Block House — Restaurant in Olivet

DO NOT waste your time or money. I’m not sure where the other people ate and wrote their reviews about, but it could not have been the Olivet restaurant location. For a sports bar in a college town I had high hopes. The atmosphere was nice, I see where students of the college or a group watching a game would be happy. We called ahead being a Saturday night and were happy it wasn’t busy when we got there. After waiting ten minutes to be seated we waited another five at the table for anyone to come. Again NOT busy, by any standard. I counted 3 wait staff, 2 people tending bar and 3 cooks. Ordered just water, waited. Three appetizers, one was bread, and we waited thirty minutes for them. When they came we had to ask for silverware and plates. One bread roll was just a step away from being burnt. Thankfully they were good. The momas were real good, great dipping sauce. The fried cauliflower was good, which says a lot since I don’t eat cauliflower. Then we waited and waited. There were only three other tables seated and four people at the bar. Our waiter stopped at one point and apologized for the wait because they were busy. Really!? This is their busy? More waiting. The family next to us said they waited an hour for pizza, which they barely ate and said was terrible. When our food arrived the smash burger was good. Waffle fries had good flavor. Daughters pasta was devoid of flavor, wife’s food so-so. Definitely not worth the $82.34, and for sure not worth 1 hour and 45 minutes our night. Will not be...

We won't be back. I suggest you go ANYWHERE else.

I had high hopes for this place as the reviews were 4.4 stars. I didn't read the reviews and wish I had.

We were in the area and thought we would try it since the menu looked decent.

As several others have said, they were out of a lot of things!! We were told when we came in that the only appetizer they could make was loaded fries. They also said they couldn't make the Mac n Cheese, Honey Salmon, or Steak Diane. This is when we should have left.

My husband ordered what was supposed to be a double smash burger. It came out as a single.

My son ordered the margherita pizza. It was huge, but disappointing. He was given a dirty plate. I wondered if they were also out of dish soap. I thought the pizza had a plastic taste. My husband said it tasted like Chef Boyardee box pizza from the 80's. My son chose not to bring home the leftovers.

I tried to order a supreme pizza, not knowing how large the pizzas were. The waitress came back a few minutes later and said they couldn't make it because they had no pepperoni or sausage. I could try to order a special pizza if I could figure out what to order with prosciutto and pineapple. I asked for the menu again. I was the lucky one. The spinach artichoke tortellini...

We live in Olivet, and haven’t been into the BH until tonight….(unfortunately!) It was a long week and late, and we didn’t want to drive far so we decided to stop in order dinner and have a drink while we waited, and we found a gem! Leah the bartender was so fantastic, she made amazing drinks, was attentive, informative and we truly enjoyed her. There’s nothing better than a great bartender! We took a little long to order food, as we were enjoying drinks and enjoying our time, and the kitchen should have closed but stayed to make our dinner and they nailed it. We got to meet the GM after watching him hand toss our pizza crust, he was super friendly and took great care of us as well, super cool guy! We got home, had the best dinner, we got the Firecrackers, Dumplings, Margherita Pizza and the Hawaiian Pizza….. yes our eyes were bigger than our stomachs but every bite was worth it! Honestly we are already looking forward to going back to try the simulator with all the active games like golf, basketball, football ect. You can bring your own clubs or use their’s, I think we will bring ours next time! Such a cool experience in a small country/college town! Next time games new cocktails and dessert! Thanks BH team of Olivet for a great experience ,...
