Faith has played a big role in Picklesimer’s life, helping inspire and motivate her through the process of creating, and even sparked the name for the eatery. “I was at work one day and thinking about things like growing up in North Carolina, and I was like, ‘Well, maybe I'll bring something homey here for us , ’ ” said Picklesimer. “The street we grew up on was Olive Drive.” Picklesimer explains the meaning of the olive branch in the Bible ; Noah was gifted an olive branch from a dove, symbolizing peace and deliverance after the flood. “When I left work that day, I drove past a building north of mine called The Lonesome Dove , and that was my confirmation it was supposed to be The Olive Branch,” Picklesimer explained. The restaurant’s menu features breakfast sandwiches, burritos, French toast, and waffles, along with soups, salads, sandwiches, desserts, and a kids' menu. Desserts include tarts, muffins, scones, and turnovers. “I think my breakfast favorite is our Ultimate Breakfast Sandwich ,” said Picklesimer. “It's one we did as a special, and then ended up adding it on our full menu.”
