Olive Ridley's Restaurant

We picked a great time to show up for dinner. Almost no crowds. Only did appetizers and drinks but would definitely show up for a full meal. We had, bbq wings, loaded beer cheese and bacon Fry's and a chicken quesadilla.

Stopped in on a whim (Wednesday evening) while downtown. It wasn't busy so no wait for service or seating. Gorgeous summer evening and warm temps made it perfect for outdoor dining. I haven't been here since pre-pandemic years so it was nice to finally return. As always the wait staff was kind and attentive. Definitely recommend for a nice dinner aside from the usual bar, music and karaoke.

As advertised - which is a compliment. Not expected high end cuisine. Was seated immediately and had drinks in hand in less than 5 minutes. Relatively quiet for late Thursday afternoon. Waiter was exceptionally friendly and attentive, even with pulling double duty behind the bar. Pro tip: This place is popular with the college crowd, especially if the Naked Turtle is closed… she get in and out before that crowd starts trickling in or else it’ll get a nosier and the language more colorful (if you have a kiddo with you).

We got the buffalo chicken flat bread, buffalo chicken mac and cheese and the crab Rangoon dip. All were absolutely delicious. A little disappointed they didn't have crab Mac n cheese like pictures in the reviews but it was still so good. 😍 We'll be back!

Love the staff here; front end, bouncers, bar staff & kitchen staff. Their chef/cook Katy is WONDERFUL. The entire staff treats you like family and friends.
