The New Oasis Family Restaurant

We were pleasantly surprised when we walked in because from the outside it doesn't look like much. But it was clean and friendly. The fried chicken was as good as mom used to make and the price was very reasonable.

We were passing through on I-80 in Illinois and saw a sign that said family restaurant. So we went there (it’s north off the interstate exit 90). It’s a gas station, carry out and the restaurant. From the outside it doesn’t look like much but inside was clean and comfortable.
Crissey waited on us and couldn’t have been nicer. The food was very good and my fried chicken was probably the best I’ve ever had. It was lightly breaded and juicy. It came with spaghetti, soup or salad and ice cream.

I was running early for my delivery appt and decided to stop here and grab a bite to eat. I was greeted promptly, told to have seat anywhere and the menu was handed to me shortly afterwards. I ordered the steak and eggs. Steak was cooked to my liking and was delicious. The eggs were cooked scrambled and cheese added as I requested. Fruit was fresh and pancakes were fluffy. The waitress checked on me occasionally but wasn’t too overbearing. I did not need to add any salt, pepper or condiment to make this meal taste better; compliments to the chef. Both food and service were phenomenal. I’d absolutely stop here again ❤️

Food was mostly old, dinner entrees and I would assume breakfast is significantly better seeing you can’t batch too much of it. Got a side of hot peppers to at were definitely bad. The mashed potatoes were old and crusty, almost in clumps. The burger was over cooked, dry and flavorless. All I’m saying is if you wanna earn the five stars ✨ stick to breakfast, sometimes a large menu is more a problem than a plus. I’m not impressed with a place that gives big portions if they are sub par. Politely, it made me quite sick.

Good food and friendly service, at this restaurant that is just off I-80. After ordering food arrived in a short time, waitress checked on my needs often. The food is fresh, I ordered a veggie skillet, it was loaded with fresh veggies that were fresh cut, never frozen. My scrambled eggs were soft and not over done. The pancakes were perfect.

Biodiesel and regular price difference is .40 cents, but even you pay the price, you are still getting the same biodiesel! Be careful!

Old school with tradition. One of the few left and prices were great

Stopped here to fill up and get some breakfast. SURE GLAD I DID! Best hometown restaurant i think I've ever been too. Food is delicious. The prices are very low and the portions are huge! You will not leave hungry. If you do, its totally your fault!

Our server was quick, the food was really delicious and creative even for a family restaurant. The bread they use is SO good and my eggs were spot on. Also, they have dessert from some Chicago bakery and it all looks picture perfect. I'm sure it tastes just as amazing, so I definitely grabbed a slice of cake to go.

Don't let the exterior fool you! This place is a hidden gem.

Wonderful and delicious family restaurant, equipes for larger parties. We visited today April 26, 2026 group of 5 and a baby and we were sat right away. The food came out right away too after we ordered. On the corner of Highway 80 and State Route 71. The customer service was friendly, fast and very attentive. Will hopefully return with family again.

Great food, friendly staff, great experience over all

Fast, good quality, would rec 👌
