We're regular customers of the Green Olive. The food is very good (deliscious French Toast) and the staff is very nice
I know I've said it before. Green Olive is always a great experience. It's our local 'go to' diner!
This is one of our favorite resturants. We try to go there almost every Sunday morning for breakfast. I'd recommend it to anyone who asks.

Love the Gluten Free Food. They have amazing Gluten Free Eggplant with a huge GF menu
We ordered breakfast for dinner -- mine was a short stack of banana pancakes, and my daughter's was bacon, eggs, homefries and toast. Everything was delicious!
Very good service. Food (prime rib) tasty & generous portions. Pleasant atmosphere. Would come back again.
Always a great meal. Good selection on the menu. Much prefer it over your 'normal' diner.

Found the waitresses to be kind of loud in the conversations with each other.
The service and food are always consistently good.
My pork was so over cooked it was difficult to eat & the gravy was thick, lumpy & had a funny taste. Salad & mashed potatoes were good. Broccoli was so so.
Was very slow for dinner time & wait staff seemed more interested in going home than waiting on tables!
Unusually slow service on this day. Only three or four parties in the place, and two servers, but took forever to get a simple dinner order.
It was very good. Super busy but the server was attentive and accurate. We had breakfast and the food was very good. We looked over the daily dinner specials and will be going back!
Waitress was nice and food served in a timely manner
friendly waitress, good food, didnt feel rushed to leave after the meal
They were pretty busy with limited staff as it was a holiday with many people off from work. After a short wait, our order was taken and the food came out hot and it was very good.
Undercooked food
local diner where the coffee cup is always full, just the way my husband likes it!
Good food a good value Friendly and quick service

gREAT FOOD, VERY NICE WAITRESS
food was very fresh and tasty, waitress was very friendly
the food was served quickly, the meals were hot, and delicious.
Took a bit long to get of bill.
Pancakes were O.K. as were the eggs.The turkey sausage was awful...dry, tasteless, and wrinkled from being overcooked...tasted like cardboard. The bacon looked like imitation bacon..and ham was fair. No, won't be back unless I am eating eggs, toast..maybe pancakes.
The service was good and the food came out quickly even considering they were busy.
Good food. Good service. Friendly waitress
Great food and service - very nice waitstaff!
Great selection of food good size portions Friendly employees
I had the philly steak omelette but found it to be a bit dry...not particularly flavorful.
waitress tried to rip us off because we used the Restaurant.com certificate. Our breakfasts cost $4.99 each. We needed to order $10 worth in order to use the coupon so I ordered a corn muffin. When my husband brought back the paid receipt, she charged us for coffee even though it's included in the price of the $4.99 breakfast. She said she had to do that because we didn't spend $10 and I had to argue that indeed we did and that is why I specifically ordered the muffin, to make sure we went over $10. She also only subtracted $4.70 from the bill instead of $5.00 stating that the $0.30 was taken off the tax. I don't know about that, but the bottom line is, she ripped us off. She got mad and slammed some $1 bills in my hand and said "see you next time". There will be no next time.
Delicious food. Generous servings. Great service.
The menu always has variety & the food is always good! Generous portions!
The staff is pleasant and attentive.
Waitress was not very nice. We had to ask for refills and she never came and asked how our meals were.
Good food and excellent service
Very short staffed. Waitresses were running ragged.
Great, friendly service and food excellent.
We always enjoy this place. Great food and service and atmosphere.
the service and food was great
The meat was terrible. I had breakfast that included sausage, ham, bacon...one piece each. The ham and sausage was awful..didn't eat it. The bacon was O.K. Pancake good. Scrambled egg O.K.
Comfortable, clean diner. Large menu.
The food was quite good and the prices were resonable. The pancakes were excellent!!
Great food, great service, very relaxing
The waiters greeted us zealously and served the food professionally. The food was great. My family enjoyed the night there.
Great Food
Our waiter Jasmine was wonderful.
Service was great and food was very good
We love the lunch specials and the soup is a nice addition included.
Great food, great wait staff, very fast food!
The pizza we ordered was very good. I especially liked the sauce.
Very friendly staff and the food was excellent.
Crystal, our waitress, was very friendly and didn't miss a beat! I was dining with my 3 kids and she was great. Food was excellent. Quick service.
Do not use the mobile app. Bring a print out. They redeemed the certificate and didn't have the number to call and the certificate was lost and unused.
We went for breakfast and the food was delicious. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive.
Arrived with a 5 p.m. reservation (in place for one week) to be told the dining from closes at 5p.m. Was advance notice not possible?
I meet a friend every week.The wait staff never rushes us and is very friendly. The food is perfect every time. Great diner food.
Excellent food... clean and tasty!
Great place, large portions, very friendly staff.
Very nice diner. We enjoyed our meal very much. We both had the Philly steak sandwich. Lot of food, took half my sandwich home to my son. It was delicious! Would go back again.
We had great meals, great service.
The bartender was very nice and very welcoming. Thank you for that.
We love Bell's Mansion. Only wish that they could continue to offer more coupons again.Thanks. Barbara Noffke
Excellent service great food
plenty of food and good. Enough to share
plenty of food and good tasting. Enough to share.
we ordered the delux burger platters-- and did not get the coleslaw and pickles that were supposed to come with the platter... we did get it to go after we called it to the wait staffs attention. Did not like how the tip was added to the bill without explaination- until we asked and hen we were told that they "get ripped off on tips" so they add it in-- well she was ripping herself off becuase we are usually very generous tippers.
We ordered scallops and they were rubbery and tasted of Iodine.. not all fresh!They took them back and we ordered sandwiches. The only gluten free bread they have is sliced.. no rolls.
My son and I were seated quickly and served promptly. It was Father's Day and the restaurant was busy, but there were plenty of servers and bussers keeping everything flowing smoothly. The food was great. I am looking forward to going there again for lunch or dinner.
good food with reasonable prices
Food was very good and good size portions.Note: Wrong address was on the Restaurant.com certificate. Had to call the restaurant for directins.
Our waitress was extremely pleasant and very attentive.
The food was good and the service was very good. If the prices weren't so expensive, we would go more often.
Great fried chicken ,and wonderful server!
food was good- thought shrimp were kind of small for the baked stuffed- the veg soup was delicious.
We go to this restaurant about once a month. Usually for breakfast. I purchased the gift cert with intentions to try them at lunch. We have always had great service and food. However, I was turned off when I tried to use this gift cert. I gave it to them ahead of time like the cert required. I went to pay the bill and had to remind them to take off the certificate amount and was given an odd look. They put me off to someone else like it was trouble. I left a tip on the table based off the total amount amount prior to the discount and I guess the waitress did not see it. She followed us to the cashier and came right out and said the tip is $5.00. When I reminded them to take off the cert amount I was asked, haven't I been to their restaurant before? As if the certificate was only for new customers. If they are going to solicit though these venues they should be willing to honor the certifcates without making their customers feel awkward for using them. Honestly, I don't think I will go back there now even if the food is good.
very good service,good food,our waitress very professional
The food is excellent and the portions are big.
Very clean. Great homemade soup. Food was terrific. Server was a "sweetie".
Have a problem eating with jacket on a little heat would be nice !!! No one that was dining had their jackets offWhen I mentioned it to the waitress she said " oh he never turns the heat on" when we left I did say see you in June .
Was disappointed when told that alcohol drinks were not included as part of the total against the $37 minimum that had to be spent. NOWHERE on the certificate does it say that.
Good food, good portions, good service. Will keep coming back
The service was excellent, fast and very friendly. The food was good and a nice amount for the price
We LOVE this Diner! We tell all our friends about it! The food is fresh, delicious and the DINER is clean!
our waitress brought a warm beverages and one napkin. she seemed new but everything else was excellent
Has the best gluten free pizza
WE handed are coupon before ordering and were told we could not use it for lunch. That was not on the coupon. It said could not use it for breakfast. You need to change those instructions. they finally did honor it but said it would not happen again.
we had a great time - wonderful menu options for both kids and adults. Staff was very friendly
Every dish was excellent but 1. It was a seafood dish overcooked. But we enjoyed every other dish. he service was also excellent.
Prime rib was not up to par, but ginger chicken was excellent! The waitress found me a nice red rose wine, which was perfect.
nice little diner for a family meal
The menu is enormous, so many choices. Everything was great. Tough to make a decision. We Would definitly go back again.
The food was luke warm when served to us, but the waitress was very friendly and accommodating. We would be willing to try them again because the restaurant always seems to be very busy.
Best gluten free pizza I have had - tastes and looks like pizza - not what most places pass as pizza (gluten free). Highly recommend that pizza.
big portions great prices
one of our meals was prepared incorrectly but they quickly replaced it. Very nice and polite staff. We would definitely eat there again.
Also so sign noting they serve gluten free pizza and pasta dishes..
good food
food was ok had better and had worse
Would like fewer restrictions on coupons. I work evenings during the week. The coupon is for dinner only, excluding weekends.
