    Great experience! Delicious food and friendly service. The cooks were even nice enough to make a "bow" on the mickey mouse pancakes to turn them into Minnie Mouse for my little girl. How amazing is that?!

    We love stopping in here. Their food is really good and very inexpensive. There isn't a menu item we haven't tried that we didn't like. Lots of food items to choose from so if you are unsure of what you want to eat there's plenty to pick from. We love coming here for breakfast (served all day.) The staff is super friendly and the restaurant is clean. The one thing I wish they would change is playing Fox "news" on the TV. Please...stop playing this channel!

    Walked in about 1 p.m., half the tables and booths were occupied. Servers were flying. Took a seat and a menu & a glass of ice water were on the table in seconds. Usually go with a gyro first time in a new place - as a frame of reference - but the spinach pie & small Greek salad seemed good. Salad showed up about a minute later. Lots of pickled beets (🤢) but only one slice of cucumber, a half slice of tomato & one pepper. No onions, but lots of iceberg lettuce and dressing (on the side by default). Spinach pie arrived a moment later looking delicious. Turns out it was a bit plain and the phyllo crust was beyond the capability of the butter knife to get through. The place is very typical restaurant looking, generic.

    If we could give zero stars we would! We walked in and were told by the greeter to sit anywhere. Then we were completely ignored as she brought menus and silverware to 3 groups that came in after us. Then we were also ignored by the entire wait staff (they had at least 5 waitresses working so they were NOT short staffed). Never visiting again.

    Good prices for food. I enjoy going here with my grandma. We love this place so much. Their salads are very good. I am also in love with their pancakes now. 10/10 I would recommend very nice for breakfast.

    My work colleague and I stopped in for lunch only to eat breakfast. She is a true fan of Red Olive"s breakfast menu and wanted me to try it. I order "From the Griddle," cinnamon swirl toast, 2 eggs over easy and bacon. It was soooo good! Our waitress Molly has amazing customer service skills and you can tell she loves being a waitress. She wasn't afraid to talk to her customers. I will definitely return with my husband.

    The food depends on what you order. We have been there a few times. Breakfast was good. Dinners not so much. Between the four of us, we tried gyro pita (really good), angus cheeseburger (didn’t taste like angus at all), fish and chips (good fries, but terrible fish), salmon dinner (really good), chicken kabob (horrible) My daughter was inappropriately referred to as hun, honey, etc. by the guy at the register, when she was paying the bill. He is a cashier and also the boss there. Boss sets the tone, so can’t expect much from the employees. Cleaning lady was constantly mopping, cleaning tables while we were eating, and her attire was showing cleavage as she was roaming through the dining room and leaning forward.

    I wish you could give a restaurant zero Stars went into the Red Olive this morning to get lunch with my son and we sat there for 10 minutes and that one waitress acknowledges. I called and spoke to someone and told them how awful the service was in their excuse was they are busy but then that's not an excuse I said well if they would have acknowledged us and said we'll be with you in 5 minutes that would have been acceptable but what we received was totally unacceptable and we will not be returning.

    I recently dined at Red Olive in Warren and was thoroughly impressed by the harmonious blend of Mediterranean, Greek, and American cuisine they offer. The ambiance of the restaurant instantly made me feel at ease, echoing the warmth and richness of the dishes. I was particularly taken with their chicken gyro plate and the Greek salad, each dish perfectly balanced and bursting with flavor. The friendly staff added a personal touch to my dining experience, attentive and genuinely warm, making me feel truly welcome. I appreciated the clean and soothing environment, complemented by soft, inviting music. Each dish, from the crispy fish and chips to the creamy rice pudding, was a testament to the restaurant's commitment to culinary excellence. What struck me most was the value Red Olive provides. The portions were generous, and the prices were reasonable, proving that they don't compromise on quality. Dining at Red Olive was more than just a meal; it was a celebration of rich flavors and heartwarming hospitality, a memorable experience that I would recommend to anyone looking for quality dining in Warren​.

    Five stars, hands down, for Red Olive! Every Saturday after WallyBall, I head straight here for the most epic Michigan Chicken Salad and the friendliest waitstaff this side of the net. The salad itself is a game-changer. Juicy grilled chicken, plump Michigan cherries, creamy blue cheese, and that raspberry vinaigrette... let's just say there's a reason I crave it all week long. It's the perfect post-workout refuel, full of fresh flavors and protein to keep me energized. But it's not just the food that makes Red Olive a winner. The staff is absolutely fantastic. They know us by now and always greet us with smiles, and make sure our post-match hunger pangs are quickly satisfied. We feel like family there, which just adds to the whole experience. So, if you're looking for a delicious and friendly spot to refuel after any kind of activity (not just WallyBall!), hit up Red Olive. You won't be disappointed!

    I love this Restaurant to eat there but, when it comes to take-out I wouldn't do it again. I ordered soup and mashed potatoes and the potatoes tasted like they were a day old and everything was cold except the hot tea.

  • 2/5 Michael C. 8 months ago on Google
    Amanda was a great waitress. The food was really bad. My son had a flavorless burger. I had the fish and chips. The fish was so greasy. I realize it was fried, but let it drain a bit. The fries were overcooked and just as bad. The seating is completely worn out. Can not recommend this restaurant to anyone.

  • 2/5 Katie F. 5 months ago on Google
    Used to be wonderful, but is so hit or miss nowadays. They constantly forget things for both dine in and carry out. The food quality is super hot or miss. Never know if it will be delicious or terrible.

  • 5/5 Michelle D. 5 months ago on Google
    Met a friend here for breakfast and was very pleased. We both had a skillet breakfast which came out fast and hot, plentiful portions and reasonably priced. Our server, Amanda, was so sweet and attentive. Love this place!

    I've been going here for a very long time. Everything is delicious! The staff couldn't be nicer! The best Greek salad in town but so is the biscuits and gravy!

  • 5/5 kathleen O. 8 months ago on Google
    Really good food, and nice servers. Restaurant is clean n friendly.

  • 5/5 Kathy S. 11 months ago on Google
    In the past month, we’ve dined in once and carried out twice. The dine in experience was a very good one from food to the service. I was more impressed by carry out. We do take out a lot. Invariably, there’s something missing. Not at Red Olive. Spot on! And a small touch but they wrap dressings, soup, anything leakable in plastic wrap. Takes extra time but little things mean a lot. I’m gonna be a regular!

    Friendly staff, clean and food is always good! Discovered Red Olive first when I am worked at Ford Mo Co in Dearborn. We would have lunch frequently. I was so happy to see Red Olive come closer to home. Keep up the great work!

    Amazing food and great service. Highly recommend. I will be going back soon.

    Really nice, clean restaurant. Friendly staff that greeted us immediately and were very attentive. The food tasted great and the cheesecake was delicious! We'll be back again for sure.

    It was so nasty and dry I asked for my garlic paste on the side they put it on my Sandwich and it was still dry very sloppy and just badly put together. Very disappointed if you want this food but 10 times better go to the honey tree grille you won’t be disappointed!!

  • 3/5 Zachary “HiSTiO” C. 1 year ago on Google
    The service was great. The food however was just okay. My girlfriend didn't like the sauce they put on the rice but other than that it wasn't bad just wasn't great either. It was okay thanks to friendly service, cheap prices and a plethora of options on the menu I'd be willing to give them another chance.

    This Red Olive restaurant is one that we visit frequently. The food is good and the staff knows us well enough to anticipate our needs. I can easily recommend them to everyone.

  • 5/5 Kathrine 1 year ago on Google
    My family has been coming here every Sunday for brunch ever since it opened. The best customer service and sweetest servers. We love supporting the owner and will continue to come. The food is delicious. I highly recommend the saganaki, gyro and eggs, eggs benedict, any of the skillets, veggie stir fry, and club sandwich.

  • 5/5 RMC T. 1 year ago on Google
    My husband and I go to this restaurant for breakfast a lot. The food is good. We order their Salmon Caesar Salad, Stir Fry, and Breakfast Special with some Pecans Pancakes on the side. I love their hospitality. The restaurant is clean and well lit. Red Olive is a regular for my husband and I. Check it out you will not be disappointed.

    Always enjoy eating here. My favorite is the Philly chicken subs, never undercooked and always packing flavor. The last time I went, I was unexpected short on cash, but the guy in charge let me go with what I had. I truly appreciate that. Definitely coming back (with the right amount of cash of course 😅)

    My husband and I had a great time here this afternoon. The food and atmosphere are great, everyone is friendly, especially our waitress Melanie. She was very sweet and went above and beyond to give us a great experience! We appreciate the extra kindness, it brightened our day!

    I ordered a Chicken Shwarma… for $12, I thought they would’ve put more garlic on it… unfortunately that wasn’t the case. Without the extra garlic the sandwich was okay, from what I finished. The sandwich I ordered had 4 pieces of long hair! I couldn’t stomach it and ended up throwing everything away.
