The worst salad I’ve ever had. The entire salad was dripping wet and everything in it was soggy. The dressing was clearly old. Done with this place.
We LOVE Olive Oyl’s. In the 20 years we’ve lived in Tri-town, it’s our family go to at least once on the weekends. When the kids are home for school breaks throughout the year they frequent Olive Oyl’s several times a week. We love the vibe, the food, location, and especially Kevin and Jen! We are lucky to have such a great place so close to home!
My son (age 8) and I headed to beautiful downtown Essex for a delicious lunch at Olive Oyl’s. But it turned into an even more amazing experience than expected: We met Kevin- who talked with my kiddo, gave him a chef hat, showed him around… and he got to pick out yummy cookies (thanks for the extra one for me!)! It was so wonderful, and my son loved it! Thank you so much for going above and beyond to make our day so special! It meant a lot 💜
