Actually dined at the Mod Olive. Food was delicious, loved the eclectic nostalgic atmosphere. Wait time was a little bit too long. Waitress made mistake on order.

Kathy was an amazing server. Our dogs were able to sit on their shaded patio, and the food was amazing. The portions are huge and everything was fresh. We are traveling so it’s always a relief to find hidden gems like these. This restaurant saved our morning! The blueberry pancakes were to die for.

Great little find in downtown Suffolk. Cozy but modern little restaurant with an amazing brunch menu. The portions were so big, we hoped other people would join us. The menu options are not your run of the mill, but more fun and different.

This was my 3rd visit. I don’t usually revisit restaurants by I really enjoyed this one and I was in the neighborhood SOOOOOOO…. Let me start by saying The service and atmosphere were great! My waitress Latrice was OUTSTANDING! The Meatballs and Fried Green Tomatoes were Fantastic.
HOWEVER, The menu had incorrect descriptions (yes plural) and I waited for a replacement order for my first incorrect meal that was also wrong.
*The Win Win Chicken Din
Does not come with a Corn Puree as stated on the menu. It never did. It comes with just a bunch of kernels of corn.
*The Montecristo is not grilled as the menu says. It is served on plain cold (or cold when it got to me) French toast that was doughy. Not a Montecristo!
I will not be back a 4th time.

In town for work, so looked up random places. Took me a bit to decide as they have quite a few choices but decided on the cheese fondue. Overall, it is not worth the price to me. It came with a handful of pretzels, a small bowl of French fries, cooked broccoli that was too soft to dip, and half an apple. After a couple of minutes, the cheese started to cool and coagulate. Execution could be better. I also got the grilled shrimp entrée with broccoli (I didn’t know the fondue also came with it or I wouldn’t have) and mac and cheese. The shrimp were delicious, very well seasoned, and a nice kick. The broccoli was also very well prepared and seasoned properly. The mac and cheese was not great but also not bad. Although it was not macaroni, it was bowtie. Couldn’t decide on a dessert sp I got a slice of cheesecake and a slice of rainbow. Cheesecake was delicious! The rainbow cake was good also, but very sweet. I’d definitely like to try some other things here!

The Mod Olive, formerly the Plaid Turnip, has been one of my “go to” locations for breakfast and lunch. The food is usually amazing, the prices are great, and the portions are huge, My country fried steak was a little too salty for my taste, but everything else was great! The service is always friendly and accommodating, and the 70s decor is relaxing and quaint. I really wish they would bring back the fried pickles though.

This place was extraordinary! The service was exemplary, the food was hot, fresh, and delicious. Brunch with friends was perfect. I can’t say enough about my experience! Try them for yourself!

Service was friendly. Food was fresh and delicious! This was our first visit. My husband and I stopped in on Labor Day, and it was busy. Server checked in frequently and stayed on top of things. She delivered quart sized Ball jars of water. Friendly vibe. We met some frequent diners who had all good things to say. Broiled crab cake sandwich is lots of crab! Monte Cristo is a yummy savory-sweet treat! We’ll visit again!

Sister and I were going to check out the local book convention so wanted to do a nice brunch while on the area. Plaid Turnip certainly did not disappoint. We arrived close to 11 and waited maybe 20 minutes to get a table for 2, so not unreasonable. Sis and I started with cocktails. I got the Champagne Screwdriver which was champagne, vodka, and orange juice. Sis got some type of fancy Bloody Mary. Both drunks were a great start to our meal. We ordered the fried green tomatoes for an appetizer. Absolutely luscious with their balsamic glaze and goat cheese. Their wasa bit of a wait between appetizer and mains but we were enjoying our conversation and not in a rush. For mains, I ordered the pork belly pimento breakfast bowl and sis did the southern fried chicken breakfast bowl. Both dishes were absolutely amazing though I think my sister’s bowl was slightly better than mine because of the delcious sausage gravy. Staff was great and super friendly and attentive. I would love to go back if I ever find myself in Suffolk again though I might make the drive just to try some of their other menu options.
