    This place is close to my house. I eat here several times a month. The staff is pleasant. The food is good. I love their Lemon Rice Soup. It's fantastic. My go-to is their grilled chicken sandwich. They have a vast selection of salads.

    Do not go here was just talked to poorly by a man named anise. I ordered a 20 doller salade and recieved no dressing. All I wanted was to be taken care of. After 3 years of giving them business, I'll never return. Very upset.

    Terrible service, worse management with customer service. They charged us for something that was deceptive in ingredients. When I told them I had an allergy they said “Well that is the Red Olive Chipotle Sauce.” It was a curry sauce. No offer for remedy. Never going back. I don’t recommend.

    I love their salad options. Clean and friendly service, always a bit on the slow side even when they don't appear too busy, just bring your patience and enjoy.

    We arrived 30 mins before closing. I asked if we could come in. They were very gracious. Food was delicious. Service was wonderful.

    Ordered online and accidentally selected the default (pickup). Forgetting that my daughter had my car, I immediately called the restaurant just after I clicked ‘Submit’ on my order to cancel and ask for delivery. I was told that there was nothing that could be done - they couldn’t cancel my order. They made my food, let it sit and charged me for it.

    So, I gave this place such a low rating for these reasons. It was uncomfortably warm inside. Our waiter and the wait staff seemed like they were all zoned out. It wasn't busy but it took 10 to 15 minutes to get our drinks. The food wasn't that good except for the lemon rice soup. The girl who checked us out was very rude too. Won't be returning.

    We used to go here before 2020 and have ordered delivery faithfully for three years. We noticed some decline in the food, but not much. Today we returned to eat at the restaurant in person. My husband used to enjoy the spaghetti but today he was given a huge bowl of pasta and a small bowl of meat sauce. It barely colored the pasta orange. He asked for more and got a cup. But it wasn’t the same quality sauce as it had been. My vegetable soup was as good as ever. The salad had lots of chicken, walnuts, and enough strawberries and mandarins oranges, but the lettuce was wilted. We were very disappointed by the quality of the food.

    Stopped here with friends because we were craving pancakes. We were not disappointed! Blueberry pancakes. Cinnamon swirl French toast. Biscuits and gravy. We were in our bliss! Best part was that it was Mother's Day and we didn't have to wait to get a table. Our server was amazing and took excellent care of us.

    Food is great but service is subpar the couple times I've gone

    Great restaurant with great food and generous helpings. Unfortunately the online menu prices are old and don't represent current prices; this caught me by surprise. Will frequent again 🌞

    Burger and fries was good! Probably shouldn’t have ordered steak… kind of hard and chewy. But the food is inexpensive and came in great portion. Will try their chicken dinner next time.

    I'm familiar with Red Olive but never really eaten at one, and if I have, I've completely blocked it out of my memory. I came here to meet with a good friend of mine and brought my mom with me, so it was the three of us. My friend chose this place since it was easy to get to, even though it was a bit out of the way for my mom, but still easy to get too. The menu is literally a Coney Island Menu with some Greek fare food. Gyros, coneys and I think Saganaki. Anyway, the place was slow and we intentionally sat in the back for privacy in a larger booth. Our servers were okay, nothing to write home about. I got the French Toast, my mom got a spinach and feta omelet, and my friend got a chicken gyro. Food came out quickly, and it was okay. Overall the place was clean and in good shape but not anything I would go out of my way for. They do serve breakfast all day which we were all excited about since we were hungry but not starving. Just your average family restaurant really. Neither fabulous nor terribly awful, it seems to be more just average.

    Excellent menu..... Generous portions, Meat was tender, tasty. Veggies were perfect. Kudos to the cook. My first Red Olive experience...I'm glad I went. Handicap accessible.

    Food was good and I appreciate the fact there wasn't too many overwhelming options to order from.

    Fast service, great food, convenient location near the car repair I was at. I walked over and had a delicious Gyro breakfast served by a pleasant smiling face. Will be back.
