My husband had the smoked brisket sandwich with fries lunch special and I had the smoked ribeye sandwich with sweet potato fries a cup of broccoli soup. Everything was delicious, both of the sandwiches had a subtle smoke flavor, not overpowering....but those sweet potato fries...perfection!! Just straight up sweet potato fries, crispy and no sugary additions needed! They do have delicious dessert options made in house as well as a great dinner menu. We will definitely be back. ”

“ -They were more than willing to accommodate my odd request for plain pasta with low amounts of butter. Typically even when asked for low butter, italian restaurants still add a lot but Wild Olive is different! -I tried some of my dad’s fries and they seem to be fresh and cut by hand. -The server also me a lot of lemonade every time I ran out or got low. ”
“ After about a 15 minute wait, we were seated by our server, AL. She was very attentive and personable, even though the place was packed. We were there celebrating my wife's birthday a few days early. My mother-in-law and I both had the Ribeye Steak(med), which was cooked to perfection. My wife had the Chicken Toscana(that tasted like it was made by an Italian Nonna with love). We enjoyed the food and the atmosphere and will definitely be going back very soon and very often. PS: The desserts are amazing as well, we had The Creme Brule(M-I-L), The Tiramisu(Wife) & The Turtle Cheesecake(Me). ”

Last night I had a ribeye steak and he had a pecan crusted pork tenderloins. They cooked perfectly on my steak and tasted wonderful. Lemon blueberry cheesecake was fantastic ”
