Oliver’s - Shoreview

Our friends brought us here for dinner while we were in the area! Perfect spot to hang out and grab a bite!Located in an apartment complex, there is a shared lot with parking available adjacent to the restaurant! The interior is open, while remaining cozy! It feels upscale, yet approachable, with quality finishes that elevate the experience. Our server was fantastic the whole evening! I opted for the Fried Chicken Sandwich, which was a perfect take on the classic: juicy chicken, crunchy pickles, and creamy sauce. My favorite part was the chipotle aioli that came with the sweet potato fries: smoky with a hint of spice! I had to ask for more because I could have eaten that sauce with a spoon!If you're looking for great American food, I'd absolutely recommend this spot if you're in the area!

Oliver's is a very cute, cozy place with great food and service. We went here on a Saturday for brunch before my niece's baptism so we had a pretty big group. Service seemed a little slower since it was Saturday and it looked busy. Pretty much everyone in the group gravitated towards two things on the menu. The Huevos rancheros and Oliver's sunrise. One person in the group got the flapjacks. Kids got Mac and cheese from the kid's menu and eggs. They devoured their food. The Huevos rancheros was delicious with avocado, salsa, refried black beans, queso fresco, chipotle aioli, over easy egg all set on top of crunchy tostada. Every one finished every single bite of it. The Oliver's sunrise is a big portion with eggs any style, bacon or sausage, toast and Oliver's hash. Every one seemed to enjoy it and had left over. The flapjacks were delicious I was told. We all had a great experience and I'm looking forward to going back for dinner sometime.

Consistently good lunch fare. Had the Poke Bowl today. Fresh and yummy. Large open space emitting a cozy vibe even though it's a wildly open space. Friendly staff. Good choice for lunch. Will have to try dinner sometime.

We arrived on a Tuesday, in the late morning. The restaurant and location are very nice. The decor and space is great. Apparently, reservations are recommended as the hostess was not very happy that we did not have reservations. We were seated at a table which was about as big as a postage stamp. Actually, I think I've seen bigger postage stamps! At first our server was attentive. However, it seemed like we wore out our welcome because he didn't come back to clear our dishes or remove glasses (again, table was smaller than a postage stamp!). That being said, the food was brought out quickly and was very good!!While we visited in November and the patio was closed, it looks like their patio may be 'dog friendly'. I would like to return in the spring (with a RESERVATION!) to see if we have a better experience the next time.

Popped in here on a Sunday night visiting MN for the first time. Was craving a pizza and their pepperoni pizza was so good. I could see the cooks putting the pizza in a brick oven. Crust was perfect. Not too thin or thick. They had a nice drink menu. Husband loved his old fashion. I don't remember what I got but it was yummy!! They were packed! Server was sweet and packed up our leftovers for us. Neat little place. We have intentions of visiting MN again but would come back here in a heartbeat.

This is such a busy place. I can see why people would meet here for a meal. There is a beautiful bar and plenty of seating. We came in on Friday at lunchtime. We didn't have trouble being seated. Service was friendly and efficient. My husband had breakfast tacos and I got Avocado toast. I loved the tomatoes they were the highlight for me. The bacon on my husband's breakfast tacos was thick and cooked just right. My husband had been here before for a business meeting. He thought I would like it and I sure am glad he brought me here.

Again, if I could give 3 1/2 stars I would. Oliver is doing a lot of great things and there are some minor areas of potential improvement. I have been here for dinner and now I thought I would try breakfast after getting off of night shift.The first time I came here, I got the pot roast. It was good. Not fantastic, but good. On the dry side, it really needed more au' juis that came with it, and so I asked for extra. Service was good, the ambience is kind of like a cross between a contemporary American restaurant crossed with a coffee café shop or something. Happy hour looked to be quite generous, with food and a variety of drinks that actually are worth discount if you came during those times. I think they are 3 to 5 PM and then something like after nine or 9:30 PM?? the drinks are creative, well-balanced, and some thing that you could not get at a normal restaurant and bar.Another time, I came here after completing a night shift for breakfast. I got the eggs Benedict, with the salad and a side of bacon, and the bloody Mary with house style mix. The bloody Mary came with a skewer, full of lots of yummies, including cheese, pickled items, salami, and other the obligatory celery stock. The bernais over the eggs benedict had a distinctly unique flavor, which I still have not decided is good or bad, that was herbal, like in nature, and nothing like I've tasted with eggs Benedict before in my life. Nevertheless, the egg was perfectly poached with a runny yolk, And honestly? The salad dressing was so good. It was just a great complement to the savory numbness of the Benedict. Again, so why three stars, and not Fore? The ingredients and quality are there, but proper executions of dishes are lacking. A little mistake here, overcook the meat there, a funky taste, that is unexplainable, and these little things add up. It seems to be a trend that restaurants in the twin cities have all of the trapping and resources to be a great restaurant, but lack the actual management and culinary talent to pull it off.

Met up with a couple of friends for dinner and drinks at a place that almost never disappoints. We love to sit at the bar and everyone is always very friendly. We had the Cuernavaca drink and I ordered the special burger. This week is it the Elote burger with a corn mixture on top of the patty and tortilla strips. Awesome burger but had to get a second order of fries as the ones that came with the meal were cold. That's an exception to the rule of good food! They got my hot ones out quickly and it was all good. Great service!Def recommend

Its a hole in the wall but omg. Great bloody marys and the food was great!!!! The ambiance was really nice. This place is next to an apartment complex so unless you know about it you would definitely miss it!! But its such an amazing place!!

Really disappointing experience Saturday night. Service wasn't great but that happens from time to time and experience always helps. The bigger deal was the food. The MOST important part and what a fail. They have changed their pizza dough from pretty solid thicker crust to a poor heggies impersonation. So sad and what a bad value. (Don't get me wrong heggies is good late night at the bar but...it doesn't cost you $60 for 3 pies)
