The service was friendly, the beer selection was broad, the prices were reasonable and the pizza was very good. A nice welcoming ambience overall.

I had a custom Italian sausage, mushroom, & black olive pizza. Good selection of beers on tap. 4 HDTVs and lots of seating.

this place has decent burgers. The beer selection is average at best. It can only be accessed easily by car. The juke box is always too loud. If you crave a good burger in a non-beery environment, head over to the peninsula creamery or The Counter. If you really do want to watch the game with a budweiser and a... More

If you enjoy hanging out with students in a crowded beer and burger joint that has been there for decades, try The Oasis.

I stopped here with friends after an event to grab a snack and beer. I hadn't been to the Oasis since the mid '60's so I didn't know what to expect. Still the same great food and still has roasted peanuts on the tables. Plenty of good brew on tap as well...

I usually get some form of the cheeseburger (the Big Kahuna, with grilled onions on a French roll, or the Old Timer, a burger with pastrami, are great options). But the dirty little secret about "the O" is that almost all of their items are delicious. The Philly cheesesteak or chicken Philly are both great alternatives to the burger. The... More

I have been coming to this bar to get their hamburgers since my freshman year at Menlo College in 1981. When ever I am in the Palo Alto area - i make it a point to go to Oasis and grab a burger. While the burger does seem different from 31 years ago - it is still excellent. A great... More

This is a Stanford hang-out with some of the best burgers on the peninsula. It is loud and dark, but that adds to the fun.

The Oasis has been around forever, well, at least since I first frequented the place back in the mid-1970s. The atmosphere is terrific, the beer is cold, and the food is always consistent. I wouldn't rate the food as top-notch but certainly not untasty. Go for the Polish sausage! I always visit for a meal whenever I'm in the Bay... More

Met with a friend at the Oasis for a quick burger and meeting. Always a pleasure to get a patty melt and fries. My friend's burger was mouthwatering. Atmosphere is perfect for guys or gals after a game. Used to be a regular spot for lunches.
