Visited The Wild Olive on Friday, October 3, 2025 around 11 AM with my wife after seeing it on Google Maps. It looked like a small, farm-style brunch restaurant, so we decided to give it a try.
We were seated right away and greeted by our waitress, who was friendly and attentive. The menu was small, but that’s not a bad thing — it seems to rotate daily with new specials, which keeps things interesting.
I ordered the homemade smash burger with a side of mac and cheese, while my wife got the daily special — a chicken tender melt with sweet potato fries.
The burger itself had one patty that was a bit on the burnt side, making it tough to eat at first. Once I removed the overcooked parts, though, it was flavorful and had a great homemade taste. The mac and cheese, however, wasn’t my favorite — it reminded me a lot of Velveeta-style mac with some bacon bits thrown in. Not bad, just not what I was expecting.
My wife’s chicken tender melt was easily the winner of the meal — perfectly cooked, full of flavor, and paired with crispy sweet potato fries that were delicious. We both agreed I picked the wrong dish!
Overall, the experience was cozy and satisfying. Despite a few small misses, the food had a fresh, homemade feel, and I’d definitely return to try something new off their rotating menu.
9/10 — Would recommend and revisit.

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).

Finally stopped into eat here and I was very satisfied! Everyone was nice and welcoming and the food was so good. The fried pickles were good and not greasy at all. The Buffalo Chicken on my sandwich was smaller than the pictures I saw; however, it was still good. The Pasta Tuscana was so flavorful I loved it! And dessert was lemon blueberry cheesecake, which was so refreshing and not too heavy or too sweet. I can’t wait to go back!!!

We found this place from their reviews. Marinara is perfect imo. Salmon was delicious. House salad with house dressing also very good. The bread, I saved this for last; get the oil and bread!

Wild Olive is a great little hometown, upscale restaurant for a date night or a family event/gathering!
Food is great, well prepared and the slight menu changes with fresh meals is a nice touch. The wait time is about what you’d expect from a restaurant like this. But servers are great, bread and oil is a nice appetizer and the restaurant is always clean and friendly!

It’s literally a house renovated into a restaurant. It was fun trying to figure out where our table was in terms of the layout; we imagined we ate in what was once a closet? (Kind of a fun little game to play as you look around – not meant as a slight or an insult.)
*** NOTE: I believe the menu changes daily so it may be completely different options if you decide to visit. ***
Had heard amazing things about this place so we gave it a shot. Food was tasty but I think I was expected to be wowed (this may have just been my mistake) and I thought food was just average? The Pasta Roxanne was very creamy but didn’t have a lot of flavor; I couldn’t even taste the garlic and it didn’t have a lot of bacon so it was a little disappointing. I added shrimp and they were cooked perfectly, there were four to six shrimp, I think? The soup was excellent, thick and rich and perfect to take the edge off of a cold evening in Florida. BF had the Spaghetti Marinara and I think he added Chicken Parm; it looked good but I didn’t try his dish at all.

We recently had lunch here and from the moment we arrived until we left our experience was wonderful. We were greeted warmly and our server was very friendly, helpful and efficient.
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.

6/21/2025 I just called at 5:15 (they open at 5pm) to place a to go order, 15 minutes after opening. The woman who answered stated they were not taking orders since they were booked up and the wait would be too long.
I asked her if she wouldn’t mind saying how long it would be as I didn’t mind the wait.
She asked to hold then asked how many people, which I said two.
Without asking which items I would like she came back on and said they couldn’t accommodate me today. I would’ve liked to have been able to tell her I only wanted a burger and salad, as I’m sure that they probably assumed I wanted steaks.
First time coming here in November 2024 and the food and service was great. I had the filet Mignon with a side of spinach salad and mashed potatoes and salad. The filet was a bit tough. I asked for medium rare and was given over medium. I added the mushrooms on top which was a bit more but so good. Thank you! .
May 31 tried the redfish with three shrimp, rice pilaf. Loves the orzo salad, $4 extra charge, but was good. Also ordered the ribeye with mashed potatoes and came with a soup and also kids meal.

-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.

My daughters took me here for my birthday dinner. We’ve been here before and I absolutely loved their Pasta Roxanne. However, I was disappointed when I got my meal and they are using regular shell noodles now instead of the tortellini they used to use. Does not taste the same. I’ll have to find another dish to like…. Other than that, the rest of the experience was great. Just don’t order the pasta Roxanne if you loved it w the tortellini:(
