“ #1 the waitress. She was having a crazy night but to have the amazing positive attitude while dealing with her crazy surroundings was above and beyond all expectations. Her name is Katie and she's GREAT! I had the Parmesan crusted steak asked for medium got well done and it was not cooked evenly. Had amazing flavor though!! Mac&cheese eeeh kind of bland. Asparagus - the ends weren't cut off so a bit of a stringing cardboard crunch. Also had great flavor, though. Hubby had the crispy chicken Sammy with honey mustard (made in house). Really good!! Highly recommend. I wish the family that was behind us would have paid attention to their kids. They kept ramming into my chair and the son literally slammed into my husband like he was going to sit on his lap, no sorry no excuse me....nothing. Also they may want to rethink their plate size for presentation. :) ”
“ This is our spot and the food is always great and so is the service. Today we had a surprise birthday breakfast party for my husband. Christina rocked it out just like she always does!! Everything was perfect!! Drinks were always full, all the food was delicious!! Thank you Christina for taking care of us!! ”
“ Christine did an amazing job with our large group for a surprise party. Food is always great. ”
“ My server, Katie, was great and very helpful. She is fast, and I love seeing her when I come in. ”
“ Love breakfast here! It's always fresh and delicious! The staff is very friendly and gives great service. The remodel is very nice and welcoming!! ”
“ Service has always been good! Meals have always been plenty! They have been short handed but they work their butts off! Owner even helps with whatever is needed. It never seems to be to loud where you can't do your own talking. Love this place. ”
“ Had a long, difficult and hot day at work. I got home and had no energy left to fix dinner. I wanted a big, cool salad-but didn't have the fixin's. Decided to try DoorDash from Olive Branch. For my first experience doing this, it was a perfect!! Food was here fast! And it was so good, I ate the whole thing! Check out this pic! Would give it 10 out of 10!! Thank you Olive Branch and my DoorDash driver!! ”
“ Service was good and the food was good. This was one of the only places that was open for miles around given that it was Easter Sunday so we didn't have many options. However, I'm very glad we stopped here and would again. The place is clean and well-kept. There are 2 main dining rooms and by the time we left, both were almost filled to capacity so clearly this is a popular place for locals. ”
“ It may be a drive from Alton to Jerseyville for breakfast, but it's well worth it. Olive Branch Cafe, is a good ole country diner with down home comfort food. I knew I had found a winner as soon as I pulled in the parking lot. When I saw a group of farmers talking and saying good-bye to each other after dining. I knew if it was good enough for them, it has to be good. When entering I took notice of the Daily Specials on the large wipe board. Moving over to IL, I have learned to take note of chalk boards and wipe boards when entering a restaurant, you'll find specials that they may omit to tell you. Seeing that their BIG Breakfast was on sale $2 off, I took the opportunity to get a sampling of multiple breakfast staples. My plate was filled with 2 eggs, 2 slices of bacon, 2 patties of sausage, hash browns and one biscuit with gravy. It truly was a BIG breakfast, I couldn't clean my plate it was so much food. I took my left-overs home to use as a topping for my fur-babies evening meal. My meal was hearty. The bacon was crisp and so were my hash browns. The sausage and eggs were also done to my liking. I like my eggs over hard with the yokes broken and some diners don't like to do them that way, but OBC did them perfectly. Best of all, was the biscuit with milk gravy filled with chunks of sausage. All the food was seasoned lightly. Normally, diners over do the salt, but not here. I did have to give a few shakes of pepper, but I love pepper. The service was attentive and my coffee cup was never less then half full. I'll be returning for another hearty breakfast. When: July 31, 2021 Why: Breakfast ”
