Olive Branch Restaurant, Colorado Springs, Colorado Restaurant Details

Food:

I have eaten at The Olive Branch many times in the 22 years I've lived in Co. Spgs. I'm writing this review because I'm shocked to see some of the negative reviews here. The food and service is not perfect but at times very close and always well above average. I've never left the Olive Branch feeling anything less than content. I like the menu because it caters to just about everybody's taste so I can go there no matter who I'm dining with. The prices are reasonable for the size of the servings. I usually take home leftovers. For the most part the servers are friendly and patient, even on Sunday mornings when it can get packed. New places come and go and are fun to try but the quality fluctuates. I know if I go to the Olive Branch the food will be delicious and the atmosphere pleasant. My only complaint is that the coffee is $2.50 a cup which I think is outrageous but that seems to be the going rate these days at a restaurant. Same with the soda. Oh well, otherwise it's great.

Food:

Yes the turkey burger she ordered was a frozen patty, and the potato soup did suck bad (she ordered it without any of the toppings cheese, bacon, onions, not that that makes it okay). But the French onion soup I got was good and the vege lasagna was GREAT!
I would eat that lasagna even if I wasn't on a gluten free diet. It is very hard to make gluten free food that is as good as normal. I also enjoyed the muffin, the brownie was okay, but the chocolate birthday looking cake was soooo good. and the orange icing bread thing is good too. all of those baked goods I listed are gluten free, so when I say good, I mean good compared to other gluten free prouducts. again, the lasagna is good compared to any lasagna.

Food:

I had potato soup and the turkey burger with country potatoes. Bland, no flavor, frozen turkey patty from a wrapper, and cold potatoes. EGH!!!!! This is a horrible restaurant with horrible tasting food and I have NEVER written a review about a restaurant but this is pathetic. GROSS!!!!

Food:

Great soup. Service is excellent

Some friends and I went to the Olive Branch for dinner. Most importantly, the food was great! I wanted to give this place 5 stars, but it had a few flaws. The wine list was very limited and not enticing, but it was nice that the wine prices were reasonable. The menu was not huge and had a variety (Mexican, to burgers, to pasta, to steak), which was also reasonably priced. The live folk band that played was entertaining, but it was a little loud at times and made the conversation hard. I would recommend to a friend and will likely go back. The raviolis were amazing!
