What our guests are saying
Traveling through Tennessee, we decided to try this restaurant and so glad we did! The food was amazing, even with my wife needing gluten free needs. Her meal was a chicken parm with no breading and zucchini noodles. Absolutely fantastic tasting. I had a steak canzone. Probably the best one I ever had. We will be coming back. It will make for a nice ride on our motorcycle and we plan on bringing friends. Our server was very sweet and gave us excellent service.

First time diner at The Black Olive. The food was plentiful and delicious. Our server, Cody, was attentive, very nice, and spot on! I had the shrimp scampi, and my BF had a dish he created (pasta with pesto sauce and heaped with calamari), and we shared a plate of cheese stuffed garlic knots. All were tasty. Definitely recommend.

This was our third time to this location. We keep coming back because the food is fresh and made to order. Their Alfredo sauce is especially tasty. Our server was Amy G and she made sure we had refills before we needed them and kept checking back without hovering. We've tried several different menu items and have yet to find a favorite because they've all been excellent. We will keep coming back because the menu is extensive.
