds were not in our favor this time. The service was awful. I ordered a house margarita and was served a Perfect margarita (more $) and it was far from perfect. Our waiter told us the house margarita was awful and I'd be so much happier. Nope. The food was mediocre, as usual. It's just not worth the money or the wait. read more

Waitstaff messed up our bill for a party of 25. We were there to celebrate a college graduation. We wanted one check for 25. We had 25 ppl (kids, adults, seniors) spread out among 3 tables. They split the bill among 3 tables and assigned a waiter per table. Each waiter just cared about their own table and their own bill. They put the bill on each table and said here you go, this is the total for my table as long as you guys pay that amount that is all I care about. We had all 9 kids at one table, cmon! This should have been obvious that approach wasnt going to work. Some of the people didnt understand this whole confusing thing so they handed the waiters cash for themselves and for their kids and the waiters just applied it to the bill they were responsible for. It took 30 minutes to resolve this, with the manager refusing to run the credit cards for some people bc $60 was supposedly short. They claimed a 70 yr old lady was lying about paying $60 cash. It was ridiculous. So finally all the credit cards were run and my charge came back only $38. When it should have been closer to $100. The mgr says ok well we have all the money now and I say wait, I still owe you more. I told him well you obviously recieved the $60 in cash then and applied it to my portion. He had no words for this. The whole thing was ridiculous. Food wasnt bad and scenery was great but the staff missed the big picture here and was unprofessional. The graduate's husband actually said calmly " look we are Christian people but the way you are treating ppl is just wrong, I am gonna pray for you guys"...to which the mgr just snickered at. They never said they were wrong or sorry, only the general mgr did who we met when leaving. read more

Amazing place for enjoying sunset views! Not sure about the food quality but the PIÑA COLADAS are amazing!!!!!

Worth the drive. Worth the wait. The view is spectacular and the food we ordered was delicious. I'm glad we ignored the negative reviews and tried it for ourselves. read more

I brought out of town guests for the sunset and to have dinner and dance in the upstairs bar. We were never waited on! We tried flagging waitstaff down on several occasions to no avail. Stood in a very long line for drinks... An hour or more passed.... Still not waited on. A manager happened by and we advised him on situation. He apologized and said he would address it. 30 minutes later... Still no server. Unbelievable incompetent. I won't bring out if town guests there ever again. We never were waited on - an hour and 45 minutes in. Left to find dinner. Elsewhere.... read more

This review is based on only my last visit. I have been here many times and haven't experienced this kind of worst service before. We had this server named "KHALID", who seemed to be not interested in doing his job at all, forget about decency. We placed the order for drinks and were waiting for chips and salsa, which I don't think we ever asked for it, they usually bring it on your table without asking. Well, he never brought it and disappeared for 15-20 minutes, So we asked another server if he can get it for us. So Mr. Khalid came to us with the chips and salsa and rudely says "You have to ask for it, we are not like other Mexican restaurants where they give it without asking" and when I told him we never asked for it anytime before then he says its some servers usually do that. Alright, if you never ask me if I want it, how the heck I am supposed to know you have it or not in the kitchen. After that I saw I'm sweeping the floor without gloves and I don't think he washed his hands before serving anything to other tables, seeing that we didn't even think of ordering food. Even his t shirt had some food stuck on his back. Long story short, I found it unhygienic and worst service only on that day. Most of the time the service was good. read more

Not good at all. Nice views. Ordered a mojito expecting something refreshing, instead got sprite and rum with mint thrown in. When asked why my mojito tasted like straight sprite I was told by management that they use sprite to give it flavor! That's gross!! I've never ever had a mojito with sprite. And to pay $8 bucks for this was a complete rip off. Not to mention their prices on food is outrageous and service sucks! read more

While half of my friends were seated looking at the lake, the other half of us were stuck looking into the restaurants dish pit. If you're dying to check out the view, go for a beer and make dinner plans elsewhere. The food is overpriced and unappealing. read more

What a waste, and what a great example of a business taking advantage of their customers. If you charge $15 for a Puestra del Sol margarita, I think I can expect some quality. Absolute garbage. And an attempt to make the guacamole look like it wasn't scooped out of a vat would be appreciated, but if the quality could get better, that would take precedent. The view was clouded over this weekend, and apparently that's the sign for the staff to quit trying. I love watching members of the line staff hang out with everyone on the floor while they are still in their trashed clothing. The thing that still stands out is the $15 terrible margarita. What a slap in your customers faces. Either hire staff that can make your specialty drinks properly, or up the quality, but at $15, I think perfection can be expected. Absolute garbage. Planned on enjoying a cold rainy day at your establishment. Left after 1 drink and some guacamole because I was so disappointed. Went across town to a chilis and drank platinum president margaritas for $9 a piece and was happy about it because they were twice the quality. What a joke. read more

I wasn't as hungry when I came here so I decided to get a house salad with shrimp and there was something about the salad I really didn't like. Im not sure how you can mess up on a salad but I only ate the shrimp and left it. The chips that we started off with were definitely stale. Best view I've seen in Texas but queso was $11 with tax. The bowl was as big as my palm, not cool. The only reason I gave two stars is one for our awesome waiter and one for the view. Food sucks read more

We all know the oasis is a fabulous, one of kind location. The administration must be very difficult. On Sunday nights, you have developed a quasi "salsa" night. Not a true salsa night because there is more than salsa played. All clubs benefit from misleading the public this way. Advertise "Bachata" night and see how many people show up. Oasis, on Sunday nights, benefits from this successful "Salsa" event by the food sales, the alcohol sales and more. I think we can agree that the combination of the location, the music, food and alcohol attribute to the successes of Sunday night. Correct?. Well you are about 40 percent correct in your assumption. You have forgot one crucial part: Salsa Dancers! Yes, the dancers are an integral part of the success. With that said . I find that your establishment is ignorant to this fact. Let me explain why: 1. You have table and chairs on the dance floor. A dance floor is a dance floor, not a place to sit or have foot stools. 2. There is no management of the dance floor. Kids are running around everywhere. Amazing, a place that lets kids run around and act crazy. This is not possible any where else but here. Is this a playground ? Are you insured as a playground ? 3, You have no concern for the condition of the floors either inside or out side. the floor is like glue upstairs and outside you have a wood deck ! You have police but they do absolutely nothing about the smokers, even thought there is a sign that says "no smoking". 4. People are bringing in their own alcohol because your prices are to high. These people do nothing but act a fool because they are getting drunk. 5. The service during the salsa event is hit or miss. We have money to spend, but not if there is horrible service. 6. Sunday night is not an experiment; increase the size of the dance floor. remove a few tables! 7. Stop the "dance lessons. All the locals or any individuals that are true "Salseros" simply leave for 30 minutes. Why would anyone stop the momentum to learn quasi salsa lessons? The dance lessons should be before NOT in the middle of a salsa event. 8. Use a Salsa DJ when the band takes a break! People came to DANCE. Not a soul, learns anything helpful in 30 minutes of "quasi" dance lessons. 9. The stairs leading up to the 3rd floor are showing wear and tear and are not up to code. "IRC" 10. Clean out the vases on the stairs they are filled with trash. 11. Create a different route to get to the exterior salsa band outside. No one knows they are out there 11. Create a special section on your web page with information about salsa night. In reality whether you like it or not on Sunday, Salsa is the reason they are there. 12. Open Sunday night to other bands. The Brew are established, this doesn't need to be proven to me. However, the songs and format are old. I could go back 5 years in time and they would still being playing the same songs. I know other bands have filled in, but there are still other bands that are available. 13. Book salsa performance shows when the band takes a break. People came to see the View, whether it be the lake or "Dancers". The above points of concern are minimal operating standards that exist around the world and are being neglected at Oasis. I hope consideration is given to correct the above defects . read more

I' am literally sitting here getting bad service! We weren't offered chips and salsa, took our "waitress", oh about 15-20 mins to take our order... On a Sunday evening! Honestly it deserves less than 1 star, I'd skip this place altogether! Don't even come here for the drinks, because they suck, and the drive back to 6th St is too far; yuck! Btw that's just their service, not including the mediocre, semi-warm, tasteless "food". The only thing "worth" seeing is the view; that's all folks! read more

You've seen the reviews and its true. The food is mediocre, the drinks are below par, but the views are fantastic. Unfortunately, the view is not what it used to be since poor Lake Travis is reverting to the Colorado River. read more

Expect nice view of the lake and sunset (weather permitting), but nothing else. Then you won't be disappointed by the lousy service and bothered by the hour(s) long wait for a table, then more hour(s) long wait for your mediocre drink/food. It is very clear that they have so much business that customer service and quality food is at the bottom of their priority list. read more

The view is amazing and the place has so much potential but too bad the food is just terrible (i m not even a picky eater). Tables dont get cleaned after patrons leave and is just disappointing. Definitely a tourist trap. I wonder how many locals actually come here. The alcohol was water downed. I ordered a margarita (which is what they advertise as what they are known for) but it tasted like it was poured straight from those pre-mixed bottles. read more

The drinks suck, the food sucks, the service sucks. It's literally just a cool building with a great view.

We ordered the guacamole, spinach enchiladas, and the combo plate. The food had a good flavor, on par with most Tex-Mex restaurant. The service...well, the service was not what I'd expect. The member of the wait staff did not refill our drinks (tea and a soda) the entire time and did not follow up to see how the food was after it was delivered. read more

Great view and location.....that's where it ends. We waited an hour for our appetizer and 45minutes after that, our meal still had not arrived. So after nearly 2 hours with only an app and a drink, we left. Very disappointing. read more

Food was blah.Service poor. Restaurant overcrowded. Nice view of the lake, but I expect decent food at least. This place has such huge potential, but seems very mismanaged. read more

The view is amazing- the food and service not so much. I was willing to wait for a table, and having worked in the service industry I get things can get hectic, but raw chicken in my sandwich that took over an hour to bring out was not good food or service. They did no offer to bring out a new one, and even if they did I would have been there another hour. I suggest sticking to drinks. read more

The band Hot Sauce was great!!! The food and service was not. We had to give our waiter our cc to hold. He claimed the manger required it since someone had skipped out and not paid there bill. I was there to support my sister who sings in the band so I complied. Besides that I would have left. The wedding coordinator was rude to us. We got mixed up and arrived in the events side and a wedding was going on. OMG she acted as if me, my daughter, and grandmother were bagabums crashing the wedding.SMH read more

The view was amazing & a must see! We got there just in time for the subset. However, the service is absolutely horrible. We had to wait forever for everything. The salsa was bland & we ordered the nachos which were just average. read more

There was very bad food cold and over cooked. The service was very slow and not friendly. And the view was overrated

Went to this place to celebrate my graduation....most horrible restaurant experience I have EVER had. Twenty-five of my close family and friends came to celebrate with me and the two servers were horrible. Tori and a male server mixed up our orders and were very rude! When it came time to pay we all divided the tickets and paid. My mother paid with cash, $56 and they claimed she did not pay. Problem is that she paid in cash and we could not prove it. The server then became irritated and spoke to my 65 year old mother in the most disrespectful way. I am so sad to say that they did not correct their mistake and we will no longer be returning to this establishment! read more

The ONLY good thing about this place is the view of the lake. My hubby is a long-time Austin local, and had warned me about the service and low food quality, but we thought what the heck, let's give it a try. Now granted, we went on a Saturday at about noon, but it wasn't at all crowded so we thought we'd have some luck being served. We even got an outside table with great views! After waiting 10 minutes for a server, I asked one of the 5 staff that had whizzed by our table (without even acknowledging our presence) to see if we could order drinks. He promised to send our waiter over immediately. Another 10 minutes passed, so I asked yet another server to take our order. She, without even breaking stride, said she'd tell our waiter. After another 5 minutes, we simply gave up and left. On our way out, I saw a gaggle of staff all hanging out at the front desk (six or seven of them). The manager was just walking up to them saying "come on people, let's move!" Clearly there's a management problem here, and a staff of young 'uns who don't know jack about service. Don't go to this place unless you're there to drink, and unless you don't mind getting your own drinks at the bar. We didn't try that, so I can't say if that service would be any faster, lol! If I could give them zero stars, I would. read more

It is Tuesday June 23. Waited an hour to get a table. Another hour waiting for our dinner. People around us getting there orders first. A marg and a lite beer were only $12. read more
