The Mod Olive

If you know Suffolk then you're familiar with the Plaid Turnip. Mod is the Turnips spinoff in the building they used to inhabit. Still some of the same Turnip faves you know with a little more quirk. I came specifically while back visiting Suffolk for the Fried Green Tomatoes and was not disappointed. Lightly breaded, tender, served w feta and balsamic. Exactly like momma made. We also had the pork belly biscuit platter and there was enough food for 3-4 people. I'm not mad about the leftovers. The pork was tender, flavorful, and exactly as it should be. Those big fluffy buttery biscuits reminded me to go for a run so I can eat the leftovers. We had ours with a side of waffle fries. Crispy, delicious, perfect diner fries. The sweet tea will make even the most northern of Yankees say y'all.

Mod Olive has quickly become our favorite spot to grab breakfast. We love that it's within walking distance and they never disappoint! My go to is the Benedict but I went with the chicken and waffles and it did not disappoint. Services is always super friendly and relatively quick and the portion sizes are fantastic. It's a retro vibe inside That is clean and quirky

The food was good, and served hot. The service was friendly, fast and efficient. The environment was quirky and cute, definitely good for a family or for date night. The menu options were great, my husband insists we come back to try other menu items because there were many great options.

This place is a mid-century hoot on the main drag in Suffolk. There's quite an extensive menu of sandwiches and other casual fare that's nothing completely new, but they generally add a little twist or distinctive flourish. The portions are enormous and the prices are more than reasonable. The sweet potato fries are terrific. There's also an extensive list of (mostly retro and sweet) cocktails that's fun to narrow down to a selection. The bartender was pleasant and efficient.The decor is a time-traveling hoot, and they have vintage TV episodes playing on the screens. Definitely a good choice for a fun night out.

WOW!!! This place is a hidden Gem and totally blew me away:-) the food was AMAZING and the staff were so friendly and willing to help make selections. WILLGO BACK!!

Good evening, We had four people order lunch her. Ava did an outstanding job in food selections and was very knowledgeable and attentive to us. The place as an eccentric old school diner/restaurant and old reruns are playing on the projector screen. Bugs bunny, Yosemite Sam and Fog horn Leg Horn cartoons were playing today. Last time was Gilighans Island. Food was fantastic from the salad to the Chicken AVO Clubo sandwich I had with a side salad. One person ordered the chicken pot pie, which was served in a nice succulent sauce with chicken and vegetables and pastries on top. The other person ordered homemade chicken salad sandwich was huge with old bay homemade chips. The third person ordered chicken fried steak with green beans portions are great food was again Very very tasty. If you're in the Suffolk area I would definitely try this place. The entire staff is extremely friendly.

I was very disappointed. First of all, the service was extremely poor. We were seated in a corner, and I think we were mostly out of mind. We waited several minutes once ready to order, drinks were not refilled, food prep was super slow (probably 30 mins), and again we waited several minutes for the check. As for the food, portions were very generous, and flavors were pretty good. However, the bread on the Mac Attack sandwich was excessive and really soggy - I couldn't eat it. The waffle fries were very good. Lastly, the place was generally dirty. There are eclectic decorations throughout, and not a one without a cob web or two on it. We were seated in a corner along a brick wall. There was a large spider in the corner and cob webs on the brick. Oh, and the floor had bits of food that looked like they had been there for a week.

Our food was nice and hot. Our send is a nice job and we definitely recommend this place. Nice atmosphere and if you in the area definitely stop by.....

I arrived in Suffolk to visit my daughter in law and she said that this was the spot for brunch and I would love it. She was correct, upon arriving the restaurant has a 70's, retro vibe with eclectic decor from that era. There's a full bar with seating, nostalgic movies from the 60's and 70's playing, and the cutest art work displayed. I opted for the veggie omelet with two eggs, with a side of blueberries, and a bagel with cream cheese. The omelette was tasteful, the bagel could have been more crisp and less butter, and the blueberries were not as fresh but, being that they aren't in season is why. Lastly, we had the champagne screw which consists of vodka, orange juice, and champagne. It was a bit strong but delicious, a different taste from my usual mimosa with oj and champagne. Our server was kind, and gracious.

I had a fabulous Sunday brunch on their patio with a friend this last week, and truly enjoyed the food, the location, the whole feel of the eatery, and our wonderful waitress Gracie! The menu had a ton of options, and SO many things sounded SO appetizing that it was truly hard to pick just one meal! However, we narrowed it down to the biscuits and gravy as well as fried chicken and waffles both meals coming with a side. They had great options for sides also, and we went with fresh fruit, and hash brown casserole. I don't think you could really go wrong here, and we definitely enjoyed all that we ate! Gracie was such a helpful and friendly waitress, and really had a great first experience here and look forward to returning!
