I had the turkey dinner there a few times. Last time was Friday night. Fantastic! The chef had the black coat and I thought he would make a great plate. I was right he did. One other time I had the turkey not so much but Friday was great!

I've passed by Oliver's for years, but never had the time to actually stop in and order. I finally did and treated my group of four to dinner. No wait time for seating, you just pick a comfy spot. The booths are clean, comfortable, and retro. A fine selection of oldies tunes through the sound system sell the retro diner feeling and help out you at ease. As they serve breakfast all day, I had Huevos Rancheros and coffee. Fast, tasty coffee and the huevos were savory with the eggs just the way I asked. The fruit included with the dish was also fresh, sweet, and perfectly sized. My group also requested mozzarella sticks and fried green beans for appetizers. I particularly loved the breading on both of these!
Other dishes we had were the sirloin steak with daily soup (veggie and beef), omelette, and spaghetti with sausage. Everyone is impressed with the quality and sizing of portions. Not a single mark against the food, only positives! Afterwards, I had the slice of apple pie with a scoop of huckleberry ice cream. A delectable dessert!
Our waitress, Dana, was also friendly and accommodating. She seemed to have a sixth sense for whenever we needed something or had a request for desserts.
I will definitely be visiting Oliver's again and I hope to try many more dishes from the menu!

I’ve been going to Oliver’s for close to 30 years, it’s Pocatello staple. The menu is huge, some items are a bit weird, but overall it’s a solid little diner. My favorite is the Cobb Salad and vegetarian chili over potatoes. Service is always decent, the same guys have been cooking there since I can remember, decent vegetarian options, good coffee and breakfast.

Biggest issue is cold food, it happens regularly. Today, to my surprise, I spent $50 on a breakfast sandwich, omelet, home fries and two drinks. That’s a bit steep imo, even in our current economic situation.

I love Oliver’s, however I have noticed that none of the cooks wear beard covers or bouffant caps. I worry that someone’s hair will find it’s way into my food. That’s enough to ruin the whole experience and to make me or someone else never come back in. I hope I see a change in the hygiene regulations.

Oliver’s is a quintessential American diner. From the layout, seats at the bar, vintage decor, and booths it’s what you expect at a diner. The menu is very large and you’re sure to find something you like. Breakfast is served all day! Food is made after you order but even at that it is a wait. Nothing quick about it. Inexpensive food for the portions. Food quality was average; literally what you expect from a diner. Nothing impressive or out of the ordinary. Wonderful place to visit and friendly staff

Pretty good place. Like a nicer diner restaurant. Better than Elmers for sure. Food could be tweaked a little. Needed seasonings.
Service was great. Very friendly and down home.

I went in and ordered a chicken salad, something i had got for 30 years from there. I got it to go because my husband was in the hospital. When i opened it it was a big bowl of slop. No chicen salad just a piece of chicken cut up on slop. No roll that was suppose to come with it. I will not ever go back

The last of the old school dinners! Great service and prices, the food is good and gives you that homemade feel. Great place to go when you're hungry and just want to eat.

After a horrible experience at another restaurant, the Staff here at Oliver's really showed us the 5 star treatment and we are so grateful. We came in feeling like burdens and left feeling like family. 10 stars if I could and shout out to our waitress Hailey who really made us feel welcome and changed our whole day around
