The food was good when we finally got. We have been here several times and it has never been perfect. It has always been lacking. I was sweating in the restaurant because it was so hot in the restaurant. So sad, it has the potential to be such a nice place. I cannot see them making it over the long haul. What a waste, why do something so mediocre? So, so sad. Disappointing.

I will start out that the waitress was nice. Ok, now for the food review. We ordered mozzarella sticks for an appetizer and they came out still frozen in the center. So we sent them back and they just dropped the ones we already had back in the fryer. I had spit out a chewed up piece onto the plate, because it was frozen, and that chewed up, spit out piece made it back with all of the other pieces. Then the chicken parm and spaghetti and meatball came out. They were not good, the chicken was chewy and the breading was mushy. The meatball had a bad after taste. They also don’t offer any other type of noodle other than spaghetti. It’s more of a bar that try’s to serve Italian. We will not return.

Food was excellent, service was just ok. Sat outside on a beautiful Friday night, very nice atmosphere with the piano singer for entertainment(aside from the parking lot noise). Very reasonable prices! Good variety of bar food and Italian delights, I can’t wait to go back and try something different.

So the meals have improved considerably and the wait staff the past half dozen or so visits has been pleasant to exceptional. Have to give props when due. It looks like Olive is really trying to get it together. And it’s about time. There’s some pretty good competition in the area. Recommend watching the traffic and reviews, and plan for a makeover in the not too distant future. Smoke free outside would be advisable. Better beer and wine selections. Mixing up the entertainment would be nice to.

All I can say is if are in a rush not the place to stop. Waited 10 minutes at the door before we were seated, 10 minutes before we ordered drinks and another 30 for food. Think it could be a great place if they just get there servers in check on how to wait on customers in a timely manner.

I will say that the food was good but that is all I can say good about this place. We have been there a few times and each time the service was poor. This visit started out by ordering Fried Pickles, they were out so we skipped the appetizers… This visit there were two other groups of customers, one table had three people, the other had eight… The group of eight got their food ate it, paid for it and left, we still had no food. The waitress never came over to check on us. After 30 minutes waiting for our Sub and Hamburger, the waitress walked past us, I told her we were getting ready to leave. She did at this point say she was sorry for the long and said the food is coming right up. Again, the food is good but not worth the wait, we will not be back.

Stopped into The Stuffed Olive on a Tuesday night about 7p. There were very few people In the restaurant portion and several tables busy in the bar. We grabbed a seat at the bar as we were hoping to grab a quick bite. That was a mistake. We waited over 30 minutes for a meatball sub and a sandwich. The salad was not anything super special nor the sandwich. We were however entertained by «the crazy lady» who, best as I could tell, had a party and invited the bartenders and somehow made a fool of herself. She was pretty loudly apologetic every minute or so hoping to be appeased. Of course while the bartenders were sitting and talking, we weren’t being served. The place emptied out and we ate a very late dinner with«the crazy lady» and bartenders. Don’t think I’d go back. Mediocre food, terrible service.

The food is just okay and the ambiance isn’t that bad except if you are sitting outside and have the most spectacular view of the Food Lion and parking lot. My waitress was bitter and actually cussed several times. I now know why I haven’t been before and will never go back. It could have been so much better.

The husband and I are never disappointed with the food… there are times we actually crave the fried pickles because they are not greedy like other places, their Mantini is wonderful. Service there however can be hit or miss. There are two bartenders there that are superb one from NJ and the other I believe has been there since the place opened, we have learned to go on specific days to avoid agrivation of being left there for 20 mins after we have already put our menus down, or being inside when it is completely dead enough to hear the poor servers complain about their jobs, but we still love the place

The outside and inside don’t do the food justice. My husband had the chicken parmesan sandwich with chips and I went with the mussels appetizer and small side salad as my meal. The food takes a little longer probably Because they actually put some TLC into it. My mussels were cooked to perfection and had some high quality Parmesan cheese shaved on the top, yum-o! The portions are large and the mussels were more than enough for a large lunch. My husbands sandwich was probably as big as his head but didn’t stop him from taking it down :)

I stopped in here with a few friends & family to have a couple of beers last week. The service was fast and friendly. We did not eat — so I can’t comment about the food. However, for a comfy little watering hole, this is a cool place to stop in.

Great beer selection and the pizza was pretty good. The servers were super nice but for as small as the restaurant is the service was terribly slow. We were there on a Sat. night and got a table pretty much right away, but after and hour and a half with no pizza we had to take dinner to go since we had a toddler with us. Not sure we will try it again.

Waxhaw is picking up some bars. The Stuffed Olive is one of them. Got a chance to pop in recently for a couple of beers with some co workers. Nice selection of craft beers. It wasn’t too busy on a Monday night except for a few regulars. I did try the fried pickles, not bad, not bad at all. Next time I’m in Waxhaw I’ll be sure to stop in again.

Really good place, a gem. We’ve been here a little more than a year and just discovered it tonight. Pizza sticks, eggplant parm and lobster ravioli were amazing. The place stocks Heineken Lights, not a lot places around here do. Wifey enjoyed Blue Moon on draft and didn’t have to ask for an orange. The garlic bread and Chocolate Molten Lava cake were five star! We’ll certainly be visiting again and getting take-out. Did I mention the service? Impeccable, the restaurant is run by husband and wife.

First, the positives. My friend and I each had a pizza. The crust was delicious and as far as I’m concerned, anything tastes good with goat cheese on it. It was a lovely night, so we sat outdoors. They have a decent menu with some interesting items. We got there around 6 pm on a Monday night and there were only about 6 – 8 people. Our pizza was taking a long time and our server said it was because they had to roast more eggplant for the pizza. Ok… so the pizza arrives and there is no detectable eggplant on either pizza. I questioned the server and she said that it was in the sauce and you couldn’t see it. I called BS on that one. We were hungry after waiting about 35 – 40 minutes so we didn’t push the issue.

I was expecting a lot more after seeing some good reviews on here. The food is ok. The wings I got were ok. Nothing to write home about. My fiancé got the pizza and she said it was alright. My brother got the chicken pita sandwich, and he said it was alright. My friend got another sandwich there and said it was ok. The food was pretty average, nothing that really set this place apart. Something that did set this place apart was the service. It was pretty terrible, both times I’ve gone here. First visit was around 5pm on a weekend. Our waitress was nice and polite but she never came by to offer refills etc. She left us our checks and literally we sat at the table for 15 minutes(obviously ready to leave) before she came back to take our payments. The second time I went to the Olive was on a week night around 7pm. I went for a few drinks while a couple of my friends got dinner. They do have a very good beer selection. Several craft beers on draft. We got our drinks fast and the two eating put in orders for sandwiches and fries. I am not exaggerating at all when I say this: we waited over an hour for two sandwiches and fries. Our waitress was very polite. She kept apologizing for the wait saying it will only be a few more minutes(probably 3 times over a period of 30 minutes lol.) We ended up getting our drinks comp’d because of the wait. Even so, the people who waited for the food said it was good, but not an hours wait good, and definitely didn’t taste like a $ 10 sandwich. The two times I’ve been there have been more of a hassle than anything. Maybe the bar is better, but I won’t be going back for a meal.

Good food… not fantastic but the odds are you won’t leave disappointed. Wings are excellent and the Patty Malt is a solid choice. Good beer selection. This is a cut above your typical bar food joint. My only complaint is the house music. You go from great songs to bad 70’s songs. The live music is generally pretty good. I suggest you give it a try!

Given the rave reviews and high star rating we were both very disappointed. We also live in Sun City, but still have our taste buds, so that might account for most of those ratings. Yes, the beer selections were super. Lots of drafts. 4 stars Menu was, as another 2 star rater mentioned… just sandwiches, burgers and pizza. Also we asked as to the soup of the day and were informed that they no longer do soup because no one orders it. Otherwise, the menu was as described. 3 stars Ambiance was nice. Well done, fancy for a beer bar with separate eating area from the bar that did have only tall tables in the bar area. 4 stars It was around 5:45 so was not crowded, esp for a Friday night, but the service was slow. I ordered a beer, wife a wine and water. Got the beer and had to ask twice for the wine and another time on top of that for the water. Waitress was nice, frank and friendly. 3 stars. The food was the killer a low 2 stars. Ordered the battered pickle appetizer which was great, especially the buffalo ranch for dipping. Very yum and a huge portion. 4 stars. Authentic brick oven pizza is their advertized forte. Lots of selections, no other options. Ordered the Margarita. It was burned on the outside crust and all along the bottom. Like NY as some rater commented? NOWAY! Yes, brick oven pizza is done at very high heat over a very short period of cooking. This was burned. OH! and it was hyped as olive oil brushed… if you say so. And $ 13 for a 12 inch pizza with 8 slices of tomato and 6 small globs of cheese? Out-of-bounds. So burned pizza, «It is brick oven baked said the waitress.» And the toppings were so minimal that there was no flavor to compete with the char. Hard and flavorless. 1 star. When I asked the waitress what was popular she gushed over the lasagna. 9 layers, etc. It came. Hefty portion. At first I thought that it was meatless, but I did pull through the layers of noodles to find a few small bits of meat. Mostly ricotta and only a slab of mozzarella on top. Tomato sauce was basic, just about right out of the can… flavorless. The lasagna was equally flavorless. 1 star Wife ate three pieces of pizza, I ate one. We took half home to show the neighbors. Tried it again for lunch the next day, threw it out. I ate about one fourth of the lasagna, took the rest home. Wife ate half of the 75% we brought home the next day and threw out the rest… just about 50% of it tossed. Does this sound like great food to you? If you drink a lot of booze and lack taste buds and wouldn’t know flavor if you tripped over it then this is YOUR kind of place. Nice appearance without any real substance. There were a lot of families with small children, so given the blah food, just right for little kids and exhausted parents that are not there for the food, just the convenience. We won’t be back. Why repeat a bad experience? You have been warned.

Love this place! We went here to grab a burger and beer with the intention of heading home to unwind, but ended up staying because the atmosphere was so great. The bartender put both a football and baseball game on for us, and we were able to keep tabs on our teams while still enjoying live music and great conversation with other patrons. This restaurant/bar is small, and I believe they become more of a «bar» after 10p.m. than a restaurant. The food was excellent. It’s your typical pub fair, but classed up a bit. They had some sort of sirloin special going on too, but seriously, how can I order a steak if you’re offering a hamburger piled high with everything, including a fried egg with sweet potato fries on the side? Perhaps most impressive about the Stuffed Olive is their craft beer selection. They have Palm Ale on tap — very tasty! We’ll definitely be back soon!
