Olive Branch serves Mediterranean and Italian cuisine. Their menu has salads, pasta, kabobs, sandwiches, and more. For beverages, they have soft drinks and a small menu of beers and wines. I got the shrimp kabob which was deliciously marinated and came with warm pita, hummus, greek salad, and tzatziki! It was very filling and extremely enjoyable! Service was also quick and our waitress was friendly. A great place for a family dinner or lunch. read more

Olive Branch - Shrimp kabob - Mediterranean Near Me - Greenwood, South Carolina

We've visited Olive Branch several times and have yet to be disappointed. My wife usually orders from the Mediterranean menu and has enjoyed all of the dishes. I usually choose from the Italian side and have enjoyed all of my meals. I'm a garlic bread lover and would like more with my dinner. The beer and wine selection is a bit limited, but seems to be expanding. read more

The olive branch did not disappoint, as a matter of fact it exceeded my expectations. The pizza was 1000/10, the crust was spectacular, the cheese was delicious. The ambiance was very calm and welcoming, plus it was very clean. Our waitress was very nice and friendly. Prompt service, our pizza came out in less than 8 minutes. read more

We are always on the hunt for Mediterranean Fare. The outside and inside look inviting. We chose this place because we looked up the menu online & prices seemed good with good selections. I ordered a Greek salad for around $11-12. When it came out, it was just a bowl full of iceberg lettuce, ONE (1) grape tomato, one (1) cucumber slice, a couple pickles & maybe 3-4 slices of banana pepper and an olive or two. I called the waitress over and asked why I only had one grape tomato. She actually admitted that's all they put on a large salad that would feed maybe 3-4 people. So who fights over the tomato or the olive or the cucumber slice) and there were No walnuts as listed. I sent it back. Never ate it. I'm not paying for a bowl of iceberg lettuce. Then, my husband ordered the Kefta Kabob. Online the item is $14. In fact everywhere online it's $14. When we got our bill, it was $23. My husband didn't look because we had already decided from the online menus. The small cheese pizza for our granddaughter was ok but tasted more like a frozen pizza. The weirdest crazy part of it all was after waiting forever to get our bill, the waitress (who was very nice) said that she felt bad that I didn't get to eat so she paid for my salad. I asked if the management blamed her & made her pay. She said no- she just wanted to do a nice gesture. I said unless you are being forced to pay for it, you realize I sent back something I didn't eat and to say you felt bad I didn't eat, that you paid for it makes no sense. Will never go back. read more

Very great little spot in Greenwood. Mediterranean flare (Italian, Greece). Had the Penne Al Vodka with chicken. Came out piping hot and with a large buttered bread. It had a ton of flavor. The beer and wine is limited only my brands. They have all the staples for each category you need. Very friendly staff. Great little gem. The pizzas looked amazing. I was jealous I didn't order one as I saw others being delivered read more

We didn't even know this place existed. It's well hidden off the main road, but so worth the visit!! We were met with a very nice and informative waitress. The food was fabulous! It was flavorful the plates are loaded with food when they come out. The restaurant is clean and well laid out. The bathrooms are also super clean. We took home four additional plates and the food was fresh and delicious. They offer a drive thru for those of you who don't have time for a sit down dinner in a restaurant. Will definitely be back!! read more

Great local spot! My husband had a calzone (absolutely massive) that was stuffed to the brim with pepperoni and meats galore. I had a Greek salad with gyro meat and it was delicious, house made dressing and generous amounts of meat that was well seared. Bathrooms were very clean and nice. Decor inside was cute as well! read more

A small family restaurant with personal service in Greenwood SC. We dine here on a regular basis. Food is individually prepared with quality ingredients. Wait times vary but reasonable. Music is rich based on the ambiance and flavor of the cuisine. This place promises nice experience. read more

Let me start with the server we had was very nice and super accommodating and honestly she deserves a better place to serve at because the food we had was a monstrosity. Call Gordon Ramsey because this was a kitchen nightmare. My fiancé and I agreed the best part of the meal was the wine we had. The garlic bread was hardly even cooked and slathered in butter not toasted in the slightest. We both ordered pasta and mine should have came with penne but we were told that it was too late for them to make penne at 7:30pm so I had to have spaghetti or fettuccine noodles with my penne all vodka with chicken. On top of that our pasta came out extremely watery and tasted worse than a jar sauce. The chicken was yellow in the most unappealing way. I took two bites and could not eat anything more. Definitely save yourself of the trouble and don't eat here. After we made them aware we were unhappy, the chef came out to say he could make it with penne and when we declined he shrugged us off like shit on his shoe. We were told we could come back for a free meal but there was zero voucher to indicate we were told this. Very very disappointed. DO BETTER. read more

Would not recommend especially for the price. The hummus tasted like it came from the grocery store. Ordered the eggplant parmegiano-definitely not fresh made sauce. Guess you can't get spaghetti noodles wrong, so that part was fine. Also ordered the Greek Chicken salad. Chicken was dry and tasted like it was made earlier and sat around. Dressing was some weird mix of Greek/Italian/honey mustard. Terrible. Definitely will be not be back nor recommend to anyone. read more

Food was absolutely DELICIOUS!!! There are very respectful workers at Olive Branch and there is a lot to choose from. I definitely recommend coming here especially if you have a big group of family or friends, because you will not be disappointed. Come back and thank me later read more

Had the chicken parmesan. It was delicious and a very good portion size. Menu had a lot of options that sounded good. What I saw going to other tables looked great. Service was great as well. read more

I waited 2 years to go back to Olive Branch in part because the food was mediocre, and they tack on a service charge, and coming back was a bigger let down. I had the hummus and the lasagna. HORRIBLE! Lasagna was like eating chunky tomatoe water, and the hummus was sour and bland. Save yourself the let down and eat somewhere else! read more

Skip coming here and just buy the same frozen food they serve from the store, throw in a bottle of wine for the price of a glass here and you're set. read more

Had a nice meal here . You can tell The owner /chef has pride in his product . I Had the shrimp with rose' sauce. Table had calzones and lasagna and chicken parm as well. 8 jumbo shrimp in my pasta dish. Great flavor and a hint of spice. Not hot , but a little spicy. More than enough for food for 2 meals. Chicken parm Was a lighter version not heavily Breaded , but delicious. Garlic bread nothing to remark about. A sub roll toasted with some garlic butter . Kate was beautiful and lovely . Only constructive complaint is she left dirty plates in front of us for almost half hour. Her co-worker that night didn't seem to want to be there either. But 4 for sure. We would go back mostly for the food. Be advised they only serve soda. Tea and beer. No wine. You can bring your own for a $5 corking fee. read more

Never thought I would find a Mediterranean/ Italian restaurant in the middle of a small college town, but here is the Olive Branch. Hands down the best I've ever tasted. From the bread sticks to the Hummus everything was superb. Me and my family showed up at 6pm. Our waitress was extremely nice and attentive. We ordered cheesy bread sticks as an appetizer. Beef , Lasagna with meat sauce, Shrimp Fettuccine in Rose' sauce and a personal pizza for my youngest daughter. The beef was seasoned to perfection and a tender medium cooked steak. Greek Salas was fresh and great. The Lasagne was just outstanding as well as the Shrimp Fettuccine. Nothing about this meal could be complained about. From the service to the speed of the kitchen getting us our meals. We were done boxed up and paid the bill in less than a hour. And the price? For the portion sizes to feed 4 people and beverages the cost was under 90 dollars This will be our go to spot every time we come to visit my daughter in college. read more

The food was terrific. I had a grilled vegetable salad that I really enjoyed. The only thing that could have improved was that the meals all came out at different times which was annoying because we were eating separately. Regardless of the kitchen issue the waitress was attentive and we had a nice meal. Ambience is casual. We would go back. read more

I've had several meals from the Olive Branch and I thought all of them were very good. Food is high quality, fresh, and always served very hot. I believe it's also reasonably priced for the portions you get. Service has always been good too. Most of my meals have been the chicken parmigiana and lunch sandwiches. Give them a try. read more

Great spot for some good Greek gyros and strombolis. Good service too. Found this on yelp. Will definitely stop there again.

The restaurant was quaint, and service was average. The waitress was not knowledgeable on the menu nor the prices on anything not marked. I ordered a kefta kabob, I should of ordered a side of minced meat...no flavor, just a chopped up burger patty, and gave a bad digestive problems. At the end they over charged meal and had a built in service fee. This place is a hard pass if you are looking for mediterranean food, definitely a don't waste your money on it unless you have to spot. read more

Ate here for lunch. Quaint little place with that standard Mediterranean ambiance (nice and dimly lit...even with customers around seems intimate). The food was decent for the price. Please try the hummus! It's worth it. The server, Hannah, was sweet and attentive without being cloying. Would recommend. read more

Food was very good and so fresh! The chicken kebab was very good. Chicken was juicy and tender and the pita bread was so soft with a crispy exterior. Valentina was our server. She was very attentive and very helpful! read more

Got the chicken gyro. Wish I had had the Italian side of things as my wife's calzone was excellent. Gyro was not not great based on others I have had elsewhere. Would we go back - maybe read more

Delicious!! Loved the gyro plate. My kiddos loved the pizza and grandpa loved the Alfredo! Great service!

For a Mediterranean restaurant, I hoped for more, with less American style cooking. They did have Dolmas, and gyro based dishes, but I'd say it's akin to a fusion restaurant's take, to meet the needs of the American consumer. Although, neither dish with lamb advertised tzatziki sauce, which is common with a gyro. This is the extent of Greek, and the rest was American-Italian based. It'd be good to provide additional Greek options, to assist with the Mediterranean theme. This restaurant may do well, for weary travelers who are staying at the Comfort Inn, across the street, but some things may require an update to keep residents. To test the food, we had lasagna, chicken Alfredo and pasta in a meat sauce. Overall, the pasta is not where they shine. The pasta in meat sauce tasted akin to Chef Boyardee, the lasagna was akin to Stoffer's lasagna, and the Alfredo sauce was so watery, it couldn't stick to the food. Ultimately, we left feeling underwhelmed. As for the service, it took longer than necessary to place our order or pay the bill, but the server was pleasant. I always leave room for the possibility of having arrived on an off night, but this is likely not a place we'll return. Maybe the pizza and calzones is where this restaurant shines, but I can't say. read more

Cute place, attentive staff. Had the Chicken Shish Kebab and it was fantastic. Great taste and good size portion- I left full and happy!

We ordered for pick up. So this post is just on food alone. Husband ordered spaghetti w/ sauce and I ordered chicken Alfredo. He stated his was fine but not the best. However, this by far the was the worse chicken Alfredo I've ever had. Couldn't even eat the chicken bc it was yellow in a lot of places. You could tell the chicken was not fresh. The sauce tasted bland. Feel like anyone could make better chicken Alfredo at home than this place. read more

I love this restaurant! Mediterranean influenced food with everything from fantastic pasta dishes, some Greek influenced dishes, and wonderful pizza. read more

Okay, where to begin. Wasn't expecting a great deal...no offense to Greenwood but we're talking a local mom and pop restaurant in a small rural town but boy was I blown away. You could tell from the minute you walked in that their attention to detail was very important to them. The motive fit the theme of the restaurant and the place was busy. I was surprised at the variety of the menu. It did take a longer than normal time to get greeted but in today's world that wasn't a shocker. I opted for the Mediterranean Salad. It was absolutely delicious. Just the right amount of spices and oils. You could see the oils and vinegars on display and knew they didn't scrimp on quality. I was concerned that just a salad wasn't going to be enough food but wanted something clean...wrong, it was more than enough and I found myself challenged to finish the entire dish but I won in the long run. The food and decor won me over as well. The only detraction was the service. The waitress not only got my wife's order wrong but also my sons. However, the food they did get was good. I will say the other wait staff seemed on top of things but ours appeared to less than interested in doing her job. If not for her poor performance, I would have given them a 5 star review but couldn't get past her attitude but again, the food was tremendous. All things considered, I will add this to the places to try again. read more

I can't give enough stars for how tasty this food is!! if you want a FRESH meal that is homemade, this is it. Everything is made from scratch and came out hot! I got the penne a la vodka annd my husband got the alfredo. Both were INCREDIBLE! Our waitress was super sweet and welcoming. we'll be coming back for sure! read more
