Love this chain. I haven't had a bad experience yet at any of the 4 locations I've been to. The food is always fresh and good. They seem to be family run as the servers are amazing. This location especially. Great service and attitude. The restaurant is always clean and neat. We have a Red Olive choice in every direction from where we live. read more

Wonderful experience! My family came here for dinner and ordered entrees from the Greek section. They came with a soup or salad and Greek bread. The young waiter was very nice answering our questions and providing veggie and preparation suggestions for the dishes we ordered. The soups were delicious and not overly salty and the portions were large as we all had leftovers. The ambiance is no frills: seat yourself, booths and tables, and no music (I appreciate this, we could have a conversation and hear each other) read more

My first time trying a crepe. Wow! It was light and fluffy filled with strawberries and berries, topped with whipped cream. I raved about their fish snd chips as I'm not a breakfast person but so glad I was today. Our server, Jihad, was so friendly and fast with our order. Checkout person very welcoming. Such a friendly staff makes it feel homey. The restaurant was very clean. Atmosphere relaxing. Will definitely return. read more

The food here is really good, I had breakfast and had the Biscuits & Gravy with a side of hash browns. The biscuit was soft, warm and just melted in my mouth and the gravy was very delicious and the hash browns were crispy. The service was very fast and I just loved everything about this place, I have never heard of this restaurant before so I wanted to try it out and I really liked it. It wasn't that crowded either and we were seated right away. read more

Food, service, and staff were very good. I am a fan and will be visiting them again soon.

Jan 10 th Something got flushed down the toilet and backed up the pipes. The restaurant had dirty sewage water overflowing the drains in the kitchen all day. The cooks were standing in dirty, smelly water while making food and the wait staff was still serving guests. John the owner, never closed the restaurant. He was there and allowed the restaurant to stay open. He had staff slipping around in dirty, smelly water all day. Employees were slipping and falling all day. He didn't care about anything but staying open to make money. Your health and cleanliness was not a concern to him. All menu prices are wrong and guests are charged more than what they are initially expected. None of the prices are up to date. read more

This was a big disappointment should be a crime to serve someone not one but 2 day a old Burt gyros like some one has the time to pay for your garbage that you should have thrown away or fed to the dogs, but you decided to give it to a customer you spent it hard on money looking for something is good and it turned out to be trash. How dare you? This is how you treat your customers really well shame on you read more

I go here every Sunday with my family, and I find the place to be excellent. Great food and normal prices. I definitely recommend eating here. read more

They have a fantastic chopped salad that I find myself thinking about often, Pete's chopped salad. It has so many wonder flavors: feta cheese, diced celery and beets, Kalamata olives, red onion, fresh dill, and cucumbers. You can add chicken if you'd like, which is seasoned with an amazing marinade. Topped with their freshly made Greek dressing and a warm pita on the side, that's a great meal. You could definitely share with 1-2 more people the portion is so generous. The baklava cheesecake is also amazing and delicious I highly recommend both! read more

food is good. did not read the notes on my order. and grub hub didn't pay attention to it either. as a result my food sat in the cold for 20 minutes. sad when i put a $7 tip on a $12 meal. read more

Red Olive, I originally found this place online because I was looking for a gluten friendly restaurant in the area. Located in the same strip center as Kroger and Dollar Tree. Red Olive is a nice dive. The food is priced just right and it actually tastes great. Every time I come in I get the Gluten-Free pancakes with scrambled eggs. The pancakes taste fluffy and must have a hint of cinnamon in there. I personally like them and for just around $11 for both, I think it's a fair price for breakfast. This place has plenty of other options to choose from such as Gryo's, *Opa, salad, sandwiches, etc. plenty of parking, great location, the inside of restaurant is warm inside with dark brown chocolate wooden tables and seats. Check this place out if you're in town! read more

We popped out of the office for a quick and healthy lunch. My friend suggested this restaurant since we were both going the salad route and this place has a nice selection. In fact, an entire page of the menu was devoted to salads: Greek, Cobb, Fattoush, Caesar's, and Chef's. As well, there were specialty salads like Waldorf's and Taco. I went with a grilled chicken salad that included avocado and mango. It was colorful, flavorful, and most important, healthy. In addition to salads, the restaurant is a typical Coney Island diner, with all-day breakfasts, burgers and deli sandwiches, and tempting Middle Eastern specialties (saganaki, tzatziki, falafel, and stuffed grape leaves). In fact, during lunch, a loud "opa" sounded from a neighboring table when the saganaki app was served. The restaurant is located in a strip mall and appeared to be fairly popular. In fact, we ran into another friend and opted to eat with him, despite the fact that he was halfway through his meal. Hopefully, we did not hold him up too much, as we caught up with work. Our server was amiable; she engaged with young children at a nearby table. She also thoughtfully provided us with our checks early but encouraged us to stay as long as we needed to, exactly how I would have wanted to be treated. read more

I went to get Saganaki opa cheese it was really good. I also ordered a Chicken Quesadilla it's good but very dry not hot just luke warm a bit of a turn off. Don't get me wrong it wasn't bad I only ate a small piece I boxed the rest to take home. I'll pop it in the air fryer it'll be fine. I knew I would get full from the Saganaki but I also knew I would want more food so I didn't want to order my usual which is the Cod fish dinner which is awesome but comes with a lot of extras that was too much for me. The place is clean they aren't wearing mask though so beware if that's an issue for you. My waitress was friendly and attentive great visit I'll be back! read more

Skillet - Asked no mushrooms , had mushrooms in it. Returned, they put it back on griddle and dug out the mushrooms & burnt the old cheese. Still found diced mushrooms . On the handle is the burnt cheese. Final outcome returned didn't reorder the cook had the nerve to say he remade it fresh. You can clearly see it was not remade fresh. Waitress was amazing only reason for 2 stars! read more

My favorite go-to place for breakfast in all of Dearborn (and the Heights). Every time that we visit, the staff are friendly, familiar faces. They have high quality ingredients, and excellent prices. While they are masters of breakfast, they also knock out some Mediterranean favorites and a plethora of delicious salad options. Seriously... many well thought-out salads. They have their act together, 100%. You can expect to be treated well here. read more

Skip this place . Cheap AF. First they have 2 businesses running out of this address. Bed head and red olive. Had I known it was like that and coming from Dearborn I wouldn't have ordered. I ordered a hangover bowl. And all that was in it was eggs and hashbrowns. No meat. No cheese. Shady business.... I don't and won't recommend this place to anyone. Very bland taste. Do Not Order read more

Awful service ordered a lil late but got my food and it wasn't right tried calling the. Worker answered and said hold plz only to be hung up on then decided to drive up there to see if I could get them to remake my food only to them to be closed and two Cooks in the back we're picking their heads out of the kitchen like little children instead of remaking my food needless to say I'll be back in the morning to get my money worst experience I've ever had at a restaurant read more

I ordered the fried chicken caesars wrap it was so delicious. Will be back today to get another one.

Don't EVER eat here. This is what was crawling around in our food it appears to be a cockroach or beetle of some sort. Absolutely disgusting. The waitress didn't want to do anything about it. Basically shrugged her shoulders and all she said was "there's two of us running the restaurant and I don't have time to call the manager". Finally after reporting to the waitress that I would be calling the health department she then stated she would call the manager. She was told to zero out our bill but did not seem concerned regarding the issue at hand. read more

Ordered carry out - Greek Salad, Soup, Patty Melt and a Diet Coke. 1. Didn't get my Greek dressing 2. No spoons for soup 3. No dressing for the Patty Melt 4. The pop was warm and flat Called the restaurant no manager on duty. Asked to be refunded as I now have to eat my salad with no dressing and throw away my beverage and the person who answered was not authorized to do so. She never asked my name to call me back when manager was there. Poor customer service. No one can go inside restaurants; carry out is all we have now and service should be better. read more

Been here many times simply due to convenience of location. Food and service are okay, not great, not horrible. Cleanliness is not great, not horrible. read more

Clean place, good portions and very good service!!! A little bit on the coney style restaurant. Today we had the spinach pie with rice and vegetables And the meat gyro with Greek salad. Also rice pudding as dessert. For the most part I like it. Tasty food, good portion and kind of fast to tell you the truth. Service was good, I asked questions and the server answer with knowledge and recommendations, on the down side the salad was made with iceberg lettuce, which is not a big deal but it would have been better if it was made with romaine or the Boston type. The rice pudding is made in house ( I asked) and I likedit!!! It was my first time, but it won't be the last I can honestly recommend this place read more

Solid local place to visit. Nothing amazing, nothing horrible. Friendly service and great prices. My husband enjoyed his burger and fries, and I made my own chili cheese fries with hamburger. No bun needed. Waitress was friendly, prompt, kept the water and soda refilled and had a great sense of humor. We will return. read more

Took my daughter and her friend here for the first time a couple of weeks ago. Both her friend and myself wanted the chicken Caesar wrap, but asked if the chicken could be fried. Note: they also serve a fried chicken wrap (with ranch, not Caesar). The waitress said they could and that was that. When the bill comes, there is an additional $4.00 "open food charge". When I asked what that was, the waitress said it was to fry the chicken. So, they essentially charged $2 a sandwich to substitute chicken for chicken. Had the waitress actually told me it would be $2 more, I would have just ordered the fried chicken wrap in the first place and saved myself money. I thought it was very shady that the upgrade wasn't disclosed at the time of ordering. On the plus side, the wrap was delicious. So, I'm $4 short, but 100% wiser. Don't know if I'll come back to this location. read more

Well, the Snicker Bar Cake is pretty good. Once I found out this "family restaurant" is a diner (is this the code name used in Michigan?), I adjusted expectation accordingly. With a menu that is literally a book, I asked the wait staff for her recommendation of what's different and unique in a Michigan diner, she said this place is known for salads and Greek food. The dish Greek combo came with a bowl of soup, it was very salty like the chef forgot to dilute soup concentrate salty. Moussaka and Pastitsio could use some nutmeg in the Béchamel sauce, as it is a bit bland. Gyro meat is the processed ground-and-molded kind, like the ones you get at most US gyro shacks. As a diner, I wonder how this would rank against other diners. Greek food is meh. read more

The food is just meh. The menu is extensive and they present you with a book to order from with hundreds of choices. I've been there twice and have experienced cheaply prepared food a felt kind of ripped off. The saganaki is a complete rip off. I was really hoping for delicious homemade items and ended up with GFS garbage. The dining room smelled like cigarette smoke. I notified two members of the waitstaff and was quickly dismissed so I went to the front desk. I spoke to who I assumed was the owner. He tried dismissing me but then quickly blamed one of the other patrons for smoking in the bathroom on occasion but then did nothing. It really smelled like someone was smoking in the kitchen. Needless to say, I won't be back anytime soon. read more

We really enjoy coming to the Red Olive in Dearborn it is such a courteous staff and very welcoming just like at home. The food is always on perfect! Thank you John & Hani Keep up the good work! read more

Stepped in here for a breakfast on a Saturday morning. The place was a little busy but we were able to find one of 2 tables left. The server was attentive and kept the drinks filled. The bathroom was OK for an adult but not clean enough for a kid to use, so we went elsewhere for the bathroom. I wish family restaurants had family restrooms in addition to their standard 2. Food wise we had the kids pancake which was shaped like Mickey Mouse. It came with sausage or bacon of which you could sub Turkey Sausage or even sliced tomatoes we choose the sliced tomatoes. You could a so get whipped cream or sprinkles on the pancake. The server recommend the Red Olive Omelette as it was a popular item on ther menu. It comes with Avocado, fresh spinach, mushrooms, tomatoes and feta cheese. The omlette is filling and although it's a big omlette it's not the largest I've seen at this restaurant. Overall this is a great restaurant it has a huge menu and a variety of food for breakfast, lunch and dinner that would satisfy many tastes. read more

Haley is fabulous took great care of us. Greek salad was top notch. We will be back. This is the new go to lunch spot

I've eaten here a few times, and every time has been just phenomenal. Every dish I've ordered whether it be a burger and fries, a chicken and cheese wrap, a simple soup and salad, they've all had quite a taste to them. It's not your average bland diner. However I don't think they recognize the fact that they are indeed a diner. A bit pricey, the chicken wrap and burger were at a price where you'd think it included fries or chips. Unfortunately that was not the case, a la carte if you will. I don't think a simple diner/coney meal for one person should be $15-$17, depending on tip. Stil, the food keeps me coming back. read more

I was surprised by how large the menu here was...it took a very long time to decide what to eat. I thought it was just a standard coney but it's a coney plus middle-eastern place with a decent american food menu too. I just ordered a chicken cesar wrap & some onion rings & both were good. The wrap was big, I made 2 meals out of it so that's always a plus. My friend ordered steak & shrimp & said it was pretty good for a diner. I'd eat here again though I still prefer Holiday Grill across the street which we forgot closes at 8 on Sunday & that's why we ate at Red Olive to begin with. We ordered 2 slices of pies for dessert to take home...I had the peanut butter pie which was VERY yummy & so rich I ate that for 2 days. My friend had the chocolate lover pie & raved about how good it was. The decor in the restaurant was nice & it was clean, the service was quick & our server was very friendly. I felt terribly that we were only able to leave a $3 tip & our bill was over $40 which I thought was pretty high for a diner & we only had $45 on us. Normally we are much better tippers...I dug every quarter I had out of my purse too but we had planned on eating at Holiday & they are quite a bit cheaper but don't have as good dessert (which is probably why, ha ha). read more
