Many locals recall their late-night service, picking up hot chips with gravy and burgers after their footy games, but while the hours have changed, the favourites haven’t. Their homemade hamburgers remain their top seller, alongside hearty lunch favourites such as crunchy savoury mince jaffas, wedges served with sweet chilli and sour cream, toasted and fresh sandwiches, and of course hot coffee.
On the sweeter side, Oasis serves up thick milkshakes, waffles, banana splits, and traditional Italian treats that add to the classic Ingham experience, keeping locals and travellers coming back for more.
Who could forget their showstopping cannoli or generous antipasto platters? Perfect for a picnic or road trip snack, they’re ideal for sharing – or savouring solo.
You can reserve a table or organise outside catering for your next event. With friendly service, affordable prices and that nostalgic feel, Oasis continues to serve up classic food with an Italian heart. You can even take home a packet of their fresh, handmade ravioli to bring a taste of Oasis to your own kitchen.
On Tuesday, 15th July, Oasis invites the community to come in and enjoy $4 hamburgers and a piece of cake, offered in bittersweet memoriam to the Pavone family – a heartfelt gesture that honours their legacy and lasting connection to Ingham.
Whether it’s for a coffee, a burger, or just a blast from the past, Oasis is a stop worth making.
