Waitress was very pleasant. Got sat quickly. Western decor clean and well lit. Food came out quickly. Got bison burgers. They were a little dry but I think it is the bison burger not the cooking. Sides were good.

A quick trip to the gift shop & what an AMAZING SHOP!! Beautifully decorated & top quality clothing. Salesladies were very helpful.
Didn't have time to stop & eat or gamble, but had some wonderful bargains as a clearance rack was 20-60% off.
- marked on map to stop there again - gas was reasonable & 1 stop shop/ eat/ stay & play always convenient!

We stopped here during our trip, and the restaurant is very beautiful and clean. The entire staff was extremely kind and welcoming. The young man at the front seating guests was especially friendly. We had the breakfast buffet, and the fried chicken was 10/10. Everything was absolutely spotless, and all the details were very well taken care of. I definitely recommend stopping here if you want to enjoy delicious food and take a nice break.

For a great home cook style meal with pie! Great service! Western/hunter atmosphere. Place to dine, shop, play games/casino and groceries, made in South Dakota products. The chislic, steak flash fried is yummy. The hot turkey is a huge portion of turkey not deli style, like homemade is yummy on a tasty slice of taste like homemade sourdough. Fun place to dine.

My family and I was returning home from Rapid City to Sioux Falls it was late and we stopped for some pie. There were only two employees there cleaning and getting ready to close. Both of them were happy to serve us, they even made a Shirley Temple for our son and loaded it up with lots of cherries. This place is great! Good lemon pie and great people.

Al’s Oasis in South Dakota is a perfect stop for truckers. There’s plenty of spacious parking, making it easy to pull in with a big rig. The food is tasty and served fast, and the coffee is excellent for a refreshing break. They also have a well stocked grocery store with plenty on the shelves.

The staff at Al's oasis are so friendly and helpful. The wait staff is very attentive. We had a meeting scheduled and there was a little mix up. They still accommodated our needs with no fuss at all. The food was great and our server, Shelby, remembered what everyone ordered. Which i have to say is pretty amazing coming from a former server. I also have to mention not to forget the pie!

The pot roast and mashed potatoes that came with it was delicious but the green beans tasted and it looked like they came from a can. My husband had the Indian Taco, that was also very good. Now the apple pie with cinnamon ice cream was fantastic! They also have a grocery store that stays open until late, gift shop, gas station and a campground. One stop shop!

Al’s Oasis is the ultimate American road trip stop! It’s a wild mix of big things, taxidermy displays, and all the roadside charm you could want. They’ve got cool merch, tasty food, and everything you need to refuel and recharge. It’s truly a highway oasis that’s as American as it gets!

There are several signs along the highway leading up to the exit, making it easy to find. The server was friendly and the food was enjoyable—reminiscent of classic bar fare, making it a solid choice for a stop during a long road trip. Photos of the food are attached.

This place is a goldmine. It's heaven in the middle of nowhere. Saloon, restaurant, full grocery store w/ beer, liquo, and wine, games for kids and adults, souvenir and gift store and I think a bakery.
Was so good I came back when coming back through. Hope I can come back again.

It felt like stepping into an old Western town, with charming rustic shops and a cozy restaurant tucked inside. The food was delicious and reasonably priced—I had the Philly Cheese Steak, which was excellent. The staff was warm and welcoming, adding to the overall experience. There's also a gift shop and a small grocery store to explore.

A great place to stop and stretch your legs. It is kind of the half way point for traveling. It has been updated / remodeled since my last visit. I like the new layout they have. Kid-friendliness: The new layout gives the place ... when you stop ... somewhere even the kids look forward to seeing and looking around. The new shooting gallery is really fun to watch (or play). Great fun for everyone.

The place has had a major remodel since we last ate there last. It was nicely done and a major improvement of the restrooms. Service was great, the server was friendly, and the food was very good as well. The Gooey Grilled Cheese was delicious, but don't spend the extra $2.50 for the ham on it as it was only 1/16 inch thick and not worth it. Waffle fries were great.

Impressed with the overall atmosphere of the place. Enjoyed the Evening buffet, beef rib, roast beef, cheesy macaroni, salad bar. Nice selection including coleslaw. Service was very good. Asked several times if everything was OK. They have a great selection of on tap and bottled beers, Saltzers. Nice gift store, bright and airy. Nice selection of local crafts and gifts. Worth the stop by.

What a fun stop! Good diner food. Quick service. Fun decor. Our waiter, I believe his name was Francisco, was so nice and went out of his way to make small things more special for us, such as putting whipped cream and chocolate sauce on my daughter's chocolate milk. That extra touch made my kiddo smile. This place is great for photo opportunities.

For an Interstate stop, it's well worth it. The apple pie was great. We ordered a whole one, actually that's all we ate on that stop. On our return trip we stopped again and bought two pies for home. They have a full menu, good western motif, and a grocery with souvenirs. Make the stop if passing by. The photo I took for reference for our return trip.
