Saw the high rating and thought I’d give it a try. Decided to go with the shrimp and grits lunch special and it did not disappoint. Such a great creamy and savory flavor bomb. Took the German chocolate cake to go and it was such a light and delectable treat. Great service and very personable and friendly staff!Parking: Parking located right next to the restaurant, on the south eastern side. Little crowded for lunch but there are other parking spots nearby

The best sit down restaurant in the Crestview/FWB area. All the dishes are amazing and it’s our restaurant of choice for celebrations and when our friends are in town. They have a great dessert selection and special items menu as well. Highly recommend!

Yall, this is my first time at Wild Olive... Honestly, I kinda had one eyebrow up thinking, I ain't gonna like this place. I WAS WRONG. The service was just ok but the food was REALLY good. From my Mediterranean salad, to my Ribeye to my Chesecake. I enjoyed it all. I did think I should of had more mashed potatoes with the steak, but what I had I really enjoyed. My Mom ordered the Mahi-Mahi and thought it was super delicious. I tried a piece (Im NOT a seafood fan) and it was thick and had a texture like chicken. No fishy taste at all. We took 4 desserts home. Raspberrry/ Lemon Cheesecake, Red Velvet cake, Hot Chocolate cake and a Carrot Cake. The Carrot Cake WON! It was moist and soooooo good. While we were there, a couple at our neighboring table that made conversation with us. Once our meal was over, they gave us their "school support card" to use. They saved us 15%!!! I was pleasedly surprised and highly recommend the Wild Olive. If I lived in Crestview, we'd be on a first name basis with the staff.
We were initially in Crestview for work as we come here a couple times out the month. We usually get some type of fast food but decided to give this place a try. We ordered the Shrimp Alfredo, Shrimp and grits, Carrot Cake, and tiramisu all to go.THIS HAD TO HAVE BEEN THE BEST FOOD IVE HAD IN A LONG TIME!!! Literally not one single complaint I will go broke spending my money on this because I will be coming here every single time I’m in town!!!

My family and I come here every year around Christmas on our way to see the lights in Defuniak Springs. They offer a simple menu (not too big) with great selections for the whole family. From their bread and pastas to their steak and burger you can't go wrong here. Great atmosphere with great service. Clean, friendly and delicious! This will remain our go to spot in Crestview for nice family diners for years to come.

Really nice mom and pops restaurant. With beautiful decor. Looks like someone house. The food was delicious. My wife got the southern salad with grilled shrimp and she loved it. I got the steak sandwich with sweet potatoe fries and was similarly impressedTheir desserts are also super tasty and the servers are extremely helpful and friendly!
Fast service and friendly atmosphere. Loved the waitress that served us tonight ? she definitely deserves some praising y'all. It's Christian based and there food is definitely worth trying ❤️ would definitely recommend them to be a 5 starParking: It was packed but still had room to spare! ?

So disappointed. Heard this place was great. We took our daughter there tonight for her 21st birthday. Checked online to make sure they were open and it said open until 8 PM. Then we got there and they had a sign on the door = Closed for private event! Would have been nice to have that mentioned online. Did not know we had to call to make sure you’re open on a Thursday night!
