The wild olive has always been one of my favorite restaurants, but the last time I went, it just…read moreseemed like the menu was a lot smaller and maybe some enthusiasm has been lost. It's still a good restaurant probably the best one in town no doubt about it. They do make an excellent dinner. I love taking my wife there and will always go back there because really there's not any place kind of above a pair of shorts and a T-shirt in Crestview, but thank y'all for what you doing and like I said just seemed to kind of have missed a little bit of a zip but it's still very good. Thank you very much.DEAS&Rcrestivew

I don't know why I went back to this place. I guess I wanted to give them another chance. Not…read morefriendly, tons of empty tables in the main room and we got sat on the back of the plain back room that looks like a hospital or military cafeteria. I should have left then, but no we ordered. Everything takes forever, my shrimp was uncooked. Shrimp it is not supposed to be translucent! For the hefty price of the ribeye it was awful thin, Then comes the bill - Impact Fee? Are you serious? Not a sign at front that says we charge an impact fee. Do yourselves a favor check your bill. $85 later for 2 no alcohol I felt robbed. I don't mind paying for good food and service but this was terrible. Definitely will never be back.

My son and I check out of our hotel and needed spot to for breakfast. Our target? A charming little…read morecafé that looked like it had big dreams and about 85% of the throw pillows to prove it. We grabbed seats at the bar--prime real estate for both people-watching and silent negotiations with the universe about how long coffee should take to arrive. The menu got a thorough inspection while we waited. And waited. Not a hostile wait. More like... a polite standoff between us and the concept of service. Eventually, victory. Orders placed. I went all in: biscuits and sausage gravy, eggs over easy, maple bacon--the kind of breakfast that doesn't whisper "good morning," it kicks the door in and demands respect. My son went classic with French toast and sausage, a choice that says, "I trust the fundamentals." Now, let's talk ambiance. Coffee in paper cups. Not a dealbreaker, but it does send a subtle message: "We're still figuring some things out." The interior felt like a Pinterest board mid-argument--close, but not quite ready for the reveal episode. Service? Nice. Professional. Also slightly resembling a live-action game of pinball. Our waitress was great, but the overall flow had a certain freestyle jazz quality--improvised, energetic, and occasionally confusing. Refills were more of a "self-reflection exercise" than an offered service, so ordering extra water was a tactical masterstroke. But then... the food arrived. And just like that, all sins were forgiven. That biscuit and sausage gravy? Absolute bullseye. The kind of dish that makes you pause mid-bite and question whether your childhood memories have been quietly outperformed. It didn't just taste homemade--it tasted like someone's mom was in the back, judging everyone and getting it right. The French toast held its own--golden, solid, no nonsense. Exactly what it needed to be. So here's the deal: the service may have been running a little behind the breakfast parade, but the food? Leading the band, confetti cannon and all. Final verdict: 4 stars. Not because it couldn't be 5--but because it's this close. Tighten up the service, ditch the paper cups, finish decorating like you mean it, and you've got a heavyweight contender. Until then, it remains a gem--slightly unpolished, but absolutely worth the stop.

Just WOW! The service was great, prompt and friendly. A good basic breakfast and lunch menu, but…read moredon't miss the pastry case! It's full of yummy choices - one of us had the gooey bun and raved about it! The eggs and grits were cooked perfectly and came out hot! The highlight is the maple bacon - both of us loved it! This is a laid back local joint with great food and a family feel to it. We will definitely be back on our next trip through Florida! BTW we were going to take pictures of the food but we couldn't wait to eat it, oops!

Weekends seem to be busy, so be prepared to wait a little. You can call ahead and get on their waiting list, they don't take reservations. Our servers were wonderful both times. First time we went I ordered the Maque Choux Benedict. The base was beautiful Golden brown Green Tomatoes instead of English muffin, delicious Crab cakes on top of that, topped off with poached eggs, scratch made maque choux, Creole Hollandaise, Andouille sausage, green onions and dusted with paprika. My sister got the Crawfish Egg-toufee. It also had the fried green tomatoes as the base, topped with Bacon, poached eggs, Creole Hollandaise, Crawfish and green onion. Both dishes were delicious. The Maque Choux Benedict was so good I devoured the entire dish. It's a really filling dish so it was perfect before the hike my sister and I went on. Second time around I ended up getting the Lobster gouda grits and my sister got Avocado toast with Lobster. The grits was delicious, just the right amount of spice and creamy. It's a must try. My sister enjoyed her dish as well. All in all we had a great experience and will definitely return on our next visit.

He ordered sausage patties and eggs over easy on the side, which he also enjoyed. I'm gluten free and there was not a pancake option for me, which was disappointing. We were originally going to another restaurant in the area and I was looking forward to their gf pancakes but they were closed. I had the all meat omelette which had a ton of meat in it and cheesy grits which were good too. My order also came with a slice of Texas toast which I handed off to my husband. I was freezing on a Monday morning so you may want to bring a sweater or jacket. Our waitress of friendly and efficient. It looked like they had a terrific coffee bar too with optional flavors and other breakfast drinks.
