The Olive Tree Diner

This place was recommended to me by a friend who couldn't say enough good things! I had to try it. My mom and I stopped in today around 2pm, which is a strange time for lunch, so we were the only ones there. The waiter was extremely friendly and attentive! He offered us recommendations from the menu with thorough detail. Our food didn't take too long, and everything was hot and freshly made. I had the Mushroom, Fried Onion, & Gruyère burger, cooked medium. The cook was absolutely perfect. The fried onions are very clearly breaded in house and SO good. Honestly the star of the show! I loved the burger but fair warning, it will get a bit messy. The French fries are some of the best I've had. My mom had the Chicken Souvlaki plate and as you can see from the attached photo, the presentation was just beautiful. It was delicious as well! The ambiance inside is so nice, with a pretty view of the golf course through the windows and a gorgeous fireplace in the center of the room. The breakfast menu was so intriguing, I'm already planning to come back this weekend for brunch!

Great location with plenty of parking, right off HWY 64! Each time I have been for breakfast, the location has been very clean, great service, and food has been on point. The grits are extremely good but I would say they are more like dinner grits. Am I the only person that thinks breakfast grits and dinner grits are different? With that being said, they have great flavor and you cannot go wrong here. I look forward to trying dinner here soon.

We were headed through Mocksville and took the opportunity to stop in at the newly opened Olive Tree Restaurant. Our understanding is this location is affiliated with the Olive Tree in Winston.We weren't quite sure what to expect since we knew it was located at a golf course. Neither my wife or I are golfers so we were a bit apprehensive. Colin Creek Golf Club is located on the outskirts of Mocksville and we enjoyed the drive. The parking lot is easy to navigate and the restaurant is visible from the main entrance. The trees lining the driveway and parking area are big and beautiful, it felt very charming on a spring morning.We snapped a few pictures and headed in. We were immediately greeted by two young ladies at the hostess stand. One of the young ladies took us to a table and provided us menus, we also quickly looked at the specials board.Lendis stopped in and welcomed us and also took our drink orders. We began to look over the menu and since we arrived about 10:30am we were offered both breakfast and lunch menus. Everything on both menus sounded delicious and we thought the prices were very reasonable.We both decided to order the Breakfast Steam Engine (smoked ham, turkey & applewood smoked bacon with scrambled egg, Gruyère cheese & honey mustard on griddled brioche Texas toast). We both ordered the Honey mustard on the side and my wife asked for hers to be served on a biscuit while I kept the Texas toast. I also ordered a side of hashbrowns while my wife chose a side of bacon.The interior is warm and inviting and we noticed a few things including a 100% sanitation score, a full bar and it appears they are preparing an outdoor covered patio space. Lendis told us they opened in January and are open every day except for Tuesday's. Our Breakfast Steam Engines arrived in a timely manner and looked yummy. We both dug in and thought they were very tasty. Lendis also stopped in numerous times to check in on us and we felt very well taken care of.We both agreed it was a great stop and we are anxious to make our way back out for lunch and dinner as well. We highly recommend, fabulous service, delicious food and a beautiful setting which makes it welcoming for all even if you aren't a golfer.

We stopped in here for dinner without doing a lot of research. I have seen a lot of buzz about it online and decided to give it a try.The Olive Tree Restaurant is just south of Mocksville on highway 64. I assumed this was a traditional American / Southern restaurant but was blown away by the dining room, menu, and the fact they have a full bar. Not what I was expecting from a restaurant that is in the middle of nowhere.The menu is large. Something for everyone. Handhelds including burgers, hot dog, wraps, and clubs. They also have more expensive entrees ranging from $15, $24, to the dreaded "market price". It includes steaks, chicken, shrimp & grits, salmon, pork, etc.. They also have salads, flatbreads, wings and appetizers. We tried the spinach & artichoke souffle as a starter and the Mediterranean flat bread as the entree. Both items were good. Solid 3 stars on the food we tried. I'm sure there are other items on the menu that are better.Onto the booze. They had four beers on tap, one regional and three national brands. Lots more in bottles and cans. Decent wine list. About seven red and seven white on the menu. You can get the wine by glass or the bottle. Full bar available if you want something stronger.I do wish this place success. Very unique for the area. I plan on coming back to try other items on the menu.

So glad this place was finally able to open, it's been a long time coming!The inside is very clean. There are a lot of tables, and even a bar! Unfortunately, they currently only have 1 high chair but they have 2 more ordered! We went in for breakfast this morning and the seasoned potatoes were definitely my favorite, and my daughter loved her cup of fresh fruit.Now, the only reason I'm doing 4 stars vs 5 stars - there are areas that could use some improvement! It did seem like our waitress might be new to being a waitress. She didn't stop by very often, but this will get better with time I'm sure! There's also a lot of chatting up at the hostess stand. Food wise, I just wish my omelet had been seasoned! Even if it was just salt and pepper. (Though our waitress wasn't super attentive, the owner really was! She apologized and felt so bad about the high chair and checked on us at least 3 times)We live SO close by, so we will return and I have my fingers crossed I can change this to 5 stars then!

A dear friend had his surprise birthday party here on the back patio. We haven't been here under the new name of Olive Tree so we were happy to finally try this place.This is a slightly different review because it wasn't a normal dinner. Tables and chairs were set up for 50 people on the back patio so a team of servers took everyone's order.The staff was friendly and efficient. People's orders were taken fairly quickly given the size of the "party" involved. The menu is eclectic. It offers a wide selection of beef, chicken, fish and pasta dishes. I ordered the Black and bleu bacon burger with fries. My wife got the chicken souvlaki. Despite the size of our crowd and other patrons inside, food came out in a timely manner. I gotta tell you, my burger was exceptional. Cooked perfectly medium with crisp, fresh toppings with bacon and bleu cheese crumbles. But what impressed me what this: the burger stayed 100% intact as I ate it and set it on the plate. None of the ingredients spilled out. ZERO! These guys know how to build a burger! The fries has a wispy light coating and were delicious. My wife enjoyed her chicken souvlaki. The chicken was moist and tender as were the vegetables. She particularly enjoyed the tzatziki sauce.The party host picked up our checks but I'd have to say it was around $30 plus tip.I don't mind paying for good food and this place has good food. As we watched food being delivered to the other party guests, it all looked good from salads to steaks. I look forward to coming back. Their cheesesteak looks amazing and has my name written all over it. Give these guys a try. On Rt 64 at the Colin Creek Golf Course. Worth the trip. Worth the money.

My wife and I came here for a private event, but they don't open to the public for 2 more weeks.The facilities are amazing. A mix of old-world charm and modern clean lines.The food was Bruscetta balsamic chicken. The balsamic glaze and the cheese were a perfect combination of flavors. These came with roasted Greek potatoes. I couldn't atop getting more even when I was full. For such a simple dish, it was awesome. Along with these was a Mediterranean salad. I don't know what the dressing was, but yu-mee.Next were sautéed vegetables. Again, scrumptious. Spinach and artichoke dip on pita bread rounded things out.Oh, there was a charcuterie board setup that included the most amazing dried figs!The owners were so gracious and happy the entire time. It was a wonderful experience!We are anxious to return when they officially open.

If you've been to the original location in Winston you know how good they are. Well this one we loved too. Out in Mocksville at the Colin creek golf club, they've done a really nice job of outfitting the place. Great indoor seating and the patio will be really nice when the season is finally upon us covered but open. Really pretty out there. Plenty of parking out front also. We went on a Thursday evening for dinner. Granted I'd only been for lunch at the other location, this place had a nice dinner menu too. Plenty to choose from, fish, Steak, chicken, flatbreads, sandwiches and salads. Also have a full bar. Probably limited on variety of liquor but they have all the basics. Nice wine variety too, and some beer. We had a bottle of Prosecco to share and they have good prices on wine bottles. Not many places can you get a bottle of Prosecco for $27. Ordered the bruschetta for an app and loved the presentation and the thin crostini they use . Nice and light and good balsamic drizzle. I ordered the chicken souvlaki and fries and both were so good! Loved the battered twice fried fries. So crunchy til they last one! The chicken was nice and seasoned and plenty of good tzatziki. Pretty big pita and nice salad filling. My friend had the Gyro and fruit and she ate every bit of it. She also loved the tzatziki. Good amount of meat in the pita so pretty filling. Our server Kim was super sweet and loved we could joke around with her. Kept checking in on us, really good service and quick. Great first experience here, would love to come back and sit outside in the warmer days. Hope they continue to do well and keep up the good service and food!

Have been a dozen times or so since they opened. Everything I have had has been very good, still working my way through the menu (which is hard to do with such an interesting Specials Menu).Service has always been exceptional.Very nice place. It has become my favorite for grabbing a quick bite or dining out.

Food and service was wonderful. We enjoyed the atmosphere; very relaxing as well. Positive experiencefor sure Happy another restaurant opened in Mocksville.
