We decided to give Blue Olive a try after learning they had switched from pizza to Mediterranean food. If you're a fan of Chicago St. Pizza, don't worry: they still have pizza. I had the Mediterranean delight. Everything on my plate was tasty and fresh. I especially liked the falafel, which had a slight crunch on the outside, but was tender on the inside without being greasy. The kofta kabob was excellent too. My wife got the combination plate. Their gyro meat is pretty good. They also have nice hummus (did NOT taste store-bought, as another reviewer misreported) and tzatziki, but the tzatziki is made with sour cream instead of yogurt and I prefer yogurt. First impression was good, we'll definitely be going back. read more

The joint we had planned on going to for mothers day was closed. We decided to give blue olive a try as it is close and I love Mediterranean food. It is a hole in the all joint but thats ok. We had the chicken curry plate and my guys had the gyro dinners along with hummus and dolmas. The hummus had a roasted chick pea earthiness to it that was good. The dolmas were a little bland for my taste but I like my so heavy with lemon that I pucker. The gyros were good and my curry chicken reminded me of home styled indian food. Oh yeah the mint tea is a must. I would recommed to dine in as I saw the carry out orders having to wait 45 min for food. They were busy with only 1 cook. I would recommend them if in the area. Just know you are getting good food in a dive atmosphere. read more

Came in about 8:20pm on a Saturday for takeout. Pleasantly surprised with overall taste of food. I've had some yummy Mediterranean style food here in DFW area and a few misses but Blue Olive was on point. One thing sucked, I ordered vegetarian dinner platter but there were no falafels left to fill my orders. I was sooooo looking forward to those. I tried to go back today but it was during their midday closing time. read more

I had seen good reviews for the Blue Olive online and thought we would try it. My husband and I stopped in on Saturday before hitting trade days. The tiny place was busy!! Lots of positive compliments floated through the conversations we overheard. We ordered the Hummus Deluxe and a Gyro Pita with Feta Salad. It was absolutely delicious!! The hummus is velvety and laced with good olive oil and the house Greek dressing. The pita is light, ultra fresh and perfectly chewy. Even the tomato slices and duces tasted at their supreme freshness. We were so pleasantly surprised. We WILL be back for more! read more

Blue Olive Grill - Hummus Deluxe - Middle Eastern Near Me - Mckinney, Texas

Our daughter wanted Greek good and we wanted something close so we took a chance on the Blue Olive. We are sooooo glad we did. We started with the olive tapenade hummus. It was truly some of the best hummus I have ever tasted. My daughter had a Greek salad, which she devoured. I ordered the vegetarian plate. The falafel was ah-mazing!! The babaganoush was light and creamy, the pita bread was as soft as a baby's butt. My husband ordered the meat moussaka and enjoyed every bite. The service was attentive without being annoying. We will be back!! read more

The Mousaka is a must try. My wife is addicted to the homemade salad dressing. The portions were a good size and the hummus is fresh. The only reason this place missed a perfect score was the pita bread being a little hard and dry. Hoping we caught them on an off day as we will defiantly be back! read more

Blue Olive Grill - Middle Eastern Near Me - Mckinney, Texas

Absolutely loved this place! I have been looking for a good Greek restaurant for awhile and I have finally found it! I ordered the gyro combination platter. I would highly recommend it. Comes with chicken, lamb, Greek rice, hummus, naan and tzatziki sauce. The hummus, naan and tzatziki were so fresh! The chicken was grilled to perfection and the lamb had an excellent taste. The rice, while simple, was still amazing! Go to this restaurant if you like Greek food! Small little mom and pop restaurant with a relaxed feel. It is a hidden gem in McKinney. If you're a student at Collin college in McKinney. Grab a bite at this place after class. It is right around the corner! read more

Blue Olive Grill - The gyro combination platter! - Middle Eastern Near Me - Mckinney, Texas

I ordered takeout and got the Combo plate that comes with chicken, gyro , rice, hummus, salad and some flat bread. It was about $14.50 since it was 7:00 during dinner menu. Everything was great except the chicken was overcooked and chewy and the guy seemed ready to get off work! Glad to have some good Mediterranean food in McKinney will be back read more

If you are looking for Mediterranean food, Blue Olive Grill is the place to go. They just added Indian food to the menu too! We ordered the gyro combo plate and chicken curry. Everything was very delicious and flavorful! I would definitely be coming back if I'm in the area. Service was also quick and friendly. Highly recommended! read more

The first time was delicious. The second and third time was bad. Keep trying please because I love Greek Mediterranean food. Feta, olives and spinach make a simple great salad. read more

So...never knew this place was here. Blink and you miss it in an old building (strip mall kind of place) and we almost left. But we were so glad we tried it. Food was fabulous! Best falafel I've ever tasted! And their tzatziki sauce was so creamy! I will admit that I was a bit surprised by their lentil soup. I've never had lentil soup that was completely creamy with no chunks of lentil - but the taste was spot on! It's a bit of an odd combination place - Mediterranean and Indian mixed, but it works. The Indian dish (Phall) was over-the-top hot but in a good way - full of flavor. When we got home, my husband said he wanted to go back for seconds! We'll be back! read more

We got blue olive to-go tonight and couldn't be happier! The amount of food was insane! The Greek dipping sauce and lebnah were to die for. I crave lebnah, so finding a restaurant that has a good one made my night! The pitas were worn and the baklava were fluffy and sweet and weren't smushed like they had been sitting for a few days. I would definitely recommend it and will be going again for sure! read more

Love their food. I usually get a variety of things. The dolmades are tender and flavorful as well as the little spinach pies. I really do enjoy the food and think it it some of the best! read more

Really good Mediterranean food! My boyfriend who hadn't been exposed to this type of food before and is a picky eater, loved it! We went yesterday and are going back tonight. read more

Came here based on the reviews. Thought I'd try the gyros sandwich. Veggies were void but the meat and the tzatsiki sauce lacked anything resembling flavor and the pita bread could have been cooked a bit longer, it's almost as if it were limp if pita can be described that way. The fries weren't that great and to top it off I felt like I was rushed to hurry up and leave. Could have been an off day but I kinda think this is par for this business. I'll try elsewhere fit flavor nectar time, after all flavor is what makes Greek food so great. read more

I wouldn't even give this restaurant a rating if I had to! I ordered my takeout on Uber earlier today for a scheduled delivery for tonight. I was missing several items when it was delivered. I called the restaurant, and the girl that answered started to yell at the kitchen while I was on the phone. Then told me I was going to get a $20 credit to my order, and she would deliver. I was then placed on hold, and she came back saying she couldn't deliver the food since she was to busy! I offered that my daughter would pick it up, and gave her the name. I also challenged the fact that I paid for two different kinds of naan. One was $.95 and one was $.75. Which honestly is not a huge amount, but thought it was very odd. She proceeded to tell me that it was Uber that inflated the prices, and that they only had one kind. On their menu, it clearly states two different ones! She then quickly hangs up the phone! I then get a call back, and she tells me that the manager had now reduced my credit to $10 since we were picking up my undelivered order! I asked to speak to him and she tells me that he is busy! I said that I would like to talk to him, and she tells me no! I again said yes put him on the phone please! She again says that she just works there and no I will not. I did threaten to write this! She slammed the phone and said have fun with this one! He got on the phone with me and started yelling at me, and asked me what was he supposed to do? I just stated that you have changed my credit, my daughter is now driving over 20 minutes to get our food, and your prices are incorrect on your menu. He continued to yell at me, and I repeatedly asked him to stop! I will never again order from this place! I am not one to ever write a review! No one deserves to be treated this way! I promote small businesses all the time! I order takeout all the time! I do not appreciate the disrespect from this establishment!. Lol calm down Karen... I got a whopping $10 gift card to the restaurant that I will never use! This is how they respond to their customers...case and point! read more

Fantastic vegetarian plate! It had quite the selection and was served with some wonderful pita! Plus, it was reasonably priced. This is my new go-to for Greek food. read more

Have eat here three times now and have not had a bad meal yet. The Moussaka is rich and meaty tasting. The homemade Hummus is outstanding. I dont normal like eggplant, but the Baba ghanoush, a Levantine dish of cooked eggplant mixed with onions, tomatoes, olive oil, is delicious. If you put this on a sandal and I would it eat. The Sage tea is a great complement to any meal. The wait staff is fair. The last time I was in the Blue Olive there was just 4 of us in the restaurant and I had to track down the waitress just to get basic items, such as forks, knife and napkins. read more

I am confused why this restaurant is still serving Chicago style pizza. The brand is still on the front door under the new Blue Olive branding. Chicago style pizza and Mediterranean cuisine on the same menu make me think the owner is trying to do too much and not specialize in one genre. The Mediterranean food we ordered was average. Hummus was great. My husband had a combo plate with chicken shawarma (misspelled on menu) which was under seasoned and lacked Mediterranean flavors. The server lack appropriate etiquette with her coworkers. She spoke very loudly and rudely, and also took personal calls on her cell phone behind the counter. The restaurant is very small, so counter and kitchen cconversations can disrupt pleasant table conversation. read more

Where do I even begin with this place? We originally found it on yelp while trying to find somewhere good to go. When we got there I admit I was skeptical. It was kind of in an unknown area and there wasn't anyone there. In fact we debated back and forth about going in or not but let me tell you. It was the best decision ever made. First off my girlfriend loves tea and when she saw the mint tea she just had to have it. I was, again, thinking it would just be tea and who cares right? I was so wrong. This tea should be on everyone's bucket list of stuff to try before they die. Your life is not complete without this hot tea. Add a little sugar and nothing will ever compare. Enough about mint tea (it's amazing), let's get down to food. We're novices to the place but not to the food. As such we got the Blue Olive Combination Extraordinaire which you might think is pretentious but you would be wrong. You get 11 different items with it. No joke 11! Gyro, Swarma, Kabob, rice, and dolmas to name a few. That includes two dips that blow other places away. Sorry Zorba's I still love you but I have to cheat on you with this place. If there's one thing my girlfriend knows, it's hummas both store bought and fresh. She adored this hummas. This isn't store hummas, that's crazy talk. This is amazing hummas you will not soon forget because it is that good. It has olive oil on top that just mixes so well and it is so creamy. Now me? I'm a tzatziki girl (also know as Grecian and other names depending on culture.) and I'm hard to please. This was good, I mean really good. I mean so good you'll make yourself miserable by putting it on everything. Don't pass up on this. It was thick and creamy and I wish I was hungry again so I could eat more. All of the meat was tender, properly seasoned, and beyond good. There was nothing we didn't like and we will absolutely get it again. I seriously cannnot wait to be hungry again. Also they use belly cards. This was my first time doing it and it's a cool idea. Oh and I can't forget the people that work there. Chef is cool and obviously has experience, my kudos to him and his kitchen. Everyone else is friendly, attentive, and welcoming. The place is small but a fantastic find. Seriously check this place out. They have a good sized menu and it's something you must try. They even do to go orders in case you need to take your dinner home before the family gets home so you can pretend you cook. Now quit reading, get out of the car and thank me later. read more

Tzakziki was pretty good. They clearly make it themselves. I think the prices were OK... And the service was very friendly. I didn't even know this place was in McKinney... It's almost hidden. It's not as good as Zorba's in Plano... But it is less expensive... and located here in McKinney. So it's a good value. Good place to get lunch... And also good for online pick up. I'll definitely go back. read more

Great Food, so happy to finally have some Greek/Lebonese/Mediterranean Food in McKinney. Excellent Kofta Plate, Combination Plate, Dolmas, Apps. They deliver during nighttime hours too. Really good food !!!! read more

This is a new mediterranean place in Mckinney that we wanted to check out. We ordered a cheese pizza, Kofta Kebab and Chicken Kebab plates. The hummus was really good and the meat was really tender. There is not much food in Allen and Mckinney mediterranean wise. Support this business as the food won't disappoint you. read more

They didn't give me enough pita with my meal like I normally get. They forgot the spinach pies with the Mediterranean delight. Understaffed and when I try to call to order or complain their phone was not working. read more

WOW! I am not normally in this area. But I needed a quick place to eat with a friend and this place just beat the other places. I walked up and was a little discouraged due to the shopping mall location. Walked in and it was a little shop with the cutest woman who was very happy to greet me. I could smell the delicious food already. I ordered a chicken/ gyro plate. It came with pilaf, hummus, chicken, gyro, and a little salad. Great little authentic place. read more

Blue olive is a great addition. Food is fresh and delicious. So far my favorite is the chicken kabobs. But their hummus is the best I've ever had and I hate hummus. I've also tried the butter chicken and it had great flavor. The gyro plate is the most frequently ordered by my household and the meat is very flavorful and is not greasy. Pitas are fresh and the salads are well dressed with dressing and feta. Please support local food in Mckinney and try these guys out. The last thing we need is more tasteless chain food!! read more

Tried Blue Olive Grill last week and loved it. Sampled a few items and all of them were fantastic. I will definitely add this place as one of my go to restaurants. read more

Holy yummy! This place came across my FB page so I decided to give it a try. My mom and I went Tuesday and both had the vegetarian plate - dolmas, falafel, baba ganush, and hummus. It was delicious! I went back to work and raved about it to my co-workers. Today, my co-workers had to try it. We did take-out. Placing the order was easy, and the food was ready on time. The five of us that ordered were not disappointed. We had the combo plate, chicken plate, and another vegetarian plate. Everyone was happy with their order and ready to go back. I forgot to mention the price - totally affordable and you get a lot for your money. No doubt we will all be back soon! read more

Loved their falafel. Nice little spot. Everyone there were very nice. Looking forward to trying other things on the menu.

The food was so delicious and authentic! Some of the best I've ever had. Yes it's a hole in the wall but those are sometimes the coolest, best places. I had the chicken shawerma (sp?) plate, my husband had the gyro and my picky-eater son had a Mediterranean burger. My son looooved the burger & we all will go back because the good was fantastic! The hummus was great and definitely authentic!Please support this little business as we need more like this to stick around in McKinney! Oh and the owners were so nice too. read more

Finally, a decent Mediterranean place in McKinney! The hummus was delicious and perfectly garlicky. The falafel was a notch above average, tasting homemade and fresh. The Chicken kebobs were juicy, tender and nicely flavored. When we asked for a to-go box for the last couple spoons of hummus, the owner graciously made us a new order in the to-go box. We will definitely be returning. read more

Pretty good food, each order done as you wait. The decor is pitiful and nothing being done to enhance the food experience. With just a little work on the interior, this could be a nice experience. read more

Similar situation as Nathan V. I have been dogged by the owner to reconsider my review and even offered me free dinner and stated "Yelp would not give you anything for this review". I almost bought a tub of Hummus from my favorite restaurant and dropped it off for him to try and compare. Today I get a notification from Yelp about a comment on my post. No surprise it was from the owner stating "Neek Halak". Which means go "f your self". He obviously has not heard of Google the answer to any question! WOW REALLY PROFESSIONAL BUD!! KEEP IT UP AND YOU WILL CLOSE YOUR DOORS! read more

Horrible service. Was looking forward to eating here but had to walk out because no one ever came and took our order. Phone was being answered but not waiting on the actual customers siting in the restaurant. Reply to your comment: Yes the is my first review because the "lack of service" prompted me to start reviewing so no one would ever come here expecting good service. You are very unprofessional. read more

I have an update it's now my 7th visit and Indian curry has been added to the menu I'm pretty irritated not only with the ridiculous portion of the "Fish Curry" for $10+ only 5 small tiny pieces of fish I had a big Togo order I also ate my late lunch while there the server was told 8 lived 25 minutes away no short trip I get home with my family's dinner and there is ZERO Tzaziki sauce for the Gyro wrap that I asked to be on the side I also ordered and paid for an extra Tzaziki that I didn't get I ordered 3 pieces of Naan only got two and then the fish curry that wasn't enough to feed one person This needs to be fixed and the server needs more training on taking orders and making sure that everything the customer "PAID FOR" is in the bags I'm not going to change how many stars I gave I'm going to come back and order the same dish and is it has not been corrected those 4 stars is dropping paying $10+ for a bowl of Curry sauce is not cool and not getting what I paid for is really not cool!! Check your Togo order before you leave more then likely something will be missing!! Ohh and the Naan it's not homemade it's the same stuff the sell at Costco this whole thing is just disappointing one countries cuisine is all you need stick with the Greek food and make it the best out there this Indian food attempt is going to ruin your business!! Found this place on yelp and was craving some good old Home Cooked Greek Food this is for sure the place to find it. My only advise is don't show up expecting to have what you want and why I gave 4 star instead of 5 I wanted falafel and they did not have it I get it a Mom & Pop Greek shop the two running the place are doing what they have to and are not shady at all just trying to keep the cost down by doing it on their own. I think as they grow and hire staff this place is going to take off especially if they keep the prices where they are!! Go, Try and Enjoy I did and will again so I can try the falafel and it better be available... LOL read more

Tasty Mediterranean fare, with a handful of Indian-ish options (e.g. Biryani). The humus, chicken breast, rice, and salad were all good. My Gyro was a bit thinly sliced and not as great as I'd like it, but it was passable. Maybe a bit more seasoning and a bit more "crunch" on the outside from the heating element might fix that? The spicy chicken curry which my wife had, was quite good however with a tasty thick sauce and juicy chicken. I think the pitas were from a store, and not locally made, which is a bit of a disappointment, but it's common with many Mediterranean places. Not every small restaurant can have a big fire oven to make their own. Service was good and friendly. read more

My first time getting food here and the last, very bad impression was made. It's a Mom and Pop take-out type of place with okay food. I ordered three entrees over the phone (or so I thought) on Valentine's Day, got there and they accidentally charged me for four because the woman who took my order misheard me. They were very busy and the woman and the man working the grill (owner?) were very stressed out. It was no big deal, and I explained what I asked for and they adjusted the price but while I was paying, she took my bag away to the kitchen and the cook/owner took something out and handed me the bag all gruff-like and my receipt. I didn't realize until I got home that they took my third entree out of the bag!! So essentially I paid $32 for two entrees. Making the trek back to argue over missing food was not how I wanted to spend my night so I took it as a loss. Not inclined to try this place again. read more

Week-day late afternoon and it was quiet thankfully as I had skipped lunch. Service quick, selection on the menu great and food was very good. I got a gyro plate with salad... there wasn't a bunch of salad but what was there was good and the wrap is the best in town for the money. Some make the gyro like a taco and some like a wrap... this wrap was big - like the kind of wrap over at some Mexican places but the ingredients looked very healthy (meat and vegetables). Great choice for a late afternoon lunch/early dinner. The place is small but inviting and has a home-style charm to it. read more

Usually order a gyro wrap online for lunch and it's ready when I get there and always delicious!

This is small, dated looking eatery but the food is good. If you enjoy Mediterranean cuisine and don't need a high class environment then give them a try. You can call in your order and take home. Try the goat curry. read more
