    We had four meals that all came out hot together. Wings were crispy with great flavors. The cheese steak wrap was tasteful with peppers, onions and a generous amount of steak. The staff were attentive and conversed during meal. Come enjoy a nice dinner with great people.

    Wings, wings and wings. Relaxed casual neighborhood bar with awesome wings. They are done perfectly. Crispy and a spot on Buffalo sauce. Wings are not frozen so are tender on the inside. Tap beer options could be better but there was a Fiddlehead IPA on tap. Fries were fine basic food service quality cooked right.

    Yesterday's frys.

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!!

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 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 Yes, its outdated and could use some TLC inside, but we went there for the delicious food, period.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.

We sat outside because we had one of the few nice days around here where it didn't rain. The food was good but the shameful part here is the servers and atmosphere. During our meal, they decided to deliver hops or something to their silo outside the building but right outside the seating area. It was horrendously loud to the point of being uncomfortable with a scratching rattling noise that was terrible. We had to shout. After about 10-15 minutes of this, we complained to our server who said there wasn't anything that could be done but it should be over soon. Not long afterwards, it started to quiet down and everyone on the patio started clapping and cheering and THEN IT STARTED BACK UP. Slightly less loud, but still requiring shouting back and forth at our small table. This went on for another 30 minutes. I asked for the manager, who again said there was nothing she could do and then gave us "free drink" chips we could redeem for a free drink on another visit. We dropped over $80 for the two of us on this visit and were nearly hoarse when done talking. Then, as we are leaving, we look at the chips that we were given for our "free drink" and it's for a COFFEE on the house!! Not even a real drink. Good grief. I may have said this last time, but if at all possible, I'll never come here again. The price/atmosphere equation is radically out of balance here.
