We were in town for a funeral and brought a large party (15) in without reservations or advance notice. My brother had eaten here the night before and couldn't stop bragging about this place. Ollie's was able to seat us after a short wait. I forgot our server's name, but she was fantastic. We had a variety of food and everyone love it. Great atmosphere too. A few people left before we got our picture. Our server is pictured in the lower right of the photo. Thank you Ollie's for helping us forgot our sorrow and enjoy a great meal with our family.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

In town for work and some locals referred us here. I asked, “what is the Pork Claw?” She said it’s like a tomahawk steak, but pork. $22 while they last. So I ordered it. OMG… the hugest pork chop/pork shoulder I’ve ever seen. Perfectly cooked. Amazing flavor both in the dry rub bark and side of BBQ sauce. Beware…. It’s a legit hunk of meat smoked and grilled… still has all the fat, so you have to cut and trim to your liking. Bottom line… I took about 3 lbs of pork in a to go tin foil quarter pan. AMAZING!!!! Oh… and the rest of the place was great too! Good folks, great service. It’s a gem!

Loaded nachos for the appetizer, is a win! The bbq chicken flatbread was a good choice as well! The hubby got the platter and ate on it for lunch the next day. You get plenty for a great price! And it tastes really good!! Kat (our waitress) was hit and miss. She brought drinks and to go boxes and was super nice but she never once cleared any dirty dish from our table.
