“A local recommended Oasis Diner. It didn't disappoint. The service was amazing, with an attentive staff who never made me feel rushed. I ordered the chicken noodle soup (basic, but good), the pork tenderloin sandwich (huge, yummy), and sweet cream pie to go. The house made sodas were an added bonus. The mashed potatoes could have been warmer and the pie slice was skimpy, but other than that, a solid meal.“

It was a superb lemon frosted cake with blueberries and was large enough for both of us at 2 helpings as we brought home half of it for the next day. The service was outstanding. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anynoe whe appreciates good servce with excellent food preparations.“

“First time visit was 5 stars! We arrived on a Friday evening expecting 10-15 guests for my son's 21st birthday celebration. I had not made a reservation or called ahead but the hostess offered a couple of options for us - despite the bar and dining areas already being pretty full. We were seated in the "party room" which was just perfect. Our waiter/bartender, Neal, was amazing! We immediately became friends and his service throughout the night was top notch. Drink and food orders were delivered quickly. The food is delicious. The menu is a step above normal pub fare, but if you're looking for steak or other larger entrees those are not available here. Our group ordered a variety of items and were pleased with the portions and quality. The Bavarian pretzel appetizer was DELICIOUS. Loved the beer cheese.This was our first time visiting Brewlink but I can promise you that we will return - soon. Thank you to their entire staff for making my son's 21st birthday party exactly what he wanted.“

“Enjoyed Valentines Day dinner with my husband. Food always excellent - I had the fillet and could legitimately cut it with my fork! My husband got the ribeye that was a Valentines special and was delicious. We enjoyed the complimentary chocolate covered strawberries as a a desert. There was a live saxophone player on the stage which was amazing! The ambiance was fun, laid back and enjoyable.“
