We dined here for lunch and there was a line almost out the front door at 12:45pm. You place your order and pay at the counter then get your beverage and then find a seat and someone will bring out your order. The order number is on the receipt so hang onto it at least until your order arrives. In spite of how busy the restaurant was, we managed to find an open table inside. There are also some tables outside in back. It was a bit chilly when we were there so we stayed in. One of the daily specials was the club which I ordered on rye with potato salad. My wife got the chicken Caesar wrap with macaroni salad. Both were very good and a good value.

We stopped by on our last night in Manteo looking for something casual that wouldn't break the…read morevacation budget. The restaurant has a fun, laid-back atmosphere, and they were getting ready for live music while we were there. We were dining with our young daughter, and once the band had finished setting up, we got the impression they were gently encouraging us to wrap things up. No one was rude about it, but it definitely felt like they preferred not to have a family with a little one there once the music got underway. My husband ordered a burger that he polished off and described simply as, "Good." Coming from him, that's actually a solid endorsement. I ordered the Cuban Reuben. The flavors were good, but I was surprised to find it served on what appeared to be a flour tortilla rather than the flatbread described on the menu. It ended up eating more like a wrap than a sandwich. I still enjoyed it, but it wasn't what I was expecting. I had ordered fries with my meal but received chips instead. I never checked the receipt to see whether I was charged for the upgrade, but it ended up working out just fine. My husband was convinced they were just really good Lay's chips. I disagreed. We still haven't settled that debate, but we both agreed they were fresh, crunchy, and delicious. My daughter ordered the grilled cheese, and after spending the week on an unofficial Outer Banks grilled cheese tour (because toddlers have priorities), this one landed somewhere around a 5/10. Overall, it was a pleasant meal with a great atmosphere, and I can absolutely see it being a fun place to grab a drink and listen to live music. It just wasn't one of the standout meals from our trip.

We continued waiting with at one point one of the waiters watching TV next to our table just standing there and then helped another new table. We got up and left and as we were leaving one of the other waiters (the outdoor waiter) asked us why we were leaving and we told them what happened and just said 'sorry' then went back inside without another word. Never walked out of a place or even left a Yelp review before, but this was by far the worst restaurant experience I've ever had.

We liked Olives so much, we dined here twice in the same week…read more I recently visited the Outer Banks for a week with my wife and we stayed in Manteo. Prior to arriving in town, I had made a reservation for dinner at Olives for later in the week. The day we arrived, after we unpacked and settled into our rental, we decided to take a walk to explore as we were staying in town. We happened to walk past Olives and decided to look at the menu - and that made us want to go there that night as we did not make any plans that evening and didn't want to get back in the car. I spoke with someone at the host stand and made a reservation for us. I figured I could cancel the reservation for later in the week after we had dinner. (Spoiler: We decided to keep the other reservation.) The food and the service were both excellent. The first night, I had the tri-tip souvlaki which was a special and my wife had the chicken souvlaki from the regular menu. We started with an order of the dolmas and they might be my new favorite. We both enjoyed our dinner and a nice booth with a view of the marina. We ordered a piece of the baklava to go. The second visit, we started with the hummus appetizer and I had the Keftedes and my wife ordered the gyro. The keftedes was so delicious with the tomato-based sauce. Luckily I had some pita to dip in that sauce. My wife enjoyed the gyro and I enjoyed the bite I got to try. The restaurant has a few greek wines on their menu but not a lot of selection. The restaurant is on the smaller side but they do have a few tables outside in the courtyard which in the nice weather is a good option and helps with capacity. I do recommend having a reservation, though. Everyone of the staff were friendly and welcoming. Special thanks to Topanga for giving us some great tips on places to visit in the OBX.

I left somewhat disappointed after looking forward to what I hoped would be an authentic Greek…read moredining experience. Unfortunately, the restaurant had already sold out of one of its signature dishes, moussaka, even though the owner had enthusiastically recommended it while speaking with us at our table. The suggested substitute, pastitsio, did not meet expectations. The béchamel layer was sparse and lacked the rich, creamy character that defines the dish, and the ziti pasta appeared to have been overcooked (even for a casserole) during reheating of a pre-prepared serving. One aspect of the meal left me puzzled. Why serve Greek rice alongside a dish that already contains plenty of starch? Greek cuisine offers so many wonderful vegetable accompaniments that would have provided better balance and showcased the flavors of the region, including fasolakia, briam, yemista, gigantes plaki, or kolokithakia tiganita. On the positive side, the staff remained attentive throughout our meal, kept our water glasses full, and genuinely tried to accommodate us. However, they did not seem fully familiar with which menu items were available (wait staff need to check the 86 board before and during service!). Several tables offer pleasant views overlooking the park and wharf, which adds to the atmosphere. I also would have enjoyed seeing more of the classic blue-and-white décor that evokes the charm of a seaside taverna in Greece. Overall, the restaurant has potential, but the execution of the food and the dining experience fell short of the expectations created by the menu and the recommendations.

Normally it's the location in Nags Head or if we're down south then Morehead City but the JM website said there was a location in Manteo so we made the trip over. Very easy to find in Manteo as the store is right by a laundromat and the old Piggly Wiggly. Not tons of parking, but it was good enough for 7pm on a weeknight. (Note that currently if you just type in Jersey Mike's Manteo on Google, the map pin is in the wrong location. Going through JM's website to a Google Map will equal the correct store location). If you've ever been to a JM's then you know that your place your order, any cold subs are more or less made right away and then for something hot you wait until it's done since everything is made to order. I order a #7 (Turkey & Provolone) and the Old Lady orders a #43 (Chipotle Cheese Steak) with a request to really grill the peppers and onions. My sub is more or less ready within a few minutes. Her sub...not so much. Working backwards, the store had just opened a little more than a week prior and aside from two people working from I assume the Nags Head location, everyone else was new and the tickets/orders were all over the place. Website, phone and in person stuff for hot orders were backed up all over the place with several people hanging out waiting for orders. After about twenty minutes, a member of the staff asked what we were waiting for and realized they gave my wife's sub to someone else picking up a take out order. Whatever. After a few minutes the correct order was fired up and all things were good. No issue with the cleanliness of the store as two members of staff (they had a lot of people working that night) were cleaning things the entire time we were there and no issues with the food quality. Sure, the long wait was a PIA but afterwards there was more apologizing than necessary and all was good.

We noticed that the cafe smelled amazing when we walked in the door. The staff were very friendly, upbeat and helpful. We ordered a large and a medium pizza which were both generous in size.

Chewy crust with the right amount of sauce. We ordered 2 garden salads which were fresh, good mix of veggies and came with a generous amount of homemade ranch dressing. The boneless chicken wings were also great. The sauce had a nice kick (if a bit of spice is your thing.) We had enough leftover for lunch the next day. The tab came to $80.00 which is a steal for dinner and lunch for 8. Wishes we lived locally; would be regulars.

We took advantage of a nook outside of the market area, which was nicely shaded with tables and chairs. There was also a lot of comfy seating inside with a couple of nooks furnished with chairs and couches for families to sit in. Past the cafe is a market area with merchandise and wine.
