This great place is my new local favorite. Super clean, beautifully decorated, food is awesome and the staff is great! It's definitely not just another diner.

Glorified diner food AND WAY overpriced. Red sauce has no taste on my friends chicken parm. Seafood is NOT fresh! Flies are EVERYWHERE. Prime Rib IS NOT primerib- flash fried, reheated prime rib and the seasoning was gross. Drinks are WAAAY OVERPRICED. Pick a different restaurant

Wonderful Restaurant and Bar! Probably the best in South Jersey. The food is exquisite with ample variety of dishes. The service is outstanding with three excellent bartenders: Beth, Christine and Tracy who will go out of their ways to make you feel great. The Owner Ibrahim is all about providing superb customer service. He will come out often to check in his customers and make sure that their drinking and eating experience at the Green Olive Restaurant is unforgivable!

First time visit since renovation. Had the calamari which needed to be cooked a bit longer and desperately needed salt. Smallish portion with no tentacles. Marinara needed to be requested.
Followed up with Philly Cheesesteak pizza. Lots of meat, albeit large pieces, some difficult to chew through. Used the marinara from appetizer which made it better. Service was attentive. Neither server nor bar knew the variety of draft beer from my fave brewer (Mudhen of Wildwood). However, I was offered a taste (1883 IPA). Overall, not bad. Will return as we are intrigued by the ‘petite’ entree offerings

Terrible ,,,never going back. Good food terrible bartenders
Day two was bad as well
Literally had a bartender tell me she gotta go and I need to cash out on the bill. All before coffee and dessert. Never seen a restraint bar have so much potential and hire the wrong people to keep people coming in

Tried to order a pizza by using there order app.
Waited 30 minutes to be finally took they didn’t have my order. Are you serious! After being told it would be a few more minutes! Then was told they didn’t have my order and I’m showing them my mobile order on my phone! The hostess showed the owner and he was worried he wasn’t getting paid for it! Show them my bank change that show it was paid for. So after all that they were going to make my pizza. Then was told that I was only getting a 12 inch pizza because that what they said was paid for. I said I ordered a 16 “ and didn’t want

Ordered a Cheese Steak Pizza. Asked for no onions. The receipt said no onions. Got home and opened the box, covered with onions. Called back and they said they would swap the pizza for a new one. Drove… back and exchanged the pizza. Had to drive there twice, you think they would at least offer me a few bucks back. The second pizza was noticeably smaller and had extra cheese. We did not want extra cheese! The cheese was overwhelming and you could not taste anything but the cheese. My wife wanted me to return that one too! No more business from us!

Has become my most favorite local restaurant. Trisha was our waitress and her smile and knowledge made the first visit spectacular. I absolutely recommend. The food was 5 stars

Quick service. Our waitress brought refills before we even realized we needed them. Staff was very friendly and polite. Beautiful and relaxing environment. Food was amazing. Don’t get me started on the pizza! My favorite place for pizza, puts everywhere else to shame! I’ll definitely be returning and telling all my family and friends.

Pros: clean inside and out. Staffing is pleasant, I suggest asking for Morgan. Pot roast and meatloaf were excellent. Yes I said meatloaf .it had a sage flavor and was cook just right . Portions just right . Quick service. Kid friendly. Great dessert selection, I recommend the banana swirl or apple pie. Managers / chiefs are attentive on the floor. The bread with oil was fresh and warm. The oil had a slight sweetness to it. A place you can leave not stuffed but satisfied.
Cons: I really don't have one . The mash potatoes can out a little cold, they were quick to make sure we were happy. The prices

The service was great but the crab soup had a horrible smell as though a major ingredient was spoiled. An aroma that the kitchen staff had to be aware of. I hope after informing the waitress, management would remove that item from the menu until they resolve the issue.

Just had breakfast at the Millville location. I had heard that the decor was very nice, and that didn't disappoint! It reminds me of the Cheesecake Factory, which may have been intentional since they used to get their cheesecake from there. I was not impressed with the food or the service. The dining room is large, with only one waitress this morning. They weren't busy yet as we were there early, but the kitchen and coffee were not convenient for her. So, coffee refill was a wait, and she had a large area to cover. Food was okay, but everything arrived just slightly warm, not hot

This was my first visit and I only got lunch so I can't really review the food yet but the atmosphere was nice, I felt safe dining in, they greet me at the door and sat me right away. Staff was friendly and no body walked past my table without speaking even though they weren't my waitress. I felt the service was fast and the food was fresh. I only got a salad for lunch so I'll have to update my review of the food at a later date. They have clean bathrooms, a fully stocked bar with seating and a wall of desserts to choose from. Plenty of parking, easy to see from the road, handicap accessible, eat

Tried to give them another chance... was told take out 40 mins so I showed up 45 mins later to give them the extra 5 since they've been slow in the past. Well multiply 40 by 2 and that's how long we had to wait for take out. It really wasn't even busy. Sad to see what this place has become. Third times the charm and lesson learned won't be back.

Ok, WOW, the service from Jasmine is and was first class, personable, authentic, genuine and just an amazing human being that really brought the service to a whole new level.
Food was amazing, for a California boy who lives on Mexican food and healthy lifestyle the food was just delicious. Well done Jasmine and Green Olive team, nicely done!!!!!!

This place is a glorified diner charging restaurant prices. You don't have to worry about getting drunk here you won't be able to afford the drinks. Big city prices in Frog Balls, Arkansas.

This place is really expensive. Spent 17+$$ for 1 chicken breast sliced in half with mashed potatoes and some frozen veggies. It's a cool building but the overhead they must have influences their prices. I ended up throwing away my food cause the chicken was so dry and hard that I couldn't eat it.

Was over charged , I was scammed ordered a crab melt and returned the fries (this is take out due to the covid 19) because they didn't have the original fries only old Wendy fries. I returned the fries because I should've been made aware of they didn't have the restaurant fries only Wendy fries , My receipt says one thing but my bank transaction says another . If you do the math they cashier tipped herself . Be careful paying with a card. I wonder how many people they do this too . The service was horrible because the cashier didn't wear a mask or gloves while touching food

We have driven by Green Olive many times when it was not convenient to stop. Today (New Year's Day) was different and we stopped for lunch. While the restaurant was not crowded, it had a steady stream of customers and there was plenty of polite and helpful staff.

My wife had the Prime Rib Cheese Steak sandwich and I had the French Dip sandwich. We each had a cup of the Cream of Broccoli soup. My wife's soup was included with her sandwich as she had chosen one of the several lunch specials. Both lunches came with really good French Fries. Also we received warm rolls and olive oil

Not sure why this place has only three stars. We stopped in for lunch while waiting for our new car to be detailed. the server was attentive and the food was delicious and huge portions. Only thing I would change is a dipping sauce for the breadsticks. We had the Mediterranean Chicken and Chicken Marsala....both had great flavors and we really could have shared one! We will definitely be back.

This place is hit or miss. The linguini with clam sauce is always delicious. The beer and wine selection is great but the salmon is not good. I would not recommend getting the salmon here. It did not taste fresh.

They also have a serious fly problem. I counted over 20 flies swarming around and above my table. Which totally destroyed my appetite. There has to be a way for them to get rid of the flies. I am sure a good pest control company can help them eradicate the flies.

For the price this place is worth checking out. The menu is extensive and has something for everyone on it. But beware of
