The food was nice. We tried the pizza, hummus, and the Mediterranean sampler. The hummus wasn't the best in Mobile but it was good. The bread wasn't quite pita, but more like a soft beignet without the sugar. It was good. The pizza had a garlic butter sauce instead of red sauce and I liked it. The hooka didn't bother us. There was a table nearby with one but I couldn't smell it. The music choice was far weirder. It was late 90s rap, like Gangsters Paradise and Eminem. Very odd for a Mediterranean vibe. The service was sad. Our drinks never was refilled. Our table was never bussed. All the dirty plates, including our appetizer plates, stayed on the table until we left. Our server was slow to take our drinks, slow to take our order, and just slow. read more

Customer service was okay. I tried the New Zealand lamb chops and a mango lemon drop. The vegetables were seasoned tasty. The lamb chops were okay and on the smaller end. Mango drop was on the stronger end and wasn't really fruity. A bit on the pricy end for okay food/drinks and service. read more

This place has dissapointed us a few times now. Our last 4 visits, no lamb, how can you be a Mediterranean restaurant and not have lamb for multiple visits. Tonight, we even asked before we looked at the menu tonight, what food are you out of today. This is sad because the food here is good but, if the manager can not get lamb, what is the point? We will start looking for another Mediterranean restaurant to frequent. We will start with 7 Spice Grocery & Grill, then others. What a shame. The place was empty again tonight, too many times like this. Hope something changes to bring us back here. read more

Finally get my food after an hour of waiting food comes out everything is COLD!! The manager comes out couldn't care less about my complaint!! Didn't even have a response for me nor did he offer to make my food correct!! read more

I had the lamb chops and hummus. This was absolutely delicious. So much flavor and so tender. The homemade pita bread with the hummus was perfect. read more

The food and service were both mediocre. I got the Margarita Pizza which had an aftertaste and the tomatoes on it were not good. My husband got the shawarma, which he said was okay. Our waitress was okay on the niceness level but she would leave and take forever to come back to check on us. She would go sit at the bar and scroll her phone in between visits. Several of them would sit at the bar on their phone while working. The vibe of the place was fine, dark and moody in there. It's not a place we'll go to again. read more

Ollie's Mediterranean Grill - Ollie's G&k or something. It's good. Just get it. Danny made it good - Mediterranean Near Me - Mobile, Alabama

This was one of our favorite places but the quality and selection has declined and the prices are outrageous. Service was mediocre too. Not sure where to start, we had spaghetti which was $15 on the menu. It was served with what looked like canned tomato sauce and meatballs were $6 up-charge, making it $21 for spaghetti, really?? The shawarma plate tasted okay, but not at nearly $25, come on. I could see $15 maybe but it definitely wasn't worth the price. Their are other Mediterranean eateries in Mobile that have much better food at better prices. Get pasta and want to add a chicken breast, how about $7. The menu has changed, much pricier and selections removed. This used to be one of our favorites but I don't see us going back for a loooong time if ever. read more

The food is pretty good here, if I were able to, I would give this place 3.5 stars. The ambience is quite dark, and they had coverings over the booth chairs to mask how old they are. They really need an update. read more

Awesome atmosphere, fantastic food, and great staff. Definitely recommend the steak and cheese wrap and the spinach dip!

Our once a month date night. I was looking forward to giving this restaurant a try. Especially disappointed in the service. Took forever to seat us! She first forgot one of our drinks. Then when the food came we didn't have silverware, once eating the chicken it was dry! Finally brought the missing drink and while I'm choking on the dry chicken I was thirsty waiting for a refill myself in which it didn't arrive until we were ready to leave. She never took any of the dirty dishes away from appetizers to empty glasses. read more

Got the Greek salad for 13$ , grilled chicken was going to be 6$ extra. I'm certainly not paying 19$ for a simple Greek salad. The hummus was good but overpriced. Just go to 7 spice , it's so much better and way cheaper. I'm afraid this business not remain with prices like this. read more

I am so sad!!! I apologize in advance for the tirade about to ensue! I should've listened to my brother in law. He said Ollie's has changed and not for the better and I didn't listen. I hate to give bad reviews. I won't usually write a review if I am going to complain (I just tell you where the good stuff is) but more people need to be warned if they are looking for how things used to be at Ollie's. I used to LOVE Ollie's! You can probably also still read my old review. Sundays at Ollie's was my favorite thing ever!! So, here goes 1st up: Prices are way more and portions are way smaller. $28 for a chicken shawarma plate with no Garlic dip? It used to be like $16 and there was this amazing Garlic dip that accompanied it. Who knows what was in it! Like a Greek Skordalia but somehow creamier that any I've ever had. Gone! (My daughter says it's on the menu so maybe they forgot it?) 2nd strike: A large hummus is about a cup of hummus. (See my pic) Teensy portion for $11? Nope! and it's not as garlicky as it used to be. Absolute 3rd deal breaker: no more cream of chicken soup on Sundays. This was the most delectable substance of which I have ever been privileged to partake. Gone! The waiter said they occasionally make it but not on a regular day of the week. He had no idea when they might make it again. I will admit the chicken tasted good, but it was basically a grilled chicken breast (and not a large one- see pics) with Greekish spices on it. Take my advice and skip it. Drive just a few miles up to Airport Blvd, take a right and go to 7 spice. It's in the back of a grocery store and they give you huge portions of chicken shawarma and garlic dip and the basmati rice is so amazing! Or, if your heart isn't set on Mediterranean food, go a couple doors down to Nino's and get one of their amazing cheesesteaks. Much more affordable and extremely tasty! read more

Horrible experience! Walked in an hour before close (52 min actually) and was met with a horrible attitude, refused to be seated because " the kitchen is closing in 20 minutes". They obviously don't want customers. Imagine if the front end is that poorly managed how bad the kitchen must be. Spend your money elsewhere with a better run business. read more

I used to work for Ollies Mediterranean as a Host up until end of June. I've have been reading reviews since I left and I do agree that things have changed drastically. Reasons why I left was because I was one of the ppl on the front line getting complained and cussed out. Management could care less about servers. Chef Chris always had comments and snarly looks. Management always talked shit about us then turn around and try to implement rules about us talkin shit on eachother. I have copies of previous menus still and it's ridiculous how much its increased. Management is greedy & money hungry. They abuse and overwork their staff. A few servers are the OG and not sure if theres new ones. Gratuity went from 15% for a 6+ party to a 20% for a 5+ party. The average is 5 people. Management said it was because it was to help servers make more money. Another thing is, Chef Chris. The almighty Chef that everyone loves and adores(jk everyone hates him). Runs his kitchen like a boot camp. AC is broken, they're working in 100+ degree kitchen with NO breaks. While he just sits and eats food. Only if you knew what shortcuts was used in there? My god. Meat and various things are prepared on the SAME surface directly next to the dish pit. Sometimes it would sit there for hours and have dishes next to it. Dirty corroded outlets, fries and peta bread buckets ON the floor. The health department would have a field day here read more

This used to be our 'go-to' place but something has changed. I understand staffing issues, but it took over 10 minutes on hold to place a to-go order. Was told it would take 30 mins, which is when I got there. Long & short I had to wait another 35 mins for 2 hamburgers. Got home and they were cold- so obviously had been sitting there for a while. Ordered one cooked medium and it was rare and had to be microwaved to eat. Also ordered Patti Melt. Should have been on sour dough but instead it was a pannini-pressed hamburger bun, turned bottom up. Meat was very dry. Cheese almost non-existent. Had crab-corn bisque that was the texture of pudding. Plenty of crab- just could not eat it Hate to see the decline. Used to be a great eatery. read more

Very good very fresh food. Friendly service. I ordered a beef gyro and soup and it was a lot of food for the price. The menu was big with lots of choices. It took a while for us to get our check, but it was our only complaint. read more

Both the food and service were great. The staff were courteous and very efficient. I will definitely be back and share my experience.

Disgusting frozen hummus. Pita is just a shit of dough. Ownership changed, Employees are great. But the number of cars in the parking lot shows how their business is. Don't go, $11 for hummus. McDonalds is probably better. read more

This restaurant is a never fail restaurant for me! Allllllll of the food is amazing, so full of flavor and is so fresh! It is a good spot to hang with friends, take your hubby on a date, or have a business meeting! The service is always impeccable. Also it is very fun if you like to smoke hooka, they have it where you can enjoy yourself with hooka outside and they sell some amazing drinks that are sure to surprise the taste buds. Actually they sell some of the best mixed drinks that I have tasted in the area. P.s. a little secret,.... pull them up on Yelp and get $5 off your ticket! Thank me later! read more

They have a $5 coupon listed through Yelp, but the manager did not want to honor it. He also blamed Yelp for it. Good food, but the manager could care less if you come or go. The loud music playing weird r&b is odd. Expensive. read more

I like this restaurant and he food is good, but every time I have eaten there I've been charged for any sauce I order. Today I asked for yogurt sauce and I was charged $3.00 for it for dipping my sandwich. I thought it came with it really. But anyway, been here before and been charged $1.00 for extra salad dressing or really anything sauce wise you'll get extra charge. My waiter was up front about the charge, and I ordered it anyway since my food was in front of me. I'll probably start todine elsewhere. read more

We live in Mobile Al. And eat Only Halal. So there are only few options we have. We appreciate that Ollies have Halal options, which is the ONLY reason why we keep coming back. The food is never consistent. The server this time was great. But we always have issues with our servers there. I gave them more than 10 chances before I gave a two star review. If you want a nice experience please go somewhere else. But if you only want the Hookah and the drinks go ahead it's nice for that. And this time we were asked about the sauces and we said ketchup and hot sauce. We only got one small hot sauce and were charged 2$ for it. It's a sandwich, it should come with a sauce right? I think this is it and we will not be coming back. read more

DO NOT GO HERE. I literally made an account to complain about this dump it was so frustrating. I went with my girlfriend in the pouring rain when it was not busy at all. There were maybe 3 occupied tables, and yet the table the receptionist sat us at was dirty and had to be cleaned. My girlfriend went to the restroom and there was a cockroach in a corner on the way to the bathroom. We ordered the hummus and it was $11 for 5 slices of peta bread and what tasted like ALDIs store brand humus. We also ordered the combination shawarma and it was $23!!! The whole dish could fit into a shot glass. The chicken had a yogurt sauce on it that was disgusting and tasted like expired Oikos greek yogurt. It came with two slices of peta the chicken itself was bland the vegetables and rice were good and the beef was delicious but there was maybe 4 oz of meat on the whole thing it came also came with about 5 slices of raw thick cut tomato and onion and the tomato was flavorless even with salt and pepper. They also charge an extra 4% for using a card. We didn't even get a drink and it was $40 after tip for one entree and one appetizer. I used to come here all the time a few years ago, and had no idea Ollie's changed ownership. At prices like this I could have gone just about anywhere else and been happier. Theyre really out here charging downtown eatery prices for glorified prepackaged trash. Don't waste your time and money with this garbage. read more

We always order from Ollies and tonight was the worst experience we have ever had. Both of the sandwiches had over cooked meat and the toppings that are normally on top were wilted and cooked with the meat. It was always fresh and put on top last. The sandwich looked smaller than usual and barely any fries. The prices have gone up and have not been changed online and the quality and size of food has decreased. The hummus was very bland no taste at all and the rice had no seasoning at all and looked yellow not like the original rice that is white with tasty seasoning. It appears that the entire staff was changed including the cooks. The bartenders were very nice and helpful plus doing more than one task. I don't think we will be back. read more

The food isn't bad, but it isn't worth the money. The prices have gone unreasonably up. With high prices, you don't know the amount you're getting. For instance, the grape leaves are$ 12.00, I think , but how many? And. that goes for the entire menu. The service is pretty decent. The ambiance is nice, especially outside. Will I be back? I can't afford it. read more

We went in for dinner. The food was lukewarm and we had it sent back, to warm up. By the end of dinner, before we could ask for the ticket, there was a huge ROACH crawling on the booth divider. It actually fell in our booth. When I brought it to the manager's attention, she removed an appetizer from ONE of the tickets. I would never make a scene or object to her proposal to fix the issue. But I definitely think that for a roach to have joined us for the end of our meal, something else should have been compensated...for customer service's sake. read more
