RUN, do not walk to Oliver's. We randomly stopped for the night in Macon and yelped where to go. Ok so Oliver's got top rating, let's try it out. The $40 ribeye is worthy of double to triple the price. I'm from Charleston and this beats out steakhouses there. Service is amazing as well. Aidan is unbelievable!!! Give this man a raise immediately, if not sooner. Haven't met a server this great in years. I guess I'll have to stop back here again randomly! Just had to update because the deserts. I might now move here because of the chocolate cake. The chocolate cake increased real estate values in Macon Georgia. Wow read more

Oliver's was a recommendation from a local. Glad we decided to listen. Cute warm and homey atmosphere. It had a nice lunch crowd even though it was pouring rain. Seated immediately and drink order was taken. We started with the sweet potato fries which were delicious. For lunch I ordered theTCB melt with fries, my husband order the salmon with broccoli and pasta salad. ( he was not a fan of the salad) and my son had the chicken fettuccini with pesto. My son's meal came out wrong (a sandwich) it happens but I felt bad eating while he waited. Overall it was a wonderful experience and would dine there again. See menu for better descriptions and prices. read more

Best corner bistro in Macon. Serving for both Lunch and Dinner. For app starters try the sweet potato fries. Our main course consisted of; 1. Excellent sweetened Salmon garnished with brussel spouts and pasta salad 2. Pesto chicken fettuccine - cooked perfectly 3. Turkey melt with a side of fries. The bistro building matched the downtown vibe which is a nineteenth century civil war era. Also, our waiter was very attentive however it did take time to receive our order due to time of day. read more

I was very underwhelmed by this restaurant. I did not have a bad experience but everything seemed mediocre. The service was fine, the food is good and the restaurant was well decorated and clean. The staff did not present well and this restaurant could have some class. After a short but considerable wait on a table, we were given the opportunity to sit at one of the tables in the bar area. A party left just ahead of us sitting down and the staff failed to thoroughly clean the dining area. My wife and I both ordered a sandwich with fries and a small salad. Complete assumption on our part but we prefer that a salad comes prior to a meal...but this is on us for not asking. All of the food was exactly as we ordered. They serve large portions here. I would dine here again but I would expect to have a stellar experience on my next visit or it would be my last. read more

Attended a Christmas Celebration with Forever Diamonds last week, and my First Experience with Oliver's was outstanding. Everyone and everything was great. The atmosphere was perfect as downtown Macon at this corner at Popular and 2nd Street is an absolute pleasure to visit. The Bloody Mary spicy was great. Our table service team did an excellent job. The appetizers were really good. And my Rosotto Salmon dish was outstanding. All in all a perfect night. Thank you Oliver's & Forever Diamonds. Two outstanding business. Merry Christmas! read more

First time in Macon and heard I had to visit Oliver's and it did not disappoint! The staff was extremely pleasant and ensured we were enjoying our time. The food was fabulous! We tried the sweet frites, cheese & bread plate, rabbit risotto special, bolognese rigatoni, NY steak, and bourbon salmon. We finished our visit off tasting both the decadent turtle cheesecake and lemon cake. Highly recommend this wonderful downtown spot if you're stopping through or visiting for the weekend. read more

What an amazing place... After visiting another place that appeared to be out of business, I decided to drive to downtown to try Oliver's corner bistro. Being that I was dining by myself, I chose to sit at the bar. Brooklyn, the bartender/server, was friendly, attentive, and very personable. I wasn't super hungry, so I decided to try the tomato bisque soup and the pesto cheese bread starter. Both tasted fresh and very flavorful. It tasted a little like a high-end, deconstructed grilled cheese sandwich with tomato soup. While I was enjoying my food at the bar, Brooklyn told me about other menu items, including some from the Saturday and Sunday brunch menu. I'll definitely have to return the next time I stop in Macon. Cheers read more

First time here and we had a fabulous dinner! We sat at the bar and enjoyed wonderful service and great conversation with the bartenders. The meatloaf was the ultimate comfort food, and the filet mignon special was outstanding--truly incredible flavor and possibly the best filet we've ever had. The chocolate ganache cake did not disappoint. We love finding local neighborhood gems like this, and the prices were very reasonable for the quality of the food. We will definitely be repeat customers! read more

The Good: Great cheesy bread and lobster ravioli! The Bad: Our medium rare steak was overcooked The Ugly: The waitress got our friend's order wrong (he ordered pork chop but they brought out ravioli). The pork chop didn't come out until everyone else was done with their food and at that point our friend didn't want the food anymore and refused to pay. Luckily they comp'd his bill. I would be willing to try this place again if the service is better! read more

Yum! The super food salad with salmon is so fresh. Excellent and filling. Can't wait to try other dishes. Kind staff. Great atmosphere with a bar, indoor, and outdoor (dog friendly) seating. Support downtown Macon! read more

My bestie and I have made Oliver's our favorite lunch spot, at least twice monthly, We always try to eat outside, street noise not bad at all and it's just more fun out there. They're super attentive to our every need, and oh my (!) what delish food they have!! The super salads are so fresh with high quality ingredients, chicken so tender and tasty, and if you can splurge, calorie-wise, the Reuben sandwich cannot be beat. I take half of mine home for supper that night, and it's still so great. Maconites should be proud of this wonderful place to enjoy fabulous food, sweet staff and an environment that's super cool. We've tried most other lunch spots, Oliver's take first place with us, and we're pretty picky. highly recommend, J&S read more

Way to go Macon- you are two for two with meals today. My coworkers and I had a wonderful meal! Our server Megan was attentive but not a hoverer. The place was busy with a couple of large groups at one table. The kitchen was cranky out food, though. We had little lag time between ordering and eating. We started at the bar prior to sitting down for dinner and the bartender was talented and engaging. There was a set menu that was populated by specials of the day. I chose the ravioli of the day- stuffed smoked chicken with ricotta. Perfect portion size and very tasty. All three of us enjoyed our meals. read more

Loved my visit here!! This is a cute local spot in the downtown area that is excellent. We came right before brunch ended and the entire team provided excellent service. The food was very flavorful. The popular items were the bourbon glazed salmon and the shrimp and grits. Both were very delicious! We also ordered some bread that came with some sort of pesto butter that was very tasty. I loved the chill vibe in the restaurant--lots of trendy decor. The bathrooms were well maintained and clean. Parking was relatively easy despite being in a downtown area on a busy day. Please come support this business! It's a great addition to the downtown Macon scene. read more

Oliver's Corner Bistro - Bourbon glazed salmon with collards and orzo salad - Sandwiches Near Me - Macon, Georgia

When you have worked a 13 hour shift and your sister calls and asks if you want steak or salmon...... feeling so loved. This was my first time experience at Oliver's. It was bookmarked and I finally got to try it. I was hoping to dine in on my first visit but carry out works just as well for me. The food was really good. I'm not certain but I think that may be a garlic parmesan butter that was included as a condiment. I put it in my whipped potatoes and boy oh boy. It tastes so divine y'all. If you put it on the bread or any meat/veggie, it would be good also. The cheesecake I have yet to try but if I had to guess it looks like caramel pecan. Update...So after I dug into the cheesecake I saw the chocolate so it's confirmed. A turtle cheesecake it is.... read more

Visiting Macon for the first time? Try this for one of your meals. The place is often packed specially inside. Good thing they have outdoor seating to accommodate more guests. Just fan the flies away. The food were mostly good specially the wonton nachos which can be considered a meal. I think the serving of the pasta though is too little, same with the kids steak. Superfood salad and dressing tasted great! Would have given them 4.5 stars overall but there's not option for it. Nice interior, fancy restroom, complimentary mint candy from the host's area. I just noticed the menu from last year had a bump compared with the current. read more

I can tell that Oliver's has gone through management changes or owners. This was the worst experience I've ever had. The service was bad and I notice some odd behavior from management .Let's just say it was favoritism to certain people. read more

Oliver's Corner Bistro - The New York strip was cooked to perfection and tender. The Gouda Mac and cheese was by far the best ever. - Sandwiches Near Me - Macon, Georgia

Walked in and waited for a hostess for 10 minutes, she asked "can I help you? ". Maybe it's just me but that's a pretty bad greeting at a restaurant. I told her we would like to eat and was told it was over an hour wait. My wife and I did not decide to stay. This was a Sunday during the cherry blossom festival. read more

The food here always delicious, and their menu changes seasonally. I was here today with my friends visiting out of town and they enjoyed the food as much as our great server! The ambiance of the restaurant is super cute too! If you're ever visiting Macon GA I would recommend Oliver's. read more

This quaint little bistro shop in Macon Georgia was absolutely amazing! It is located in downtown Macon, and you can sit outside and even take your dog with you or you can go inside. The premises are immaculately clean, including the bathroom, which is always a plus! Our server was named Taylor and she was just amazing! My guest had special dietary needs and she never acted like it was a bother to check on it and got back with us in all cases! Our food was simply a salmon salad, but when I tell you, that was the best salmon salad I've ever had. It was amazing dressings are made on the premises. We tried a pickled dressing, and we tried a green dress and also a honey vinaigrette, they were all delicious. It was so delicious that we decided to have another salad for dessert! Sorry, there's no pictures of the salad we dove right in! Next time though, because there will be a next time :-) read more

Oliver's Corner Bistro - Best of macon! Yummy - Sandwiches Near Me - Macon, Georgia

My sister and I ate brunch here on Saturday. We were so excited because it looked like such a cute and fun place. The inside is adorable. I ordered French toast, crispy bacon and cheese grits. The French toast was good. The bacon was very floppy and didn't have a lot of flavor. The cheese grits had Parmesan cheese on top and were cold. We arrived about 20 minutes before brunch was over. By the time we got our food, they had stopped making grits. One our waitress finally came to ask us how our food was, I mentioned to her that my grits were cold and could she please warm them up. She came back and said that the chef didn't have any more grits. I was very disappointed. The manager was very nice and did take that off our bill. However, our waitress who was very sweet I think was overwhelmed with all the tables she had. It took her almost 15 minutes to check with us to see how our food was once it arrived. By that time I couldn't get any more grits. I might come back and try it another time just not for brunch. read more

The review has nothing to do with the food we got in there around 12 o'clock for a quick lunch sat down and ordered two simple sandwiches after waiting over an hour and watching multiple people around us get seated, order, and finish Their food. We finally asked if we could please have our food they apologized. We fell through the cracks but by the time we got our food, we been in there over an hour and a our parking meter ran out. read more

I am between a three and a half and four on this spot. We were driving home to Jacksonville from visiting family north of Atlanta and used Yelp to find great brunch spots in Macon. This one was number one. After calling and speaking to a very nice young man, we were set for our reservation in an hour and fifteen minutes. Timing was spot on. We found a parking spot a few blocks away and were immediately seated. They have several spaces inside that are in three different rooms and outdoor patio seating. We were seated in the back room and I think I would have preferred a front room that allowed for more people watching/interaction. We had already looked at the menu on the drive down and were pretty set on our choices. The only question was appetizer or not? We went for the sweet frites appetizer and it was really good. Sweet potato fries cooked perfectly drizzled with balsamic glaze then topped with blue cheese crumbles and basil. Really good! Hubby had the pancake breakfast that was served with two pancakes, two eggs, bacon strips and fresh fruit. He thought it was OK, but not great. Eggs were dry. Pancakes were too thick and also dry. Bacon and fruit were fine. I ordered the French toast breakfast but because I don't eat meat asked for the candied bacon on the side. The first few pieces of French toast were black and burnt. I pushed those aside and found some that were edible, but pretty sad dish. No fruit, nothing but pieces of French toast that were over cooked. I had a signature cocktail called the sangrini and that was very good. Our server was nice but didn't check in much and the kitchen should not have served that French toast. Brunch is your standard fare. A cute spot but a little lacking on our visit. It was busy so I would suggest reservations. read more

Pros: The food was delicious and the prices reasonable. We came for lunch and got the chicken club which was fantastic. Mary, our server was very helpful and attentive. The restaurant is nice but a little small. There is a ton of outdoor seating. Cons: the mayonnaise is in little packets that are hard to open. A nice restaurant should put mayonnaise in a one or two ounce cup and bring it like a side of ketchup. Also, we came in once for off hour and were turned away even though there were open tables because we didn't have a reservation (it wasn't crowded at this time). To be honest, I do think it's because we had a baby with us. I don't know much about the restaurant business but with that many tables open, I think we could have been seated but maybe there was a party or something coming in. If you want good food, make a reservation and you'll be just fine! read more
