Great Oasis Grill & Bar — Restaurant in Broken Arrow

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...

Unimpressive menu and bland food.

We came here hopeful for a new close to home favorite, but don’t plan to return. Our service was great, however the food was not.

We ordered two kids Mac n cheeses with Mac n cheese as the side on one and fruit for the other. The portion was decently sized for a kids meal. The Mac n cheese lacked flavor though, even with adding salt and pepper it was subpar. The fruit salad was the equivalent of canned fruit cocktail.

The other child’s entree was cheeseburger sliders. The fries with this entree were decent, the slider was not great. Our daughter said she couldn’t taste the meat for the bread because it was such a thin patty.

We also ordered adult cheeseburgers and chicken strips. The cheeseburgers were to be medium well but instead came out well done and dry. My chicken strips were bland, and the ranch I got to dip had a very tangy flavor. My favorite part of my meal was the baked potato I had as a side.

I also disliked how everything was an up charge. I understand the cost associated with adding cheese or loading a baked potato but it’s a lot to track when feeding a large group.

Thought I got a picture of more of the food but...

It's pretty bad, walking in the door you do not smell food cooking at all, it smells old a musty and damp. it was steak night and the steak had grill marks on it but I know it wasn't cooked on the grill because you don't smell the grill at all the steak is rubber and chewy and was cold the loaded baked potatoe was gray in color and hardened the cheese was pretty melted and had a few crumbs of bacon and had a pool of liquid standing in the center of potatoes you could tell they were made several days ago prefixed nothing was fresh except the side of okra which was very good. I couldn't eat it. Our waitress was very nice and accomodating and had them give me 25% off my bill , but the hostess who seats people lacks any human relations training and not welcoming or even verbal at all. This was my second time eating here first time was terrible also, but thought it was due to it being during the pandemic but it had been awhile since we had been so we gave it another chance but there is no compassion for customer satisfaction or the strive to serve good fresh tasting food we will not return, I do not know how it has the star rating it has and...
