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

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

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

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

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

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!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Stopped at the olive pit on our way through town for their muffuletta sandwich. The bread was fresh and the sandwich was really tasty. The bottom of the sandwich was saturated with oil from the olive mix but it didn't take away from the goodness. I really like their sandwich topping bar. You can add anything and as much as you would like. Staff were very friendly. 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

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

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

Olive Pit - Oreo shake - Burgers Near Me - Corning, California

First time here and the food was great. The fresh bread was amazing!! Service was on par. We will definitely be coming back.

The number of items available were amazing and the customer service was spot on. Atmosphere was cute.

$42 for a burger, a kids salami sandwich with cheese, a lemonade and a shake? The burger was definitely frozen, the sandwich was a basic sandwich, which... whatever. It's for a 7 year old. But even he looked unimpressed. Service was fine. But that was definitely NOT worth $42. $20 for all, tops. Not worth stopping unless you're shopping for olive stuff. Otherwise, the food is just.... Blah... read more

This little gem of a place turned out to be a great stop for us on our way from northern central California to Mount Shasta. Stopping not only broke up an otherwise fairly monotonous road trip, but the food is wonderful. My wife and I shared a muffaletta sandwich; we had ours warmed before serving, and it was delightful. We bought some olives during the first stop, and we liked it so much that we returned on our way back home. It was on the return trip that I had the best milkshake I've ever had in my life, and that was their signature strawberry balsamic shake. The best milkshake flavor I've ever tasted. read more

One of my favorite stops on our way to OR! They have the BEST olives and olive oils around. We buy the green olives brined in water by the case! They have a really run and delicious sample tasting bar so you can try before you buy. Definitely a must see! read more

This places has lots of olives! It's a fast food style kitchen and they do not serve alcohol.

What a cool place! We love olives and saw the road signs for this place and decided to make a "pit" stop Easily could have spent $500 here!! All the people in front of us spent $100's of dollars and walked out with boxes of olives. Due to Covid they tasting bar is closed but I understand (probably saved me a lot of money) Ended up getting a giant jar of garlic stuffed olives , Kalamata olives, dipping oil & drink skewers (super cool - perfect for martinis or my favorite bloody Mary's) Would definitely stop here again to buy more olives and try a muffuletta sandwich read more

This is a good place to stop for lunch while driving I-5. There are two parts to the Olive Pit: the Shop and the Sandwich Shop. If you like all things olives including Balsamic Vinegar be very careful in the shop. You can easily run up a big bill by the time you get to the register. I think I counted a half a dozen different flavors of Balsamic Vinegar. Shelves of all kinds of olives and stuffed olives. Then there is the dried fruits and nuts. COVID-19 has changed the charm of the Sandwich Shop. They are only doing take out. Order at the counter and pick up at another counter. There are tables inside and outside where you can eat. This trip I ordered a Muffuletta Sandwich and a Black Raspberry Milkshake. My wife ordered a Muffuletta Burger and a Carmel Milkshake. The difference between the Sandwich and the Burger was the there was a burger patty in the burger. This being an olive shop I expected that the muffuletta to be top notch. I was not disappointed. It was excellent. My wife said the same about the burger. The milkshakes were pure old school with lots of ice cream and great flavor. We will be returning to enjoy the fruits of the Olive Pit. read more

Vanilla balsamic shake was pretty good and the mufeletta wasn't too bad either. Nice road stop

Traveling and had always thought about stopping so today we finally did. We tried their sandwiches and it was disappointing. You basically had to build your own sandwich. Meaning you pick your sandwich that comes with no condiments on it and you add in what you like. Except to me the sandwiches are basic sandwiches that could be easily made at home. If I wanted to build my own sandwich, I would have chosen that option. This place also has a store with lots of goodies in it. Would totally make sense to me to showcase what you sell in the store with your sandwiches. And include all condiments that would make it. That's why you have a chef/cook. Keep the build your own but with all other sandwiches, include the condiments to make it a GREAT sandwich! Don't have me try and figure out what condiments compliment it. Do not have a desire to go back. read more

A wonderful visit on our way home to Portland. So many olives and olive related products! Appreciated the testing bar - loved the dill pickle mustard, red pepper bacon jam, and green olives stuffed with Kalamata olives. Also, the peach balsamic shake was to die for! The staff was very friendly and helpful. Looking forward to visiting again when we pass through! read more
