Olive Tree Cafe and Catering 333 2nd Avenue Southwest, South Charleston, WV 25303

"Good dining experience, great service, and decent atmosphere. We ate there before 4, so we couldn’t get the great sounding after 4 items. We will return in the near future at dinner time, we really want to try some of the stuff we couldn’t get earlier in the day. Stuffed grape leaves - extremely tasty, really enjoyed them. Pierogies - very good, we both liked them. Make sure you dip them in the seasoning that falls off in the dish they come in, makes them even better. Olive Tree Shwarma - mediocre, meat doesn’t resemble shwarma and is rather flavorless in comparison to real shwarma (I’ve had them in Amman, Jordan for a reference point as to what is great). The other components of the shwarma were good. The Legit Reuben - decent, far from the best we’ve had (Oak Barrel in Little Orleans, MD). Bread was terrific, extremely great amount of meat, sauerkraut was bland and nearly flavorless, and russian dressing was runny and not very flavorful. Bread on bottom of sandwich was a soggy mess. Pasta salad - loved it. Simple, but refreshing and tasty. Cucumber and tomato salad - lacking flavor, best guess is we got it one day after best used by to be enjoyable. It all had the same meh taste, it all just tasted the same. Onion and cucumber, no difference in the salad. Baklava - love that they make it in house, but we weren’t fans. Great price for the food and service."

"Probably the best lobster roll I've ever had. LOT'S of meat, the bread was proportional, and the flavor was delicious! I would get this again and again."

"Our hotel recommended Olive Tree. You can dine inside or in the heated patio area where dogs are allowed. We choose inside. The atmosphere is pleasant with nice decor. They appear to do a lot of carry out business as well. My husband decided to have the special which was the lobster roll and also a cup of the New England clam chowder. He was very satisfied with the taste of everything. I tried the 7” (smaller) Philly cheesesteak. It was tender sliced ribeye with provolone and cheese sauce with grilled onions on an Italian roll. Very tasty! We took a carry out of the baklava cheesecake, which came with two scoops of ice cream as well and split it when we got back to the hotel I wasn’t that impressed with the cheesecake. They do specialize in Mediterranean cuisine which we will try next week when we are back in the area."

"I really hate 5 star reviews, because they often seem fake, but I find no fault in our visit today. Great ambience, complete with very well done Christmas decorations, friendly staff, great selection, and awesome food. Hard to top an experience like that."

"Better than what I had in Maine lobster roll. Take-out order ready in 15 minutes. Super-easy to pick up and pay. This is a special item; call ahead to see if they have it. Even if they don’t—you’re not going to go wrong with any of the dishes they serve. Highly recommend!"
