Reviews for The Black Olive - Downtown in Johnson City, TN
I used to love their spicy bowtie chicken but have been disappointed with the quality lately, especially this last time. The... chicken and mushrooms are such thick chunks, where they used to be sliced thin and have a good flavor but the chicken is blandand the mushrooms are pungent, almost as if they were canned. I ordered online and selected primos bread but was given one ofthe big loafs rather than the thin garlic toast I requested. Next time I will have to try something different because they havereally missed the mark with this dish lately. Read more
If you've been to The Black Olive in Jonesborough or Elizabethton, don't expect this to be a similar restaurant. The food is... excellent, but the atmosphere is not really family feel. It is definitely catering to a more urban / big city crowd. They alsocharge higher prices for the exact same menu items in the other locations. They have menus per location on their website andprices are significantly higher at the downtown location. Read more

Phenomenal service and food. We stopped here because everywhere else had a minimum 1.5 hour wait in downtown on a Saturday. We... were able to seat here immediately (assuming because the location is newer) and this place is honestly worth having to wait for.Service was incredibly quick and friendly. Food was far exceeded our expectations. We ordered a Margarita pizza, pesto Alfredo,and black olive special (the chicken parm is a must). We will be back. Thank you! Read more

Good and rich food, albeit a bit pricey. The pasta dish pictured was $18 - and I was still slightly hungry afterwards. Extra... bread is charged at 50¢. It's a nice restaurant for an occasional fancy outing. Read more
We started with a half carafe of Chardonnay coupled with their Zucchini appetizer that was wonderful! Asiago mashed potatoes... were a hit! We will be back! Read more
went on black friday for dinner. parking was close and easy to find which surprised me. atmosphere was relaxed and warm. prices... were less than i expected for a good italian meal with cocktails. shrimp scampi paired well with a sauvignon blanc and thetiramisu was delicious! will return again with a bigger group! service was fast and very friendly.
