Food is subpar at best definitely not 5 star quality. Pita was stale, so were the fries. Chicken was dry. Plate presentation was messy, everything was just and thrown together. Will not be going back, much rather eat at Rafina Greek Taverna or even Olive U. read more

I passed this cute little restaurant while driving by and decided to give it a try for dinner. It is a cute and very clean little restaurant situated in a strip mall. It has a small interior seating area as well as an outdoor seating area with heat lamps. The menu had lots of options even for people who are vegetarian and/or gluten free. My friend and I started with a fava dip that came with little pita triangles to dip with and it was very good. My friend had the pita wrap with salmon and I had the Greek salad. I thought the food was good and the feta in my salad was delicious. The only issue we had was slow service and my friend requested no French fries in her pita wrap and they forgot to take them out. They also initially gave us the wrong check. Overall, this would never deter me from coming back here as I feel this place has great potential and it was a very solid meal. I did notice that they are under new management so maybe they have some kinks to work out. I think it would also be a great lunch place. The space was very clean, even the bathroom, and it was easy to have a conversation. read more

What a great experience. I'm Greek. Very Greek. It was so refreshing to patronize a Greek restaurant that takes pride in their food and service. My husband (American) and my MIL and I had a thoroughly lovely dinner. We started with the Greek village salad and fried feta cheese appetizers. All were delicious. I had the grilled prawns and they each had the lamb chops. We were all very pleased with our selections. We topped it off with some amazing baklava and galaktobouriko. And I'd like to add the Soula was an awesome server. We will be back very soon. (Like in two days). read more

First experience. Went for lunch with friend who had been there twice before. When we arrive at noon there were 2 other diners, by the time we left it was crowded. Very pleasant setting. Server was very professional but was challenged as the place filled up. My chicken pita was absolutely delicious and fairly priced. Removing a star because initial bill included a salad that we did not order or receive. Second bill included a charge of $1 each for a tiny cup of remoulade sauce. Never advised upfront that there was an extra charge. Don't like to be fooled. That being said I will return. read more

Disappointed tonight by the food and portions and prices. No lemon soup, mousaka was a special tonight but not on the menu. Chicken skewers were with the cheapest chicken - dark meat from the thighs! Green salad was a pile of shredded lettuce Disappointing read more

I recently heard a few friends mention this restaurant and being Greek, I was excited to try a new place! Unfortunately it was HORRIBLE. The service was slow but I understood there were only two waitresses and too many tables with customers. Once we were able to start ordering - The first 5 things we asked for they were out of so we decided to just try a few appetizers. First one to come out were 3 different dips - the hummus looked orange with grilled onions on top and it was as hard as cement, the other two were just tasteless. Next came cheese pie which was just a small pastry with a little bit of cheese inside, it didn't taste bad but definitely not the traditional. And finally came stuffed grape leaves, I took a little bite and couldn't even figure out what all the green goo was all over it. Never again! read more

Having been here last year, I was excited to return and have the pita sandwich with french fries in it. I decided to have the salmon dinner, instead, but my husband ordered a pita sandwich with the tzadiki sauce on the side. At 7:00 my salmon arrived and I slowly started to eat it, not wanting it to get cold. It was delicious. At 7:10 the pita sandwich still hadn't arrived, so we called over the waiter, Alex. He checked on the status, returned to our table and apologized for the kitchen back up. When the pita sandwich finally arrived at 7:15, there were no french fries within, (even though it was listed on the menu) and the sauce was not on the side. We sent it away, paid for my meal, and left. Such a disappointment. We will not be returning. read more

Emmanuel V: Thank you for reading and responding to my update. I sincerely appreciate when a local owner or manager takes the time to respond. I also appreciate you addressing the issues I raised and hope your actions prove fruitful. I will say, I currently have no intention of returning any time soon. While I appreciate your efforts, the frequency of bad reviews and the consistency of those reviews lead me to believe that the experience my mother and I had at Oliv Pit was probably fairly normal and not a one-off bad day. I'll keep an eye on reviews for the Oliv Pit. Perhaps when they are consistently positive, without similar complaints, we'll try again. Thanks. read more

Currently on vacation and my gf's mom decided to celebrate her birthday here at the Oliv Pit! This restaurant is beautiful with both a rustic and modern feel, and they accommodated our reservation of 14 well. Apparently it's under new management and the head of the restaurant, David, took good care of us. We ordered a lot of appetizers and the crowd favorites were the dips, especially the paprika sauce. Their greek salad is gorgeous and flavorful with a nice hefty block of feta in the middle. I was sad that they didnt have flaming saginaki but I did enjoy the sweet fried feta. The zuchini fritters were a bit salty and combined with the spinach pie, didn't have the allure of some of the other more colorful dishes. For the entree, I enjoyed the meat platter for four with tender pieces of steak and chicken accompanied by a boatload of gyro meat. Everything here was tasty and seasoned well. My gf got the pita with roasted vegetables and told me that it was drenched in way too much sauce, making it difficult to enjoy. The side salad with balsamic also just looked really drab, offering no color other than a black glaze over pale romaine lettuce. I'm a meat lover though and they did that well. Overall the oliv pit is a fun restaurant with a great atmosphere. I can tell they are getting over some kinks but the food is good and service is top notch. Thank you for a fun evening! read more

Good place with good fresh made food the meat is grilled with coals made from olive pits gives it a nice taste Been there twice and the food was great Now that Jimmy The Greek sucks this is closer and better The only thing I didn't like the last time I was there a man with a dog came in and sat next to us and it wasn't a service dog the dog was in a carrier and they let him in I don't care how much people like their dogs they don't belong out in a restaurant I have cats and I don't bring them into a restaurant it's just not cool and places need to tell these people they can sit outside with the pet but not inside read more

Tried this place over the weekend for lunch and we were very impressed! From the refreshing decor, super service, and amazing food we throughly enjoyed our experience. The place is not big but very nicely decorated and cozy. We sat inside but they also have outside seating which will be nice when its not hot out. The service was great, attentive but not over bearing. You can tell they take pride in their food and really enjoy sharing what they have to offer. The food was great!!! We had the trios dips which was very fresh and authentic...it felt as if we had been transported to Greece. The pita was warm and displayed nicely on a plate with a bit of olive oil. We also had the olives which was a plentiful serving. We typically only get appetizer and enjoyed everything we had. One of our favorites at a restaurant its grilled octopus, so of course we ordered it to see how it compared. The waiter was excited to share this would be the best we've ever had, of which we politely smiled. Well, let me tell you, if you try this place and don't order the grilled octopus, your missing out on an amazing dish. I won't say anymore just order it. Lastly, we decided to get one more item...which put us over the stuffed limit but it was worth it. The fried calamari was unlike any other place, so lightly breaded and not greasy one bit. Dusted with some seasoning and great dipping sauce. We'll be going back to this lil' gem. Thank you. read more

BEWARE: PRICES NOT AS ADVERTISED Called in an order for take out, 2 appetizers and the "Pikilea Kreaton Mix Grill Platter for 2." Per website, the platter is priced at $28 (see screenshot of website). Upon arrival they upcharge the platter by 36%, that is $38. We figure no big deal, obviously a math error, and proceed to inform them that since we called it in, we ordered based off their online menu offerings and prices. Their exact, response was "oh yea the website prices are wrong," you have to pay an extra 36%. Hmmmm, so many things I can say here about I dunno, honesty, integrity, the right way to do business, etc. Alas, it was Sat night, we weren't going to spend our night schooling a new restaurant on the block on what not do if you want to be successful and have repeat customers, so we paid the inflated price (see our receipt). Will not be back. Food was nothing memorable. read more

We reserved a table and have been here for 45 minutes already and still no food! Drinks arrived after 30 minutes. The music is incredibly loud to the point of being seriously painful. I lived in Greece for nearly 20 years and have never ever experienced anything like this. I am very disappointed, and the food was nothing special. read more

I really love this tiny cozy place. The owner is so kind and welcoming. On this beautiful Tuesday afternoon, stopped by and grabbed a cup of hot latte; sitting by the window and watching beautiful sunshine, my mind is relaxing after a long day work. My friend invited me for lunch here the other day. We loved the food and the atmosphere here. That's why I feel like coming back every time I am nearby. read more

Great food and excellent service! The staff is friendly, attentive and truly works hard to make customers happy. They also serve lunch now. Definitely recommended. read more

This place was yummy! Fried feta just like in Greece, nice firm stuffed grape leaves, awesome falafel. Everything really good. Only negative comment, and really not their fault...we sat outside at dusk and were eaten alive by mosquitoes. We will definitely be back, but we will sit inside! read more

True Greek grill, with great open flame flavors. Try the roasted lamb and meatballs. Even basics like gyros and the lamb burger cannot be missed. The only thing that can surpass the food is the service. Always with a smile, engaging and family-oriented. Over the top excellent! read more

I have lived in Athens. This is the ONLY restaurant in BOCA which completely resembles the delicious food found in Greece and doesnt disappoint like so many Americanized others. Their recipes, presentation, and *most importantly* , quality of ingredients from the EVOO to the fresh tastiness of the produce in the salads is unbeatable. This is REAL Athenian food. It is positively *OUTSTANDING*. read more

Mrs Anna what a cutie! amazing food and awesome people. Authentic greek cuisine !!!It was amazing time!

You guys are amazing! I order from you regularly through DoorDash and the food is delicious with good quality and really nice portion sizes! Today was my birthday and I ordered the ferrero chocolate cake and it was amazing! Thank you again :) read more

Very good Greek food. Patio seating is very cozy. Service is excellent. They adjust the menu for food alergy.

My family and I, loved the Olive Pit. The food was amazing!! Everything was very fresh and it's a family owned business. We are definitely going to become regulars. read more

Every time I come here it is so delicious ! The service is great, ambiance is so cute, and the food is delicious! I love the salmon (I get it every time) with their signature green salad: it is mouth watering! Definitely go if you haven't read more

The decor is probably my favorite part about the restaurant, very clean and well decorated. The Service was alright but with the language barrier it was difficult to understand what the specials were. Having a separate menu would probably be better to display the additional or grouped items that aren't on the regular menu. The hummus was delicious but we found it to be odd that they didn't give you a complimentary hummus or tzatziki to start... most sit down Greek restaurants do but that's fine. My boyfriend and I ordered the Chicken Souvlaki Pita and the Horiatiki Salad. The Chicken Pita had 1 skewer in the wrap which consisted of 3 tiny small pieces of chicken. **The Chicken was super fatty and oily.** The menu states that the gyro is "stuffed" with fries, which to me -- stuffed would be a surplus of fries popping out of the Pita, but instead there were 5 total french fries, making it not so "stuffed." I asked for extra tzatziki sauce for my gyro and they charged me $1.00. "They should let the customer know of the up charge." The Hotiatiki Salad was delicious and super fresh! It's not served with lettuce so be sure to ask for some if your like me and like lettuce served with your salad. Our overall experience was not what we were hoping for.... we might be back but were not thrilled with numerous things & didn't get the "warm / good" environment that we would have wished for. read more

Amazing! There must be new owners because this was absolutely nothing like the first time we went. The food was so good, so fresh. I will definitely go back and probably get takeout too. Seems like a nice Greek family has taken over the business, super friendly. I love Greek food it's nice to finally have someplace to get it because a lot of local Greek restaurants don't seem to care like Oliv Pit! Wish them success! read more

After waiting months in anticipation the Oliv Pit finally opened and I was so excited to try it. The owners are so sweet and very involved in the business. And the food that I've tried so far is amazing. The fries are great and a big portion for $5. They come seasoned. The skewers are to die for. I've had chicken, beef, and pork. You can smell the charcoal. And all 3 of them were very juicy and tender. Not dry at all. They also sell bottles of olive oil which I gave in and got because who doesn't love olive oil lol. Also delicious. There are a few other things on the menu that I would like to try, I'm fortunate enough to work in the plaza so I eat here quite often lol. The girls at my shop swear by the gyros and salads. Definitely a place you must try! read more

I just moved back to Boca and found this gem! Ordered fava hummus, first time having it and I'm a fan. My boyfriend and I shared the 2 person meat platter which was flavorful but light at the same time. We even have left overs. Greek flat water was amazing (yes you an taste a difference) Our server was excellent even for his first day on the job. We will definitely be going back. The best part of all it's in walking distance. I'm so happy to have found a new spot! Looking forward to my next meal. Decor is adorable! read more

From the moment we sat down on the outside patio our waiter took our order, brought our drinks and then did not receive our appetizer or dinner for almost 2 hours. We had to ask the waiter 3 times before we even got a glass of water. After about an hour we went inside to see what was going on that we did not receive our appetizer or even a piece of bread. We were told it was coming shortly. Almost 2 hours and still not any service went back in and said we would be leaving and was told our meal was coming out now in which it finally did. We never did receive the appetizer. For our inconvenience 20% was taken off the bill. From the attitude of the employee and the lack of service we will not be going back at all. read more

I am updating my review because I reviewed the restaurant before the current owners. I have been back many times and ordered take out during Covid since my last review. It is family owned and they have done a wonderful job revamping the menu. The food is excellent and the owner husband and wife team are wonderful caring people. Love the Oliv pit both in person dining and Uber eats. One of my go to restaurants for the last 1 1/2 years! read more

Very good food and service I'm not really into Mediterranean food but would definitely recommend.

Friendly staff and welcoming environment. Decor is fun and rustic, food was delicious!! Will definitely be returning and bringing friends! read more

Wow! Amazing Greek food! I started with the Crispy Fried Feta (amazing) who would of thought of friend feta and the fried calamari (unreal!!). Then I had a gyro with pita and a side of the fries with feta. I was definitely full after that. All the food had such great flavors and tasted so fresh. I loved how is wasn't the typical Greek menu they have a great variety and their own twist on it. The atmosphere is very nice as well. Service was great. All in all a great night out! I will be back soon read more

If you have a craving for top flight Greek food in a casual setting, run, don't walk to the Olive Pit restaurant on SW 18th St in Boca Raton Fl. Homey atmosphere, friendly wait staff eager to please, excellent well prepared lamb dishes, salads, fish and OMG French fries. Top this off with the camaraderie of owners Emanuel and Yuri and you can't but have a wonderful and relaxing evening either in their newly renovated restaurant either indoors or outside under the canopy. A delight. This was the first time there and we shall return often. And oh yeah... Baklava to die for read more

I always go there for lunch after my exercise. Good food and very good coffee. Fair price and good service. Highly recommended

We had eaten at the Oliv Pit several times in the past and were pleased with the food and the service. This past week we went with a large party which included several children. We asked the waitress to check with the kitchen about the use of nuts in the preparation of one of the dishes ordered. She never returned. When I went to ask the chef / owner about the use of nuts. His response was an angry why are you asking me about this. Was I to assume that he did not use nuts in the preparation of his food. By the time I got this response the food was cold and the Calamari was of such poor quality it could not be eaten. We then waited over an hour to be served. They never came by to apologize for the delay. When the food did arrive, some in the party found it to be just OK. My chicken dish was inedible unless you like your chicken dry and tough. I fully understand the problems restaurants are facing these days. I cannot accept the angry attitude, and lack of concern for their patrons. I am writing this to make you aware of our experience. I checked other Yelp reviews after our experience and would agree with many that this pit should be avoided. read more

Our group of 6 visited Oliv Pit several times with the previous owners and it was always a pleasant experience. We went twice with the new owners, husband and wife, the Manager is their son; the first time the lady owner was very gracious with our group. This last time on July 19 just my husband and I went, expecting to have a good time. We ordered the octopus as an appetizer and drinks, that came after 20 minutes, the food took a bit longer, the branzino and skirt steak did not disappoint us and was as good as we remembered. The big surprise was the bill, EVERY SINGLE item from appetizer to drinks to the main course HAD AN ADDITIONAL $2.00 to $5.00, I asked to see the menu again and we compared the prices on the menu to our bill, the added charge was $14. We called the waitress and asked the reason of the discrepancy and no explanation or excuse was given to us. She acted like she was used to it. The bill was adjusted properly after a while, I made a point to mention that the orders were taken by the owner's son and he took care of us until we asked for the bill and a waitress came to us. No apologies were given to us at any point by the waitress or the Manager. Regardless of the food being good we would not go back to Oliv Pit and we are letting our friends know of the disappointing experience we had there. We don't know if the owners are aware of this but if not they should keep and eye on the charging of their customers instead of being behind the counter cooking. read more

Oliv Pit - Greek Near Me - Boca Raton, Florida

This is the best Greek/Mediterranean restaurant I've been to in South Florida. We had the trio dip --tzatziki fava paprika, octapus and fried feta and it was out of this world!!! Greek salad( village) was wonderful and then for the main course we had the grilled prawns and lamb chops and both were amazing! The sides (lemon potatoes and steamed green beans) were great too! For dessert we had the baklava and portokalopita (Orange cake) and both were fantastic. Our server, Soula, was wonderful, attentive and very helpful with suggestions. The atmosphere is great, unpretentious and very welcoming (feels like I'm visiting A taverna in Greece). I highly recommend it! read more
