" I visited The Olive a couple of weeks ago and was absolutely thrilled with the consistency in quality. I ordered the chicken shawarma and it was bursting with flavor. The tzatziki was creamy and refreshing - truly elevating the dish. I also loved the well-kept outdoor space, which created a great vibe for lunch. The staff were friendly and attentive, making the experience all the more enjoyable. However, the wait time was a bit longer than expected during peak hours, which was the only downside.

" What a great little spot! I came here for lunch after a long hike nearby. The gyros were phenomenal! Just the right amount of seasoning and the meat was incredibly tender. I enjoyed the outdoor patio, although some additional shade would have been nice. My only criticism would be the pricing feels a little high for a food truck setting, especially with the sides. I would still recommend it for anyone craving delicious Mediterranean food! " (*Curated Review*)

" The Olive is a small but cozy place to grab Mediterranean food. I enjoyed the freshness of the ingredients used in the falafel and loved that they made it to order. The outdoor setting was perfect for the warm weather. However, I must say the service was a tad slow during my visit, which could be improved. A great option for anyone craving hearty and healthy meals, just allow extra time if you're in a hurry! " (*Curated Review*)

" Overall, I had a decent experience at The Olive. The atmosphere could use more greenery, it felt a bit plain. The good news is the food really delivered! I had the gyro with baggage and loved how tasty the meat was. However, I wish there were more toppings. The service was friendly, and it was clear they care about their customers. There's definitely potential, and I would consider giving them another try. The outdoor setting is a nice touch for a casual meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" Stumbled upon this gem while out with friends. The food was fantastic; I had the buffalo chicken wrap, which was not really Mediterranean but delicious nonetheless! The atmosphere was lively, with great outdoor seating. However, I noticed a slight bummer regarding portion sizes for the sides. Overall, it was a good experience and I'd happily return if I'm back in the area. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely love this food truck! You know the food is good when they have a line! The staff works super efficiently and are always friendly. I must highlight their falafel; it’s unbeatable! The atmosphere was a nice outdoor vibe with fresh air while you munch! If you haven't been here yet, trust me, you are missing out! " (*Curated Review*)

" The Olive has some of the best falafel I've had! Flavors were spot on, and I loved the outdoor dining setup. The service was excellent as well; very attentive without being overbearing. I only wish they had a few more vegetarian options on the menu. Otherwise, a great experience all around. " (*Curated Review*)
