This is where you want to go for any meal of the day! Wholesome cooking just like you sitting at home!! :)Chicken lemon rice soup and Chocolate cake !! Thank you Olive leaf this was the best lunch Ive had in a while !! The soup is amazing and the rice is still firm !! And the Chocolate cake is too good to share !!!
The worst place I been to for awhile. The service is so bad. I just ordered a soup and tuna sandwich and the soup came out first. No drink no sandwich. 10 mins later I finally got my drink. They forgot my sandwich. Sat there for 35 mins until finally giving up and cashing out and just paying for the soup. Never again this place is horrible.
At lunch time, called for a pickup order. Couldn’t tell me the soup available and didn’t bother to look. I placed an order regardless and got ice-cold soup. Also had an order for chicken fingers that never came with blue cheese. Person answering the phone was pretty mean, so I won’t be coming back.
So me and my husband left Olive Leaf restaurant and where told not to come back as they claim that yesterday we tore a booth seat and that our daughter colored on the wall behind the booth we were sitting at today. All false accusations as these things never happened. Good riddance to them. Never have I been in a restaurant where they place a really hot plate of food in front of a 3 year old so she can burn herself, or where you have to ask 4 or 5 times for a drink refill or coffee creamer or silverware and napkins. I dont know how many times I have told waitress no ice In my drink and they still put ice in it!!!!
Perfect service and breakfast of corned beef hash and eggs over easy. I requested crispy hash and it was done to perfection. Crispy on the outside and warm in the middle. The eggs were over easy with a slight break in the yolk which cooked. That was perfectly hidden under the toast. I chuckled because I wouldve done the same. 😁 service was good. Coffee never went below half before it was filled. ☕ ❤
Food was ok. Had to wait a long time for it. Sat at the bar, hardly saw our waitress. One employee looked on for 15 mins at an empty drink glass. Not very clean my shoes stuck to the floor. The two waitress we did come in contact with had blah attitudes. Not my first time having an experience like this.
Second time I have been here for breakfast. It really feels like a small town dinner and the staff are hard working and pleasant. We had the Niagara breakfast which you can get french toast with. When I tell you the French toast is huge, I mean it!!! You can add strawberries blueberries apples and even whipped cream or chocolate chips to any pancake or french toast dish. On both occasions our eggs were cooked amazing and the bacon and sausage was really good. My kids love getting the short stack of the chocolate chip pancakes. I will tell you that this might sound small because it has the word short in it but it is not short at all. There are two pancakes that you get and my kids at age 8 and 10 can barely finish it. We are so glad we found this little place and that it is only about 15 minutes away from our house conveniently located near the Lockport Drive-In and other stores.
We have not been disappointed in eating there yet. The food has been really good, and the portion size was a bit more than usually expected. We give that 5 stats. The food is great, the staff are polite and pleasant, and parking has not been a problem yet. They are getting a great reputation so if anyone plans on going, you wont be disappointed. We were there this past Sunday and had to wait a few minutes for a seat. Great eating experience, great people, and the prices are about what youd pay anywhere else.
Today it was father - daughter date day. These are the times we spend sharing great food, time and conversation and that is priceless. If youre a dad you know, you just know.This place Olive Leaf is large and spacious. Very clean. The lighting was ample and easy to see, not dark like some restaurants.The food was plentiful and reasonably priced. You didnt feel pressured to leave or rushed. And this is why mentioned above you are free to enjoy each others company.Would I recommend this place? you bet !Will I go back? Absolutely yes!Do yourself a favour, support a local business and surprise your taste buds.
Second time here, food was ok. Bacon is expensive $4for 4 slices. Flies are free though. Many flies inside where I had to keep them at bay. As I was biting a piece of toast. A fly landed on that piece and stuck in the butter. That was it for me. No excuse for that many inside. Disgusting.
The food is very affordable, good size portions, you wont leave hungry! Pleasant atmosphere also. But you have to watch the glassware & silverware it sometimes is not clean of all food particles. And twice Ive been there when other tables have had to send back dishes one for pork chops not being fully cooked, & the other dish had a hair in the food. Putting all that aside I would recommend going & giving them a try. Im satisfied with all the dishes Ive had & will continue to go.
Ordered the gyro souvlaki wrap and spicy feta appetizer to go - everything tasted amazing. Nice to have a good gyro spot so close. Dined in the next day for breakfast - service was prompt and friendly, food was great and priced very well, dining area clean, absolutely no complaints. Will return for sure.
First time in here. Well certainly be back. Food was great.. portion sizes wow.. its a lot.. it was a Saturday so it was busy. Which is a good sign when looking for a place to grab a bite.. the wait staff in my opinion were great.. the prices for what you get is certainly reasonable.. large portions.. I was watching plates come out for other tables thinking Ill have to come back and try that.. not one sour face in the place while we were there. Definitely must try. A hidden gem.
My first time at Olive Leaf, and I highly recommend! My chicken slouvaki Pita sandwich was the best. My son had the French toast with apples, he loved it and his wife had the corned beef hash breakfast, also very good.Our waitress was very nice too. I will definitely be going here again when Im in the Lockport area.
Great food with a wide variety. Its a Greek restaurant with all of the goodness and flavor of typical Greek places. The service is fast and friendly. Todays special included lasagna. It was clearly home made. They have also posted that beer etc. is coming soon. The desserts are phenomenal. A must try is the baklava cheesecake.
For the first time in 20+ visits, we had a subpar dinner. Service at our last visit was bad; food came out fast but that was the last time the waiter stopped at our table for almost an hour. Found out someone had called in and they were short staffed. I ordered a 12 Oz dinner steak (my usual) mid-rare. I received a 7 Oz breakfast steak cooked well done. Just overall not a good experience.
Had the Souvlaki breakfast, delicious, hubby had grilled cheese sandwich with clam chowder. Chowder tasted like oregano or basil. Not like chowder.Other wise great place, would recommend it and has a counter , nice. server were pleasant , polite and nice atmosphere. looks clean and chairs are comfy, all booths were full. Needs some how more booths.we are going back again .1 .12.. 20 , went to Olive leaf for lunch, got souvlaki breakfast around 12pm , the coffee was lukewarm and home fries were cold . the eggs were fine and toast. MY hubby had corner beef hash , a little under cooked . an they werent busy, yet. Sever was fine
Server was good. She went out of her way for us. Food quality was very poor. Server told owner twice we had complaints and he just sat there. Wouldnt even talk to us. Roast pork special was dried out and cooked in a microwave. Bbq rib tips were not tips. More connective tissue and bone than meat. Told by server that owner said thats what they are instead of him talking to us personally. Ive worked on the food industry and they are definitely not rib tips. I would not recommend this place and the only reason i gave them two stars was because i felt bad for the server. And p.s., the cook came out of the kitchen and picked his nose! Do NOT go here!
Listen here people of the inter webs, you want amazing food you go to the olive leaf. Screw the over priced nonsense at Denny’s and other large chains. This place is the bees knees. The cats meow. The Simon and Garfunkel of places to grab a meal at. And the head chef tony can do no wrong. Sometimes i question if he’s even human. A wise man once told me this quote and it 100 percent applies to tony. He’s not a boy he’s not a man but thee MAN when it comes to cooking. Gordon Ramsey watch ya back. The eggs Benedict is an absolute go to when i stop in. Olive this place ❤️❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🖤🤍🤎❣️💕💞💞💗💗💖💘💝💟
We ordered lunch for takeout today and was totally disappointed when we sat down in our office to eat! We ordered a triple club sandwich-roast beef- and fries as well as a chicken souvlaki pita with sweet potato fries ( for which I was charged a $1.00 more!). Went over the order with whoever took it and was very clear about what we wanted. I went in to get it and the person at the counter where I paid even went over it again. When we sat down to eat the order was TOTALLY WRONG!!! There was no triple club sandwich, instead some sort of chicken pita sandwich 🤮 It was way too spicy! The chicken souvlaki pita had way too much dressing on it and there were NO SWEET POTATO FRIES(that I was charged extra for!) Instead there was some weird regular fries with seasonings and feta cheese 🤮 VERY DISAPPOINTED! We had ordered take out souvlaki a few days ago and it was very good but today’s failure to get the order right will make me think twice before I order again!!
We recently had our first visit...ordered takeout. We ordered the Soulvaki wrap, and another sandwich with fries. The young woman taking the order repeated the order incorrectly (said Soulvaki salad instead of wrap) so I clarified to be sure we were getting a wrap. She said confidently yes. Picked up the order, got home and opened our container....containing a Soulvaki SALAD. Order accuracy is dreadfully important, and we wouldve loved to have what we ordered. Not sure if well be back, the food was good, prices decent, but our order was wrong. 😣
NOT TOO BAD THEY WERE BUSY HAD TO WAIT UNUSUAL AMOUNT OF TIME FOR MEAL,UNDERSTAFFED IN KITCHEN ACCORDING TO MY WAITRESS HAD TO ASK ANOTHER WAITER TO LEAST BRING ME MY CUP OF SOUP WHILE I WAITED FOR MEAL. WAITRESS DID BRING ME A REFILL AND I ORDERED TWO DESSERTS TO TAKE HOME. FOOD WAS GOOD.

2022-02-11A friend of mine suggested to go here. What a great Ma & Pa local restaurant. The prices are ultra reasonable, and the food is excellent. I had a goulash dinner that was a good portion. Included garlic bread and a decent size salad and it was under $10 ! Im definitely coming here again. Nice people working there too.

2021-10-29The atmosphere is casual, the staff is dressed professionally, they have a great menu, and my Gyro meal was very tasty, the portion was plenty, the baklava was huge, and all were reasonably priced for dinner.

2022-04-18I will start with the good part. The staff was great, the place is beautiful and clean. Having said that, I ordered the chicken fingers, and they were floating in grease. I should have sent them back, but I didn’t. I only ate one. I also ordered a piece of chocolate pie, and it, too, was terrible. My friend’s meal was delicious. I don’t know if it was just a bad day with the chicken fingers or what. It was like they deep fried them, and didn’t drain the grease off at all. I will go back there and try something else because it was just a beautiful place.

2020-01-17The service was average. The hostess ended up coming over to get our drink order after we waited a while. Our waitress did not check in with us often and she didnt offer drink refills until we were packing our food to go. She also forgot to bring us a second box for our take home food. The price of the food is inexpensive and very reasonable. I got the hot turkey sandwich and it was okay. The gravy was very salty. My sandwich also came with fries. Their fries are extremely delicious. They were crunchy and crisp. My fiance got the lasagna. He thought it was delicious and hed compare it to home cooked lasagna. My daughter got a cheeseburger. The meat was slightly over cooked and the burger itself was very thin. Maybe this was on propose as it was a kids meal which makes perfect sense. However, if thats the same size as their adult burgers I dont think someone that loves burgers would be satisfied.
