The Oasis is a greasy-spoon classic. Scoot into a turquoise booth (mind the duct tape) and fork into a haystack (aka hash browns filled with ham, cheese and veggies). The cafe slings breakfast all day, along with burgers and pot-roast sandwiches. Mismatched dishes and coffee mugs add to the ambience.
