    Chicken Lunch Specials
    Kaitlyn D.

    Great service very friendly. Smaller spot but fit lots of people. Incredible lunch prices! 13.50 for a massive plate. Food was great!

    Lunch Special - Gyro w/Tabbouleh Salad
    Paul C.

    I love this independent, family-owned and operated restaurant. It is located only a few blocks from the Summit shopping complex, and is a great alternative to the chain restaurants located there. The food, atmosphere, and service is much more personal than you will find in most of the cookie-cutter restaurants at the Summit. The Olive Branch was busy when my friend Robin and I met for lunch, We sat at the bar which was very comfortable. Service was fast and efficient. We both ordered the lunch special. I ordered gyro with tabbouli salad. The portion was huge, and it was beautiful. The bright red and greens of the tabbouli were a nice background to the neatly carved gyro. It was obvious that everything was very fresh. I thought the gyro was a little dry. The dipping sauce was very good, and It had a little spice to it. The tabbouli was very good, and three cubes of feta were a nice touch. The pita and hummus were good. The lunch portion is very large, and Robin took some of her's home for later. Robin recommends the Stuffed Squash and the Stuffed Grapes leaves. Both sound like something I want to try next time.

    Salmon entree

    Olive Branch is such a great go to for a healthy meal! I had the salmon entrée with a healthy portion of salmon over rice. Just a little bit of hummus and pita, and your choice of Greek salad or tabouleh salad. I did Greek and it was absolutely great. The salmon was cooked so well and the meal is very filling. My girlfriend got the gyro with a side of hummus. Packed with yumminess! If you haven't been, you must try this place!

    Great food and great service every time. We came in with a party of 6 and they immediately started rearranging the tables to be able to seat our party in their dining room (it was raining outside or else we would have gladly moved our party out there, since it's more spacious).

    Gyro Deluxe with fries

    I was pleasantly surprised with Olive Branch. The food was fresh and the portions were large. I especially enjoyed the gyro sandwich. The fries were fresh and crispy. The restaurant is on the smaller size but still plenty of seating room. You can even see the kitchen staff cooking upon entry. I can't wait to try more menu items!

    Yummiest Tea in town
    Sandy D.

    Delicious!!! Let me tell you about the sweet tea... Have you ever had a hankering for sweet tea only to get a full glass of ice with some tasteless, warm, brownish water... and it basically looks like they took the teabag and dunked it in a few times then added way too much sugar?!?! Well the Olive Branches sweet tea is not that!! Seriously, the yummiest tea in town! My choice for lunch was the Gyro and fries and it was spot on delicious!! The pita bread, gyro meat and sauce were perfect! I am not a french fry lover but I tried one and next thing I knew I had eaten half of them. The ambience is welcoming and homey. Our waitress was awesome, and even brought us a to go tea when she brought our ticket to the table. We will definitely be making Olive Branch, one of our "go to" places here in Birmingham and judging by how busy they were pretty sure everyone else does too! Do yourself a favor and get lunch at the Olive Branch soon!!!

    The place was packed and very noisy. The food was ok. They charged my card double for the meal. Stay away from this dishonest place.

    The lemon chicken soup is absolutely amazing. The portion size of the sampler is enough to feed 4 people easily! Highly recommend!

    Costa's Mediterranean Cafe In Trussville - Ceaser salad with grilled salmon  Add onions & tomatoes

    Costa's Mediterranean Cafe In Trussville

    (108 reviews)

    I was craving cheesecake. I never crave cheesecake. I browsed yelp for some recommendations but…read morenothing blew my mind. I ended up coming to Costas since it's really a staple in my area. I wanted cherry cheesecake ( I looooove cherries) but they were out of cherries, so I ended up with strawberry instead. The slice size was adequate and tasty. Price point @ $7 a slice was reasonable. The to go service was pretty fast & friendly.

    I've eaten here on several occasions but never left a review until now. Shameful. I visited here…read morebecause I wanted to try their pastichio, only to discover it's no longer on the menu. My server, who was super friendly and helpful, stated that the Hoover location still serves it but due to the lengthy process it takes to make it, this location does not offer it anymore. While I was disappointed to find this out, my food made up for it. At my server's suggestion, I ordered the baked ziti lunch special for $10.95. The special came with salad and a breadstick and a healthy serving of baked ziti. I wanted Greek dressing with my salad, but quickly realized that that was not the right choice. It looked more like balsamic vinaigrette and was very tart. I usually eat Greek dressing when dining out but maybe theirs is.....very unique. Maybe I received the wrong dressing. All I know is I couldn't finish my salad because of it. The breadstick was warm and comforting and the baked ziti was very rich and cheesy. It was a delicious and robust choice that didn't break the bank and helped to ease my disappointment on missing out on the pastichio. The server (who kept saying she had been there for 18 years) was excellent albeit really talkative. Not necessarily a bad thing so don't think that it is. There's something nostalgic about this restaurant. It's older but it's still in good shape. It's a huge place with plenty of seating as the place is never crowded the times I've been on the weekend. As an introvert, I actually appreciate that fact. I'll definitely return as I always do when I'm in the mood for rich Italian cuisine.
