Oliver's Restaurant

Step in here and your having a good southern comfort experience!! I think of the movie - O Brother Where Art Though! Eating here makes you feel like you're back in time! Food - Frog legs were the best and your not eating no tree frog leg! LOL. Brisket sandwich was awesome and hit the spot. Service - great southern service with a smile. Atmosphere - Small town charm with the southern touch of class.

Stumbled upon this restaurant when driving from Charlotte to Fayetteville. The vibes were great and the food was very well priced. We got a grilled cheese with bacon and tomato and a buffalo chicken sandwich with fries. The food was good and the waitress was super friendly. If we are ever in the area we would we sure to stop by.

Fantastic discovery today driving from North Myrtle Beach to Charlotte. The food was so delicious. All members of my party were very happy. We had the grouper tacos (a special), double cheese burger with fries, chicken tenders and fries, chicken sandwich, okra, and pecan bread pudding. Pecan bread pudding was totally worth the calories!!!

My husband had the jumbo Chicken wings which were delicious,juicy,crunchy,fries were seasoned and cooked perfectly,ocra was breaded nicely with good flavor, my daughter had the kids chicken tender which was seasoned and breaded perfectly and once again the fries were on point, I had the salmon with wild rice and broccoli and I am picky about my salmon and it was cooked perfectly, broccoli still had crunch which is the way I like it,and the rice was cooked to perfection we also had the gator bit which breading and season was great and that dipping sauce was to die for. Saved the sauce for my salmon. Margarita are great additions too. We will be back! Thank you Olivers you made our Valentine's dinner perfectly!

I live here and get to enjoy Oliver's all the time! I treat myself almost every weekend to their delicious prime rib. Tonight I also got their chocolate chip cheesecake for dessert. I just drove up and my favorite waitress brought it to my car. I like to take it home because I don't like for people to see me "inhaling" this food! It's not a pretty site to see me devouring this like a wild animal! It's absolutely the best! Kudos to Jeff and Elizabeth!

Oliver’s isn’t trying to be anything besides a family restaurant in a small town. No frills, just good food. We were desperately looking for a place to sit down on our way into Richmond County and found Oliver’s on Google. Charming. Delicious. Well-priced. I loved the nostalgic salad bar. The wings were fresh, hot, flavorful, crispy, and not too spicy. I ordered the ribeye special. Cooked to medium rare as requested. Baked potato was pretty regular but served with real butter. Meat was good quality all around. My fiancé ordered the fried pork chops. Southerner Stamp of Approval. Two chops, fried okra, and mashed potatoes with brown gravy for $14.95. A price you can’t beat. I would comment that they were more of a chicken fried style over the lighter breading one often finds in southern home cooking. Moist, crispy, well seasoned. If we’re ever in the area again, we’ll be back.

We absolutely love going to Oliver's! We've gone for dinner many times and even brought out-of-state and our family from England who loved it too. We went for lunch for the first time yesterday and the food and service were on-point as always. The fried pickels were PERFECT and the jalapeño bacon cheddar burgers were 10/10 (and what drew us there on a whim for lunch, lol). The staff is always so friendly and attentive, and all of the wait staff check the tables, not just the "assigned" waitress, which is so refreshing. We always look forward to coming to Oliver's 😊

Fantastic jewel in downtown Wadesboro, NC. Part of the charm is the age of the building, which dates back to at least the early 1900s. We ordered grilled shrimp and fries and fish tacos, which were great for a late afternoon lunch. Last minute decision to order a piece of homemade key lime pie was definitely a good decision. Grated limes in and on the pie were fantastic! The bartender was friendly, and the owner (Jeff Oliver) took the time to visit with us, explaining some of the history of the building. Prices were reasonable. We will definitely stop in again if we pass through town.

Nothing bad to say about Oliver's our new favorite restaurant. Have tried several dishes and all were great!

First visit and really enjoyed it! Would absolutely go back. Nice salad bar and good environment. Service was a little slow and they host a lot of larger groups for lunch so there can also be a wait to be seated during lunchtime.

Wow!!! Yes let's start with the word "Wow". This is the first time coming here and it won't be the last time coming here. We are in Wadesboro for local play at a theater and this is one of the local restaurants in the area. Growing up in Charlotte we always passe by Wadesboro area to go to Myrtle Beach, this area is full of fast food, we never knew that this gem was hiding behind all that. From the way its look outside, it is just a dinner. But once you walked in you are greeted with great hospitality. The area looks clean and comfortable. The staff was above and beyond. The food was amazing. We got some gator tails for starters, it is full of favors. I got the beef tips with rice, I mean this is one of beef tips I had. The salmon that my wife ordered was perfectly cooked. From now on, if I go to Myrtle beach from Charlotte we will stop by this spot. I just really want to said thank you for great food and service from this team.

Better than Grandma's!! The food was fresh, delicious and plentiful. Great daily specials, excellent service and all at a reasonable price. Avoid the fast food gauntlet and have some real food that makes you scrap your plate to get the last bite or the rest into the leftover box. We will be back !!!

Food and service was excellent. We sat in the bar area and the ambiance was great. Music was good picks and loud enough to hear but not talking over.

The service is always great from how the staff treats you when you walk in the door until the last drink is served it's overall great experience.

Wir halten nicht viel von Restaurantketten und waren reichlich entlohnt für den Umweg zu Oliver's Hometown Restaurant! Alle Speisen - Turkey Club Sandwich, Burger mit Fries, Fried okra und ein sensationeller Blueberry Bread Pudding - waren das Beste, was aus einer Küche kommen kann. Auch die Bilder mit Szenen aus 100 Jahren Geschichte des Ortes waren sehr interessant. Toiletten absolut sauber und ordentlich - und das Beste was die Ermahnung, die Hände gründlich zu waschen (siehe Bild unten!)

This place is a true gem. Very clean with cool interior that has maintained the brick walls and wood flooring. They waitresses are very nice and keep tabs on each others tables so you don't have to wait for a refill. Head chef, (owner?) Came out to see how things were going . That is very professional and shows their pride in the food and restaurant. We have tried many things on their menu. You can't go wrong with any choice. They serve a beautiful stacked club style sandwich. Burgers and chicken sandwiches are delicious. They have a lovely little salad bar that they keep clean and stocked with fresh ingredients. But, what they really excell at are their in home deserts. Unbelievably good! Bread puddings, cheese cakes and brownies oh my! The thing I most appreciate is that they try to keep their prices down. It is so to have such a quality restaurant that is affordable.

OLIVER'S is a delightful restaurant right in the heart of downtown Wadesboro. Whenever I am in the area around lunchtime, I choose OLIVER'S. They have a great menu with lots of options and specials everyday. I've never had a bad meal. I've enjoyed salads, blackened fish (grouper) tacos, fried okra, Brussel sprouts, and sandwiches. I strongly recommend this restaurant. You won't find friendlier staff or a better meal in the Wadesboro area.

Great place w great service. Lucky to find this gem driving through no man's land. Nice atmosphere, great service, good food and full bar.

Amazing food and service! We stopped by Oliver's for dinner on the way to the beach tonight and were pleasantly surprised. The menu had so many options to choose from that we had a tough time deciding. We asked our fantastic waitress for recommendations and ended up with the mushrooms, pickles and chicken tender appetizers, and split a smothered chicken dinner. Dessert was pecan pie bread pudding and a hot brownie with ice cream. Everything was so delicious and the super friendly owner Oliver and his wife even stopped by our table. Wish we had an Oliver's in Charlotte! No doubt we will be back!!

My family and I stopped here, not sure what to expect and were pleasantly surprised. Two of us had grilled cheese sandwiches and both sandwiches were crispy on the outside with delicious melted cheese on the inside. Fries were hot and crispy. Sister had a chicken wrap, was also delicious. We all had dessert, happy to see they offered "half size" portions, which was plenty. Brownies, banana pudding and bread pudding were all delicious and we each cleaned our plates. Service was attentive and the cost was reasonable. We look forward to the opportunity to eat here again!

Most amazing pit stop to the beach that we've had! The food was so so good and their bread pudding is legit!

Another delicious lunch at Oliver's! I got the Cubano again and it was even better than last time! The sweet potato waffle fries were delicious. My mom got one of the daily specials, the baja shrimp tacos. She liked them, but she said for her, they needed a little bit of sweetness to cut the acidity. Two were plenty filling for lunch. We also got the fried cheese curds but we ate them before I thought about a picture :p must have! Definitely our new meet up place. You can't go wrong, and the staff is great too!

Their fish platter is outstanding. If you want a light flavorful flaky crust you'll love it.

Great food a service!! Absolutely love Linsey!!! I live in Hamlet but definitely worth the drive!!

Made the drive today to try this restaurant. The food was unbelievably delicious! It has been years since I've eaten that much in one sitting. From cheese curds for an appetizer, blackened shrimp pasta for my main meal, and the brownie with whipped cream and ice cream for dessert. I ate every last bite and didn't feel bad about it!

Delicious food that you know is fresh and made to order. Service was outstanding, Chris was great, attentive to our requests. Spinach salad with cheese curds?!?! Highly recommended!!! Stuffed salmon was delicious and the side of broccoli was cooked perfectly. Prices are very reasonable. Very clean, even the bathrooms smelled good!! Enjoyed the laid back atmosphere. Will definitely be back really soon!! You will not be disappointed!!

I had the fried mushrooms and Tacos and it was immaculate. I Louie over an hour away in Charlotte and I can't wait for my next visit to eat again.

Good place to eat or drink the prices are high but cook is worth the prices. The melts are awesome and the Ruben is great for lunchtime.

From start to finish this place was awesome. Enjoyed the atmosphere, our waitress, Linsey, and the food tremendously.

We found our new lunch stop on our road trip to the beach. Best lunch ever! The flounder was perfect, crispy but not oily....and the bread pudding, amazing. it's the first time in 26 years of marriage that my wife didn't say, "my grandma's is better". We had the Pecan Bread pudding

Casual atmosphere but noisy so don't expect to have an easy time talking to each other. Portions are on the small size of average but quite tasty. My husband had Blackened chicken pasta with garlic toast. I ordered the fried oysters which came with fries and slaw. Had I not been hungry, I would have sent mine back. Food was luke warm, and neither the fries nor oysters were crisp. Both had a great flavor but were floppy, like they'd been steaming under a heat lamp. Our dishes came out several minutes apart! That was also disappointing. My oysters were $23 which is more than I'm used to paying. The platter could have included hushpuppies. Banana pudding was quite good though priced a bit high at $6.00. Server was pleasant and fairly attentive. They were sold out of the Prime Rib so we will go back to give it a try as we've heard it is good. Yum!

Was driving through town and wanted to try something new to me. Called from the service station and placed my order. The person who answered was amazingly friendly and they had it ready by the time I got there. Curbside service was quick and friendly. The food was also fabulous. I had the Turkey Club with fries. Will be back next time we are in the area.

We were driving to Carolina beach and we decided to pull over because we were starving!! We found Oliver's on Yelp and it had great reviews so we had to try it. We had the open face turkey sandwich, fried chicken sandwich, and of course had to end with dessert ( pecan bread pudding). Everything tasted homemade and it was all great. Highly recommend. Great service and amazing food. Our servers were so kind and attentive. If you're driving thru you NEED to stop!!

We stopped in yesterday, a lot of specials listed at the door as you're going in. My friend had a soup and a burger, I had the turkey club sandwich. It was delicious and very reasonable. I really liked the 70's music channel playing in the background as well, creates a nice and relaxing ambiance. Amid the coronavirus scare, we noticed our waitress was cleaning each table and every single chair very thoroughly with what looked like sanitizing products. I was very glad to see this. Thank you Oliver's, I highly recommend and will definitely be back soon!

What a great find! We were driving from Nashville to the beach and saw the reviews for Oliver's and decided to stop. We were greeted by the owner and found a nice spot. Oliver's is an older historical downtown building. Inside, it was casual and cozy, easy to have conversations and relax. There was a nice menu but also many specials. Many of the specials sounded great to us. We decided to go with the pulled pork tacos, broccoli and fried okra. All was great, and the tacos were so delicious! The pulled pork was very flavorful and went well with the toppings and bbq sauce. Great taste! It seems like the owner is very creative with menu items and delivers them excellently. I bet he changes out the specials and desserts often. We will definitely come again when driving back this way. I highly recommend!

Arrived with a party of 8. Short wait for seating. Service was excellent. Food was fabulous. We got the smothered chicken and hamburger steak. Both were seasoned and prepared perfectly. Finished our meal with brownie and ice cream. Great experience. We will definitely be back!

We had a wonderful meal. Our picky grandson at the fish strips and chicken tenderloins. Normally a finicky eater, he loved it as did we. Sharon from Jersey was kind, gracious and demonstrated impeccable service. The food was 5 star quality, freshness, taste and presentation. The pumpkin cheesecake is to die for. Posted photos of our meal. We will most certainly be back

Met friends half way across two states and chose Oliver's from a google search for locations. I'm from Boston visiting so didn't know what to expect. It was fabulous from entrance to service to the meals which tasted and felt like home made! I highly recommend this restaurant.

We, like others, were searching for a place to eat between Charlotte and the beach that was not fast food. This restaurant did not disappoint. Each day of the week has specific lunch and dinner specials. We tried the catfish and grits on the waitresses recommendation and it was delicious. Oliver's also has a great selection of homemade desserts. We chose the pecan pie bread pudding with vanilla ice cream. So good! From what we saw walking past our table, I think the daily specials are the way to go. Each one looked great. Portions were also large.

Halfway between Charlotte and my parents found this spot via yelp and it was good! The buffalo chicken tortellini was a special for the day and came recommended. It was good different from the norm and good! Bailey was an awesome server and the staff was friendly which is always a plus! Check em out!

Great food and very friendly staff. My husband and I both ordered the Reuben Sandwich and it was great! Perfect amount of pastrami, sauerkraut and dressing. We'll definitely be back next time we're in Wadesboro.

Absolute home run in Anson Co/Wadesboro. We were driving thru town looking for lunch and so glad we stumbled upon this place. Wings were top notch and turkey club w/ fries excellent. Beer was only $3.50 too! Was surprised by the very well decorated atmosphere, excellent food, very reasonable prices, and Kimberly our server was perfect too. Can't wait too come back and try it again.

We are headed to Myrtle Beach and needed to stop somewhere for lunch! This was great! Food was diverse and really really good. Service was awesome and quick!

Great place to eat. The owners are wonderful and the food is extremely good. Our favorites: Fried Pickles, Turkey Club, Salad bar, and the Prime Rib on the weekends. The desserts are always yummy and homemade.

Tasty food, great atmosphere, friendly service, super slow. I recommend it if you're not in a hurry.

What a wonderful find! Excellent service and amazing food. The prime rib special of the evening was done perfectly and served with an au jus that was tasteful and not salty, and a house made horseradish that was a great compliment, all for a very reasonable price. I'll definitely return.

Really enjoyed our pit stop here from Charlotte to the beach. Cute little place. Had one lunch special of pork tacos and they were delicious. Also got the salad bar which was impressive lots of fresh toppings! Will definitely stop here again.

Very good lunch and desert. I had the garden salad with chicken and it was very good. Chicken was moist and hot. We also had the Apple Cranberry pie al la mode. Wow. Very good. A new favorite place for lunch.

What a great surprise! Stopped at Oliver's for lunch on the way to the beach & didn't want fast food. It was excellent! Small menu but my friend and I totally enjoyed it. She had a steak sandwich - HUGE! I had a delicious turkey Reuben. Fries are fabulous. Decor is historically interesting. Can't go wrong here, folks!

This place is a gem.... great food and friendly service! Oliver's makes Wadesboro a destination rather than just a place to drive through on the way to the beach. Everything was delicious..... fried brussels sprouts, chicken salad, house cut chips, warm brownie dessert.

Had a great lunch at Oliver's. Had the fried pickles for an appetizer and the cowboy burger special. Unlike the other reviewer I enjoyed the homemade chips, but they are a little thicker than most restaurants. Next time I'm in Wadesboro, I'll be eating here again!

I stopped with a coworker at Oliver's after doing an Internet search regarding the best places to eat on our three-hour route. Oliver's did not disappoint and, in fact, exceeded the great reviews I read! Everything is homemade and delicious. I had broccoli and cheese soup that was very tasty, creamy but not too thick and very flavorful. Then, the chicken salad on a homemade croissant was beyond delicious. The croissant was flaky and buttery, and the all-white meat chicken salad with pineapples and slivered almonds was delectable. I was lucky enough to get the last one, so I guess I am not alone in this assessment. My coworker had the hand battered mushroom appetizer - I had a few and they were melt-in-your mouth yummy. He loved his chicken wings. I will definitely return next time I am in the area and will be trying one of the homemade desserts. The descriptions of the various bread puddings and cheesecakes sounded amazing. Finally, the service was impeccable - our waiter Chris was wonderful and we had the pleasure of meeting the lovely owner, Elizabeth. All-around terrific dining experience. I will be finding a reason to get back to Wadesboro ASAP!

Love love love the food. I just wish that they would deliver! PLEASE start delivering to us here in Wadesboro! I'd order every week if I could have it delivered. Why not use the service GRUBHUB? It would not only be creating jobs for delivery workers but you'd reach more people!

Asian chicken salad was great with homemade dressing! Great brisket dinner the sweet potato casserole tastes exactly like my grandma used to make it's really wonderful. But you gotta save room for desert the chocolate chip cheesecake is also exactly like grandma! The chocolate cheesecake really is so good, the red velvet brownies with cream cheese frosting also absolutely amazing. If your in the area or going through definitely need to stop by and grab a bite and desert!!

Called for a curb side order. The guy that answered the phone was really friendly! I have worked in the restaurant business for 30+years. I ordered a burger and wings. Good food and service in these trying times. The girl who brought my food to my car was really nice.

The meatloaf special was really good, but the five stars is because the people in the bar area were fantastic. Love this place.

Poor service, reservation ignored. Horrible experience, will not be returning. We had made a reservation and when we got there the hostess told us, 'oh, I wasn't here yesterday, so I didn't know about your reservation. Then walked off and proceeded to ignore us. Needless to say we didn't stay for dinner. Overrated & overpriced with extremely poor customer service.
