    My new favorite restaurant!! It's close to home. It's clean and the staff are very friendly. The cherry on top is the food! Everything I have ordered has been great! Sorry, I have to remember to take pictures of my plate. I had meatloaf/gravy and potato and fresh string beans.

    2-3-25 was the first time at this restaurant. The food was amazing. The young lady that served my mom and I was very attentive and friendly. The prices was more than reasonable. Stop in and check it out for yourself. If I could give more than stars I would!

    This was my first time at Red Olive Ferndale. I was meeting my siblings for lunch and we wanted the intimacy of a coney but with better quality food. The restaurant was a warm and welcoming atmosphere and staff seemed happy which I believe is crucial to a successful dinning experience. Our server Shannon (I think her name was) was attentive, timely, and accommodating. The woman I assume was the manager was very involved and had the best vibe! We will be back!
