Great after hours spot that a coworker & I went to! There was lively music & people chilling on the patio area.We sat & ordered at the bar. I had the cookies & cream bread pudding with poydras poutine: fries covered in chicken & andouille sausage gumbo! I had mine w/o the pulled pork but it was just as described on the menu.. succulent!The service was subpar but not bad. The bartender seemed a bit flustered & it took while for our food to come. That's the only thing that kept me from giving a five star review. I've heard great things about their brunch so I'll be back to try it soon.

Bar has potential but feels like a has been. Junk and disarray around the bar contributes to a negative vibe. Happy hour is $8 cocktails. Pretty good deal. But not an upscale place.

I came to the restaurant after trying a bite of a friends meal and I really enjoyed it a while back. But I did not realize that they only served brunch on Saturday and Sunday, so I decided to try the chicken and waffles anyway. Unlucky for me, we were served the worst chicken tenders I quite possibly ever had in my life, and I mean that.I will show you in photos below, but the chicken was so dry and shriveled up that it literally fell out of the batter every time we picked it up and it had the texture of rubber, overpriced, and some of the worst food I've ever had. The server was really nice and made a good bloody Mary . The inside also kind of looks like an old tavern.

Olive or Twist is an industrially styled restaurant featuring repurposed wood accents and pendulum light fixtures, creating a cozy yet modern ambiance. The menu boasts brunch options and an extensive spirits list, catering to a variety of tastes. While the setting was promising, my experience was a mix of highs and lows.I ordered the BBQ shrimp and stone-ground grits. While the shrimp were well-seasoned and paired with a tangy sauce, the grits left something to be desired. I prefer my grits creamy and smooth, but these were just average. On the brighter side, the side of fresh seasonal fruit was delightful and refreshing. My mother ordered the bananas foster French toast and absolutely loved it--rich, decadent, and perfectly executed.The highlight of our visit was the exceptional service. Our server was patient, attentive, and quick to refill drinks and check on us. His genuine kindness made the meal more enjoyable.As a wheelchair user, I always evaluate accessibility. Olive or Twist had a light, easy-to-open bathroom door and a spacious handicap stall, which was appreciated. However, the restroom's lack of cleanliness was a major disappointment. Stains, hair, and even mold on the toilet, along with dirty floors, made it unusable. This aspect needs immediate attention to ensure a comfortable and sanitary experience for all guests.Olive or Twist has potential with its inviting atmosphere, creative menu, and excellent service. However, the food could be more consistent, and the cleanliness of the facilities needs significant improvement. My mother enjoyed her meal, and while my experience was just "okay," the friendly service made it a bit better. With some adjustments, this restaurant could be a standout spot for brunch. For now, it's a place I'd revisit cautiously.

Prices are a little high, but the service and portion sizes are good. The atmosphere is kind of a Louisiana bayou country mixed with urban French Quarter bar -like decor. The Grits Grillade is flavorful with a pleasant Creole spice flavor and tender meat. The coffee was fresh. Good service but the restaurant didn't have many patrons while we visited.

I was excited to try Olive or Twist but it was subpar. Majority of the appetizers on the hard-to-read menu are 'discontinued' which was an awkward moment. I definitely realized the place is more focused on the drinks than the food, but I unfortunately sent my drink back. The ambiance is nice but our waitress was extremely soft spoken and hard to hear. Most of the time she was on her phone at the hostess stand. I'm not sure if I'm going back soon.

It's a great place to sit down and have drinks, but no matter what time of day, they are out of half of what is on their menu.

Service is still great! I was sad to see my crab fingers still weren't available! But I went for some quick drinks && a bite to eat, && the bartender was great per usual. I got the short rib egg rolls && they were delicious. It's always a chill vibe! The drinks good && strong. I got my usual whiskey smash && blackberry sage. Me && my friend are going to drop in for our next girl's night.

At first glance you want to love Olive or twist there is a quintessential vibe and atmosphere that almost screams hang out spot. I went for both their weekly happy hour and Sunday brunch. On both occasions I was strongly underwhelmed by the wait staff who always seemed distracted or bothered whenever he was called upon to wait on our table. Two of my friends had to return their plates because it was under seasoned. Do not get the steak and grits! Or essentially anything with beef in it. Chicken and waffles are good, and the mimosas are good as well. To top of the entire experience, we had to use plastic ware because they 'ran out' of silverware. We gave it two tries, we will likrlynot be coming back

We decided to try this place again after not having it for a while, but now I'm wishing we didn't even waste our time. We ordered the Poydras poutine as a starter and it looks literally nothing like it's pictured. They may honestly be using great value fries instead of the home cut fries they advertised. I ordered a Couchon debris poboy as a meal and it is a sliver of meat on a literal hot dog bun. For TWENTY FOUR DOLLARS. Again, nothing like it is pictured. Super disappointed this is the place we decided to get lunch from when there are so many other great options. At least the drinks were good.
