Franklin County has a local steakhouse that opens from November to May. Oasis Steakhouse delivers an impressive dining experience that combines your choice of a daily lunch buffet with mouthwatering dinners. It even offers the only full salad bar in town. During its six-month stretch, Oasis Steakhouse has earned a reputation for locals as the go-to destination.
From the moment you step inside, you’re greeted by the warmest of smiles with an inviting atmosphere. You have two separate areas to choose from: the front, if you want a more secluded, quiet dining room, or the back, which, depending on the night, offers a different activity. The seating is comfortable and spacious, allowing diners to enjoy a relaxed meal. While the menu focuses on premium cuts, from tender rib-eyes to juicy T-bones, it’s hard to ignore the highlight that sets them apart: the complete, all-you-can-eat salad bar.
The salad bar, a rare find in this area, is brimming with an impressive selection of fresh ingredients. Crisp greens, vibrant vegetables, and an array of toppings, not to mention a delicious homemade blue cheese dressing, make the salad bar a feast. For those like me who enjoy a variety of customization, this salad bar is an absolute delight, especially as a refreshing, lighter start to the main course. Many patrons even find it difficult to resist going back for more. This year, Oasis Steakhouse has gone even further, and you can now build your personal version of the perfect salad by ordering a salad bar and a protein of your choice. I opted this time for the grilled chicken — which was juicy and hot — and took my salad to the next level. My perfect salad will always be one I create without going to the store to buy each ingredient.
The staff at the Oasis Steakhouse is consistently friendly and attentive, and the service enhances the experience, making each visit feel personal and welcoming. The annual anticipation of its seasonal return makes dining here feel special. GN
