Red Olive Restaurant - Warren — Restaurant in Warren

Customer of years, will NOT be returning after last night! My family has frequently visited this location, and the owners SCS location, for the past few years - the food is good, reasonably priced, and most importantly since some of my family has gluten allergies this was a good fit since they offered gluten free wraps. Last year the SCS location was out of GF wraps for 4 visits in a row, which we were told they were on order, then by the 4th visit we were told the owner won't be ordering GF anymore and we have to go to this location. So we started going to this location, which is about a 20 minute drive. We have been going to this location for dinner in store, and pickup for roughly the past year now without issue until last night. Long day, we placed a $70 order which included several meals with GF wraps. We got there and the owner told us that they were out of GF wraps. We asked why they didn't call us to inform us before we drove all the way out there, and were told that the waitress did call us to inform us of this. Checked our phone and told him we had no missed calls or voicemails. Then the owner told us that the waitress did call and spoke to "Christine" (my wife is Tina), and that we agreed it was okay that they were out of GF wraps. No such phone call took place! So we wasted 20 minutes driving out after a long day, apparently to have one of the staff there lie about a phone call that never took place, the owner didn't even try to bring the waitress over to ask her about it...and now pushing 7:30pm at night we had to drive all the way back to our side of town and order from a different restaurant. Very disappointed. We would have been more accepting of them saying they forgot to call us to inform us they were out of GF wraps, but to insist they did call and spoke to us, was a bad attempted cover up that lost them our business...

I recently dined at Red Olive in Warren and was thoroughly impressed by the harmonious blend of Mediterranean, Greek, and American cuisine they offer. The ambiance of the restaurant instantly made me feel at ease, echoing the warmth and richness of the dishes. I was particularly taken with their chicken gyro plate and the Greek salad, each dish perfectly balanced and bursting with flavor.

The friendly staff added a personal touch to my dining experience, attentive and genuinely warm, making me feel truly welcome. I appreciated the clean and soothing environment, complemented by soft, inviting music. Each dish, from the crispy fish and chips to the creamy rice pudding, was a testament to the restaurant's commitment to culinary excellence.

What struck me most was the value Red Olive provides. The portions were generous, and the prices were reasonable, proving that they don't compromise on quality. Dining at Red Olive was more than just a meal; it was a celebration of rich flavors and heartwarming hospitality, a memorable experience that I would recommend to anyone looking for quality...

I love this place. Red Olive has a huge selection of salads to choose from, more than pretty much anywhere else. Their other food is good too, but I come here to get a good salad. Tonight I had the Cobb, which is generously covered with avocado, chicken, tomatoes, bacon, and onion for only $9.99. Most of the salads are around this price, but the others generally cost more to add chicken, or include chicken but cost a little more. My son always gets the childrens pancake. It's a single huge Mickey Mouse pancake with a side of meat. They will add chocolate chips if you ask. My husband gets a variety of American style dishes here, but they have Greek, Italian, and Oriental dishes too. Many of the items are gluten free, and the servers are happy to help you make gluten free choices. For dessert, they have a variety of cheesecakes all made with their patented recipe. The servers are also generally pretty good. I have never had a problem despite coming here for years. In fact, the servers have all been generous and helpful. Dollars to donuts, there is something on the menu here...
