Great Oasis Grill & Bar

Really good service and the food was good. The pulled pork is a little bland and dry, but the beer cheese and other offerings were actually much better than expected. The spicy cauliflower was delicious. Cool atmosphere and love seeing a good lunch/dinner place in South BA. Will be back!

My husband and I visited the restaurant for the first time on 2/8/20. We'd read the mostly favorable reviews and decided to give it a try.

We arrived between the lunch and dinner crowd and were pleasantly surprised, not by just the cordial and attentive staff, but the excellent quality of the food for the price.

I ordered the palm salad with coconut chicken and cauliflower bites, while my husband had the Italian cheese steak sandwich. Both of our meals were served quickly, very fresh and delicious.

My salad had lots of crisp greens, mangoes, pineapples, grape tomatoes, cucumber, candied walnuts and of course, the delicious and crispy, coconut chicken. Although I didn't sample it, my husband said his Italian cheese steak sandwich and fries were (as he told our waitress) 'awesome!' (something I rarely hear him exclaim at any restaurant we frequent). He remarked that it had lots of flavor and while sausage is by its nature, greasy, there wasn't an overabundance of grease. There were an abundance of onions and peppers, plus the french fries tasted homemade.

We read the negative reviews and of course, considered them before we went. At least our experience ranked high up there with the mostly positive reviews and we do intend to go back. For those who weren't overly impressed their first visit, you might give it another chance. We've found that many new restaurants (even chain ones) can sometimes be hit-or-miss until they find their bearings. Personally, we hope the Great Oasis Grill & Bar stays around.
