The food was delicious and classic! I ordered the Special Breakfast Club and it tasted delicious. Our waitress was very pleasant and the service was excellent. I love the 80s retro feel of the restaurant! I will be back again! read more

This place is so cute, my server "Pat" was so sweet. Food came out quick and they had lots of options! Location is nice, the restaurant is cozy. She checked up on us seeing if we needed anything. It was very clean and they had a good amount of seating within the restaurant. The ambiance of the restaurant was nice they had music playing in the background. Definitely will be coming back read more

It the prefect place service is so friendly,ambiance is old school cafe, and the food meets all expectations.

It got the job done. We had just come into town for a wedding and needed lunch. The staff was so friendly and made you feel comfortable. We ordered a milkshake to share which was so good. The sandwiches were good and kids liked their fries. read more

Olive Tree Restaurant & Diner - Turkey Club - American Near Me - Kenosha, Wisconsin

This place was not listed as open for breakfast when we were passing by but the sign in the window indicated 'Open'. It turned out the place was very pleasant inside and super clean. The service was quick, polite and very pleasant. The food arrived pretty quickly and everything was delicious. The portion size was smaller than normal diner but perfect size so we were able to eat it all and feel satisfied. If you're looking for a place off the beaten place that Google is not pushing - this is a great option. read more

A lovely and very clean cafe with very pleasant staff and a nice menu. I ordered a BLT and my husband ordered a Special Club #1-both very good. read more

We were starting to get hungry and wanted something lite. Decided to give it a try. We enjoyed our BLT with cheese. Chips with one, fried on the other. Simple, light, refreshing. Everything was fresh and crisp. We will be back to try other menu items. read more

I had brought there today Saturday it was great and good too my first time there but I see lots place closed up quickly or move to new location I live the closest which is down town also I didn't know frank was down the street just found out about that. Thks you Olive Tree read more

My husband and I stopped in for breakfast. It was our first time visiting. We found the staff extremely attentive and courteous. We both ordered their breakfast special at $6.95 (what a bargain!). I immediately noticed my over easy eggs were extra large which is something I don't normally find at other restaurants. I also noticed the bread used for the french toast was larger than most restaurants. We also both had occasion to use the restrooms and found them to be clean. We will definitely stop in again when we're in the area. read more

We always avoided this restaurant because it just didn't look like high quality, but when Frank's Diner had a line (which it always does after 8:15 am) and we were hungry, we decided to give it a try. It was clean (otherwise we wouldn't have even sat down). The waitress Barb seemed straight out of Mel's Diner from the old sitcom Alice--friendly and positive and nurturing like your mother, and doing her best to make sure our coffee cups weren't even half empty. She even offered to get me more hot water for my tea. The menu is nothing fancy--standard omelets, skillets and pancakes. We both got skillets and were pleasantly surprised with the taste. The coffee could definitely be stronger, but we'll definitely be back on Saturdays before the Farmer's Market right down the street. Fast, cheap, friendly, and clean. read more

Olive tree restaurant is an 80s hold over gem. There are booths up front tables in the back and a counter top which seats 6. The coffee was disappointing. It was weak, the sugar and cream were packets. The staff was small town friendly. Lots of locals were known by name. They happen to have some ice sculpture thing going on in the downtown area. It was shocking that it was 66 in February and melting them down fast. Their biscuits and gravy were huge. 1/2 order is 2 biscuits split. A full order was three for some reason. I guess similarly to pancakes and short stack vs full stack. I also got two eggs, over cooked, I mean over easy, whoops. The bacon was thin but cooked well. The biscuits were ok, they needed more gravy, so maybe order a side Overall the food was good, not great, but still a solid option if you are in the area. read more

Close by the lake. Could be a beautiful downtown area. Just not enough financial pizazz in the area . Somewhat sad actually. Nice enough food . read more

Olive Tree Restaurant & Diner - the outside of the restaurant - American Near Me - Kenosha, Wisconsin

This was three coins when I went. The food was just ok and the people in the area were like homeless or challenged. I can't see going back when Marina garden is way better overall. Some how this coroner just keeps going. read more

Stopped in for lunch with my mom - we were a little skeptical going in - it was very dark inside (many lights not on) and very outdated. It was very empty, too, for lunch time there were two other tables filled. That said, the food was decent. We both ordered sandwiches - decent for the super cheap prices. The fries that came with were great - super crispy and still soft in the middle. The waitress was super friendly and efficient, too. read more

Upon entering I noticed half the lights were off, it was dim, gnats hovering about, almost empty, and on a Saturday morning too. The only patrons were relics of a bygone era, with one foot in the grave, which should have been a warning to us. I know now that their taste buds must've worn out from their long years, which is the only way one can successfully eat Olive Tree food. The omelet I got was burned to a crisp, devoid of nutrients, the hashbrowns soggy, as if submerged in water for half an hour prior to serving. My girlfriend's French toast was so spongy it could have doubled as a sham wow. We couldn't do it, we couldn't stomach the "food" in front of us, and this is coming from 2 army soldiers who are used to eating MRE's. We paid and we left. Damn you, Olive Tree, damn you to the hell of bankruptcy and/or closure by the health department. read more

Save yourself a trip please and give the tip to a homless man outside. This place has Horrible service.Although my sandwich was good( forgot the cheese, green peppers and onions on my French dip)My waitress hung out in the booth in front of me (and my husband and 4 year old)talking with some guy.I didnt get my soup till 25 minutes later and waited for longer for a coffee refill.It was filled with Dayton folks that made my daughter scared.(I lived downtown..doesnt bother me and they cant help it)It has the same lady waitressing in there that used to own or run it. So they pretty much just changed the name.You woudl be better off hitting Marina Gardens down the block..... read more

Alright so I did try this place out after all, primarily to prove the other Yelpers wrong and give the Olive Tree a better chance at Kenosha-wide Yelp acknowledgment...but also partially because I broke the Yelp review rules by reviewing the Olive Tree without actually stepping in the front doors [shhh]. Somehow I couldn't figure out a way to give OT 4 stars. Probably because it's a bit edgy. There is always a homeless man outside (as mspink states) and it doesn't help that the "old people home" is just a block east of here. All of the toothless, handicapped seniors roll on in here daily. The prices are ultra reasonable and honestly nothing was wrong with my food (being that I was expecting a hair in my hashbrowns or an epidemic from an imagined horror movie called "Flies"). Yet, if I'm super tight on money I may consider returning but as Ray T. says, there are too many other places that are a step up for only a $1 more. read more

The former 3 coins resturant........as a lifelong Kenoshan, you are better off going over to Frank's(a short walk away), or Marina Gardens. Trust me on that one........ read more

This place was the worst me and my wife and friend frequent the kenosha area and always like to try new places this one was my fault for stopping just bad over all the waitress brang us out the chicken noodle soup it tasted like they dumped a whole bag of salt into the pot and when i tried to put crackers in it they where stale, are drinking glasses had film on them so we decided to cancel the rest of the order and the waitress said that was unfair since the food was already made which it was not so me and my wife had the gyros plate and my friend the spaghetti the gyros again to much salt and so greasy my wife did not eat it they where nice enough not to charge her for her plate but i would highly not recommend this place look elsewhere read more

Terrible food, place was empty. Hamburger looked like it was boiled. Waitress was wacky, just an overall bad experience. Go elsewhere!

Very unfortunate, visited The Olive Tree on Mother's Day and was very disappointed. Great location, great space, less than average food with an inexperienced staff. If anything on my plate was fresh I'd be surprised. If your in the area walk down the street a half a block and visit Frank's Diner instead. More than worth the wait. read more

Olive Tree is a great down-to-earth, family-style restaurant. Prices are reasonable. Kid friendly. Very casual dining. Immediate seating. A gyro plate is a reliable lunch choice. Different soup each day: try the simple and satisfying Chicken Rosa Marina (chicken soup with rice-shaped noodles). read more

Service is nice, food is good, not great, but good. Lot of hash browns, eggs were cooked perfectly, and you get three sausage links. They have a flat screen tv which is nice if your eating alone. Its not fine dining, but if you want a nice meal, its a good deal. As far as the 'scary people' everyone is talking about. You need to get out more. Downtown is pretty benign, actually. Yes, there are old people here and there, but they are harmless. And yes, they eat at the Olive Tree. Do the elderly bother you? If so, you would be better off spending your money evaluating your own mental health rather than eating out anyway. read more

I luv OLIVE TREE although since I am not working I don't get to go in as much. Some of you need to get off your high horse when it comes to the homeless, most of you bout a paycheck away from being in the same boat, then where you going? yeah it's me Judy read more

olive tree resturant has the best breakfast specials 2 pancakes, 2 eggs, 2 strips of bacon, and 2 sausage links ALL FOR $4.95 ALL OF THAT FOR UNDER $5! its called the breakfast club #1 read more

This place has great food. I had the veggie omelette and it was delicious. my friend had the gyro plate. This place is priced right.

My roast beef had the texture of rubber. The waitress was nice and very attentive to the needs of a party with a very small child.

I always believed family restaurants were the best places to get breakfast and lunch. I truly wasn't wrong with my theory when I went into olive tree restaurant for breakfast. The food was fantastic and the service was as well. With the economy in the stage its in, your always looking to save some money, and with this restaurant, you can receive great food with the cost saving you want. If you want to satisfy your hunger, don't overlook the Olive Tree Restaurant. read more

While the outside is following along with the downtown area (No thanks to the city administration) the food inside is very good. Steve, Pat & Bill do their best to make you feel at home. Like all businesses downtown, they have suffered because of the economy just like everyone else has but, don't let that stop you from going in for a bite to eat. Because of slowed business they are only open 7-4 which is what many restaurants in town have done, but none the less, the food is still good and you can't go wrong with the friendly atmosphere they try to create. read more

They good food I go that for lunch 6 day a week always have friendly people it very clear they do let coffee cup gat empty come around to make sure if you need warm up I would go the Olive Tree Restaurant frist before going anywhere else read more

I love going here either with friends, family or just by myself. They take special care to make an order how you like it and get to know you if you're a regular. The food is amazing I personally love their biscuits and gravy. The atmosphere is friendly and calm making it a great place to relax either before or after work. Seriously it would be a mistake not to give it a shot. read more

This is the worst restaurant I have ever been to. Ever. It looked like a cute place as my and I walked by so we decided to get lunch. I got a beef sandwich. It was awful tasted like a frozen meal from wal mart and they didn't carry any hot peppers to put on the sandwich. My wife got a sandwich and during the meal found a long hair in her food. We called over the waitress and told her. Her first words were "well it wasn't mine". She said she would tell the manager. He manager never came over but the waitress said we wouldn't be charged for the sandwich. The two things that bother me were that the manager couldn't come over and apologize and that the waitress didn't even apologize. Never once did someone say "were sorry for your bad experience". I'm a restaurant manager and I know that great service and and accommodations will make a customer look past a bad first experience with the food and try again, but these people had no interest in us coming back. I never will go back and I will tell everyone who asks about what happened. Just terrible. read more
