Visit Oasis, The Small-Town Diner In Indiana That's Been Around Since The 1950s

This delicious diner is a time capsule of old-school grub and desserts. Although it has the charm of the '50s, any generation can fall in love with this joint.

The Oasis Diner originally opened in 1954 under James Canavan and Frank Thurber. The stainless steel structure was designed by Mountain View Diners out of New Jersey and brought to Plainfield via railroad. The diner has undergone different owners throughout the decades including the Thompsons, Diningers, Raymond Piercy, and (most currently) locals Doug Huff and Don Rector.

The Oasis has been renovated a couple of times, too. After closing in 2008, the restaurant was later relocated and brought back to life by the current owners. Nearly every detail of the original 1954 eatery was brought back!

Everyone can find something to love at this diner, no matter if it's the nostalgia felt by older patrons or the vintage vibes appreciated by the new generations. Tuck into a filling meal for breakfast, lunch, or dinner!

The most requested item is the original tenderloin sandwich. It's made with local Indiana pork that's cut, tenderized, and pressed in-house. Every piece is breaded by hand upon ordering to ensure the freshest sandwich possible. Simply mouthwatering!

The hand-dipped ice cream is from the Wisconsin-based company, Chocolate Shoppe. Get your frozen treat as a shake, float, or malt! The Oasis Diner also has a baker's rack filled with locally-made cakes, pies, and bread.
