My husband and I enjoyed dinner together here for the first time. His chicken fried steak was huge and yummy and my steak salad was perfectly balanced. Service was carefully attentive. You can’t miss out on a sumptuous, quiet experience here.

Super kind staff! I came in to grab something to eat before a super long shift—I think they could tell I was about to go to work since since I had an apron around my waist. The manager was so kind and offered me a pastry on the house since my wait had been about twenty minutes for a takeout order (which, might I add, was actually pretty fast since the restaurant was pretty packed!) and made me an extra coffee as I was leaving. I already love to come here when I can but this definitely made my day! And, the food was SO GOOD.

Everything baked from scratch that is offered on a bun or bread, many gluten-free options. Prices are Bonkers for the quality. Friendly staff, and very clean. Quite Charming

I ordered a 8oz sirloin steak, medium rare. What I received was a less than 1/2” thick sirloin that was still bleeding and RARE.

I asked to have it fixed, but to my surprise, the same exact steak—already cut into—was brought back out, just reheated. Reheating a previously served steak and expecting it to magically become medium rare? Completely unacceptable.

Re-cooking something that was already on a guest’s plate is a food safety concern and just poor kitchen practice. To do that, without a fresh replacement or even an apology, on a clearly marked birthday dinner, was incredibly disappointing.

This should’ve been a special night with my family. Instead, it was a complete letdown.

The Olive Branch catered our Thanksgiving lunch. The food is amazing! Shout out to Leah who took on this catering job after another company had to back out due to an unfortunate circumstance. Thank you, Leah!

This is the first time that my husband and I have eaten here. The service was amazing and the staff worked so well together. You could tell that teamwork made this dream work. The staff was also so polite. If you are in town, you should stop by!

Delicious biscuits, great service, wonderful brunch. Fun for family occasion with good atmosphere, large portions and flexible menu. Add the side of gravy. We loved the round table at the top of the stairs. Perfect spot for a birthday breakfast! Worth the wait.

We had brunch here for the first time today. It was wonderful. Heather was a fantastic waitress. We met the owner Leah. She did a wonderful job checking on all the tables making sure all the customers had everything they needed. She’s so friendly. The food was delicious with generous portions. There were 4 of us and we all loved our meals. We will definitely be back!
