Ollie's Duck Dive - Malibu

Come one come all! Feel the jive at Ollie's Duck Dive! The atmosphere for anyone dress up or dress down, The staff so pleasant filling my heart of pure glee, The campfire cookie cooked in cast iron, It melts in your mouth like a delectable siren, The bison so tasty it's like a myth from the sea. This is a definite 5 Stars I decree!

Found this place through Yelp. It wasn't amazing or awful just mediocre. Nice restaurant that looks clean. We got the fish and chips, was not good at all (especially for the price they are charging) The breading had no flavor and was very thick. The fried chicken sandwich was good but basic. This is a place that I would not return, nothing special. AND THEY CHARGE EXTRA FOR FRENCH FRIES. burger came with taro chips......

I love Ollie's! Everything I've had there was fresh, healthy and filling. I've tried a lot of their menu items and the top 3 that stand out in my mind as being superb include: 1. the beet and arugula salad with goat cheese and a light and healthy dressing I couldn't get enough it was so flavorful! 2. the lemon rosemary artichoke was to die for, as if it had just come off the grill! 3. the blackened salmon on a bed of roasted corn also to die for! I'll definitely be back and probably try everything on the menu!

My second time here, both work lunches, and it's safe to say I'm a fan. Both occasions we were here it was relatively slow. I can imagine Ollie's being a popular after work hangout as there are plenty of gastropub bar selections to please almost anyone. During my visits I've enjoyed the build-your-own burger option with the very tasty fries. It's a great feature with many options to customize your meal however, adds up quickly! My friend was surprised how much he liked the duck dip (as well as the portion size). It was a savory dish but he indicated it was worth every tasty drop. Definitely pay the extra for the fries as it's worth the 2 upgrade. Service has been good on both occasions and quite attentive. It seems to get a little chilly on overcast days especially with the unique outdoor seating on the perimeter. Parking can be a challenge at times in this particular shopping center but overall Ollie's is worth it.

Might be because we came right when they were open, but we had great service from three separate workers. We loved the hostess! I was extremely disappointed they didn't have the duck dive burger so I settled for a breakfast burrito. This is why I gave 4 stars. My breakfast burrito was hefty and the sauce added a nice tang that was much needed because the egg, rice, and beans in the burrito wrap was very carby. The eggs were fluffy and had good bite. It was incredibly filling. The salad was lightly acidic and full of the fronds that were harder to fit in an average mouth, but it was nice! We came on the 4th of July and appreciated that the playlist matched the theme of the day haha. The space and facilities are nice. I wish there was a hook in the bathroom!
