Olive or Twist - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Great place for a drink. Excellent cocktails and selection.

Food is okay but definitely not a highlight. That's why the 3* food rating but the drinks are definitely 5*

Came here on a date almost a year ago and again on a date last weekend. Originally came here bc this was in an article for best place to get drinks in BR list. Definitely not disappointed. The drinks and cocktails are great you can tell there's a mixologist that understands ingredients. There's plenty of selection in beers and various types of alcohol in the bottle.

The place is slightly on the small side and parking is limited and will most likely require u to park in other areas to come over. However they are open late and make it a cool hole in the wall spot to go to have have some drinks with friends or on a date

An experience. The appetizers came out and were fantastic as was the first round of drinks. Things started going downhill after. For a Saturday night at about 8pm they were out of drink ingredients?!? I found that strange but the inability to order due to certain items also being out of stock. The Sam's Club french fries were as expected but the plastic fork just made the experience everything I knew this was going to be. The eclectic collection of barware that trickled to the table is reminiscent of the donated glassware from your grandparents at the Goodwill. The portions are extremely small, the flavor was basic. Cocktails were the best part, but nothing to make a detour to go see.

I’m visiting from out of town and was told the brunch here was unmatched. William and Austin took care of us at the bar and even made us this cute little lemon head. Also, for my expresso martinis lovers, William POPPED OFF. Look at this presentation! I recommend this place 10/10 and will be back. Also, food was delicious.

I came with my brother, 2 nephews and my child to get out the house and enjoy the day a little and it was slightly ruined by this experience. The restaurant was hot like the air was broken. The ladies room was filthy. The floors were dirty and sticky. My nephew had chicken and waffles and said his food was under seasoned and the waffle was nasty. My child enjoyed her burger. My brother said his food was overcooked. And my shrimp and grits came w more sauce than grits so I ordered more grits. However, when I went to put the extra grits in w the original dish served I found a bug in the bottom of them and could not eat any of it. They made another shrimp and grits to go for me. However, they packed the grits in one container, shrimp in another, and just put the sauce in the bottom of the box that two other containers set inside of. That’s unsanitary and I now can’t enjoy what’s left of the sauce which defeats the purpose of the dish a little bit. By the time I made it home, most of the sauce leaked into the bag and my car. Then the waiter added gratuity for 4 people who were wildly unpleased with the overall experience. Thing is I was going to tip him well for his efforts but that was a whole lot of audacity for him to do so himself. Ps the manager never came out to acknowledge or apologize for the bug in my food. Never coming back and don’t recommend.

Absolutely amazing experience. Bartender was very friendly and helpful (wish I got his name). Even though this was my first time coming in, he made it feel as though I was a regular. I arrived for happy hour on a Tuesday afternoon/evening. Wasn’t too packed but mostly everyone sat at the bar. The bartender informed me of the happy hour deals including food, drinks on the menu and on the “Happy Hour,” board. I ordered the French 75, bramble and a black, blue and bacon burger. So delicious! The blue cheese is not like anything I’ve ever had before. It’s thick but not too much and very flavorful. Fries are seasoned very well and the ketchup kind up taste like it’s mixed with hot sauce with a subtle amount of spice.

Great little place for a chill vibe, even when it got busy. Didn't like that you had to order from the bar even when sitting at a table, but there was a bartender there that saved the day! Can't recall her name, however she is a red bone with long dreads and tattoos. She not only gave us service at the table when she could, she made the most amazing drinks, and extremely knowledgeable about her craft. The food wasn't that good but nem drinks was fye!!

After church you wanna find that place that just lets you relax. I am learning that this is hard to do because you are in competition with everyone else.
Called ahead and found out that they don’t take reservations so this only made me want to get there that much faster. Parking is tight and so you may have to park and walk. The restaurant is hipster in decor with both inside and outside seating which made me like it that much more.
Our server was awesome in taking our order and being awesome over all. The food is priced right about 15$ per person and the quantity is not skimpy. My only complaint is that the potatoes were really over seasoned. I ate it all because it was so good. Get there early or you may be waiting a while. And it’s worth the early drive.

I’d love to give zero stars if I can. Normally the place is great but TODAY Terrible! Came here with my family, sat at a table outside & waiter 30 minutes just to get greeted & a glass of water. Eventually the manager came to the table & told us they were short staffed and there’s nothing he could help us with. Terrible staff and terrible manager. His name is James by the way. As a person who works in a restaurant this was terrible service, terrible attitudes & I will not be coming back! EVER
