“Had the Baklava Cheesecake. Door Dashed it. The. Baklava Cheesecake was good, had a good sweetness to it. Reminds me of german chocolate cake in cheesecake form. This was my first time having Baklava Cheesecake and it didn’t disappoint. This was also my first time ordering from this restaurant. I wouldn’t mind trying other flavors of cheesecake at a later date.“
“We stopped here for dinner on a long, long, long drive north to the Detroit area. I really wanted to get a small taste of local flavor instead of just eating fast food, and Olive was more or less on our way, so we hopped off the interstate to grab a bite.Now, from some of the pictures of the outside on Yelp, it looks like this is a standalone business with a private parking lot. That might have been the case at one time, but either the business moved or it has a second location that's freestanding and the pics are in the wrong spot, as that's not the case now. This Olive is very much in the downtown-ish area, carved into the ground floor of a much larger building.As such, parking may be a bit more challenging since there doesn't appear to be a private lot. That said, we had no trouble finding a spot on the street within a block or two. Parking was paid for with the Passport app, and it was reasonable. Of course, it might be harder during nicer weather -- not a lot of people out on a rainy evening!We walked in to find the restaurant fairly spacious but almost deserted -- only two other people waiting for to-go orders. Kind of odd for a Friday night, but again...weather. The decorations are kind of sparse but the place, including the bathroom, was clean.We ordered our meal at the counter and sat down to wait. Husband got a gyro and fries, and I got the Shish tawook platter, which came with grilled chicken, a salad, rice, and pita. We also got an order of the Greek potatoes to try out as an appetizer. Service was a little gruff at checkout but gave us a genuine, kind-hearted thank you as we left, so I guess they just had to warm up to us, lol.The potatoes came out first and were my favorite part of the meal! They were clearly cooked fresh. I'm honestly not sure what's Greek about them as they kinda reminded me of hash browns (the cubed, hash kind) with a little squeeze of lemon and maybe some herbs on top...but if it ain't broke, don't fix it! They were piping hot and very crispy.Husband and I enjoyed our meals, too. His gyro was very large and almost over-stuffed with gyro meat. The fries were medium-cut but tasted like McDonald's fries somehow...not complaining. My Shish tawook was very juicy and flavorful. I've had better rice and pita but these were both quite serviceable and I enjoyed a fairly healthy-feeling meal.Honestly, my true rating is maybe more in-line with a 3.5...but I don't have any super severe criticisms and we had a quite pleasant time overall, so I'll just round up to a 4.Seems like they do a lot of carryout / delivery business. I'd recommend this spot for a decently healthy, very fresh Mediterranean bite if you're in the area.“
“As soon as I walked in, I saw a customer in front of me talk the same language, as what I assumed was the owner, to the owner. Good sign already. Food was really good and a lot of people started showing up during the dinner rush. Also a great sign. I dined by myself and it was really comfortable. Got more food to go and it was made quick. No complaints and would go again.“
“I signed up for Yelp just to write this review. Amazingly friendly staff. Outstanding food. We waited about 20 minutes for our meals. It could have taken 45 minutes and it would have been worth the wait! I had the Jerusalem Special with grape leaves and it was one of the best things I have ever eaten. The manager even brought us two complementary bowls of lentil soup out of the blue! He just said "here, try this." I would have never ordered it on my own and I feel like a fool because it was delicious. It is a small "hole in the wall" restaurant but is extremely clean and comfortable. My wife and I spent about $30 for two entrees and a side of grape leaves. I can't wait to go back.“
“Oh my goodness, so many good things to say about this place! 1. They have a variety of Mediterranean foods! Gyros, salads, etc! And if you aren't feeling Mediterranean they have mozzarella sticks, onion rings, and fun appetizers! The service is amazing, they're incredibly fast, you go up to order, sit down, and within 5-10 minutes the food is here! The ambiance itself isn't bad, they have beautiful paintings hung upon the walls, and if I'm not mistaken some nice chill music! I would 10/10 recommend this restaurant! It's healthy and fast!“
“probably the best and most authentic greek food you'll get around here. i love how tender the lamb is. prices aren't too bad for the amount of food you get and how satisfied it leaves you. the baklava and galaktoboureko taste like something your yiayia would make ?Vegetarian options: there's a few salad options as well as sides that don't have any meat!“
“We ordered 4 gyro's and 1 kids grilled cheese combo. Four of the five of us loved it and of course Mrs. Picky said that it was ok but as picky as she is you can hardly ever get her to say that it's great.Kid-friendliness: I had my 5 year old granddaughter with me and the young lady at the counter fell in love with her. Her and my grandmother hit it off like they were best friends that hadn't seen each other for years.“
“I hadn't been to George's since my parents were alive but always had fond memories of the place. Decided to support them after seeing posts about awful people stiffing them on food.I have to admit, I thought it was a bit unnerving to ask me to pay for my food ahead of time over the phone especially since some may be using cash, but I understood after they got ripped off.I ordered a meal that came with biscuits and gravy with 2 eggs and bacon and added 2 pancakes. I did not like the biscuits and gravy because the gravy had a weird herby taste that I didn't enjoy. I can't rate the biscuits alone since they were all covered up with the gravy.The scrambled eggs would have been good but they were cooked in some oily substance that didn't taste good, butter or nothing at all would be better.The bacon was crispy and delicious! The pancakes were big and fluffy and tasted great. I would get pancakes and bacon from them again for sure.My partner had the Greek plate and the only complaint was that for the high price it should include more gyro meat and tzatziki. Everything was however cooked well and tasty.All in all I'm glad we stopped at George's and hope to dine there again!“
