Ww got that at 11:15 monday morning, they ooen at 11 and it filled up very quickly. All tables full by the time we left. We ordered the stuffed squash ala Carte for $7, it was delicious and didn’t disappoint. Hubby had gyro plate with taboule, I had a gyro that was delish, I love how my pita bread was grilled and warmed. Very glad to have found this place, best I have had since moving south. It is a bit dated inside but it works

Decent food, but with an American twist.
For some weird reason, they ignored us for 5 mins before they came up to get us seated. I’ve got the chicken deluxe gyro, which did not taste authentic. While I wouldn’t say it tasted bad, it’s just not the gyro you would normally eat; It was ‘alright’. However, they put too much cheese which ruined the taste a lil bit (no traditional gyro has cheese on it).
The fries were really good. I’m not sure what seasoning it came with, but it just made the fries taste better. The size of the gyro and the quantity of the fries was good, considering the price, and is definitely filling for one.
My friend had the Kibbeh plate, which he, again, noted was okayish.
The ambiance was a little strange for me considering we went into a Mediterranean restaurant (not that it’s bad). It resembled a diner, strangely.

Small local business with delicious food! They give you a good portion of food for your order. I ordered the chicken pita wrap and the chicken was a little dry but aside from that, everything else was tasty. The staff was very helpful and there are outdoor eating options. It was a nice surprise for the area of Alabama we visited.

This is one of our favorite restaurants. We eat here about once a week and we love it. The people who work here feel like family and they’ve always be so kind to us. We cannot recommend Olive Branch enough!

This is a small restaurant serving excellent authentic Greek food. The food is prepared in an open kitchen and served in Pyrex style dishes. The portions are very large, and the food is scrumptious! If you’re looking for fantastic Greek food, this is the place!

I will say the food isn’t bad but the service is pretty terrible. I don’t understand why they say that they close at 9 PM on the weekends because last weekend we got there at 8:00 on the dot 50 minutes before they were supposed to close and we parked outside ready to get out of our car and they saw us and immediately turned off the open sign and locked the doors. I thought it was really rude because I’ve never been to a restaurant where they closed 50 minutes before the closing time. That’s why we went to Taziki‘s instead. Next time If y’all say y’all close at 9 p.m Don’t close 50 min before.

Olive Branch is open! Same great food and tiny space. We found the stuffed grape leaves delicious and the salads huge! We had a lunch special gyro plate and a gyro salad. Both were delicious, presented well and were made fresh to order. Their taziki sauce is good but not your typical sauce. We will def be going back. They really fill up quickly so plan on arriving early.

We had lunch here earlier today and we enjoyed the time there as well as the delicious Mediterranean cuisine. Service was good and the kitchen was quick to respond. Our server was friendly and helpful. The gyro special is great. Keep in mind it’s a platter and not a sandwich but you can get it as a sandwich (inside a pita) by simply asking. The Greek chicken soup is especially comforting. They also serve wine and beer. It’s a small place so get there early or be prepared to sit on the outside deck which is nice during warmer times of the year.
We will definitely be going back.

My favorite place to eat in the area! The gyro is packed with meat and extremely flavorful. After I eat I look forward to the next time I eat here again. Service is always fast and pleasant.
