Had lunch from here a few times. My boss buys us food on Saturday, and seems to like this place. I have concluded that he has had traumatic injury to his mouth at some point, because calling this food mediocre is a generous lie. The first time, I thought, hey, its a kebob, sometimes they dont cook well and they come out rubbery and tasting like ammonia. I guess. The second time, I soft balled in a club sandwich. That they managed to get most of the ingredients onto the sandwich shouldnt have been impressive, but after tasting the slimy turkey, the rubbery, pale bacon, and the depressed lettuce, I was glad the sour tomatoes had been left off most of it. The third time I thought, this is it, the lucky time when I get to taste the great food from this popular eatery! I got ambitious, and ordered a chicken caeser salad. The lettuce was good- nice, green, crunchy, fresh. The Parm, a little less so, maybe it just wasnt my brand. But the chicken. It looked good. It smelled good. So why did it taste bad? Bitter. Honest to god bitter chicken. I still cant figure out the dressing- usually bad Caesar dressing is either gritty, or unpleasantly sour and bitter, but I hadnt found a sample that was both at once. I WANTED to taste anchovies, but at that point, more to get the taste out of my mouth than anything else. After about a third of the salad, I had no appetite left, and it was not because of a rich and filling meal. So, as I sit here, sipping apple cider vinegar to quell the unrest in my stomach, I say to you this; to the people who have already left reviews here, I apologize your preferred eatery is in decline. To those who plan to visit in the future, scrutinize your meal before accepting it. And to Red Olive itself, dont worry. With hard work and effort, you too can surpass the meager standards set by a Detroit Coney Island.

I have eaten at this Honey Tree 5 times. Every time I have had excellent service, food exactly how I ordered it, timely refills on drinks, and very cheerful waitresses. I have gone at peek times and at off times, both equally good. Because of your wonderful menu, a HUGE variety, I have started taking my picky out-of-town friends here to eat. THEY all love it. I took my friend there last Friday night for dinner. The place was VERY crowded. I thought we might have to be patient for our food. NO, the waitress was great, took out order, and had it back to us in no time. FANTASTIC. We both got the Bistro Salad. Absolutely delicious. Great restaurant.

Comida familiar, casera, limpio.. raciones gigantes (como en todos los sitios) Con aire mediterraneo. Yo pedí una racion de pollo, verduras y arroz, y no lo pude terminar..

Food is great when you eventually get it. Service is horrible they almost always have new or different servers who are inexperienced and combine that with A kitchen that cannot plate a full table all at once and you have a complete failure. Really unfortunate that the service wasnt better because they truly do have great dishes to offer

Have only been here once (for now) Had a wonderful experience. Food was served 6 minutes after ordering, hot, and cheap for the amount of food we got. I came for breakfast but looked over full menu will be back for lunch or dinner someday, forsure breakfast again. Very friendly service also.

Fast, friendly service but the ranch dressing was so nasty...almost like ranch-flavored water. Not exaggerating! You the hostess about it and she acted like that was unusual and promised shed let the kitchen know.

Absolutely love this place. Prices, selections and portions are great. Food is just fine for a coney-esque establishment. Regularly come here at least once a week.

Decent food and a friendly staff is making this chain of restaurants our new go-to spot. Free Wi-Fi and room to work a little doesnt hurt either!

Affordable but quality food. Much better than going to some overrated Coney Island joint. This place is clean and has a super friendly staff.
