Stopped in here to grab a bite and loved it. The pasta was delicious, loved the rigatoni noodles, the sausages, chicken and shrimp were prepared nicely and all the flavors were amazing! The Sangrias were good as well. The restaurant was well kept and the services were super nice and pleasant. Did I mention the price, super good drinks & food for an affordable price! read more

Wednesday - 1/2 priced pizzas. And that's all you need to know. Otherwise, food is decent, many items on the pricey side. Service is adequate, ambience is casual though can get crowded as the place stays busy. Best advice, belly up in the bar, order a half priced pizza and a couple of drinks on a Wednesday night and you're good to go. read more

Tucked away along Route 22 behind Chick-fil-a sits this Italian restaurant. It has been on the area for years. It had obviously been renovated as it so very up to date and has a more modern vibe. There's a bar with high tops and a dining room that is rather large. Parking could be an issue as the lot so small and the spaces are close. You can park in the hotel lot behind them. We were greeted by some hostesses that were super friendly and we were immediately seated. The bar had a 15 minute wait. The dining room is large and has comfortable seating. Nice lighting as well. Ordered two drinks - strawberry lemon drop martini and a blood orange martini. Both were meh. They were good, but wouldn't order again. They did have a large selection of various flavors of crushes and sangrias. Ordered the calamari for an app. Wouldn't recommend this. The marinara with it was homemade, but the calamari itself was just typical frozen breaded calamari. Breadsticks and salad were brought. Both tasty - especially the breadsticks! Ordered the shrimp fra diavolo and was asked if wanted it mild, medium, spicy. Went with spicy. Absolutely delicious. Would recommend this! Ordered the stuffed flounder with a side of broccolini. Flounder was great and there were LUMP crab pieces inside with a great imperial sauce on top. Asked for butter for the broccolini but was given packs of butter that were hard so didn't melt. Lots of sides to pick from when ordering. Desserts looked amazing (they are on display at hostess station). Just couldn't fit anything as the meals are great portions. Greta value for the quality and quantity. Server was terrific! Shout out to Kyle. Would come again. read more

They serve salad and breadsticks here like Olive Garden, yum. There is a very extensive menu of lots of chicken options. I tried chicken française for the first time and was surprised that it came out looking like chicken with fried egg on top, lol. For some reason, I had thought it would be breaded like panko and come out with a crispy topping. Even though my dish looked kind of yellow from all the lemon sauce, it was delicious and very filling. Loved all the protein, haha. The staff is very nice, and it's a nice restaurant to enjoy a good meal with company. read more

My first time here and I'll definitely be back. I couldn't decide so I ordered a bunch of different things. The service was amazing. The staff was nice and helpful, and them having a jukebox made my day so much better. I went around 3pm on Saturday and it wasn't too bad but the later it got, the more people showed up. Spinach dip 7/10 ; Buffalo wings 100/10; pasta 1000/ 10! read more

I have eaten at this Restaraunt quite a few times. I had the Shrimp Fra Diablo. It came with 6 very large shrimp, but the amount of pasta was about half of what I used to get. A lot of tomato sauce & skipped the least of the cost items, the linguine. Sorry to report this. read more

I've been coming here all my life but the last year the food quality has gone down. Sometimes we go it's good but other times it's definitely not .....

Amazing food! The crab pretzel is a show stopper! We were at a lacrosse event all day and we may have been a bit under dressed, the only negative I would say was the reception (or else I would have given a 5 star review) otherwise the vibe was great. .... omg the food was delicious!!!!

Really great service I believe our servers name was kiami really friendly and kept a smile on. The food was really delicious breadsticks taste fresh and the salad crisp .

After setting up at the proving grounds, we decided to go out for a bite. Based on Yelp reviews, we decided on the spot. As we walked in, we were surprised how busy the bartender was and not acknowledging us. Unfortunately, this seems to be like a glorified Olive Garden. Our adult beverages were OK. I had to search for the crab in the Maryland crab soup. My wife did enjoy her rigatoni Bolognese. My Greek salad was adequate. read more

Came here with some coworkers for a holiday luncheon and was pleasantly surprised. Haven't been to this establishment in years... but the food didn't disappointment. The interior and ambiance was modern. Not too crowded where we were seated. Large room on the left side near the bathrooms. But the service was pretty good. The fried pickles were crunchy goodness!!! Enjoyed those. And you can't go wrong with a lil bread and salad. I had ordered the chicken Marsala, and man o man... was that a tasty ordeal. 10 out of 10. Olive Garden, who?! That chickens Marsala was so good to me, I had to bring the rest home. Would totally order again. read more

I ordered a pepperoni pizza and a tiramisu for carry out. I was incredibly disappointed. The pizza was cold, undercooked, rubbery, and tasted like it had previously been frozen. The tiramisu was a joke. It was $7, the size of cake pop, and it was packaged in a way that appears it had been thrown. I do not recommend dining in or out at this location. read more

Friendly staff and great food. We have gone there often over the years and always nice.

eat at about 3 o'clock. The place was empty, greeted by the waitress seated. place look very sterile. Not friendly at all . Salad came out with breadsticks were half the size of the originals and they were hard and stale salad was OK. Salad plate was the size of a saucer requested a bolt who came out over I one of the which was baked chicken and shrimp fettuccine not fit for my dog to eat. . Long time patron of this restaurant I don't think I'll be back. read more

Very good dinner! I've been to Olive Tree Aberdeen a few times since my last post and I've noticed a change in attention to details. Service was excellent and to food was very good. Our dining experience last night was the blue-hair 0430 style so there was no contention to deal with but again, great service. Dinner: I had the red pepper sauce with penne & shrimp and my wife had a pasta dish with Diablo sauce. Both meals were very good. No deserts and we got out with tip @ $70. Unlimited salad & bread sticks if you like that stuff. read more

Came in late and they delivered an outstanding meal even though we arrived 15 minutes before closing everything was fresh and good

I've been back to Olive Tree a few times, and overall, I think I stand by the three star rating. The food is good, but not great. The service is friendly. The ambiance is still that of a knock-off Olive Garden. I'm a fan of their ravioli, but find the portion a bit small - now that I've had bariatric surgery, it's perfect, but if you have a big appetite, I'd pick something else. They have a decent happy hour, but you have to ask for the happy hour menu, it won't be offered to you. I think the biggest knock I have against this place is that I don't like going out for Italian, which certainly isn't their fault. read more

Great service very prompt and we had a large crowd. The food was amazing I had ordered the salad and ravioli.

Always have a delicious meal. The all-you-can-eat salad and breadsticks are a wonderful way to start your dining experience. The food is richly seasoned and prepared--one of our favorite places to dine. The service is professional and attentive. Used to be a Hardee's and was renovated in 1992. It has gone through additions and decorating over the years, but the current ambiance is the best yet. read more

This is our second time here & I can't believe I didn't give this amazing place a 10 review the last time we were here! ( Must've been the delicious lemondrop martinis or the blueberry Sangria!) NOT to mention the perfect dessert espresso martini! Crystal & Nikki are AMAZING!! The chefs here are exceptionally accomodationg as well!!!They made me Penne Ala Vodka with chicken that wasn't even on the menu!!! We will be supporting this ...probably at least once a week from now on! Thank you all!! read more

This reminds me of the other place lol. I thoroughly enjoyed the ambiance. We did not have to wait lo g to be seated. The salad we delicious and fresh. I ordered the Cajun Pasta. I changed the noodle to fettucini. The Italian sausages were so flavor and the shrimp were a nice size. read more

we sat in the bar allowing for a nice view of the Sunday games. we were promptly greeted for drink orders. the menu is pretty comprehensive offering many types of choices. e were served a salad and breadsticks that were great! the salad was fresh and blended nicely with the dressing. he ordered the lasagna and i ordered a shrimp and broccoli alfredo. the dishes appeared and looked a unauthentic. one bite confirmed the appearance. the lasagna was obviously frozen and defrosted for serving. the alfredo tasted more like a heavy cheese sauce and was far to heavy for the dish. perhaps we made poor decisions with our orders. it's a nice place but the entrees were more than a bit disappointing. read more

The Olive Tree- Aberdeen - Lasagna - Italian Near Me - Aberdeen, Maryland

We have been dining at The Olive Tree in Aberdeen for over 25 years. We haven't had any complaints until the last 2 years. We find that prices have increased, and the quality of some of their foods has diminished. Tonight we did carryout. I ordered my usual chicken Marsala. when I got home I found that the 2 thin chicken pieces were no larger than 3 fingers wide strips. One was about 4"long and the other half 2" long. The absence of Marsala sauce was very noticeable. We will return for dine in sometime in the future. I will voice my recent disappointment and hold them to a higher standard. Let's see how this goes.... read more

Olive Tree is a neighborhood great. There is no need to go to another casual Italian place. Seafood and chicken all are very fresh. Their tomato marinara is flavorful. Service is always excellent. Today I had a special - pork shank. And boy I was happy I did. A well cooked and well-sized pork shank with a healthy portion of mashed potatoes and green beans. I ate half and was stuffed. Looking forward to eating the rest tomorrow. Had a blue Hawaiian to drink which was delicious. Shared a seared Tuna appetizer (not pictured) which was excellent and a good portion. Only complaint here was the sear could've been better. But still great. My friends like their chicken piccata and seafood pasta. Everything fresh and flavorful. Sauces do come a little on the salty side, but nothing crazy. Complimentary salad and breadsticks always good and better than OG. We were too stuffed for dessert. I've been here many times and will continue to frequent. read more

Great food, but disappointed with extra charges for takeout The food here is delicious, and I've enjoyed dining in at the restaurant. However, I was disappointed to find that when ordering for delivery or takeout, they do not include parmesan cheese with the pasta unless you specifically ask--and then they charge an extra fee. Why is parmesan included for free when dining in, but not for takeout or delivery? It feels unfair to pay more for something that's standard in-house. read more

The service was good and the server was pleasant but not especially friendly. The atmosphere was relaxed. However, the crab cake was extremely disappointing, quite the opposite of the one I had just a few months ago. The past crab cake was excellent, consisting of jumbo lump crab, period. The one I was served today had, by my count and that of my companion, approximately five lumps of crab. Worse, you could see layers of mayonnaise throughout, suspending the crab pieces. A kind of crab slop, perfectly broiled. The other dishes were fine. The check had to be redone, as wrong items were listed. This was surprising, but easily corrected, and we were soon on our way. Maybe the next time the crab cake would be great, but really I can't imagine trying. I couldn't stand having this happen a second time. read more

My family of six ate here for lunch. The ambiance is nice and the service was excellent. We had the seafood pasta, mushroom linguine, cheesesteak, chicken tenders with fries, penne with meat sauce, cream of crab soup, salad and breadsticks. The portions are huge and ended up being lunch and dinner for all of us. They do not skimp on crab, scallops or shrimp in the pasta. Everything was flavorful and fresh. The croutons in the salad were too tough to eat but that didn't take away from the freshness and quality of the salad. Our server was on point. Will be coming back to try the crab cake it looked meaty and was huge! read more

Let's start out with the ambience and decor, both perfection. I have been coming to this location what feels like all my life being a native of Harco. I haven't been in probably a good 10yrs. The place is beautiful. We sat at the bar and were promptly greeted. We started with the calamari, which was overcooked and am pretty sure they need to change the fryer oil. The house salad was very fresh and the dressing good. I got the ravioli, the description makes it sound like a carbonara but, it's more like an Alfredo. Either way, so good!!! BF got the lasagna, I am not a fan of anything in a red sauce, he said it was good. Why the 3 stars? Service was great, ambiance good, food was just ok. The calamari really put me off of what should have been a good dining experience. Will I try it again? Yes! Maybe it was just an off night for them. If you are in the area and have a want for Italian food you should definitely check this place out. read more

Stopped in The Olive Tree sort of accidentally, but happy we did. This Italian restaurant is a bit like Olive Garden but stepped up several notches. Meals come with salad and breadsticks which are both good. The servings on our pasta dishes were HUGE. I ate until I couldn't eat anymore and it looked like I hadn't touched it. Our server was friendly and quick. A little too much attention on ambiance meant it was dark to the point of being unable to see very well inside. We would come back again if in the area. read more

Ambience: aesthetically is beautifully rustic. Lighting is perfect. Service: our server Kiersten was phenomenal and attentive, so much so that we never once asked for a refill, extra napkins, or anything for that matter. She was quick and always responded pleasantly when asked for something. Food: Now you can absolutely tell that the food isn't bagged food, that someone took their time to actually cook. The only complaint is the chicken was very thin on the Chesapeake and broccolini was bland. But I will definitely revisit when I'm in MD. read more
