We met our daughter in Macon for a Sunday afternoon not knowing much about the town. We were excited to try this place given the 4.5 stars, but unfortunately we left very disappointed. I will preface this by saying it was close to the end of their brunch time, but if you really don't want to seat people then just tell them you don't want to serve them. It took about 15 min to get seated, so we were at our table at about 1:40pm. There were plenty of tables open so they were not on a wait. We sat for another 12 min until a server came by and greeted us. She was not overly friendly and then took our drink order and didn't bring our drinks for another 10 min. She then took our order. We were excited about our food but then waited another 25 min for it to be delivered. Two dishes came out together and we waited another 5 or so for the 3rd order. The pancakes were slightly burned and rubbery...tasted like they were made at home...the hollaindaise in the eggs Benedict was really disappointing too...way too creamy and super bland. They had a nice outdoor seating area which would be nice I think. We sat inside and there was plenty of room to move around. With other spots to choose from in town I don't think I would recommend this place - definitely not if you roll up at 1:35/1:40 on a Sunday!! read more

Love this place. Food is definitely high quality, service is superior. Could not ask for a better dining experience in downtown Macon for sure. read more

The generous portions were more than enough to fill my belly. The place is a bit loud and would benefit from additional sound dampening. Service and the kitchen were both top notch providing food for our large table in what I would call record time. We didn't partake in the bar scene which looked quite lively and I would think would be a nice place to start your evening or wait for your entire party to arrive. read more

I booked a patio seat but got stuck in the back. I was starving so I stayed. Got the salmon--good flavor, a little tough, but some folks might like it that way. Not the worst, not the best. read more

Stopped in for a late dinner while traveling. Food was excellent! Had the salmon which came with risotto and the most delicious collard or turnip greens I've ever had. Our other entree was the pesto chicken which was also wonderful. Side salad was generous and very fresh. Great service and a very stylish atmosphere. Would definitely come here again. read more

The food was great! The service was a bit slow but nothing too crazy but when our server was at our table he was wonderful and knowledgeable. read more

Nice restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. It's located on the corner of 2nd St and Poplar St which is a pretty busy intersection. So there's a lot of foot traffic between tables while dining and traffic can be loud if sitting outside. The server was great, well when she actually came to check on us. Lunch time was pretty busy but it didn't take long for our food to come out. Everyone's food was delish and they provided my mom a complimentary dessert for her birthday. read more

Our waitress gave us great service and the chef prepared delicious food and excellent presentation.

Absolutely loved this restaurant. We sat at a window seat with a view of the outside table umbrella seating and street traffic. Beautiful clean restaurant with lots of seating and lots of business with very friendly staff. I ordered steak and eggs during brunch and my daughter ordered the hash with ham, bell peppers and onions and Jake had a Ruben with a side of fresh fruit. I also ordered the Capris with a side of toast which we all partook . Everything was delicious and I will definitely go back again and again. read more

That filet was so good. The bartenders were super nice and helped us pair wine with our dinner I really appreciated the vibe. Felt like a fun night out with the date or a nice sit at the bar by yourself and enjoy a nice drink vibe with good conversation. Looking forward to trying the rest of the menu read more

A friend of mine and I enjoyed brunch here last Saturday. Really glad we had reservations because it was busy! The food was delicious. The service was so friendly. And the restaurant is such a vibe! Highly recommend! read more

Really good food and service. The salmon is great, the salad is fresh, and the steak/eggs at brunch is worth checking out!

What a neat little hidden gem! We walked in here after having a beer at the brewery next door. The place is so inviting and chic when you walk in. We were quickly greeted and seated. The beer and wine menu is extensive with great offerings. We started with the butternut squash soup. It was anything to write home about. I wouldn't get it if I went back. For dinner we had Salmon on a bed of Rissoto that had chucks of butternut squash in it. The flavor of this dish was great. It was also a very large serving. One my co-workers has the red fish with asparagus and rice. He said the topping on the redfish was a 10/10. One of my other co-workers had the caprese appetizer and he loved it. We will be back. read more

My absolute favorite restaurant in Macon Georgia. Lifelong Maconite, who has had the pleasure to dine at every great restaurant Macon has had in the last 50 years. Leo's, Natalia's, Midtown Grill, Michael's on Mulberry, Cherry Corner, Cirque, The Green Jacket, to name a few. Good service, quality of food, value, and customer service are all extremely important. But the one thing I truly value is consistency and they never disappoint. read more

Great food, service was good but not great. The wait time for lunch during the week was pretty long. My in laws took me there for my birthday and it didn't seem like the waitress cared to ask what the occasion was with all the bright colored, glitter bags on the table. Everyone's food at the table came out delicious and made correctly, even with all the modifications. I had the black and blue steak, which was cooked perfectly at Medium rare. Overall 8/10, had the waitress stop by the table more than 3 times i would've given it a 10/10. I would definitely come back to try this place out for dinner. If you're looking for a quick bite on a lunch break, I'd suggest ordering out or calling ahead. read more

My favorite restaurant in Macon! And on a nice day, it's awesome to sit outside. The bar is great too. Fresh good eats. They change it up here and there, but I would say whatever salmon is usually what I order and always happy with! They also make a really good Paloma, which I swap tequila for Mezcal. read more

Good food, small restaurant, loved the ambiance. We sat at the bar which was fine but service was slow. The seafood special was carrot risotto topped with salmon. I'm not a huge salmon fan, but I really liked this dish. The sweet carrot set off the perfectly cooked salmon. (Salmon not fishy at all!) The other dish was Chicken alla Vodka, which was also tasty. read more

We had an entire bus load of women descend on the restaurant after athe Nutcracker performance. Not only were they ready for us, the delicious food came out quickly, the service was top notch and atmosphere lively and festive. Definitely will be back!!!! read more

We found this as we were passing through Macon and it was delicious. The pasta was fresh and I think the pesto was homemade with large chunks of chicken and bacon. The turkey sandwich had a great amount of of meat in it and the sweet potato fries were crispy. We loved eating outside on the sidewalk. Also... Jess was a great waitress read more

We stopped here in Macon on our way from Atlanta to Jekyll Island one Sunday. Despite having a one hour wait due to the brunch crowd, when I told the hostess I had two small children who could fit in high chairs, the owner (I think she was the owner) stepped in and offered us a table that had just been cleared. Definitely start with the sweet frites. It tastes just as good as the picture indicates- drizzled with a creamy blue cheese dressing and balsamic. These were the tastiest sweet potatoes fries I've had. Plentiful portion to share. Super food salad was fresh, crisp and tasty with the ginger dressing pairing well with the blue cheese and fruit. The kids marinara pasta was a generous portion. My 2.5-year-old had almost half and we were able to box the rest for dinner! Comes with fresh shredded basil. Definitely recommend! read more

The moment you walk into the door, you will smell delicious food. The chicken pesto pasta and cheesecake are the best and tasted just as good as some of the restaurants that I've tried in Italy. I visited Oliver's Corner Cafe twice in one week because everything is homemade! Taylor and Kristin are the true definition of southern hospitality and appreciate them sharing things to do in Macon. read more

We had a reservation for Valentine's Day and arrived early and sat almost immediately, but then the night went downhill from there. The entire night the restaurant was blaring One Direction, to the point I couldn't hear my partner sitting less than two feet away from me. We ordered the Crab dip as our starter and honestly it was the only decent thing we ate the entire night. I ordered the NY Strip (rare) with mashed potatoes and asparagus and my parents had the new Smoked Chicken Ravioli. The stake was fine but the sauce that came on top was sickly sweet to the point that I didn't eat but a few bites. The mashed potatoes were not seasoned at all and I only received three pieces of asparagus. For $30 I expected more. My partner's Chicken Ravioli was so dry. I'm not over exaggerating when I say that they had to take sips of water after every bite. They also didn't finish the meal. Again, for $24 I expect more. The food was so disappointing we literally discussed going somewhere else entirely for dessert. And we did. My partner and I came to the realization that while it wasn't good by any stretch of the imagination, it wasn't the worst that could've happened. With disappointing food, loud atmosphere, and bad ambiance, we left with the knowledge to never point a friend here for a good time. read more

Passed by here recently and was not disappointed one bit! We had the rueben sandwich with the gouda mac & cheese and the chicken salad croissant with the house salad and ginger dressing. Everything was made to order and very tasty! Honestly one of the best ruebens and mac & cheese that I've tried. It's in a great area and fairly priced for the quality and amount of food. They have a great lunch special for sandwiches that includes a side or a premium side! Will stop by again soon! read more

Wow! I'm very impressed with Macon's food scene. Had the best pisco sour I've ever had here. The food was awesome, too. Loved the wonton nachos appetizer and the butternut squash ravioli. One star off for the ravioli being a bit oily and overpriced for what you get. But the ambience and amazing service made up for it. I'd definitely visit again and try more options from their sizable menu. read more

Delicious food and good service ...well worth trying when you're in town. Excellent location in downtown Macon.

Very popular spot for Sunday brunch. Small menu, but interesting, and everything we tried was delish. Nice atmosphere, outdoor seating. It's def worth a visit. TIP: Make a reservation. Walk-ins are welcome but It fills up fast. read more

Stopped by for Sunday brunch on our way to the airport. Were so excited as the wait was too long the last time we came through Macon. It was very average. Had to ask for our server who was not very attentive the whole time. I watched another table wait on her for a while a few times as well. French toast was nothing special and was very dry, shrimp and grits were so sad as the grits were clumpy and dry. My southern husband said the grits were a disgrace to the state of Georgia haha. The shrimp was yummy at least. My husbands steak and eggs were good. I got the chicken salad sandwich to go and that was very yummy later in the airport. We probably will not be back. The rest of the staff was very pleasant and i think all thanked us for coming in on our way out. Food was definitely not the almost 5 stars that made me want to come in though. read more

I would give more than 5 stars if I could. I could not rave enough about Oliver's! Outstanding food, delightful service, and a perfect view of downtown Macon. I recommend making a reservation because they get BUSY especially around brunch time on a Sunday. We got seated outside and it made the dining experience so much better. Our server Sara (?) was great but I wish she had more help as she was the only one serving all the outdoor tables. I got the Honey Bourbon Glazed Salmon with orzo pasta salad and hubby got the Cajun Omelette. The salmon was perfectly cooked and that glaze, y'all?!!!! *chef's kiss* You just gotta try it! The Cajun Omelette was good as well, according to my husband. Right amount of meat and vegetables and again, was perfectly cooked. The pesto cheese bread was ok. I wish they had a different dip/sauce to go along with it, other than ranch. Pesto and ranch didn't really mix well for me. I can't wait till the next time we dine here again! read more

My husband and I decided to venture out on a Wednesday night for dinner. We were looking specifically for outdoor dining at an establishment that served steaks. We chose Oliver's as we had eaten here before at lunch, ordering some of the best sandwiches we have had in Macon. Unfortunately, their dining service is probably the worst of any restaurant we have been to in our year of living in town. Our waitress was dispassionate, disengaged, and contradicted herself many times. Oliver's made it very apparent they do not train their waitstaff. She also made a very uncomfortable and off-color remark regarding the fact I was breastfeeding my daughter, saying she was "getting the good stuff". When we sat down to order, my husband asked specifically if there was prime rib, she said no, but all of the cuts were done in-house. That they got the meat and butchered it there "to perfection". My husband ordered the ribeye, I ordered the shrimp scampi linguini, and we ordered an appetizer of bruschetta. We also ordered tomato bisque for our daughter who was with us, and this was the only item that arrived in a timely manner. Unfortunately, it was very underseasoned. We sat waiting for 20 minutes for our appetizer. I called our server as she was walking away from another table and asked how long we would continue to wait for it. Our server tells us, "Oh, a bunch of tickets wasnt printed. Our machine is messed up". I would have appreciated if she told us she had instead forgotten as she had too many outdoor tables to attend to, rather than make up a lie she said without any conviction. The appetizer finally comes 15 minutes after my asking, but it also came with the two entrees. This is not the correct order that food should be served. First soup, then app, then entrees. My husband's ribeye was lean. Ribeye is intended to be a fatty cut of meat, we know this as our oldest son is a professional butcher. My husband informs our waitress it is a very lean cut, too lean as it lacked any marbling, and she ARGUES with him reiterating multiple times that ribeyes are "supposed to be lean". My husband told her they absolutely weren't. Then she tells us that, "they come that way". My husband asked her, "I thought you said you cut every steak in the house?" She ended up walking off in response to this. My husband also made substitutions to his sides when we initially ordered and one was wrong. We then had to wait for the correct side to come. As far as the scampi, it tasted like it was seasoned with purely pasta water. There were no remnants of crab meat as advertised, there was no garlic, and had there been a lemon slice, it may have improved the dish, but there wasn't one on the plate. This dish completely missed the mark and was exceptionally bland. The bruschetta, which came at the same time as the appetizer, was cold, too hard to chew, lacked tomatoes (which is meant to be the heart of the dish), and the flavoring tasted like cheap maple syrup. After only a few bites of our food we were ready to leave but had to wait far too long for the bill to come to the table. We did not finish any of our plates. Instead, when diners at the table next to us saw our food and overheard the conversation between my husband and the waitress who argued with him, they left. We vocalized many times that we were unhappy with the service and the food. The waitress offered my husband $10 off of his steak but this should have been an instance where she looked to a higher team member to help de-escalate the situation, but instead, we paid the bill and left extremely disappointed and dissatisfied. We absolutely WILL not be coming here again. This experience told us that this is a restaurant that can only handle serving brunch and lunch. Oliver's was completely inept at serving dinner and I have already told my entire department at work just how horrible the service was. A truly, truly terrible dinner experience; from the service to the food, just absolutely terrible. read more

This place was great. My wife and I along with another couple sat outside. Place was busy, downtown was hopping but we had a great time and food was awesome. Our waitress Sheena was fantastic despite the fact we could tell she wasn't having a great night. I had Barramundi which was really good, don't see it offered much out. We will be back for sure. read more

We love Oliver's and visit about once a month. It has tasty food, creative cocktails, and the service is almost always great. The day before Thanksgiving the place was packed with local lawyers and businesses taking their staffs out for a nice holiday lunch, so it has the endorsement of the locals. You do need a reservation on the weekends, so book ahead if possible. read more

Food & service was very good! Got to enjoy lunch with my wife and under an hour. Great options for most any meal.

We at brunch here on a Sunday. They served us in outdoor seating per our request and the server wore a mask at all times. The food was amazing. We had the Cajun Omelette with a side of hash potatoes (delicious, not too spicy and cooked perfectly). The omelette was almost sharing size! Also, the superfood salad with shrimp cooked perfectly. Only drawback was a little slow on the service perhaps because we were seated outside? We were in no hurry anyway. read more
