I've wanted to get to Olive Branch for quite a while and we finally made it. We had a delicious meal, with nicely attentive and family-friendly service, in a lovely bright little dining room. Every aspect of the menu was appealing. The dinner bread (semolina from a NY bakery, we were told) with table EVOO were perfect. The Chop Chop Greek Salad was so fresh and crisp! Appetizer chicken wings with carmelized onions on top were flash fried goodies. We enjoyed our entrees (shrimp and filet mignon kabob). We saved room for dessert (and took a lot of leftovers home to enjoy later). Baklava and rice pudding was the chef's kiss on the evening. The restaurant is BYOB (did we miss that in the Google listing or website?), so we will be better prepared next time with a convenient stop across

This place is amazing. The food is just magnificent. If I could give it more than 5 stars I would! The decor was cool, and not a long wait time. The rice was amazing, grilled shrimp, amazing, calamari, amazing, everything, AMAZING!! I HIGHLY recommend this place.

★★★★★ 5.0 William Krause · Oct 2024

Never disappointed coming here. I always enjoy talking to the staff. I decided to have a tapas style dinner. So, I picked their sausage special, dolmades, calamari, grilled shrimp, and octopus. My server brought out my dishes in intervals so the food was not sitting getting cold as I ate the first dish. I never felt rushed. I will definitely be back.

★★★★★ 5.0 Christopher Miller · Jun 2025

A gem off the beaten path. Elevated dining experience with flavorful food and great for seafood that is not heavily breaded and fried or broiled. I rate a restaurant by its calamari and the delicate coating on this place’s was amazing. Wish we had taken advantage of the BYOB and overhearing the desserts had us drooling.

★★★★★ 5.0 Ava Hoffman · May 2023

Delicious find while we were visiting for a birding trip. Packed with flavor. The Keftedes and Watermelon Salad were our favorites. The feta was incredibly creamy, and the pita was also top notch. Incredibly kind and attentive service. Someone in the kitchen absolutely knows what they’re doing — the food came out quickly and was perfectly staged. Will definitely return!
