Sunday brunch 11:am. One group of 20 and another group of 16. Plus the regular walk in customers. So that made things busy for them. They have a very large menu so the kitchen must be well organized. The hot food came out Hot and the cold food was Cold. The waitresses are well experienced and professional so the service was good. The restaurant was very busy but the atmosphere wasn't too crowded for all that was going on.

Traditional midwest café & menu. Lots of diners there by arrival approx 11:30. When I left the place almost full. Amazingly, given their location within an I-35 exit ramp with numerous cafés, restaurants, including at least two well known national chains. When I saw this cafe's sign, just as I had taken said exit, I decided to give this café a try, instead. Wow. Very pleased!

We've always had good experiences at Olivia's. Usually we are there for the Sunday breakfast buffet, at which time it's busy, but they are still usually pretty quick.
They do a nice job of keeping the buffet filled and clean.
The servers are normally quite attentive even though they are busy.
It can be loud, because the restaurant is busy and the diners are packed in pretty tight in the back, but it's generally a happy place.
Definitely recommend.

Many people like to visit this restaurant because it is traditional and has a calm atmosphere. At opening time, many people visit for talk and food. The wait staff is pleasant and even prepares for regulars by setting out coffee or tea.

Olivia’s hosted our youth hockey team while we were in town for a tournament. We made a reservation and they were prepared to take on our group of 38 people!! The service was phenomenal and the food was amazing! If we’re ever in town again, we will definitely be stopping in at Olivia’s! Thank you! 💚💛

Tonight we had a great meal. Fresh salad and great fish and more. We even had the owner wait on us. We felt spoiled and special. THANKYOU Olivia.
