Went on a Sunday, very busy, 6 of us finally got a table. I had the Greek skillet. Potatoes, peppers, onion topped with Hero slices to die for!!! Toast and 2 Greek sauces, This was the most delicious meal I have had in a long time. Everything is excellent there and I shall be back!! Excellent service too!! read more

We typically go here for takeout. Yet over the past year every takeout order is wrong. Sometimes it's simple things like an order of mashed potatoes becomes french fries. Today it was chicken souvlaki that didn't have any chicken. I'm tired of following up on their errors. They've lost us as a customer. read more

I got the open chicken souvlaki salad, it was pretty good, loved the dressing and freshness of all the ingredients! I also had the layered chocolate cake which had an awesome melty frosting on it that tied it together. I will definitely go here again! read more

Olive Leaf Family Restaurant - Open Souvlaki Salad with chicken - Greek Near Me - Lockport, New York

Kind of familyish. Big menu. Some of the food is great. Some is ok. Good Greek potatoes when they don't burn them.

The food is delicious, just like it's homemade. I love the rice and lemon soup. I always get a bowl of it, because the cup isn't enough and it's only a "teaser"! Everything is delicious and soo good. The waitress's are very friendly, too. I just have one complaint, and it's always to cold in there. Why can't they turn up the "heat"? read more

Went for an early dinner. Restaurant wasn't even half full. Ordered the roast beef club as it has been recommended by a few people. it came out missing the cheese and the bacon and the fries were cold . My friend got a beef on wick and it was also cold. And while the waitress was apologizic and I would have also liked a discount or maybe free dessert as 2 cold meals is kinda ridiculous in a restaurant not even full. read more

A bustling family-operated business for a Sunday afternoon. Our party of 4 arrived just after 12:30 and only a booth & 2 tables remained. A variety of Greek & American foods are listed on the menu - if you can hold fast when waiting to be seated and gaze at the case of homemade desserts including baklava, chocolate cream pie and rice pudding. I wanted to order the open face steak sandwich with a cup of one of the homemade soups of the day - chicken lemon rice - but when it came time to order, I was disappointed to hear it was unavailable. I replaced my sandwich order with a Greek salad. The pita bread was fresh, there were plenty of kalamata olives, tomatoes and feta cheese. The chicken, lemon and rice soup was steaming hot and delicious too. I felt it could have been a little more lemony but that's my personal preference. The staff was friendly but you could tell they were a little frazzled with the amount of people. The value was comparable to the price and I'd come back if I were in the area. read more

I wanted to love this place; I had heard good things; I was so excited to come here. I was let down by my food, big time. The waitress, however, was quite lovely and great at her job. She got the third star for this review. I debated between a Greek skillet breakfast and the open souvlaki salad. I opted for the salad because the menu specifically stated it was on a bed of mixed greens (I don't care for a salad made from just iceberg lettuce) and the food the rest of my day wasn't particularly healthy. Well, when my salad came out, it was on a ton of iceberg lettuce, only iceberg lettuce, not so much as a shred of any mixed green. Very, very disappointing. I was hungry, so I ate it but I can't say I really enjoyed it. The souvlaki chicken on my salad was cooked well, but didn't have much seasoning... It tasted pretty plain with a hint of seasoning... As if they had dipped it into the souvlaki marinade directly before cooking it. I thought we were done, so I had completed my review, but then my friend ordered the baklava; that came out warm and was delicious. Could have been one more star.... We stayed a little while longer chatting and at 8pm one of the staff started vacuuming.... This negated the star the baklava would have earned. I checked the hours online; they stated 9pm as the closing time and there were a couple other tables still, so we didn't rush to get up. After about 5 minutes or so the vacuuming continued, so we got up and left. On our way out we checked the hours on the door and they also stated 9pm as the closing time for every day besides Sunday (we visited on a Thursday). The bathroom was clean and smelled good. read more

Well my friend & I went in for lunch. The service the server gave us terrible.... At least have a smile, if you don't like your job get another job. Didn't come by and see if everything was ok, nothing. Came by threw the bill on the table, just really sad! Food was ok, but boy will be a while before going back read more

Love the breakfast at the Olive Leaf! Can't say it enough. I had the blueberry pancakes with sausage links (because links deserve syrup!) and the pancakes are simply the best around. Bottomless coffee and excellent service make this a breakfast destination as often as possible. read more

If I had to give a one word review for this place it would be: meh. Overall I didn't hate it but I also didn't particularly like it. I'll start by saying that I appreciated getting sat immediately in an otherwise fairly busy restaurant. The waitress must have been having a bad day or something because she seemed annoyed with us from the jump. We ordered fairly quickly, I got biscuits and gravy (with eggs). As stated above, the whole thing was pretty meh. Little to no flavor. I didn't hate it enough to say I wouldn't come back but I also didn't like enough to go out of the way for it again. It was a decent cheap option and that's about where I'll leave it. read more

This place truly is one of the best restaurants in the area. Staff is always friendly and attentive. Food is always cooked to perfection wether your coming for a light breakfast of eggs and toast or some Greek eats like their amazing Lemon Chicken and Rice soup and Spanikoptia. Come check out this amazing restaurant for great food and service! read more

Do not order delivery!!!!! I placed my order several days ago, to be delivered today. The restaurant never confirmed my order, contacted me if there was an issue etc. I finally cancelled my order because I'm not waiting around anymore. luckily, doordash refunded my money and I was able to order elsewhere. I was really exc to try this restaurant but obviously they couldn't be bothered. I won't be trying with them again, not even in person. read more

Solid place to grab food in the Lockport area! Pros: clean, well-decorated and maintained interior; tons of menu options; pleasant and attentive servers; quick turn around between time of ordering and time of receiving your food; tasty dishes! Cons: coffee is just okay (admittedly- I'm a bit of a coffee snob, but I usually love diner coffee. The coffee here is somewhat bland, not awful, just bland), no Large cup option for chocolate milk orders. read more

I really felt like a Fish Fry! It just so happened that they serve them on Wednesday. It was served with choice of potato, tuna salad and coleslaw. Great fish fry, fries cooked right. I really liked the tuna salad but the coleslaw was a little tart for me. Will come back. read more

We go there quite a bit and today was the worst meal we've ever had there. I ordered my favorite spinach and feta omelette with home fries. The home fries tasted like old dirty grease and the spinach in my omelette was clearly frozen pieces instead of fresh. To put it mildly, the meal was gross. read more

Wow, they really exceeded my expectations! We got take out, but I'll be going back to dine in. #1 - The Food: BIG portions, fresh ingredients and very fair prices. I order open chicken souvlaki regularly and this is the best I've had in WNY. I'm so excited to have this place so close to my home. #2 - The Service: Super friendly on the phone when we ordered and greeted with a smile when I went in to pick it up. #3 - The Restaurant: Like others said it's very clean and more updated compared to the previous restaurant that was at this location. read more

OLDER reviews looked promising so I stopped in for lunch today. Would I go back? NO! Overall mediocre experience. Restaurant was about 1/3 full upon my arrival. Waited at the "please wait to be seated " sign for easily two minutes before being acknowledged by the first visible staff member. Seated in a booth that had a 3" rip in the bottom cushion and table was still wet from cleaning after previous patron and napkin wrapping silverware was damp from soaking up the wet table top. The Ruben sandwich was good but on the small side and the apparent normally accompanying French fries were not available due to "our fryer is down, do you want home fries?" The home fries were barely warm, mushy, and tasteless. When I mentioned this I was told "I'll have him turn up the steam table." No apology from my young server who was mechanical, and while not unfriendly, came across as having to be there to collect a paycheck and not interested in any type of customer engagement. If I had to guess, the potatoes had been sitting around since breakfast. Even the soda tasted "off". A walk past the prep area, and briefly open kitchen door upon departing, revealed clutter and worn surfaces. With tax and tip, a $20 lunch experience wasn't anywhere close to being satisfying. read more

When they first opened they were fabulous . The last three times I've ordered from them and picked the order up it was screwed up. Missing the salad dressing, wrong soup, forgot cranberries with turkey dinner. You're not that busy. There were eight people in the dining area when I picked my order up. And there was the time we had a baked potato and they didn't give us butter or some cream. read more

Went here for lunch today and I won't be back. The food was good no complaints there but the server was so unfriendly and rude. There were about 4 or 5 other tables so it wasn't busy. Brought out our food set it down and walked away never came back to ask if everything was okay and if we needed or wanted anything else. Came over put the bill on the table and again walked away without saying a word. I have been to this restaurant many times and because of this server I won't be back I watched her give every table the same treatment. RUDE read more

Great little place. I ordered the souvlaki pita wrap for takeout, it was delicious. The fries that came with it were great too. I will be returning soon to try something else off the menu. read more

food TERRIBLE our server young girl with long hair just hanging down surprise there was any hair in it! Plus she acted like she didn't want to be there. WON'T be back!! read more

Went to breakfast staff was very nice. Great food good menu lot to choose from. Food was very good. Plus there is a bakery in front. Very clean inside read more

Employee lied to protect/please local government officials. I honestly don't know their foods and assume they're delicious and it's a nice place to go. And I get the server isn't expected to be trained about nonsense like this, hence my 5-star rating. read more

Olive leaf family restaurant has been our go to place for several years now. Up to now the food has always been excellent. We were there 2 days ago and yet again the food is being served cold. My hot turkey sandwich was not hot, (actually it was borderline cold) and the French fries were way under cooked. The waitress told us "we had this problem last week too." The waitress said there is a NEW COOK here. How long do you let this go on???Somebody in management needs to talk to him. If you don't address this problem, you will start losing customers to the other Greek restaurant a mile away. Time to get your shit together and make things right!!! read more

This is a new restaurant to the area. They have a clean bright, modern atmosphere and the staff is very friendly. We came for lunch and they weren't too busy but took them awhile to come to the table to get us drinks which gave us time to go over the menu. The menu is quite large with too many options hard to choose 1 thing. We got the Ruben wrap that was on special the sauce was put on the side which made it hard to dip the wrap in it and not have the insides fall out. The open steak solvaki was a large salad. Was disappointed that it was just ice burg lettuce could have used different greens. The steak was cooked perfectly so tender and flavorful. That was the best part of the salad everything else was ordinary. The tables are very close together and hard to carry on a conversation because you can hear everyone else conversation. I know they are still new, so for the first time eating here it was a decent meal nothing exceptional but would go back to give them another try. read more

Great food with a wide variety. It's a Greek restaurant with all of the goodness and flavor of typical Greek places. The service is fast and friendly. Today's 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. read more

Come here weekly. Food has never disappointed and staf are very helpful and almost always have a smile. Better then any of the other greek restaurants that I have eaten at in Tonwanda, Amherst, Buffalo and Lockport. Being from Astoria in NYC which probably has as many greek restaurants as Athens, I do know Greek. Oh wait don't go(I want to make sure that there is seating for me when I show up) read more

Not bad. Not exciting. Ordered gyro souvlaki wrap. Says it comes with dressing but I don't think there was dressing on it (or with it) so kind dry. The lettuce looked like a salad blend with radish in it. Really wish it had more than a tiny sprinkle of feta. The gyro meat had good flavor but again, no dressing provided so kind of dry. Milkshake was on point though. read more

My husband and I always struggle to find a place to eat breakfast/lunch in this area so we were excited to check this restaurant out! They did not disappoint.

Very nice environment and really great service! Will return! read more

This is our second time (this review was drafted 2 months ago) there and the first time was very meh. This time was more yikes. When we walked in a couple was walking out and said "you came at the right time, they finally turned on the AC, it's a sweat box in there." To be objective, when I sat down it didn't feel that bad but 10 minutes later you definitely felt uncomfortable. Apathetic and miserable staff. I know these are tough times for finding help but the sign on the wall seemed to be a reminder to existing employees and a plea to customers to be gentle. Something like "we're short staffed but still smiling. Trust me, no one was smiling. One young guy, who I thought must've been a dishwasher (he looked in his teens) apparently is some kind of manager (more on that later), sat down on his break and turned on the tv to watch it. It was loud and obnoxious in an already small restaurant. The waitress brought my daughter what looked like to be canned orange slices. We were confused because it was with my wife's soup and before any other food. Was it hospitality? Nope, we ordered applesauce with her Mac and cheese and she goofed up. No big deal, just strange. The Mac and other food finally came out. NASTY. Bacon looked like it was thrown in a deep fryer basket too long. Was like eating planks of particle board. My daughters Mac and cheese looked like it was reheated left overs and when she went to scoop up some it came up like a string of hair or something. It wasn't hair but it was bizarre. The cheese was dark and crusty and non existent in other parts and it looked like something heavy was resting on top. They charged us separately for the kids drinks even though the kids menu said they're included which caused the girl behind the register to go get the manager, who happened to be the same very young dude who was listening to TV. He took care of it, which is good. I've since been asked to meet other people here for breakfast and I've refused and suggested other places. Things being all covid-ey is one thing but I didn't like all the little fruit flies getting in my face...and the staff just seems miserable. Maybe I'll try again in a few months but there's nothing good enough about the food to warrant a return. In an employment crisis, one tends to forgive and judge on other factors. With Greek-style breakfast places, if the service is excused...you look at the food and price. None of its there for me. read more

Great place, very clean right down to the restrooms! staff is friendly and attentive! The place was packed wall to wall, We came for A later breakfast, but decided on lunch . the Open Chicken Souvlaki salad was out of this world, it was huge! full of beautiful produce and the chicken was tender, and perfectly seasoned. this salad was truly delicious and good for 2 meals as we needed a take out box to go home. my husband ordered the open faced steak sandwich he called it perfection and said it's his new go to menu item! waitress suggested Baklava cheesecake for dessert. if not for being already completely stuffed we would have tried it. something to look forward to next time. This is a wonderful little place that we will return to often. read more

A small family restaurant on Robinson Road near South Transit in Lockport serves quality American and Greek dishes at fair prices with good service. Clean, bright and well staffed, with a big menu including breakfast all day. My wife and I came on a Thursday night, I ordered a side of barbecue ribs w mashed potatoes and mixed veggies and choice of soup or salad. The ribs were tender with a sweet glaze baked on. not poured from a bottle. My wife ordered the lasagna which was a large piece served w garlic bread, she enjoyed hers though it could have used a little more marinara. We both took some home-big portions for around $12 each. The waitress was very good-SHE ASKED US HOW OUR MEALS WERE AFTER A FEW MINUTES!!!....that's a major point with us...definitely affects the size of the tip. When we cashed out the owner asked us how we enjoyed everything, just like the old neighborhood! Will definitely return to try the breakfast. Fresh, hot and no surprises...worth checking out. read more
