    Fun silverware
    Laura T.

    This place was wonderful! They have a very extensive menu with a full vegan mine and tons of gluten free fishes. My sister has celiac disease and was thrilled to have so much to pick from. We had onion rings, cheese curds, fish and chips, peanut Thai pasta and it was all GF and delish! We also have an autistic child in our family and was touched to see they had headsets and special toys for those kids. The decor was fun and had an overall great vibe. Will definitely be back!

    The food was delicious, severs were attentive and I was checked on me. Ambience was awesome as well. Love the music.

    Pesto pasta
    Sara E.

    Great place for dietary restrictions including vegetarian, vegan, gluten free. A very accommodating restaurant. They include a 20% service fee in your bill so no need to tip extra unless you have an experience that you feel deserves more. This is good and bad. I've been a handful of times and the service has been ok but I feel it's a little less service oriented than places I've been that don't include tips. The pesto pasta is great and a nice large portion that I had left overs. I will say the prices are a bit high and almost everything is an extra. My pasta dish was $15 and it was $4 to add chicken. My coworkers got the pad Thai and indicated it was extremely salty. The deep dish pizzas looked like a great choice. One of my coworkers had it and wasn't disappointed. Probably the best option for the cost. I'd love to check out a happy hour too. Some sides like her secured are only $4.

    Birria tacos on a warm night
    Olin E.

    We went to Ollie's for dinner and Friday Happy Hour and this was one of my favorite date nights I've had in years! The food was incredible: we shared the Mulligatawny (which I had never had but was so good), and the deviled eggs as apps. And then the meals were homemade gyros and birria. I know, what an eclectic mix but that's what was fun about it!! But the fun had just begun.... After dinner we stayed at the bar for Happy Hour where Chef Dave spreads his immense knowledge about spirits and mixology- and it was one of the most informative and fun experiences I've had in a while. You pick a flavor profile or a feeling/emotion and he'll build a drink around that for you, and the whole bar gets to try it!! Such a unique experience and I will absolutely be back.

    Lovin the rainbow vibes
    Angela S.

    Love the pride/rainbow vibe! And walls of liquor behind the bar and side. Awesome outdoor patio space but not so shaded on a warm, summer day. I really enjoyed the happy hour specials!!! $4 for an old fashioned? Yes please! I'll take two! Loved that cheese curds, fries and other options were also $4 (smaller but honest portions). Service was a little slow to start, I waited for quite a.bit before I was noticed at the bar, even as three servers were behind the bar at separate times. Overall-- I'd come here again for the happy hour specials.

    Caprese Pizza
    Kayley R.

    Ollie's is a super cute Fitchburg staple! I only gave three stars because I was not extremely impressed with my food but the environment and the service is very calm and friendly. I got the Caprese style Pizza and Truffle Fries. Both were quite good, but not anything out of the ordinary. I have had and loved their Endive Salad before. I could this being a great causal dining experience if they had some more unique dishes. I also know this is a great place to go for people with dietary restrictions.

    Vegan double patty long unpronounceable name, burger
    Yolanda G.

    We have heard great reviews on this place, but had never been until last night. The ambience is super inviting to all. They are so considerate to have items for kids with special needs. Very LGBTQ friendly. They do have a kids menu now with limited selections. However, the main menu has many different selections that are kid friendly as well. My husband is allergic to dairy and gluten sensitive. He was able to have many choices on what to eat, which is usually Quite opposite anywhere else. He had the gyro on a gluten-free pita with vegan tzatziki sauce. He said it was fantastic. I had unpronounceable vegan hamburger with a special sauce. When I saw that I was expecting more of 1000 island type of sauce. It was very mustard forward. It was good, but not what I was expecting. They offer different varieties of pizza. However, the pizza only comes in one size and they are all deep dish. It would be great if they could offer regular pizzas. The Mediterranean platter was fantastic! We loved having our olives, hummus, falafel, and pickled red onions! Our cocktails were delicious, we got getting caught in the rain. It was very sweet and felt like a drink you would have on a beach. Great place for groups and families. The service was great in fact they were incredibly attentive. I'm actually shocked at the low ratings for slow service. We did not experience that at all. Great service all around.

    I like the butterfly decor inside the restaurant
    Kevin C.

    Their atmosphere is very LGBTQ+ friendly with lots of rainbows. I also like the butterfly artwork. The food is wonderful. I'd recommend their pizza. The Deviled Eggs are salty, but I like them. There cheese curds are also really good. The rainbow drink is a pick your favorite flavor situation, and are delicious. This place is worth checking out.

Was it spectacular? No, but it did satisfy, considering I had eaten breakfast earlier in the day when I had a chance. Still, there wasn't really anything special about it besides probably being an affront to a Chicago native with the added mushrooms, onions, and cheese. They at least served it with a side of hot giardiniera. Still though, it was a standard Italian beef sandwich from a standard restaurant serving an American menu. Service and ambiance was good, though, I suppose it should've been considering it was a Sunday afternoon, and it wasn't like the place was packed. Would I go back? Sure I don't think I'd have a problem visiting again. But it is it anything special? No. It's pretty much typical of a middle-of-the-road American restaurant you can find all over the Madison metro area. Not great, not bad, but will do in a pinch, especially if you're in a group of less adventurous eaters.

I got the wings appetizer which was decent (good bbq sauce), and had the bbq brisket sandwich (pretty good) with a side of fries (again pretty good). Portion sizes were okay. Like it was all pretty good, but I really wish it super excelled in one of those categories to justify the prices to me. I probably could have just gotten away with chicken instead of brisket.

We made a 12:00 PM reservation, which was definitely necessary because the place was full. Right off the bat, our server asked if anyone had food allergies or dietary restrictions. When I mentioned I have celiac disease, he confidently assured me they could absolutely accommodate it, which immediately gave me peace of mind. I ordered a strawberry spritz and we shared the gluten-free donuts to start. A huge win for the celiac community is that they have a dedicated fryer, so we also safely shared the truffle fries. For our main entrees, I had the fried rice which was excellent. My husband ordered the skirt steak hash with gluten-free toast and loved it, though it is worth noting for others that it packs quite a lot of spice. Our server was incredibly knowledgeable and attentive regarding the allergy protocols. The overall service ran a little slow, but it was understandable given how slammed they were for the Sunday rush. As an added bonus, the restaurant has its own parking lot, making the logistics seamless. We will definitely be back and highly recommend this spot, especially fellow celiacs looking for a safe and delicious meal!

Since it was nice outside we opted to eat on the small patio which was nice. Our server was was very good and kept things moving. It was happy hour so we ordered two of their spritzes which were $6 each - they were both good (strawberry/ limoncello). Appetizers were supposedly $10 each during happy hour - we got the tempura veggies which were very good. We also got the chicken wings which we later found out when we got the bill that they were not considered to be an appetizer covered by the happy hour pricing (they should make this clearer on the menu.) The wings themselves were good but six wings for $18 was a ripoff. I get it that inflation is high but that is ridiculous... My wife got the fried chicken sandwich which was very dry. This was the same result last time we were here - I guess we should have read our review and avoided it. Overall it was just an OK experience - disappointing.

The restaurant was beautiful and the service was amazing. I appreciated that our waitress was very knowledgeable about the dishes on the menu and what ingredients they contained, which is perfect for anyone with allergies or dietary restrictions (like myself). We were seated near the open kitchen which also added to the dining experience. I tried: - Scallop toast - I really enjoyed this. It was mild, not fishy tasting at all, and the brioche was toasted very well. I'm not a huge seafood person aside from sushi and poke, and had never had scallops before, so I was not expecting to like it as much as I did. - Ricotta Raviolini - I was not a huge fan of this, which was especially disappoint since it was my main entree / the most expensive on this list. It was essentially a folded sheet of pasta with a tiny bit of ricotta, topped with barely cooked asparagus and snap peas. The menu also lists lemon infused olive oil, but I didn't taste that at all. The parts of the raviolini with a good amount of ricotta were delicious, but the dish overall was bland and tasted like raw asparagus and peas. My friends also tried it and none of them liked it either. - Baked Potato with The Works - super simple and perfectly executed. It comes with bacon, which we got on the side since I don't eat red meat. Potato was fluffy and salted perfectly, with a good amount of other toppings. My friends who do eat bacon said it tasted more like ham than bacon, and they actually preferred the potato without it. - Dark Chocolate Bread Pudding - Loved it. I love bread pudding and chocolate pudding, but never thought to combine the two. It was delicious - soft, not super sweet, and great portion size. I would recommend sharing, it's pretty rich which can be overwhelming at a certain point. - Flightless Bird mocktail - this was one of the best mocktails I've tried. It has a black tea base but tasted more like a regular cocktail without the alcohol burn rather than tea. Everyone at the table enjoyed trying it too. Despite the raviolini being a miss, the rest of the food, service, and ambiance made this such a wonderful dining experience that I can't wait to come back and try more.

I wasn't that hungry so opted for the biscuits and the poblano risotto. The chef doesn't hold back on the flavor-bold, spicy, intense. The biscuits were dipped in a smoked chili butter and honey-best eaten with a fork. The risotto was well prepared although a little soupy. Again, big bold flavors.
