The Oasis

Made a visit to the Oasis back on June 17^th, heard about this gem on the side of Lake Travis and figured we check it out for the spectacular view below! We arrived around 2pm with no line or wait we were quickly seated to our table outside lake side. The server was friendly and introduced us to the menu. A photographer is on site and offers to take a couple of photos with Lake Travis behind us. The charge is $ 12 to obtain the photo for possession but hey it’s our first time and visit to Austin why not. The food was pretty good we ordered the queso which was alright had better elsewhere, as for the fajitas they were plentiful and flavorful and the rice was good not spanish rice though and the beans were ok. All in all for a first time visit it was an experience, probably make another visit in Austin in the future for a drink and appetizer this time. Highly recommend to people not familiar with Lake Travis to give this place a try it is truly an experience.

I think if you’re coming to the Oasis, you’re doing it for the views and not the food. I would hope that people understand this isn’t a Michelin starred restaurant, but rather a family friendly tourist spot. Keeping that in mind, it was a perfectly pleasant experience.
I didn’t expect it to be so large, but the place is HUGE. Only some of the dining areas were open on a Tuesday evening, but it was still very busy. The food was average, but not overpriced. For 4 adults and 2 toddlers, our bill came out to just around $ 100 – and that included drinks! The service was very friendly.
The views at sunset really are wonderful. Looking over the lake you might even be able to relax while ignoring the hundreds of other people around you.

The reviews for the Oasis are so mixed and I’m not helping to clear up the confusion.
There are so many good and bad things about this place that it’s hard to decide what to rate it.
The food — 2 stars
The view — 5+ stars (when there’s water)
The service — 3 stars (hit or miss)
The ambience — 4 stars (tourist trappy, but fun)
While the place has its flaws, it’s also a Travis County staple that you have to go see. At least once. Views, margs, and a good time await you!

The view was awesome! No wait, great customer service and our food was good.
I will be coming back again

I come here over and over solely based on the view. There is always an extremely long wait and the food is very mediocre. I always either order the cheese enchiladas or steak fajitas. Both pretty good but I have definitely had better. If anything I suggest The Oasis as a cool down margarita spot on the patio. Don’t waste your money on the food.

We read the reviews before we went today and were a little worried. I had been here years ago and was pleasantly surprised when we pulled up. They’ve made this stand-​alone restaurant into an outdoor «experience».
We came on a weekday for lunch and it wasn’t crowded at all. We had Mel (or Moe, we couldn’t hear him) as our server and he was awesome. He gave great service and we were pleased.
The queso was delicious and we split the fajitas. The chicken was bland, but that’s the only complaint (hence the 4 stars). Overall it was a great experience and I’m glad I took my husband there.

Good — view, entertainment, food
Bad — service, wait time, attitudes
It took 45 minutes to receive bottles of beer ordered from our waitress.
Queso came out with NO chips. Got chips 15 minutes later on my own.
Dinner plates came out with NO silverware, NO napkins, NO ketchup.
If you have a lot of time and don’t care about service, go to the Oasis.

WOW. The hubby and I decided to visit Austin and were told to go visit the Oasis. As we drove towards Lake Travis, I immediately started noticing and enjoying the surroundings. Surrounded by greenery and some beautiful houses, the Oasis is a fun destination and totally a must for those who visit Austin.
Whereas downtown Austin lives up to it’s ‘Dirty 6′ reputation of being somewhat grimy and overcrowded, Lake Travis and the Oasis was beautiful. The staff was super friendly and helpful, and were fast with food and drinks. There’s a huge selection of craft beer and tons of good eats — we opted for corn bites, beer queso, and the mixed vegetables which were absolutely delicious. The Oasis is a series of shops and restaurants — we went to the brewery, walked around and noticed a lot of shops are closed and vacant — so don’t set super high expectations.
The reason I’m giving this place a 5 is because of the fun time you can have on the patio. If the weather is nice outside, you HAVE to sit on the patio. It’s the view that’s totally worth it. My husband and I had so much fun hanging out, enjoying the fresh air, and having a few drinks in the sun. I can not wait to come back!

AMAZING VIEWS. Got chips and salsa, a couple of frozen drinks and we were good to go! Lots of fun décor to look at. I love places that take the time to show their uniqueness. As a tourist, this is a four for me.

I realize it’s Memorial Day weekend, but after waiting happily and patiently wandering around for about 2 hours, we were escorted past hoards of empty tables to be sat. Then… Out of quesadillas? Im no chef but I presume enchiladas and fajitas are roughly comprised of the same ingredients. Can’t do a blackened chicken breast sandwich; will have to charge for the $ 20 fish to blacken the chicken? Still waiting for the food we settled on, at 11:10 PM… Will have to update on that.
Should’ve stayed at the adjacent bar. Would’ve been much more satisfied with beer, frito pie, and a better view.
Ive lived here for 14 years & this will complete the first and last time I visit here. Glad I didn’t rush here sooner.
Update: we ended up leaving after waiting more than an hour for the few things we did order, after watching the large table beside us (who sat after us) get their food. They at least comped the meal *after* we got up to ask to speak to a manager (our server seemed to have written us off.) and boxed it up for us. Upon opening it up at home, the order was incorrect, soggy, and unremarkable.
That being said, the other establishments surrounding The Oasis are all just as scenic, and offer a much better experience.

Turn back now. You have been warned. This place used to be great. Then there was a fire. And still it came back. Now, however, it’s some awful Mexican version of the Hard Rock Café with a good view. And the view is spectacular. But that’s about it. The food is mediocre, the service is ok, and the drinks are awful. Every margarita is mix + (very little) tequila. And it’s expensive as hell. I was so excited to come back here after I moved away for a few years. I’ll never return. Oh — it was a 2 hour wait to boot.
Valet parking is $ 7 but we opted not to do this so we had to park about 0.5 miles away. After we finished eating there was a pretty decent thunderstorm so we got to walk back in the rain and lightning. This place was once great, now it’s a massive tourist trap.

⁴⁄₅ solid stars
This would be a GREAT venue for a large wedding party or huge event.
Unfortunately, if you’re a tourists, this place is pretty vacant. 98% of the tenants here have left and it is like a ghost town, like what the other Unilocalers have said; However, come for the gorgeous view!

Beautiful venue! Terrible service!
First time to The Oasis and came to a beautifully decorated entrance with spectacular views of Lake Travis. All from the comfort of a covered patio and fans blowing to ensure comfort.
Started off with chips and salsa which appears to be all home made. Chips were delicious and the salsa was as well and had a slight kick to it.
Took a while to get drinks, which was simply just water! I was seated promptly, but my order wasn’t taken for 20 mins! I was fed up waiting and was about to leave when a waiter finally noticed I wasn’t helped.
Salmon arrived and it was beautifully plated and it was quite delicious!
I overall enjoyed the meal, but I ran out of water and the waiter never came by to refill. The venue was wonderful. The service is however terrible! They need to overhaul this system to get rated better.

5 star views for sure. Food is pretty good also– your typical Tex mex fare. Our service was pretty great despite our large group size so that’s a plus also!
I ordered a margarita– my waiter wisely pointed out that I should upgrade to a gold margarita for only 5 cents more. It was a fantastic margarita.
For food, the chips and salsa to start out with were tasty. The house salad with chicken was a perfect light but satisfying meal for my health conscious self (just for that day though). I also had some of the quesadilla– you can’t go wrong with those.
Overall, food was yummy, views were better, and company made it the best experience. I recommend a visit!

Come for the view and stay for the food. No wait on second thought don’t stay for the food.
I’m not from Austin but every time I am in town, this is a MUST STOP. And it’s not because of the food. I mean you don’t have to read far into my review to know this. Just seeing the average rating will be sufficient. But stick around for the rest just for ticks and gigs.
So like I was saying, every time I bring family or friends to Austin we always come for the amazing view of the sunset. There is always a long wait around this time. The food at first was «decent» but this last time we came (last month) the chicken was so dry and lacked flavor. Tasted like a rubber chicken. The cool thing is you get a free souvenir. Get to take the plastic cup in which your drink comes in! Who doesn’t like a free souvenir??? Will I come again, I’m not going to lie and say I won’t just because that view is hard to come by. But I will definitely not be ordering the fajitas again. Maybe an appetizer only.

The views are spectacular. Just grab a drink and head to the section below, it looks closed but you’re allowed to take your drinks and hang there and watch the sunset.

I have to reluctantly review one of my favorite places on the lower side of things.
Avoid the food if you can. The mediocrity of their plates and the prices they’re sold at easily knocks off three stars. HOWEVER…
COME HERE FOR THE VIEW!!! This spot has an amazing vista of Lake Travis. Time your visit for a sunset treat, as well as after it has rained to see the lake in it’s all shining glory. This spot makes a perfect spot to take a date to, your mom’s first time seeing Lake Travis or if you just want to think and don’t mind the slightly long hill country drive here, then be my guest!

View: Its nice. Plan accordingly for sunset shots.
Service: Tommie did a great job for our party. For such a bustling joint, she really did her part and even surprised my dad with a free birthday treat.
Food: I already that feeling… but ordered the beef fajitas plate and nachos… nachos were ok. Cheesy stuff usually does the job. Extremely underwhelmed by the plate. Maybe my 2 bowls of cereal before leaving was a factor?
On the bright side, the flan was well received.

We had a really good experience here today. The view was spectacular, as always, but especially since the lake is near full now. We arrived right when they opened at 11:30, so we got a great table with a great view outside. The service was reasonably fast, and our drinks and appetizers arrived in an appropriate time. This isn’t always the case here, especially when it gets busy, but today was great.
We had the chicken diablos and chicken fire balls. The fire balls are Sriracha chicken bites with jalapeño ranch and they were good. The diablos were very good. They are chicken breast pieces with jalapeño strips wrapped in applewood smoked bacon, grilled and then drizzled with a tangy bbq sauce. Very tasty. I had the spicy chicken sandwich which was a grilled chicken breast dusted with chili spice and topped with bacon, pepper jack and lettuce, pickle and tomato on a pretzel bun. It comes with jalapeño ranch. I should have asked for their bbq to put on it. That would put this sandwich over the top.
Overall a very nice experience, which was refreshing after some previous experiences. We will come back for the view and the diablos and try some other things too.

We were super worried about having a bad experience because of all negative reviews. Frankly, we were just going to stop in for drinks and the view but ended up staying for dinner and had a great night.
The view is quite wonderful, I’d definitely recommend taking any friends or family that are visiting here. You’ll ‘ooh’ and ‘ahh’ at the view and mansions you’ll never be able to afford and it’s glorious.
Maybe we just got lucky (I hate to say that because I want to give Oasis the benefit of the doubt) or came on a good day, but from start to finish everything was great for us. The hostess was super friendly and walked up and down floors with us as we wanted a spot near the edge of the patios. Our waitress was very accommodating and attentive, getting us more salsa before we could ask and such. Our food was fine, perhaps not the $ 16 I spent on tacos fine, but I had no complaints taste wise. Drinks were great, my guava margarita was delish and the bf enjoyed his piña colada. Only real fuss was that the food took an incredibly long time to arrive, but our waitress acknowledged it and apologized wholeheartedly so we simply took in the view while we waited.
Would back back again for the view and definitely another marg!

Somehow my Hawaiian adventure also included a miniature tour of the great state of Texas. Yeehaw and hook ‘em! Actually I was super excited to get to go to Austin because my best friend went to UT and I’ve heard so many stories about this famed town over the years. I got a brief tour of downtown and a drive by of campus and we were off to Lake Travis. Wow! Talk about beautiful surroundings.
At this point in my tour of Texas, I wound up at the Oasis. The view is absolutely stunning. The Oasis is a three stories of patios overlooking the lake. The sunset is amazing. The phrase «God’s country» comes to mind. Everyone should go here and take lots of pictures. As for the food, drinks, and service, not so much. The fish tacos were mediocre. The margarita kind of sucked so I switched to Shiner. When in Rome, or Texas rather. Service was forgettable.
I’d definitely go back. Just next time, I’d stick to happy hour only.

The Oasis is the kind of place that you go to for the view– not the food. The evening I went the sky was truly gorgeous– with a hundred colors scattered across the horizon as the sunset over the lake. Make sure to book a reservation– especially if you want premium outdoor seating.
As for my meal, it was… okay. I ordered the chicken enchiladas with rice and beans. I’ve definitely had better. For the quality and quantity the entrees are overpriced. Of course, it’s the view that you’re really paying for and that makes up for the lack of gourmet food.
In short– if you want a delicious meal there are a hundred better options in Austin. If you want to enjoy a meal with a view– the Oasis is your place.

I am happy to report a great experience. Loved my chicken lettuce wrap, messy but they brought me wipes. Gorgeous sunset.

If it weren’t for the views and pleasant staff, this would be one-​star (only because I couldnt leave a zero-​star review)
Décor is pretty tacky. Dining rooms are very loud, even at ¼ full. Menu is pretty boring and over-​priced. Food is even worse — my wife’s burger was over-​cooked and full of inedible pieces. They comped the half-​eaten burger but no discount or offer to remedy.
Definitely disappointed given how well-​known this place is. I *might* come back for a drink, but if I really want the view, I’d check out the brewery next door first.

PLEASANTLY SURPRISED FROM SAN ANTONIO… went for the 1^st time yesterday and heard some not so nice things about the well know Oasis but visiting from San Antonio i had to see for myself. Truth be told the view alone was worth it. The drinks were good! We ordered appetizers (nachos which are hard to mess up & bacon wrapped chicken YUM!). The total bill for 2 was $ 52 not bad! Our waitress was GREAT! Our food came out relatively quick and we were tended to accordingly. Wish i knew her name. I’d definitely go back.

Austin Party Band .com loves to perform here
Can’t go wrong with the scenery and the staff is great too

Pros — beautiful view, friendly staff
Cons — Overpriced food and drinks. I got a fruit margarita and a salad. The salad wasn’t even that good. Salad dressing was on the side with cucumbers, tomatoes and croutons plus $ 6 extra for shrimp. The total came out to be around $ 30 after tax. Kinda expensive for a light lunch.
Overall, I’d come here again for a drink.

Great view, but that’s where the greatness ends. Food is not good and service is just ok.

The view from our table was great but the mexican martini was all olive juice and we sent it back. The queso was just velveeta with a dab of tomato. The fajita shrimp small tiny shrimp not very flavorful and the beef fajitas was a tiny portion. If I revisted I would not eat but spend my time at the winery.

We just stopped in on our way somewhere else. Was greeted with smiles and kindness promptly. We only had dessert and it was yummy. The prices are no different than most places. The view is amazing. Would recommend this restaurant to my family and friends. I’m a native born Texan. This was a very pleasant adventure.

Cool place… but it’s a tourist attraction. NOT a solid reteraunt. The food is moderate, but if you live in Austin it’s not a place you want to go regularly.

It has all been said. The view is pretty good by Austin standards, but only ok if you’ve been to a pretty city. In truth, it’s kinda sad that such a great spot is taken by such a poor restaurant.
Let’s do the math: Beverages served in plastic kiddy-​cups plus 10 bucks for the worst queso in Texas plus 24 more for 6 «shrimp diablo» with a scoop of rice and carrots equals don’t friggin bother.
My advice: If you go for the view, hit the brewery. It has the better view anyway, and though the beer is none too outstanding, it does leave room to devour some quality eats once you get back to town.

Two stars only for the location. Perfect lake views. Good server but equally bad food. I ordered chicken spicy sandwich. Frozen chicken that tasted so hard when i tried to chew it. It had that frozen crunch texture to it. For this perfectly located restaurant with million dollar views, it is a very below average food they are offering. They should call robert Irvine who can come overhaul the restaurant. I will come here for views again and a beer. But no food for me at this restaurant.

Everyone told me The Oasis has the best view in Austin. My boyfriend and I spent the weekend in Austin and came here to check out the much raved view that this place had to offer. We also decided to grab some lunch too while we were there. This restaurant is huge! The hostesses weren’t really friendly when we arrived. They just let us stand there while they walked around. No one acknowledged us. After a good while, we were led to a table outdoors.
ATLANTIC SALMON– chile dusted salmon, char-​grilled with sweet potato cakes and sauteed vegetables, topped with a crawfish cream sauce
The salmon was overcooked and bland. The seasoning was off because there was no bold flavors. I wanted something flavorful, but I was given a dish that was just a disappointment. The crawfish sauce did not do much for the dish. It had a lumpy consistency and did not taste like crawfish.
SOUTHWESTERN LETTUCE WRAPS– fresh lettuce cups, diced grilled chicken, black bean and corn salsa, fresh avocado, and sweet chile dressing
The lettuce wraps was the worst thing I’ve ever eaten! The flavors were bland and one noted. I thought the sweet chile would add some sweet or spicy addition to the dish, but it didn’t. The corn salsa didn’t have that crunch that I would’ve liked and the chicken also didn’t have much flavoring to it either.
Overall, this place was a huge disappointment. They did have a nice view, but it’s not worth the drive nor the money to dine just to get a look at some water and houses in the horizon. I’ve had fast food that tasted better and had more flavoring. Never again!

Taking the average of my two experiences at Oasis. The first time, our server was really great, the family thought the food was pretty good, and we sat outside with a nice view. This was for lunch.
Yesterday we drove back again for dinner. It was 4:30pm, the wait was an hour, which was fine, we didn’t call ahead. We caught the sunset after walking around the entire building. Eventually, my family of four was seated at an eight person table in a cavernous event hall! It was like huddling in a dark corner of an unused warehouse. There was poor lighting and we couldn’t face each other. We asked to be seated at a four person table, and they moved us to a high bar table… with impossibly low chairs. We left because no one had treated us warmly, there was no view inside or outside, and the prices did not reflect the experience we were getting. As we left we saw another couple complain about poor service and leave too.

The Oasis as to be one of the biggest disappointments in Austin. Great view and the drinks are good, but the quality of the food is very very poor.
We have eaten here on 3 separate occasions, the first time was mediocre but acceptable. The second time was poor but we thought we may have just caught the chef on a bad day so we gave it one more chance.
The last time (and it will be the last time) the steak fajitas were barely edible, the waitress agreed to replace the meat but the fresh serving was equally bad. Clearly we were being charged a high price for poor quality low grade meat — meat we would think twice about before giving to our dog.
By all means visit The Oasis to enjoy the views, especially at sunset, but stick to the drinks menu and not the food.

I must say that I had such high expectations for this place since I had friends that raved about this place. I even throw from Houston to Austin to go visit this restaurant. Upon arriving to the restaurant, we were told that the wait would be an hour and a half to two hours. We said no problem, will enjoy the view. Unfortunately, it turns out that all the doors were locked to the exterior, therefore we couldn’t even enjoy the view.
When we were finally seated, it literally took 35 minutes to get our drinks to the table. I noticed this place only places a fork in your silverware package. I use a knife when I eat in order to avoid using my fingers to push food onto my fork, which is what most well mannered people will do. I asked the waitress for a knife, to which he answered knives only come with the entrees that require a knife! Imagine that! Since I ordered a burger, I guess I didn’t warrant having a knife.
The prices at this restaurant are among the most expensive that I have seen for this level of food. I ordered a hamburger that was served to me in a plastic basket like if I was visiting Dairy Queen, but unfortunately this sub-​par hamburger cost me $ 13.95! If you wanted to add a couple of slices of jalapeño it would cost you another $ 2! The fries were extremely cold and leathery, and to be honest with you this hamburger and fries combo was not even on par with Whataburger. My wife’s entre consisted enchiladas that look like they came out of a frozen TV dinner, and without exaggeration came with about 3 tablespoons of rice and 1 tablespoon of guacamole for the bargain price of $ 13.95. Oh and by the way, this place has the distinct honor of having the most expensive sodas I’ve ever seen in a restaurant before! Each soda costs a whopping $ 3.50!!!
Not considering the view and where we were at I could understand getting a galaxy on prices for the location. The food quality was horrendous but what made this experience worth was the fact that it took over an hour for our food to come to the table! No exaggeration! I gently tried to hint to the waitress by asking her «how’s everything going in the kitchen» to which she responded I don’t know I’m not allowed to go into the kitchen! The poor waitress didn’t even understand what I was alluding to!!!
To sum up the review I would say that this place without exaggeration is probably one of the three or four worst restaurant that I have ever been to. He cost for this level of food are ridiculous, the service is horrendous, and I am frankly surprised that this place is still in business. I would recommend that you come to look at the sites, but please stay away from the food. Do yourself a favor go to Whataburger, and get a $ 5 cheeseburger that will blow this $ 14 hamburger away! This place is awful!

Average food and slow service.
I definitely wouldn’t recommend.
Great view! And I understand it’s cold, but at the of my meal I wanted to look at the view, but the doors were locked.
I was definitely disappointed due to it being a late birthday dinner and won’t be back.

Incredibly average food. I’ve been going there since the mid 80’s when it was a easy going place for burgers and a cold drink after a day of boating on the lake. I’m a 2^nd generation native Austinite so I’ve seen this place from the beginning.
This haberdashery has ballooned into an art gallery, meeting place, shopping mall, brew pub, wedding venue, gift-​shop and multi-​tiered restaurant and guess what? They still serve watered down drinks, mediocre food and poor service. We only take friends there because they’ve heard of it.
Go enjoy the sunset, it’s free for now until they can figure a way to charge you for it.

Probably the best part of Oasis is its location and the wonderful view. I think all that is good about the place ends there. No one greeted us as we entered and we strolled to one of the tables by the lake. A waitress turned up after 10 minutes and told us that it was a table for 6 while we were just 4, so we would have to move to another spot. I couldn’t really find any justification since only about a quarter of the tables were full and it could hardly make a difference. If they have such seating restrictions, then they should seat customers when they enter. The cocktails were just about average and the service slow. I will probably be back here only for the view.

This place gets 4 stars for the view on its own! Such a relaxing place for lunch or dinner. Food is good but nothing spectacular — however, we came for lunch so it’s finger food for the most part. I had the texas bbq brisket sandwich which I do recommend! I would come back again ;)

This is an ideal place to sit on a balcony with friends and enjoy a cocktail, especially at sunset, when the view is spectacular. The place is perched right on the lip of Lake Travis… with the right angle for the sunset.
On the other hand, the food is just ok. The drinks were good, but the brisket sandwich was a little fatty and just middle of the road.
Still a great place to hang.

I feel like I need to show The Oasis some love. Poor thing. This was my 2^nd time here — the first time was actually in the evening during the dark so I couldn’t see much lol
I brought my sister and her family here since it was their first time in Austin and even though it was busy there wasn’t a long wait. The view was great and I even enjoyed their margarita and veggie burger.
The Oasis is such a great place for first timers to Austin or even locals. I hope that they keep improving on the food.

What to add here? You really shouldn’t be coming here for the food. But the way everyone talks about it, they make it sound like it’s the worst food ever made in the universe. I’ve been here 4 times I think in the last 2 years and I feel like they have a different cook each time. The last time I was here, the food wasn’t bad at all. Just calm down people, yes it’s unjustly overpriced but there’s no other place nearby with this view and atmosphere so factor that in. The Texas Red Fish was enjoyed by my party. The Grilled Shrimp Taco’s were okay but coulda used a bit more shrimp. I couldn’t eat solid food at the time so I tried the watermelon soup. It was interesting but I wouldn’t recommend it.
Last time, the waitress was nice enough but very slow in filling out and refilling throughout the evening and checking up on us.
Their hours are iffy and sometimes they stay open later if there are a lot of people so it doesn’t hurt to call and ask when they are closing and if there’s a wait time.
Overall, take your overpriced food and enjoy the view and atmosphere with good company. You’ll only be coming over here when you have out of state visitors anyway.

This place was conflicting for me. The view was breath-​taking, yet the food left something to be desired.
My party came in at 1130 and were sat immediately without a wait in one of the «lower» decks outside. On our way down to the table, the views of the lake made me stumble down a few steps, and this was before I had cocktails. Really, it’s gorgeous. Our table however, was blocked by tree tops so it defeated the purpose of our dining at the restaurant. The staff were warm, and so were our mimosas unfortunately. Were these drinks just sitting somewhere at the bar waiting on someone to order them? It’s alright, as their salsa was addicting and I ate two basketfuls of chips with it.
It took approximately 45 minutes for our food to arrive, and with the Texas heat and no breeze, we were ready to toss children and small mammals over the balcony from anxiety and anger. My girlfriends ordered brunch (Belgian waffles, French toast, American bacon, and mixed-​nationality fruit) which were hefty portions. I had two shrimp tacos with charro beans and a side of guacamole. A minuscule portion for the $ 14 charge.
Warning: they do not split checks (against company policy blah blah blah) so if you’re dining with a big party, either bring cash or some baller has to pay for the entire table.
After lunch we climbed up several flights of stairs to finally experience the full view of the lake. Though we were there in the middle of the day, I can understand why this area is nicknamed the «Sunset Capital of Texas.»
I’ll be back for the view. Forget the overpriced, mediocre tasting food/​cocktails.

I think to visit one time is ok. It’s a restaurant with many places to seat inside or outside but we needed to wait almost 45 minutes to seat. Many people there everywhere. Menu is poor and food is not good. Actually nothing special. Staff is not friendly.
I’m giving 2 stars just because setting and landscape is amazing. This is the only thing that made our visit worth it! They also have a cute store and we bought some gifts there!
I can’t understand why a place like that is not good. What a pity because if service was good I could be back to drink a beer seeing the landscape and the lake there!

Very mixed reviews here and on the Oasis Texas Unilocal page. We came here on a recommendation and surprised after reading the reviews here and on the other Oasis page (
). Our experience was not like the awful experiences posted by so many.
We were here mid-​May out on a day trip with my in-​laws that recently moved to the area (we were visiting). Our experience with service was fantastic. No issues with the food or wait times. I realize that we were here at a time when things were a bit slower than when in-​season. That said, I can say that the staff appeared to care and were attentive. If this VERY large venue had a full house, I can imagine that it can be overwhelming for the floor and kitchen staff. If there are issues here, I’d suspect it’s management, not the staff.
There were 7 of us for lunch. We were sat quickly and even moved (on request, no issues) to a table away from direct sun. The food was good and I heard no complaints from our group. It wasn’t fabulous. It was good.
The service was great. The view is fabulous. The structure is immense. Very cool iron art placed about including the diver coming from the side of the building. I bet this place gets really warm in the evenings as the sun sets… which I hear is amazing to watch.
