We've visited Oliver's twice now and I've sampled quite a few things in those two occasions. The location has bocce ball and a nice patio outside. Inside, big, open, acoustics are good to hear a party of 8 from all over the table. FOOD TIME! -Apps- --Avocado toast is good, really good. I have seen this dish pop up more and more across the metro and are not one to order it if I'm paying for it, but, I didn't pay each time, so I ate it... and it was good. --Nachos are a hearty dish that can fill you up on it's own, with awesome chips. The chips, which don't get overly soggy too fast, and are rigid enough to be the vessel in getting all that nacho'y goodness into your food trap, are a welcome surprise. I'd love to have some guac included, but, beggars can't be choosers. Unless you go for the 'Potle route and pay extra for guac. --Corn dip is good. People at my table liked it a hell of a lot more than I did. I can't tell you what's in it, but, it is worth trying, and again, the chips do this dish a huge favor in not sucking. --Loaded tots. This is a dish that could be better. It's good, but, it's missing something. The bacon gives it a savory smash, but I think the cheese mix to it is off. Maybe a sour cream or cream cheese flavor and texture are needed to balance things and take this dish to where it should be, after all - it's Tots. Main dishes... I only took pics on one occasion, was wrestling with the kids the other so no pics. -Walleye tacos - very good. Very very good. I liked this dish a lot. But, I love tacos and I love walleye, so unless you screw the pooch to the moon, you can't screw this up. They didn't. The slaw and pickled veg give it a major vinegar component, so be warned if that vinegar flavor isn't your "thang." -Gouda Burger - It should be known, I pretty much live for my kids, dogs, and burgers at this point. This is a decent burger. It could be better with some tweaks. Ditch the arugula. Does absolutely nothing. I did like the panchetta onion jam, which was a bit of a shocker. The aioli lacks and you'll tell when bite into it. You'll think, that burger wing nut online was right, they should go for something else here. Throw the spicy aioli from the sweet tater fries on here and thank me later. Carolina BBQ Burger - see my pic - this is a burger that gets the job done. Flavor profiled right from sweet to salt to savory and smoky. It's juicy, it's cooked right, and the bun holds up to your grip to destroy it. The first time I tried this, the BBQ was VERY light and required me to order it on my subsequent visit, where they then got an appropriate amount on the burger. If it's lacking, get a side of it, it's worth it. Northland Burger - couldn't get a pic, was wrestling with kids on my visit to get this one. But it is a solid burger. Remember with the gouda burger I said it was missing something? Go ahead and look up to see that I actually said that... see it? This burger found it. Blueberry jam is a perfect Robin to the burger Batman. One complaint, they over cooked it. I asked for pink, because what kind of human wouldn't want pink - ayyyyy oohhhhhh - and I got a medium-well. I was unhappy but hungry and ate the damn thing dreaming it was pink. Everyday Grilled chicken - I ate half of this on the visit when I ate my entire Northland burger. I enjoyed it a lot. I know it's a chicken sandwich, which is why I didn't order it (I eat chicken every-single-god-damn-day), but this was good. The bacon, provolone, and chipotle aioli make this work for a spicy/salty/savory kind of dish. Sides - fries are skinny cut and a house ketchup is nothing special, they don't have your normal tomato ketchup, so get ranch, which is WAY better than their house crap. Sweet tater fries and chipotle aioli are where it's at though. Good thickness to the fries and the aioli is very well done. Pizzas are good, can't screw those up - they don't. Good crust, good cheese and the toppings are all solid. Desserts. I got the strawberry shortcake thing, which was awesome. Very very light and refreshing on a hot day. Also, not a shortcake like you'd expect. More like a light cream / strawberry whipped topping. Kind of a misleading name. Very good. My other half got the smores pie. Dark, rich chocolate dominates the dish. No cream flavor at all to cut it, despite what you see in the picture - it's flavorless. Most importantly, no graham flavor at all. The crust is pointless and add nothing. Total miss. Service, meh. Both times left a lot to be desired. Dishes stacked up without being cleared, water frequently empty for long periods, and getting the check took forever. All in all, 4/5. Easily could be a 5 if the finer points get addressed. read more

This place is a "no brainer" for us.! They've got great food, a low key fun atmosphere and super friendly service, not to mention the patio vibes.! It's a win for my family... read more

The service was great, the inside reminded me of a modern diner vibe. Dog friendly out on the patio. There is a cafe section in the front of the restaurant where you can order coffee and pastries with seating and tables available. Though it turns into a waiting area later in the evening, so it's more available in the mornings. Pork belly tacos and Korean Fried Chicken Sandwich were tasty. Rosemary fries were okay, they're the thinner fries, but the ketchup was good! The sweet potato fries were okay as well, nothing special. We did like the Dill Blood Mary, you could also choose horseradish instead of dill. It came with a mini skewer of cubed cheese, cold brisket piece, pickle, and olives. Oh and of course the Minnesota way of a beer snit. Lattes were average, rather strong. Nitro cold brew was good! They also have a kombucha on tap. Would come back for more food and drinks! read more

We were in town for a hockey tournament and heard good things about Oliver's. So glad we went!! The waiter was super friendly and made great suggestions. We had the French dip burger and it was very tasty. Bartender makes great cosmos so it was a lively dinner! read more

Food and service are both great. The only thing I'm not a fan of is the homemade ketchup but everything else is wonderful.

Most of the time we have good service and good food. But there have been many times when the service is so slow and food was cold - so we would leave. It's a 50/50 chance you'll have a decent experience... read more

Very lovely family atmosphere. Everyone friendly...food very good. Like a lovely coffee shop/diner...classy decor.

Really nice menu for breakfast and lunch and dinner! Amazing items to choose from. The avocado toast is a favorite. Lovely ambiance and fun outdoor patio with bocce ball. read more

Very nice venue and the food was amazing! Our waiter was on point. Going tomorrow for lunch!

Great food, and wonderful service. Just not crazy with the atmosphere and table set-up.

My brothers and I stopped for lunch a couple of weeks ago. They both got the All Day Pot Roast and really liked it, but thought it needed a bit more salt. They said the gravy was really good. There was no salt or pepper on the table, so they had to ask for it. I got the crispy chicken sandwich with fries. The fries was thin and delicious, the chicken sandwich while tasty, it was overly salty, since this is a new restaurant, I assume they will approve in time. The staff were welcoming, friendly and attentive. read more

I only write these to help the business, I could careless about the consumer. I want to see this place do well. But for godsake ditch the housemade stuff. The housemade ketchup, BBQ and cheese are all really bad. I got the oliver burger, name is in the food title it has to be a sure thing. I have never had a burger that was truly bad this was bordering on that. The bun was a grease sponge. Are you grilling this next to the burger grease? Like just don't. The housemade ketchup tasted like tomato soup. No thanks. I asked for normal ketchup they didn't have any. I asked for BBQ to salvage the meal, same thing, a watered down bitter type of housemade sauce. The burger was mediocre, I asked for no pickles or onions, so lettuce and cheese. They forgot the lettuce. The cheese was a bit over the top in the amount and was another housemade item, not as bad as the others but still not good. The fries are a skinny rosemary seasoned type. Not terrible not great. The service was solid, but it was a slow mid afternoon stop so it better be. Overall, I am not ready to write this place off. I would go back. I would avoid most housemade stuff. They seem like a place that just tries too hard to a fault. Give it a shot, not my favorite at first try, but not something I would avoid yet. read more

Oliver's is fantastic! Angela went out of her way to sit our group. She was efficient, personable and very knowledgeable with the menu. We would absolutely go to there again if in the area. The mushroom garlic pizza was amazing and was a recommendation from Angela. My son had the Oliver Burger which he said was the best he's had in a while. Thank you Angela for the great service!! Thank you chef for great food! read more

I have gotten take out a few times here, because it's close by and they have some gluten free options. The food was great. No complaints.

Congratulations to Hamdi on being voted 'Best Bartender'' Well deserved! Now that's it's winter- he makes an awesome hot toddy.. so smooth.

Service and ambiance was great. Food was pretty average. The pizza is the only thing we liked when we were there on 3 different occasions.

Someone on a Facebook foodie group mentioned that this place has great pot roast, which I'd been craving. My wife and I went out soon afterward. I haven't tried anything else on their menu, but good god that pot roast is the stuff dreams are made of. When we stopped in, the place was mostly empty, but because of Covid-related staffing shortages, they were prioritizing reservations. We had to wait about 20 minutes. Not horrible. I've been here a few times, and the first time the jus was fairly thick on the pot roast, like a proper gravy. The next few times, it was more of a jus, which is not my preference with pot roast, but was delicious nonetheless. Seems kinda up-scale suburban. Interesting stuff on the menu which is a bit pricey. But these guys are my new go-to for pot roast. Hey, you can have your filet mignon and your lobster thermidor, I'm always up for a decent pot roast. read more

Honestly best family brunch ever!!! My family and I came here for brunch and they accommodated our beliefs by changing all gloves and not using any materials exposed to alcohol or pork and they still brought out our our food exceptionally fast. Everything was amazing, they especially loved the banana cream pancakes!! read more

Stellar job to meet unique needs of our group with great service and warm hospitality! We visited at lunchtime without a reservation, and they graciously accommodated our need for a table that would have space for a power wheelchair. We ordered the Shakshuka, Oliver's Sunrise, and the Tuna Poke bowl, all delicious! Grateful for the restaurant layout that gave easy access, and the cheerful staff with a warm atmosphere! We'll be back! read more

Best sausage gravy and biscuits I've had in a very long time. Service was very good as well. They used hot seasoned sausage. Yum!!!! read more

Went here for our anniversary and we were not disappointed! Very reasonable prices for modern/casual elegant dining. Ordered an app (papusa), alcohol (x2 rounds), entrées (waygu sirloin with potatoes & chicken club with squash bisque) and also bought pastries for breakfast and a pizza for lunch for the next day. Everything was amazing! I'll be dreaming of that bisque for weeks to come until we make it back. All of that food came to under $125. Fyi- they also as I open at 7am for coffee and pastries, and 8am for breakfast. I definitely plan on trying them for a coffee date some morning! Thanks for the warm, attentive and friendly service, Oliver's! See you soon! read more

Went here during lunch with some coworkers. The waiter was super nice, very informative as well because it was all of our first time there. Our appetizers arrived super fast & was delicious! I had the Gouda Burger cooked to medium rare, and it was delicious as well. Did not disappoint. The atmosphere is modern, clean and well light during lunch as most/all the walls are glass. I wished I took pictures of our lunch as the portion is big & well priced. Definitely will come here again and try their other locations out. read more

Went to this restaurant since I had heard good things. We walked in about11:00 on a Sunday morning and were asked if we had a reservation but unfortunately we did not. The lady said the only spots open would be the dining counter or bar. We opted to eat at dining counter. We waited awhile before anyone came but the waitress finally arrived and took order. We waited at least 35 minutes for our food and there were just two of us with basic orders. The waitress-returne d at about 20 mn and said our food should be up in a minute. wE waited about 10 more and then I stopped her and said hey do you know when our food will be ready? She then went to side pick up area and got order. The food was really good! The service and wait time not so much. The staff seemed to just be all standing there waiting for their orders so must have had a cook backup idk. I also saw sitting on the counter right in front of us a large bowl of cooked bacon. It was sitting and not heated or refrigerated for over an hour. I feel like that is a health concern with the Dept of health. The seats at the dinner counter were horribly uncomfortable and the entire time we were there I saw at least five open tables that no one ever sat at. That was annoying since it would have been great to sit at an actual table from the start. The wait was very long but I would give them 1 more try considering food was yummy! Next time will get a reservation before I go. read more

I read the menu beforehand as six of us were meeting here. Taking the highway (694) be ready to hit the two traffic circles to exit onto Oliver's street. Ordered Oliver's salad which was excellent with the intent of getting either SALTED CARAMEL CHOCOLATE DACQUOISE chocolate almond meringue, ganache, salted caramel mousse or ZEPPOLE ricotta doughnut, cinnamon sugar, caramel, orange cream I couldn't have said it better myself. We shared both desserts but I will be back for the dacquoise alone. Best dessert I've ever eaten and that is saying a lot. The desserts are made in house by a loving dessert angel who loves to make people HAPPY!! Some got salmon, one had a brisket empanada, others the shrimp and grits but all totally enjoyed their meals. We got there at 5 for the evening menu and service was great. So glad for this restaurant! read more

Good food and good service. I like the fact that the breakfast menu is available after lunch.

Best old fashioned in twin cities They use buffalo trace bourbon for mixed cocktails Very good food and service Waitresses always friendly and prompt Very relaxing atmosphere Plenty of free parking ' Located under luxury high rise My favorite is their walleye sandwich and tacos. Appetizers are all awesome Prices are very reasonable. Open for breakfast too Definitely an 8 out of a 10 for everything. So glad this place is close by. ####################### read more

Today's lunch was the Carolina BBQ burger. Very good! Delicious rosemary seasoned fries. Thinly sliced is a great alternative from other restaurants that serve fries. The ketchup was homemade and it was delicious! I generally don't eat all my fries, yet with the ketchup I did! Great seating and atmosphere! read more

Love everything about this place! Miss the great Happy Hour prices and the longer hours. It is hard to get there before happy hour ends which has caused us to come less often. Would love some new menu items as well but only to explore something new. Service is always great! read more

Amazing food and drinks! Super fun vibe. You'd never know it from the street but it is worth trying!

First time here. Nice lunch menu. Breakfast items available along with sandwiches, burgers, salads and sides. Skinny fries are my favorite, so I chose them with my chicken sandwich. Although the sandwich was great the fries were more like shoestring potatoes. Crunchy and dry. Not what I envisioned. I did enjoy a wonderful Octoberfest beer from an Iowa brewery. We'll try again for breakfast. read more
