    TENDERS, FRIES
    Steven J.

    Had a decent, but not phenomenal meal from here. Ordered the Chicken Tenders & Fries, which are supposedly house made. I don't think I've ever seen a singular, family owned shop specializing in Chicken Tenders, so I was intrigued. The Tenders were okay, they needed some more seasoning, but they were definitely crispy. The fries were a bit on the soggy side and were salty. Maybe I'm picky but I don't think the meal was 100% worth the price-- it was filling though.

    Chicken Sandwich
    Cathy S.

    We stopped here on our way to the hotel while on vacation. We were looking for a place to eat, and between Yelp and Google, this is what we chose based on reviews. We walked in, and the lady at the front counter was super friendly. No, she was not the owner. She was a worker who enjoyed serving people. She offered suggestions as to what to order. The seasoning they use for the chicken they also use on their fries. The seasoning is good. The place was clean, and the ambiance was nice. Since they cook everything to order, it took a few minutes for our food. In fact, our food was still hot when we reached our hotel! They did a great job packing everything! Everything tasted good. To our surprise they gave us free fries and wrote a special note on our bag! Wow, great customer service! Thank you!

    Amazing chicken. 10/10. The rotisserie chicken melts in your mouth. We will be back!!

    Crispy Chicken Sandwich
    David C.

    The reviews were true! This place is amazing! I got the crispy chicken sandwich and fries to go. Nibbled on a couple fries on the drive. Almost whipped it around and went back for a large, soooo good! The Sammy, perfections! Juicy chicken with a, as it says, crispy coating. Not soggy at all. The pickles are amazing on it as well. Location super clean and welcoming. The staff super friendly and happy to tell you about the menu items. Great place, I'll be back!

    Chicken tenders and fries are pretty good. They're made fresh My two year old son liked it

    Fried chickpeas and Mac salad
    John H.

    This was our first visit today, and everything was great! The location is right across from the 7-Eleven on the southwest corner of Manchester and Berry. It's where the old Fox photo was, and I think pie pizza was in there for a bit, it seems like what they have to offer here is the best fit! The owner was running the window, and her husband is the chef, very friendly service, and always makes me happy to see people who generally seem to be enjoying what they are doing. I have the Doritos burrito and added sides of the Mac salad (almost sort of refreshing with the cilantro and not so heavy feeling like some macs) and the fried chickpeas (these are super tasty and incredibly light, a really awesome snack). I got my toddler the kids meal with chicken nuggets, there are three of them so I had one of them and I can say the chicken was outrageously succulent. My wife got the main salad, I am blanking on the name and our friend the chicken wings. I'll have to check in with them for details but all accounts so far they said they really like it! I definitely want to try the rotisserie chicken style next time, today for whatever reason I was craving a burrito, but I could tell from the chicken nugget that the chicken itself seems like a must have. So four people were eating (3 adults and a toddler), and we added a couple of sides just because we wanted to see what they were all about. With tax and service charge which I think is for ordering online plus we left 10% tip (which of course is optional) it was right around $70. that seems a little pricey, but you also have to realize that prices have gone up across-the-board pretty much everywhere. It's also all higher quality stuff so I think the old axiom "you get what you pay for" rings true. Also, the website is really nice and well constructed, I also thought it was cool that when you schedule ahead on an order, they are asking you to be there at that specific time. If done correctly, which it was today, you are in and out super fast. We will definitely return and try to get everything else on the menu

I only saw two high top tables for two people and they were in corners. So we sat in a corner on backless stools. Stools in restaurants should have backs!Pretty uncomfortable and we won't do that again. It also has really high ceilings so it got pretty loud in there. Our server was Erin and she was good! The place was packed inside and outside (in the rain - there were umbrellas over the tables) so the staff was super busy. She kept the drinks and food coming at a good pace. We started off with drinks and onion rings. We had been told how good the onion rings were so we had to order them - they lived up to the hype! I'm not a beer drinker, but my husband is. He had three different ones and didn't really enjoy any of them. He tried Tidewater Plains, Master of the Universe, and Batholith. I had a Jungleberg cocktail and liked it so much, I ordered another one. The server said they were out of them. There were five ingredients in the drink so I have no idea what they were out of. I ordered a Spicy Ancho Margarita and it was okay. It shouldn't be called spicy, because it is not. I ordered Chicken Wings and Onion Soup. Yes, it was summer. But it was cold and rainy and soup sounded good! The soup was very good - very cheesy and they didn't put a chunk of bread in there to get all soggy, which I appreciated. The wings were okay. They were way too saucy for me. My husband got the Philly and said it was okay, but nothing special. I would have probably given 3.5 stars, but that is not an option. I'd go back for the onion rings!

I ended up getting the LW burger with pub cheese and it came with shoe string fries, the burger was thick and juicy, while the shoe string fries with garlic aioli as my sauce was, perfect! This is a pretty good family atmosphere, they have high top tables but also had high top high chairs! A real positive in our book, haven't ran into many restaurants that have this option. I would suggest if you have little ones to order your food when they take your drinks because the service can be hit or miss depending on the time you go, and food can take a little longer than expected. So get the little ones ordered in first and then decide on the adults.

I could get vegan eggs and vegan bacon, and my friends could get their chicken eggs and turkey bacon. My favorites here were the vegan milkshakes, pancakes, vegan bacon, brussels sprouts, and the shrimp po'boy.

Since then, Olive + Oak has moved to its current location, which is spacious, airy and filled with light. And somehow, our experience last night was even better than what I remembered. I was having dinner with three friends I used to work with, and Abby, our server, was outstanding from start to finish. I arrived first and had a chance to chat with her before everyone else got there. Her energy and personality immediately stood out, and I knew she was going to be a hit with our group. Hard to believe she has been at Olive + Oak for only six months. She kept taking care of us throughout the evening. She really wanted us to try the grilled carrots, so she brought us an order on the house. Later, one of the managers stopped by with wine glasses and poured us some wine, also compliments of the restaurant. Those unexpected touches made an already great evening even more memorable. With four of us, we were able to explore quite a bit of the menu. We started with the Chicken Wings, Charred Octopus and Lion's Mane Steak. All three were distinctive and delicious. The Fried Green Tomato Salad was enormous, easily enough for all four of us to share, and packed with flavor. We learned it was leaving the menu after that night, so our timing was pretty good. For my entrée, I had the Grilled Flank Steak with crispy Parmesan potatoes, along with a side of Olive + Oak fries. Incredible. The fries were world-class, and Abby even tracked down some barbecue sauce for me to dunk them in. And those Grilled Carrots Abby insisted we try? Wow! Definitely one of the surprises of the night. We finished by sharing two new desserts, the Cloud Cake and Samoa Cookie Cake. Both were super delicious and a great way to end the meal. We ultimately spent more than three hours at Olive + Oak, and never once felt rushed. We were there to reconnect, tell stories and enjoy being together again. Great food certainly mattered, but the warm, attentive service made the evening even better. Eight years was way too long between visits. Olive + Oak remains my favorite St. Louis restaurant.

We were 11th in line when we signed up, and by the time we arrived, we had moved up to 5th. Since it was raining, we decided to wait in the car. When we reached 3rd in line, we were unexpectedly removed from the waitlist. I tried calling the phone number listed on Yelp, which was the same number displayed on the building, but it went straight to what sounded like a personal cellphone voicemail. We decided to go inside anyway and discovered the waitlist wasn't necessary because there were plenty of tables available. The menu had a lot of interesting options, although I wish it included photos of the dishes. We ordered the Hawaiian Bowl, the Truffle Burger, and what I believe was the Blueberry Jam Burger, along with regular fries and sweet potato fries. The burgers were juicy and flavorful, and each bun was stamped with the Circle 7 branded logo, which was a nice touch. The Hawaiian Bowl was delicious and generously portioned. I had enough left over for another meal. The atmosphere is definitely more of a sports bar than a traditional restaurant. Every wall seemed to have multiple TVs, making it easy to watch the soccer matches from just about anywhere in the dining room. Our waitress was friendly, attentive, and checked on us several times throughout the meal. Before leaving, we couldn't decide on just one dessert, so we ordered the dessert sampler. The cobbler was the standout--it tasted homemade, especially the crust, and all of the desserts were served with ice cream. The only disappointment was the brownie, which was quite hard instead of soft and fudgy. Overall, we enjoyed the food and the service. The only downside was the confusing Yelp waitlist experience, which could definitely use some improvement.
