It was Friday night. Busy, but not THAT busy. Then we noticed that several tables had been sat and served and we were still waiting on our food. Instead of just admitting they made a mistake, the kitchen makes up some BS excuse about how it’s taking longer because we have entrees. So, roughly 45 minutes after arrival, we’re getting our food. Everything would be fine if the food was good. It wasn’t. My wife had the Cilantro Chicken and I had the Beef Shish. Both disappointments. Our server tried multiple times to get the manager to discount the meal(we didn’t ask her, she knew things were not right) and he refused. Not going to risk another disappointing meal. Won’t return.

Expensive for the quality and quantity of food you get. Not worth it at all. They don’t even offer pita bread with the entrée orders.

Awesome service. Our server was a little busy but she let us know if it would be a while before she was back, and we weren’t in a hurry. The food was AMAZING! And the shots were true shots, not shorted! Will be back!

Every time I’ve gone, had horrible service, and«ok» food. The last time my wife and son went with myself, no one would wait on us. After sitting there for 30 minutes we decided to leave. As we did, the waitress said«thank god» as if since I had a baby we were an inconvenience. Haven’t been back, and never will.

Hubby and I decide to try Ollie’s for dinner. Ashetin was our waitress and she was fantastic. I am surprised to see such poor reviews for service, because EVERYONE was kind to us and we were well taken care of! Now to the food… the lentil soup was incredible. I know I will be going back for that one! I ordered a Shish Kabob wrap and it was delicious! Hubby got a gyro with fries. He was raving about the seasoning on the meat and absolutely LOVED the fries. The incredible thing is on Monday’s they have buy one get one free on the sandwiches, so we opted to duplicate our order and take sandwiches home with us for lunch tomorrow. Very affordable dinner menu. You have the option of dining inside or out and with the cooler weather I can see the patio filling up.

Stopped by for lunch this week… twice! The hummus is amazing and chicken shawarma added on top takes it to a whole new level. The Caesar salad was amazingly fresh and dressed perfectly. The beef gyro was delicious with tender beef and a flavorful yogurt sauce and feta. Service was also very good and quick, will definitely be back soon!

My wife and I are traveling west from FL and stopped overnight in Mobile AL. We use Unilocal regularly for non-chain eateries wherever we end up. Tonight we found Ollie’s on Hillcrest. As devotees of Middle Eastern food for too many years to remember we were very pleased with the food and especially the service at the bar, where we prefer to sit, from Twista, no not a spelling error nor a bad spelling parent, but a mispronounced Kristin by a four year old. We ordered the Kafta app and the Baba Ghanouj. Both arrived as expected with fresh homemade pita. The Kafta was four football shaped meats with spices hot inside. The Baba was an excellent presentation of the smokey eggplant made into the creamy dip. Needless to say we were very happy and tried the baklava. While the pastry was fine the sauce was too sweet. All in all an excellent eatery. Worthy of five stars, which we don’t give easily. Enjoy it when in Mobile.

Love this place. Probably my favorite place to eat in Mobile. Food is great. Never had a bad experience. Lentil soup, Greek salad, grape leaves, everything is good. Ppl are always nice and I really love the atmosphere at the midtown location, though this one is closer to me.

Trying to find dinner after 10PM ended up more of a challenge than I expected; that’s where Olive’s came to the rescue. Easily found a spot in their lot, figured out the location of the front door, and was greated by a lovely and frieareasndly bartender. Ordered the humus topped with chicken and a side of pita, and enjoyed the lovely meal. Probably one of the best pitas that I have tasted.

Great atmosphere! Be prepared for a lot of food when you order. Come hungry and you’ll still leave with a to-go box. Seafood bisque is out of this world good. Order the red pepper paste with the hummus… gives it a great kick!

Hands down one of my favorite places to eat. The food is AWESOME with reasonable prices. Their only hang up is that the service is always really slow and bad. However, once you get your food, it’s great.

This is one of my go-to places for nights I don’t want to cook. The food perhaps not the best Mediterranean food around but it is good and consistent. When we dine in the service is always great even when try are busy. I really enjoy sitting on their patio when the weather is nice. It is a great place for date night or with a group.

Pass this one. It seems to be set up for a night club — there are strobe lights and such. There are also signs at the entrance warning of appropriate clothing. Right away I knew this sort of place was not for me. The service was past awful. I had to freshen my own water 2x. Since nothing on the menu was to my liking I just ordered Hummus, which was like we make at home. It was fresh and the lemon was just right. My companion had a salad that looked quite good and a veggie wrap that also looked OK, but it took over an hour to get it. I feel a bit sorry for Ollie’s. They are in that old building right at the loop that has been many different things over the years. You can park there, but you can never get out. «Hotel California». If you insist on wasting two hours over a bowl of mashed beans, park at the Pizza Hut across the street.

Imagine a club that plays great music and glowing lights. Now picture that with a bunch of tables and chairs. You can’t dance, but your dinner entrée will sure be a party. Several dinner parties here were celebrating something special and you can tell this place was dedicated to cater to those celebrations. Another bonus was the aroma of the restaurant. It might be overwhelming in previous places I’ve been to but this restaurant somehow manages to air it out correctly. The moment you enter the restaurant, you can breathe a pleasant smoky air that is just enough to appreciate, but never to the extent you need to race for your inhaler. The food is delicious. I ordered the shish kabob(which wasn’t lamb), but that didn’t deter from the flavors. Mixed with the grilled vegetables, it was salty, meaty, juicy, tasty, and combination. The Vampire Pinot Noir compliments this perfectly. I got lentil soup as a side soup. It was not the portion of a side but it was good.

This was my first time dining here and this experience was fine. It was a weekday, so it was’t as busy as i’ve seen weekend traffic there. They have a nice variety of food choices. I tried the Chicken grilled wrap. It was great tasting and nice in size to fill me up. They have quite a few more wraps i would like to try. Besides the wraps, the menu had pizzas, burgers, and lamb/steak/shrimp/chicken entrees. I’m sure you can find something here that will suit your taste-buds.

With some time to kill before a New Year’s Eve party, and not wanting to fight a crowd for a quick drink, Ollie’s turned out to be the perfect stop. We walked in, sat at the bar, and had drinks sitting in front of us straightaway. Our bartender was in good spirits and friendly, props to him because who really wants to be working during the holiday? We enjoyed an order of hummus and pita while we sipped our drinks. While I can’t comment on the food too much being we only had a nibble, I can say it is a good place to grab an appetizer and glass of wine!
