Everytime we go it is a little bit slow to get a drink order and food order but it is worth the wait as I still go back everytime. The food is excellent and look forward to it all day. Even though it can be very slow at times it doesn’t change that the food is fresh and enjoyable.

Been here a few times in the past, always easy, used to be cheap n cheerful! Not now. dear me... massive price hike..... I know stuff has gone up but c'mon. ...this is pizzas and pastas here not top drawer cuisine Will be rethinking our quick lunch/tea out next time as it won't be here at these prices. Also do think they stick extra drinks on the bill as it's not itemised you can't tell so they're either over priced too or adding on. Be careful of bill

I have visited O&J at Westerhope many times in recent years and have always found it to be an amazing restaurant . The staff are always very welcoming , friendly and yet professional . The food is excellent and you are never rushed into selecting your choice of food and drinks from their menu . I would certainly recommend a visit here …. you will not be disappointed . If you enjoy good service and good food and drinks at a fair price then visit O&J Westerhope soon .

First visit to Oli & Joes - lovely set up restaurant with a nice atmosphere and very pleasant and attentive staff. I thought being an Italian restaurant, that the pizza would be typically Italian. It arrived and looked just like one I could get out of a supermarket freezer aisle, though they tend to have more flavour. I found it very bland and was quite disappointed if I’m honest. So great staff and service, but food left us a bit flat.

Check your bill. Overcharged £6 and when this was politely raised by myself the gentleman insisted we had ordered off the 3 course menu (we hadn’t) without asking the waitress. If he hadn’t saida second time that we had ordered off 3 course menu I would not have posted this review. Food was good but our experience was very bad. Won’t be back.

I have never been in such a loud restaurant. The noise level of both customers and staff hurt my ears and my husband and I were unable to have a conversation. The food wasn't bad but was overpriced - over £50 for two main courses and two drinks. This is because all sides are charged for. Not an experience We will repeat.

Our 90+ years old parents, grand & great grand parents were celebrating 70 years of marriage. Having had a lunchtime visit to the restaurant a few weeks ago, & deciding that this was where they wanted to have a family gathering, the booking was made. The 30ish numbers were confirmed a week before the due day, with peoples choices of luncheon meals, all simple & pain free. Come the big day, the welcome, service, making sure everyone had drinks, and then the meal being served, were all so well done. Marshalled superbly by the lovely Angela and her brilliant, helpful, smiling team of servers. Everyone was most complimentary regarding the various meal choices, ranging from roast Sunday dinners (beef, lamb, & chicken) to pizzas and pasta. Following the meal, with tables cleared promptly, the real socialising continued and more drinks were taken. From the arrival at 12:30 until around 6:30 when the last of us left, the entire day was a lovely celebration of, and for, two amazing people. Thank you to all at Olli & Joe's :-)

Called in with husband for a quick bite took advantage of the happy hour menu we ordered extra garlic bread with cheese and had two cokes, we chose not to have the coffee or the ice cream as we didn’t have time, food was good, but I couldn’t finish my pasta as full, so we asked for the bill it was £31 and pennies so we gave £40 and waited for them to bring the change to leave a tip, and we waited and waited and waited over 10 minutes went by and I said I’m going to the toilet so walked past the counter 4 members of staff chatting so I went came back and asked have you had change yet he advise no so went to counter and said can we have our change please they looked at me and said oh there’s your change and pushed a ready waiting plastic plate with £2.50 on it towards me I advised this is not our change, she said yeah it is I said our bill was £31 odd and we gave you £40 so that’s not right she looked around at the other staff and after a minute debating she turned round and picked up the plate with our £40 still on it and then gave us our correct change what a disgrace it was embarrassing it was like they’d kept us waiting so long that we would just leave (we still left a tip but not what we were going to) the guy also asked when I was finished are you sure you don’t want to take your left overs home then persuaded us to but upon opening the carton at home there was hardly anything in and no garlic bread Food was good but service at end was atrocious not happy to be made to feel this way, we won’t be back

De pie en la puerta durante 20 minutos siendo empujado, sin distanciamiento social. La pareja que vino después de nosotros con una reserva de 1945 se sentaron antes que nosotros porque llegaron primero al banco, toman demasiadas reservas al mismo tiempo, necesitan escalonarlas y también aceptaron entradas fuera de la calle sin reserva que dejamos.

La oferta habitual en su menú no está incluida en el 50% de "comer fuera para ayudar", con razón o sin ella. No se sienta culpable por reservar e irse al enterarse de este hecho, ya que no se sabe antes de la reserva; no me sienta bien y me hace preferir a Lucianos y Achellos para futuras reservas.El distanciamiento social no está bien hecho (no se toman detalles, puede estar bastante ocupado).Pidió Coca-Cola Light pero nos dio una Coca-Cola normal. No es gran cosa, los errores ocurren, pero contribuyeron a nuestra propia impresión general.Disfrutamos la comida, para ser justos, no estuvo mal. El servicio fue bastante rápido y decente.El sistema de facturación no es muy formal: notas escritas a mano, que cuando se cuestionan, calculan incorrectamente (no es una gran cantidad, pero estas cosas son importantes).Le di un 2 porque hemos tenido buenas experiencias allí antes y la comida es decente, pero nuestra experiencia reciente nos hizo pensarlo dos veces como restaurante local.

We always go to Ollie and Joe's for family birthdays so I didn't want to disappoint my son by not going this year and I'm pleased I didn't. The food was lovely as always, the tables have been rearranged to be socially distanced, staff are wearing masks, linen table cloths have been replaced with plastic and every table is thoroughly cleaned after each customer with antibacterial spray. There are numerous hand sanitizers throughout the restaurant and the staff still have their usual bubbly, friendly attitudes. Well done to all the staff we will definitely be back..........

I also got a garlic bread and that was cold too.I rang the restaurant to advise them that the meal was cold and uneatable and the woman who answered the phone denied even having the order from just eat.I confirmed this with just eat and as I was on the phone I missed 4 calls from the restaurant and when I rang back a man answered the phone and said he knew nothing about my order and if I was not happy to call back between 9am to 5pm and speak to someone.The staff are rude and disrespectful .

Today we thought we would have a treat from Oli and Joe's our local Italian in which we regularly go and order from. We placed an order through just eat and the order was fast and come before the delivery time. Now on to the food. Normally all the food is delicious and never once had a problem but today it really wasnt up to standard. Fish cake ( which we order quite alot ) had 2 small baby prawns and the fest potatoe, no proper fish and that would of been fine but they just tasted and smelled of vinegar which is really off putting, they ended up in the bin. The Penne Alfono was alright, luckily my daughter still liked it, there was hardly any pasta, hardly any mince and swimming in sauce was almost like a pasta soup. But it did still have plenty of ham in and the sauce was tasty. Everything was pretty Luke harm and had to be heated up, and we do not like far from the restaurant. The cheese garlic bread and potatoe skins were delicious as always just needed heating up which is fine. I know this is a hard time for the restaurant and bad circumstances but we were very disappointed and have never been before. Over all it was alright and would order again in the hope this is just a one off as this is one of our favourite restaurants.

Everyone else seemed really happy with their meals as well. Only down side is that the service seemed a little slow. This could just be due the fact that it was a busy Friday night though.

Nuestro grupo visitó el restaurante Oli & Joe's esta semana y el servicio, la comida y el personal fueron fantásticos. Nos habían recomendado este restaurante por amigos que habían estado y nos alegramos de haberlo hecho. Cuando llegamos, el gerente nos recibió individualmente, nos dio la bienvenida a todos y nos guió a la sala de estar, el personal se tomó el tiempo para asegurarse de que teníamos todo lo que necesitábamos, explicaron el extenso menú y ofrecieron asesoramiento y se aseguraron de que todos recibieran exactamente lo que queríamos. El personal del Bar fue particularmente servicial al servir nuestras bebidas y llevarlas a la mesa si fuera necesario. Como todos teníamos una discapacidad visual, esto era especialmente importante, nada era un problema. Todos nuestros miembros estuvieron de acuerdo en que este era un lugar fantástico para nosotros y estoy seguro de que volveremos muy pronto.

Great experience in the side room. It was comfortable; the meal was good and hot. The waiters were excellent and nothing was too much trouble for them. We had 8 young children with us and they were very obliging with high chairs and food allergies. Couldn't fault it. Lovely

Absolute daylight robbery on arriving home with my take away meal exactly half of it was missing. I won't be returning. They took my phone number when I ordered my meal but made no attempt to contact me when I rang up to complain.

Lovely little restaurant situated in Westerhope that is the west of the city. Oli and Joe's is a nice little place to get something to eat on the way up to Hadrian's Wall or a stop off from the A1 to the a69, heading west towards Carlisle or or East towards Newcastle. We have found and that the food in the restaurant is lovely and at a very reasonable priced menu. The staff are very helpful even though no they are running round serving on tables. They still have the time to stop and give advice on the facilities in and around Newcastle, Gateshead Metrocentre and Hadrian's Wall. It is basically a very nice warm homely little restaurant with nice prices and and hospitable staff, who are a credit to the northeast many thanks.

We booked a reservation for 7 adults & two chilren. We all opted for the set lunch at £9.99 for 3 courses. The minestrone soup was almost a meal in itself. Tasty, seems such a small word to describe it. It had more ' body' to it than Arnold Schwarzennegar. At just £2 extra pp. we all chose sweets from a comprehensive dessert menu. These too didn't fail to be appreciated and satisfy. The staff could not have been more helpful or convivial, than if they had been our actual family.

Popped in with three of my kids today for lunch. As always the food was beautiful. The service was fantastic, friendly and fast. Couldn’t fault it at all. The best tomato garlic bread I’ve ever had. Love it at Oli and Joes, will go back soon.

Me and a friend visited for the lunchtime special and since our meal both of us have been vomiting and had bad stomachs !! Our Lunch date has turned into a nightmare of being to unwell to go to our jobs. Food Hygiene clearly needs improved. We won’t be coming again for the risk of getting food poisoning again.

We visit here around once a month. The food is excellent and they have great offers on too. It’s a lovely friendly, warm environment that’s created by the staff and that’s really what makes this place so great. They make a fuss over my daughter and she gets a lolly at the end too. They are very accommodating and always so welcoming. Wish we got the chance to go more often.

Después de la tan sabrosa fuente de pescado que informé en julio (así como de una variedad de nuestros favoritos de O & J desde entonces) finalmente pudimos probar Surf & Turf. Dios mío, ¡justo cuando crees que no puede mejorar! ¡Otro "must have" de hecho!

Always greeted with a warm welcome by lovely friendly staff, the food is always delicious, never had a bad meal there and we've had quite a few as it is very local. The quality and menu choice is second to none and the prices are also great. If you're looking for somewhere to go and enjoy a good quality meal with the kids or celebrate a special occasion that doesn't cost you an arm and a leg then I'd definitely recommend you pop in to Oli & Joe's and guarantee you won't be disappointed.

I’ll start with WOW! Easily the best steak I’ve ever eaten out in the UK. Blows other steak house restaurants around Newcastle out of the water. We recently spent some time in Argentina and the food is very authentic. Service was impeccable too. Special mentions to Angela who went above and beyond for us. Can not wait to come back and will be raving and recommending to everyone I know. A real great spot.
