Top 5 Birmingham Lunch Spot. The Lunch Specials are spot on, and you get a lot of food.

I absolutely love this place. The portions are very generous, filling, and delicious. The staff were also very nice.
Not the first time we've visited and again it didn't disappoint. The place was packed (for good reason) but the wait wasn't too long and well worth it. We had the gyro sandwich, the gyro lunch special and the chicken lunch special. Each was outstanding. The gyro was meaty with plenty of flavor. The lunch special came with a plethora of meat, rice, Greek salad, and a taste of hummus. Every bite was a pleasure. If you have ever tried it, order the mint tea. So refreshing. We have a couple of go to places when we visit bham and this one is at the top of the list for me.

Long wait to get food / prices are too high for quality / gyro did not have separate tomato and lettuce- was wrap so tightly as to disguise the small amount provided / chicken kabobs were average at best / will not go again -

I had lunch in this restaurant. The food was edible. it was freshly prepared. However, the atmosphere is very loud and not very inviting. If you just want to eat something, it's OK, but not for relaxing and enjoying a lunch. price performance is ok

They can NOT handle any type of food allergy. Staff was rude and ignorant. Called ahead to confirm they could accommodate allergen, was told yes. Told staff upon arrival of allergen they confirmed. The staff then argued that food that was clearly contaminated would be fine to consume. After arguing they made some adjustments while yelling across the restaurant “if that would be fine or do we need to replace it too”in an annoyed tone. Have never been treated to so rudely.
A staple weekly dinner for us, The Olive Branch never fails to provide a delicious meal at decent prices with great service.

Went for a late lunch yesterday. The server on her phone finally took my order, then after a few minutes left for the day. Not a word and then some guy brought my food. No one asked me if everything was good or if I needed anything else. Had to go to counter to get my ticket and just took my food home. The hummus only thing that was good since the gyro was over cooked and fell apart. That was my second time here and last.
