    The burger was great. I didnt eat the pasta but they said it was amazing! This place is also the hook up for deserts! Will go again! Update: went here again. Tried the pasta. Just as good as expected. The bacon wrapped jalapeños were amazing. Just eat here already!

    Great place, very homey and welcoming, clean, very nicely decorated. The food here is extremely tasty, desserts are to live for. Carrot cake, German chocolate cake, cinnamon roll cheese cake, lemon blueberry cheese cake, peanut butter chocolate cheesecake, and others. Friendly staff, friendly atmosphere. Beautiful!

    This place is amazing. It’s been here for a minute. I can’t believe I hadn’t tried it before. Everything is amazing and is made in house. Highly recommend for a business lunch or early dinner. Promise you will like it!

    Back on Sept 14. Finally got back to one of our favorite sit downs. Hospitality, delicious meals, atmosphere. This is just a friendly local place that celebrates good food. Crispy Brussel sprouts. Yum. Just the right amount of sweet and savory and crisp. If the server asks if you'd like bread, say yes... for the bottom of the bowl of brussel sprouts. The Sweet potato gnocchi comes with ceasar side salad. Nice an light. Salad dressing is tossed before plating, so you get a taste in every bite. Oh my. The gnocchi is so good. If you're not sure what Fall tastes like, this is a good start. The blackened Mahi sandwich has a really nice portion. Just enough lettuce tomatoe and onion. French fries we hot and seasoned like I like them. Who needs catchup, the other sauce...mmm. Portions filled us up. Maybe we should have split an entree? Nah. Take home the leftovers and enjoy again. Delicious. And taking home a slice of red velvet cake too! So good to be back at The Wild Olive! Started with the crispy brussel sprouts (topped with honey and bacon vinegrette and goat cheese), then enjoyed the backend shrimp and grits (gouda grits, bacon, green onions, Cajun butter sauce, and parmesan) and the chicken parmesan (we got the crispy chicken and it was moist and delicious) comes with capellini, marinara, provolone, and parmesan) Yum.  Pre-meal delicious bread with olive oil. Entree comes with a salad or soup. Either is going to be delightful. We had the house salad with apple vinegrette. Everything was delicious. Can't wait to be back.

    We were initially in Crestview for work as we come here a couple times out the month. We usually get some type of fast food but decided to give this place a try. We ordered the Shrimp Alfredo, Shrimp and grits, Carrot Cake, and tiramisu all to go.THIS HAD TO HAVE BEEN THE BEST FOOD IVE HAD IN A LONG TIME!!! Literally not one single complaint I will go broke spending my money on this because I will be coming here every single time I’m in town!!!

    This is my favorite place to eat in Crestview. The Wild Olive has created a family friendly environment, but it also can serve as a fantastic date night. The staff is professional and friendly. The restaurant is clean and has good parking options. The food... I have been here numerous times and have never had a bad meal. This place is a gem and should be on your normal rotation. Highly recommend!

    Popular restaurant with both American and Italian offerings. Weekend evenings are busy so call ahead. We had shrimp risotto and Chicken parmesian. The risotto was fantastic. My only criticism of the chicken parm is that the pasta bed was swimming in sauce. I prefer my pasta to be "kissed" by the sauce so the pasta flavor comes through. Desserts are wonderful and decadent. Our server was polite, happy, attentive and fun natured. We will be back

    Absolute best Italian I've ever had and I've eaten Italian all over the country. The Chicken Tuscana was perfection. The sauce, the pasta, the flavorful and juicy chicken- all perfection. Deserts, salad, bread and dipping oil were all exceptional as well. Anna was our server and she took excellent care of us. Highly recommend. Wish I could give 10 stars!

    So disappointed. Heard this place was great. We took our daughter there tonight for her 21st birthday. Checked online to make sure they were open and it said open until 8 PM. Then we got there and they had a sign on the door = Closed for private event! Would have been nice to have that mentioned online. Did not know we had to call to make sure you’re open on a Thursday night!

    Fast service and friendly atmosphere. Loved the waitress that served us tonight 😁 she definitely deserves some praising y'all. It's Christian based and there food is definitely worth trying ❤️ would definitely recommend them to be a 5 star

    Really nice mom and pops restaurant. With beautiful decor. Looks like someone house. The food was delicious. My wife got the southern salad with grilled shrimp and she loved it. I got the steak sandwich with sweet potatoe fries and was similarly impressed Their desserts are also super tasty and the servers are extremely helpful and friendly!

    Service was phenomenal. Our server was one of the best we’ve had. The hot bread and dipping oil was the highlight of the food. We ordered stuffed jalapeños and the loaded fries as appetizers. Jalapeños were cold; fries were delicious but just warm. Main course was Alfredo with various toppings and chicken parmigiana. The entrees were not even warm — cold. We were led to believe this was the best Italian in town. Maybe they need some heat lamps. Wish it would have been a better experience. But kudos to our server!

    Showed up with no reservations was told we would have to wait roughly an hour for our party of 5. Then was given the option to sit on the patio to be seated sooner. Once seated we ordered drinks and an appetizer. The waitress waited a bit before asking us what we wanted to eat. Once we ordered it took quite some time to get our food. My husband got the Mahi and shrimp, stated the Mahi was bland tasting while the rice was pretty good and shrimp was delicious. One of our friends got the smash burger, stated that the burger for the price was not good; that it was a regular tasting burger nothing fancy about it. They also wouldn’t allow him to substitute the fries for fruit or a salad because it was a burger. I have the shrimp and grits, it was tasty and more like a take on Mac n cheese with how cheesy and thick the grits felt. The shrimp were partly sunken down into the grits and I had to “fish” for them and discovered they were tail on and slightly over cooked and hard for me (I have braces) to bite from the tail and chew. Our other friend had the coffee crusted steak and stated it was good, but didn’t stand out for what the charged price was. Their son had the kids burger which is more like sliders with fruit (they were allowed to order fruit with his meal after substituting the fries for it), he stated they were yummy and also devoured the bread they brought to the table between courses that we asked for. The desserts were good as well. Overall, its a four star rating off of half the reviews from the table stating their food was good but not worth the dollar amount being charged.

    This is a nice gem. Almost doesn't look like a restaurant from the outside. We had lunch. I ordered the Ribeye sandwich and my wife had the shrimp poboy. The service was top notch. Our waitress was on point. My sweat tea never saw empty. I absolutely love when you don't have to ask for a refill.

    This was my 2nd time here and the food was amazing! We were there on the Saturday before the 4th of July and the restaurant was hot and stuffy. I had my son with me who has autism and he said "no more hot restaurant", after we finished eating. We did enjoy our food but hopefully the air conditioning works better, if we decide to go again.

    Last night was our first time to enjoy Wild Olive. It definitely will not be our last. The food was exceptional. The service was wonderful. One thing to note, they do not serve alcohol. However, guests are welcome to bring their own. The restaurant does provide stemware for the wine that you bring with you.

    Food is Excellent we have been there for the last 2 Saturday nights. Service was fantastic. I recommend the pasta and the vanilla bean cheesecake. Everything we have had has been fantastic. Will definitely be back for more.

    Highly recommend Wild Olive! Everything about our Valentine's Day meal was incredible, and our waiter's exuberance added to our experience. We will be returning soon!!

    First time dinning here my daughter ❤️ this place and has been telling us we need to come next time we are in from NC so we did. Boy was she right the food was fantastic. We will definitely be stopping back in.

    One of the few places in Crestview for fine dining. Their brussel sprouts are to die for! I always get the chicken and waffles and add a few drops of Tabasco for a small kick. The sweet, salty, and spice is so good! Their cheesecakes are delicious too. But we always take those to go because we’re usually too full to eat them there. My husband and I can eat there for $50-$60. Always so good and they are the perfect place for a date night!

    This place was amazing! Awesome food. German chocolate cake is to die for. Our waiter Thomas was amazing as well. Great customer service and food all around!
