Oasis Grill

This place was surprisingly busy considering it was kind of in the middle of nowhere.
It was the perfect rest stop/lunch break for my friend and me on the Friday before the long Labor Day weekend. I felt bad for the one main waitress working there. As I was paying the bill afterwards, she mentioned her manager had taken the day off, which I think usually isn't a good idea especially before a holiday weekend. She looked swamped and slightly flustered, but she held it together pretty well.

I went with the steak and eggs, and ordered a mocha to go, while my friend went with the rueben. The steak wasn't that great, but I knew not to expect much from a diner. My friend seemed to enjoy her rueben though. She ended up having to take home half the sandwich because the portions were pretty sizable. I liked my mocha and it kept me awake through the rest of the drive up to Redding.

Service was extremely friendly, though understandably slow because of the lack of staff. I think they only had 1 cook as well, and one helper who bused tables and provided silverware.

We needed dinner, and there it was!  Filled our bellies.  What more could we ask for on the road?  Better than the neigoboring Wendy's or McDonalds up the road.  Service was adaquet, restrooms could use some improving.

It's okay. It's a diner. Hamburger good. Why is there a huge flat screen playing?
