Lots of signs on I-5 to direct you to this place, but it wasn't great unless you REALLY love olives. It's not that I don't like olives but the experience was poor. The workers seem disinterested in helping you and with so many selections to choose from you would think someone's full-time job would be to educate people on the selections, but no one could be found. There were people even at the register looking to get checked out, but that seemed to be tough as well. The burgers and food were decent but not something you should stop to try. Burgers seemed to be frozen premade and lacked flavor. I liked the condiment bar which had a good selection of stuff. I'll keep driving next time. read more

Selling stuffed red peppers, four months past expiration date. Food poisoning potential and absolute safety hazard. The kid behind the counter seemed to care less. Saddened how this place has seemed to have gone down hill. I have been coming here for twenty years. Never again. Check your expiration dates! Sad!!! read more

The food was great for lunch and the shopping for everything "Olive" was fun! We had the burger with olives and the muffaletta sandwich.

Came in twice, no one ever said hello or welcomed us. The Muffaletta sandwich was decent but nothing to write home about. The condiment bar was really great! The counter people were young and incredibly UNfriendly, I felt like my spending $200 was an inconvenience to them. Just a bad vibe all around from staff. read more

Traveling ? Great place to Stop By and grab some goodies for the road ! Memories of Northern California. They have some of the tastiest Olives a huge selection of flavors. This is a major stop for ppl from all over the world to grab something they have never tried before for home or a to send to loved ones. You won't be disssapointed read more

We are travelling to Oregon from California and discovered this wonderful shop full of every imaginable olive, spreads, oils, etc. We cannot wait to try them when we get to our destination! read more

Quirky little truck stop on the side of the road. This is a perfect place to stop on a road trip to stretch your legs and do some Christmas shopping. They have a bunch of snacks, jarred items, and souvenirs. They also have a small sandwich counter. I ordered a muffaletta sandwich and it was very flavorful! It was kind of small for the price though. read more

Loved it. Highly recommend. Olives were amazing and staff super friendly and love you can taste before you buy. Cool drinks and ate at cafe and made my own sandwich. Love you can put your own dressings and veggies. Highly recommend and ambiance was amazing! read more

Love this place!! Came here twice within a week. Sandwiches are amazing, please don't forget to get the extra veggies and toppings off at the side bar. There's also an olive sampling bar, I highly recommend getting the blue cheese stuffed olives, I literally bought two jars. The REAL highlight is 100% the shakes. My favorites were the Blueberry Balsamic, Strawberry Balsamic, and Blood Orange Olive Oil! These were so so good. Definitely recommend the more fruity flavors over the Chocolate or Espresso balsamic shakes. One of my favorite road trip stops! read more

Great selection of amazing olive related products. They also have awesome balsamic vinegars too. It's a must do.

Interesting combo of an olive product store & restaurant. Traveling through area & a real muffaletta sandwich caught my eye. It was tasty enough. Dining area has no ambiance and serves the purpose for a quick bite. read more

Every jar and every bottle has been the best!! Olive put had reasonable prices for the quality. It can't be beat! read more

Olive trees, olives, and olive oil! We saw the Olive Pit sign off the freeway and could not resist the call of the olive!! The stop was worth it! Olives and olive oils of every kind: dry black olives, the beer flavored olives, the jalapeño cream cheese stuffed olives, spicy olives, sweet olives and olive oils in an abundance of flavors They also offer gifts, olive wood bowls and implements, and a wonderful restaurant. Perk: Easy on off the I-5 freeway. Dogs welcomed --patio seating. Service: Friendly and welcoming. read more

Burger was solid. The bacon on the burger left something to be desired. Only 3 pieces, when the menu says 4, and the were not crisp. The tater tots were ok, needed to be cooked longer. But the actual burger was great. read more

I love the Olive Pit. I especially like getting my family and friends gifts from here. The foodies in my family enjoy the olives, oils, jams, and other tasty surprises you'll find here. You can sample alot of their products when you walk in. I've had hamburgers here too, very good. Happy Christmas shopping! read more

Looking forward to a Angus Beef burger. Burger had grill taste but no beef taste and TOO much salt. Patty looked like it included filler (grain, or...?) read more

The best olives! So many to choose from. You also get to taste test olives & dipping oils. I also love their milkshakes. My personal favorite milkshake is banana & almond butter. read more

I have a love for olives this was a fantastic place to go! The workers were very helpful as well. I will be back again.

Not good value for money. The avocado in the BLT with Avocado was a weird sour puree, and not fresh slices of avocado. The goods in the shop are overpriced. It's basically a cafeteria with no ambiance. Staff are friendly. Sad little place and will not be back. read more

Review for Stuffed Olives and Customer service. I received a 10 Oz jar of Garlic Stuffed Olives, Best by May 14, 2027. The Olives were to salty to eat. I contacted customer service and told them the food product was Inedible. The said pour off the brine and replace it with water, I did. Indeed the saline content went down but the result was poorest quality food. read more

Shake was good. Burger was horrible. So dry and no taste at all! First time here 2/1/25.

What a place for the olive lover! Stopped to look and spent 250.00! They have so much to choose from that its almost overwhelming!

The Olive Pit here in Corning just south of Red Bluff on the 5 freeway, really reminds me of Granzella's further south on the 5. They both sell a lot of types of olives and snacks and sell I think sandwiches. Granzella's has a bigger restaurant though. I was on my way back home from San Diego, and having made already a couple of stops along the 5 headed north, I was hoping to make it home without one more stop. The Olive Pit was calling, actually the restroom was! I did stop and buy some olives and a coffee just to make it back home, but I was glad thye were here and open. read more

Yes, I would recommend for you to pay a visit and check it out. for the experience They might have some stuff that you might like, but their stuff is overpriced. Their balsamic infused vinegars are overpriced. I visited all the way from Norco, California. I do appreciate all the samples, but their prices are crazy. read more

I've been an olive lover since childhood and bought several jars. Some were passable but a couple were so bad we threw them out. My daughter agreed these were not good. Sadly because I had high hopes when I saw the variety of olives. The ones we did not care for were the lemon olives and the ones with cheese. We pass by here on our trip South once a year, no plans to retry or return here. read more

Wonderful place to stop and get some holiday shopping done! Tons of variety on candy, jams, nuts, and olives! Gift baskets or create your own. The sample bar is pretty cool too! The staff is super friendly and helpful. Check them out! read more

First time here with store and cafe side by side , I got a great welcome by staff at the cafe and I chose the Bistro Turkey sandwich . This sandwich tasted delicious with a nice olive pesto sauce . All in all delighted I tried this restaurant, they also offer a wonderful selection of shakes . read more

The Olive Pit is a smart stop when driving down Interstate 5 for the holidays. This place is great for picking up holiday gifts and stocking stuffers. They have lots of little jars and things to buy. Also, this place has a great olive tasting bar. We went to one in Spain that was ever so slightly better, but - hey - that was Spain and this is in the middle of nowhere in California. It was some great tasting! PRO-TIP: They always have a deal on at least one balsamic vinegar. Get the one on sale. We stock up! read more

foods cafeteria like, Service seems fast food like. Probably should add a drink and fries or tots if your charging top dollar.

The people were rude and passive aggressive. The meat doesn't taste real, it tastes like an impossible burger. It is wayyyy too expensive for what it is, almost $9 for a 16oz milkshake. The burgers are $12 for literally a bun and patty and you have to put on the sauces and other ingredients on yourself. The store part of the restaurant is badly lit and awkwardly set up (small isles, bad placing of shelves, inaccessible, etc.) Would not go again. read more

Great place to stop!! All different types of olives and a great deli to boot!! This is a must stop if you like olives!!

Yummy Muffuletta! Olive tapenade was one of the best I've ever had. Olive forward and not really salty. Yum! I was there on a quiet day in Mid-November, and the service was on point. It is the only olive oil spot left in Corning, which is sad in general, but great for the Olive Pit. It is cute and kitschy, with a little tourist & a little local and a lot of love. If you are an olive person, or just like a great muffuletta, it is well worth the stop. read more

HUGE selection of all types of olives & oils. In addition to nuts, honey, jams, spreads, snacks, gifts, etc. Tasting bar closed because of pandemic- so we don't know how the olives are yet. We did stop by the cafe (to go only-outside seating available) Had a wonderful Muffuletta sandwich! Big and everything was very fresh! Delicious sandwich! read more

I stopped here for a quick break during the long, monotonous drive down i-5. If you need a bathroom break or a snack, I'd recommend this place. There is a counter service burger joint that looked pretty good and seemed to be quickly turning over orders to either eat in or take out. I only got a cherry milk shake, which was very tasty. They also have some interesting specialty shakes if you're feeling up for it. Definitely take a walk through the mini market where you'll find a huge variety of olives and olive oils among other specialty sauces, ingredients and novelties. read more

exceeded my expectations! it was a great place to stop while on the road. it has everything you need. delicious food, drinks, snacks, and extremely clean restrooms. customer service was amazing. everyone was welcoming, informed, and willing to answer any questions customers had. my grandma was also able to communicate with employees so we are very grateful for bilingual employees. i will be returning when i am in town. i ended up going to the cafe on impulse but i am so glad i did. the food was delicious and everything i needed. i was not sure i would find vegetarian/vegan options since the menu was one double-sided page but i sure did! the Malibu Garden Burger ($9.99) was VEGAN. organic brown rice, sweet corn, green and red peppers, carrots onions, and rolled oats made the perfect patty. it was approved by the entire family even the non-vegetarians. Black Raspberry shake was very delicious. it was rich, creamy, and as thick as i enjoy. it was also a hit according to the whole family. the raspberry notes came through just right and you can tell it was made with soft served ice cream. everything was fresh and made to order. the cashier paige was also very sweet and helpful!! also a plus was that their packaging is biodegradable ! read more

Loved the tasting bar. My favorite was jalapeño garlic cloves! Ye, I am going home with a jar;) espresso was delicious I shared the burger with my daughter, not the best pic, but we couldn't wait to eat it up! It did not disappoint & ciabatta bread was super soft. Love the condiment bar for fixings. Fun place to visit after mandarin harvesting :)) read more

My son had the burger, it was a great diner style patty on a brioche bun. My wife had the strawberry balsamic shake, it was really good. I started with a basic Oreo shake that was what I was expecting, then I had a pineapple balsamic shake, kinda felt it tasted like a pineapple yogurt. Everyone was super friendly and helpful. Kayla was awesome! read more

First time at the olive pit and great experience. Wonderful cafe area. I had the works burger and it was amazing. Went over to try some dipping oils and Alyssa helped me decide which ones were the right fit for the family. Went with the habanero because the kids love spices, and I got black truffle for the wife and I. Overall very wholesome experience great staff will definitely be back read more

Combination of a specialty store and informal dining, and patronizing either is a good way to support a small business in a roadside town. The dining area consists of a counter to place your order, a build-your-own-burger bar, and a few tables to sit at. I have so many food allergies it isn't funny, and I asked the counter person if I could order a "protein-style" burger, just the patty and lettuce, no bun, and that's what I got, just the patty on lettuce, and then I could add tomatoes, onions, olives, whatever else I wanted at the build-your-own burger bar. Not exactly an extensive menu or much atmosphere, but one of the best places to eat for literally miles around. read more

Beautiful variety of locally bottled olives olive oil artichokes ect. The shakes are delicious and the burger was good just wish there were a few more options for my burger toppings but it is still not a bad burger I really do wish they had potato salad or more side options....I'm not familiar with the area we were passing through driving home from Dunsmuir.. enjoy!! read more
