I can’t say enough good things about Olle’s, a true hidden gem. I’ve been many times and it’s always a treat! The service is amazing, the food comes out quickly and everything is always delicious!! I highly recommend their homemade sauerkraut, if I could buy it by the bucket, I would!!! 😋
Through the years, we’ve tried most everything on the menu. It’s all good!
Authentic, delicious and pretty. That's right, I said pretty. The food was fabulous, and the timing and presentation were perfect. But I'm getting ahead of myself. When we walked in, we were greeted by Riina, the co-owner, she was walking us through the foyer to our table when my wife and I noticed the "beer cooler" and made a sharp left in unison to check out the German beer options. It was so refreshing to go to a restaurant where the beer selection is off the charts! Including an amazing Stout...if you're not a dark beer drinker, then you don't understand how amazing it is to be way off the beaten path and have a Stout in a restaurant...that never happens, at least not in Florida, we ordered two, and a Pretzel with Honey Mustard. The pretzel was crispy and salty on the outside and warm and soft on the inside, the sweet, spicy mustard was the perfect compliment! We started out with the potato Potato-Leek Soup which could have been a meal in itself. A huge mug of thick, savory soup was perfect on this rainy evening. But we didn't stop there, of course. For our entree, we both selected the Chicken Schnitzel with brown mushroom sauce. A salad came out first and we selected the jalapeno dressing, just the right amount of heat. As for the Schnitzel, we opted for the sauce on the side because we love the crunchy and didn't want to lose that. The chicken was tender and flavorful even without the sauce, but the sauce was savory, thick and creamy and loaded with thinly sliced mushrooms, just delicious. On this particular day, there was a large family celebrating their grandmother's birthday, which was fun since it was my wife's birthday too, so they had a fun conversation on that, and after our dinner, unsolicited, Riina brought my wife a slice of their delicious cheese cake with a birthday candle, so sweet and the literal icing on the cake! I ordered their Amaretto Biscotti Layer Cake, it was amazing. We will be back.

This place is owned and operated by a lovely German couple, and they are super nice and the food here is absolutely S tier. They also have a pretty good selection of german import beer. The Schnitzel and Spätzel was perfectly done and as authentic as it comes. 10/10 recommend!

1st time at Ollie's. We were so impressed with all the food. The rolls and the sauerkraut are made in house to even growing the cabbage! I spent 25 years in Germany and this food is exacty like any I had there. I highly recommend this place. Please make reservations before going. Cordon Bleu is now stuffed Schnitzel.

Have been once, a few months ago. We were pleased, but not blown away. It was very good, and we will go again for sure. It's nice to have a unique place in the area, and needing reservations keeps it quiet and minimal. I would like to see some kind of gravy or sauce with the spatzel, as I love spatzel but I have always had it with some kind of gravy. Maybe this isn't authentic and the way this place does it is. No idea. But it was good, nonetheless. Will go back.
