Never disappointed. Food is great. Service is great. The employees seem to enjoy their jobs

The food was just OK did not blow me away at all. The pizza crust was very soggy, but I guess that's typical of a New York style pizza. The service was good. read more

Excellent outdoor service. Pet friendly. Great Margherita Pizza. Tap beer. Full bar

No one expects an Italian restaurant to have a lot of Gluten Free options --- and, they don't. --- but, their GF pasta is done well, and they offer it with most of their pasta options, making this a viable option for Celiacs read more

Great pizza fresh salads great service. Very satisfying for our whole family. We always come here when visiting E town

Food was mediocre. Pasta dishes watery. Marina sauce very sweet. Fried mushrooms were from frozen. Tough. And chewy. Chicken had a funky flavor. Service was good, kept checking on needs. The room and tables appeared clean. It wasn't very noisy either. read more

Was going to place a pickup order because black olive is (was) one of my favorite restaurants. I looked at the online menu and it's impossible to understand. read more

We arrived on a Sunday for lunch. There were a descent amount of people, but the place is large enough to accommodate several patrons. Patio seating is also available. We were seated quickly. We ordered the calzone and shrimp scampi. Just like most calzones, it was huge and could probably feed a family of four (in my opinion) lol. The shrimp scampi was a shareable portion too. The shrimp scampi includes mushrooms and tomatoes, which typically isn't included with the shrimp scampi I typically have, but compliments the dish very well. I would definitely come back next time I'm in town. read more

Service was excellent and the food was outstanding. I just wish I should've gone to this restaurant a lot sooner because the people I spoke with told me how good it was now that I've been. I will definitely be going back when you have good food and good service you can't ask for any better. read more

The 2 star rating is MY fault. I went to an Italian-ish restaraunt and ordered a cheeseburger. :( It tasted like prison food (not that I know what that tastes like, lol) If I blindfolded myself, I would not have known the meat was burger. It was tasteless texture about 2 centimeters thick. read more

They can do better. Friends recommended the place and ordered a hamburger and asked for it to be cooked medium. Was told not sure they can do that but will check. Burger came out gray in color, tasted like a frozen patty out of a box from Walmart. Wife ordered a Stromboli and it was chewy and seemed like to was just microwaved. Won't be back! read more

Oh my...this place was fantastic for our party of 8 for lunch. The lunch menu was great and the prices were reasonable. Our server Kierston gave us a great deal of attention and everyone loved their meal. This place has a great ambiance with some unique eating spaces. I would highly recommend dining here. read more

One of the best meals I've had out in I'd say close to a year! Caesar salad was crisp and fresh and the chicken piccata was lemony and wonderfully zesty! I can't even make it that good! Everything was so good that I got a piece of Tiramisu to go! Service was stellar! I give the place my highest recommendation! read more

The black olive in Elizabethton tn is so bad. The food was not edible and the prices were doubled the ones in johnson city and in jonesborough. Would not order from this black olive at all. Also on door dash u can tell the difference this one is called "the black olive restaurant " The good one just says "the black olive" so be careful. read more

Great atmosphere, big booths, lots to choose. Was hard to pick so I hope we get a chance to go back. Garlic knots with mozzarella were warm and definitely fresh. I had the chicken festival. It was a creamy delicious sauce with lots of fresh red onion and tomatoes. Service was prompt and friendly. Check came with a QR code to simply scan and pay right from your phone. read more

My first time visiting. My BFF lives near here. We had been on vacation traveling for 2 weeks and winding down. She suggested The Black Olive. I am glad she did. Food is reasonably priced, great portions, good attentive service and just an enjoyable dinning experience. The next time I visit Johnson City The Black Olive will be on my list. I am a picky eater and there was plenty of choices for me to enjoy. I hope you enjoy eating there! read more

Was not expecting such great food in our pass through Elizabethton. Wow! So good! Food almost like Olive Garden but so much better. Prices were great for the amount of food we got. Servers were nice. Ambiance was great too read more

Four of us dined in and service was excellent. Shrimp scampi and chicken pasta were both delicious. My daughter and the chicken Parmesan and it was just average. Garlic knots were perfect! Waitress recommended a wine that went perfectly. read more

The dip fried mushrooms are always so good. My daughter gets wings and this is the only place she eats them from

The staff were pleasant and friendly. The foods were good. We had Chicken Alfredo and Veal Parmesan with Spaghetti and they were very delicious. The atmosphere were nice and good lightings, not too dark nor too bright. read more

Great food. Very helpful curb side pickup. Gluten free pizza is great. Tortellini dish is also great.

Well by far THE BEST Martini, in my goodness, you killed it. Thanks! My server, Christy said they had watermelon flavored vodka & raspberry flavoring. No recipe. And wow awesome!! I ordered my go to grilled chicken salad. It was so good, tender chicken and fresh salad fixings. Always good, always fresh and the Black Olive never disappoints you only regret showing up alone with no dance partner. The weather is perfect for a porch dinner. read more

Pretty good food . Service was good . No complaints . Would have given it 5 stars but I am 100-% Italian so I can be hard to please

Here's the thing: the food here is so delicious and the space is so nice. The person who seated our party and the folks in the front were so helpful and kind. Unfortunately, our server was really rude. She seemed a little short with us at first and later got defensive when we checked on some appetizers we had been waiting on for a while. The strangest thing was that when we ordered drinks and one of our party asked if she could have both a drink and a water, the server told her she could only have both if she would drink the water. When the water came, it tasted more chlorinated than the party member cared for, so she did not drink it. Our server brought this party member the bill at the end of the meal and told her that she got the bill because she didn't drink her water. It wasn't a lighthearted joke. It was just...bizarre. We really enjoyed our food and most of our experience. We will go to the Black Olive again, but I really hope we aren't assigned this server next time. read more

Food not great. Service adequate. Ambiance ok. Haven't be back. For the prices you pay to eat out you should have a better experience.

The garlic knots were good. Everything else was extremely mediocre. The chicken in the fettuccine Alfredo was like a lunch meat style, very off putting. I had personally had the 5 meat pasta and it was extremely underwhelming. We ordered a Hawaiian pizza to split and it had tons of cheese, not much sauce and the ham was lunch meat style as well. We saw our waitress about one time once we got the food. Overall, I wasted my money. I'd soon go to Fazoli's next time for half the price and better food. read more

Staff was super friendly. The place was very clean and welcoming. Food was delicious. Strongly recommend the Italian nachos.

We were in Elizabethton for the night passing through and asked for a supper recommendation. The Black Olive was at the top of the list, and it was delicious! Wonderful pizza and great service! read more

We were staying in the roam mountain area and felt like a real good Italian meal it was recommended to go here and try out the food we order the lasagna and the eggplant Parmesan both were very good and very delicious the service from Kaitlyn was excellent including all the other staff checking up on us and making sure we were taking care of my soda was refilled three times and not once did I ask for it for to be refilled I would definitely highly recommend this place the food is very good reasonably priced and excellent parking read more

What a joke of a place to Dine, we sat there and waited for the hostess to speak to us she never once lifted her head ,she asked how many it would be ,she said right this way , they seated us , came by and asked if we had been waited on and we replied no,continued to sit there and no one ever did come and wait on us after people come in behind us and receive their drinks and their orders were taken we decided we had had enough what a joke of a place to eat we left there and went to amigos . We were taken in immediately set a table our orders were taken immediately and we had salsa and chips while our meals were being prepared. read more

We were seated and waited 15 minutes without ever being greeted at table. Not busy and plenty of staff more concerned with cleaning than customer service. We went elsewhere. read more

Great pasta and salads. Only visited once, but was completely satisfied. Cool outdoor sitting area too.

Exceptional Pizza! Stopped by while visiting the area and was blown away with the food quality, upscale decor, and family friendly service. We ordered the Pizza Margarita and it was incredible. Amy our server was fast and friendly she stopped by frequently to check on how we were doing. Even had the owner/manager Kinsey stop by to make sure everything was good. I'm hard to please but these folks earned 5 stars across the board. Highly recommend!! read more
