  I have eaten at the Oasis several times over the past 3 years.  Some meals were excellent, others merely good . . . Until today.  Unfortunately today's lunch was just awful.  Country fried steak that was so overcooked it was hard as a brick and totally inedible. Ditto the wild rice. The green beans were slightly better, but not much.  I should have sent it all back but I didn't want to make a "scene."
  
  On a positive note the server was very nice and the rolls were very good.  Not sure if I will be back after this experience.  Sad, really.

  My very polite waitress greeted me kindly and asked if I would like something to drink.  I told her "hot tea".  She said, sorry we don't have hot tea.  I replied "how about bottled water?" .  She responded "no sir, I am sorry we don't have bottled water either." "Is there something else I can get you?"  My response "no, that's alright".  She took my order and in just a few minutes she returned with an ice cold bottle of water.  I said, "oh you found some water, great"  She replied," I went next door and purchased it for you."  I was very appreciative.  I enjoyed my meal and upon delivery of the bill I noted to the waitress she did not add the beverage charge. She replied "no, that's on me."  She had used her own cash money to purchase my drink!  And! expected nothing in return!  That's great service!

  I've been a customer of the Oasis in Kuttawa since it opened.  Over about the last year, the quality of food and service has declined.  I visited during the first week of February, 2012 and this was my worst experience at Oasis to date.  Service was slow, specials advertised on the front page of the menu weren't honored and the food was mediocre.  I visited again on 03/04/12, and had an even worse experience.  The salad I ordered was never brought (yet I was still charged for it), the "onion twisters" topping my steak were dripping with oil from the fryer, and the "Porterhouse" steak I ordered (and paid for) was actually a T-Bone.  I asked the waiter about it, who promptly sent the manager on duty over.  The MOD only argued with me and essentially told me I don't know a Porterhouse steak when I see one.  If you enjoy overpriced mediocrity, the Oasis Southwest Grill in Kuttawa is definitely your kinda place!

  The food has improved here recently.  I had a chicken sandwich that was actually tasty, and you can get a beer, which is a plus.  The bar is not bad, but a couple of the TVs are off, consistent HD is a problem.  The girls that work here are sweet, just a folksy vibe and usually good service.  They have live music in the front over the summer, the usual Skynyrd cover bands, but fun nonetheless.  Usually a steady crowd, Oasis is an apt name, probably the only place you can get a drink and watch a game for around 30 miles.  A good option if you are on the lake and want something other than a Big Mac.  The Cajun Pasta is a good pick, the rolls are fluffy, and the salads have bacon-what more could you want?

  I have to give this place four stars because it is located way out in the country and there are no other exceptional restaurants around this restaurant. Having written that we always stop here when on our way to western Kentucky. The food is good, the service is good and the prices good. There is a bar if you want drinks. We had lunch Sunday and was amazed at the prices, $5.99 to $7.99. The meat loaf was excellent as was the fried catfish.

  I was in Kuttawa on business and was told this was the place to go.  The only good thing was the food.  Our bar drinks were horrible, we had three different waitresses, then had to wait an hour after dinner while they sorted out our checks with no real explanation.  No one came to our table during this time so no refills on drinks or things being cleared awsy.  There were 6 of us yes, but not that difficult of a task. No one apologized until we were leaving and the manager took that opportunity to point out one of us had not paid for a $1.99 drink. We paid for the drink because it was the right thing to do and the best thing to do is AVOID this place! Good food doesn't make up for horrible service. We wasted money and time here, hope no one else does either.

  Yes, I used to work here!
  
  That's right, I did sling drinks to boaters, rednecks, golfers, truckers and travelers on this crazy journey we call life.  It was fun, frustrating and it paid me well.  If you stop by, make sure to say hello to the loveliest bartender in the world, my former compatriot and good friend to this day.
