Olive Tree Pizza & Grill

Had to give one star as the lowest there is. I live in Mauldin and have enjoyed eating here in the past but something has changed. The portions are now a lot smaller they add $ 1 to every bill for credit card even when you pay with cash. The service is not what it used to be NOT a place I will go to any more. To bad I used to like going here! Way to many other choice’s. My recommendation GO SOME WHERE ELSE !

When I lived in Mauldin several years ago, this was one of my favorite places to eat. Last night, when the waitress asked if I wanted fries (with my roast beef hot oven sub), I assumed it came with them and she was making sure I wasn’t subbing them for something else. They didn’t. Basically, I paid $ 8 for the (small) sub and $ 3 for almost a handful of fries. $ 11 for a sub and fries– and that doesn’t include a decent tip. Absolutely not worth it. I am very disappointed and will not be returning, which is a real shame because everything else was nice. Why not $ 8 or $ 9 even for a «plate»?

It was ok. Just ok. Not great. Average food that is way overpriced. Wasn’t impressed so will not come back. Service was slow.

All in all, it was an okay experience. I’m in no rush to go back. My husband ordered a gyro platter and said it looked as great as it tasted (and it looked pretty darned good to me). I had a pizza. I was slightly underwhelmed. It was a perfectly okay pizza… but if you have «Pizza» in your name, I do expect a bit more. It’s not a place I would go to when I’m craving pizza, but if someone wanted a gyro, I’d probably try the pizza again.
I did have two problems with the place though:
1: I asked for a small side of ranch and was charged $ 1 for a tiny container of it. I won’t make that mistake again. At most, it’s a 50 cent cup… not a dollar.
2: The additional 50 cent charge on the bill for ‘CC DINE IN”. I asked what it was, and was told if you use a card, they charge you 50 cent. We opted to pay in cash. I understand that some places do this to offset the cost of processing credit cards… but on a $ 30+ meal for 2, I do feel it’s a bit absurd. Perhaps I’m out of touch. Tis just my humble opinion.
All in all, I give the food 3 stars (bordering on 4 for the greek entrees), the staff 4 stars, and the place itself (based on the issues I listed above) 2 stars.

One of our new favorites in the area. Great food, great service, good prices.
We stopped in for a quick dinner. My husband ordered the combo and raved about the flavorful lamb and pork. He ate every bit. We ordered a kids’ lasagna for the toddler. It was big enough for an adult; very well seasoned and covered in bubbly cheese. My small Greek salad with grilled chicken was fresh and just the right size. The house dressing is awesome.
We’ll be back. Gonna try the pizza next time.

The pizza @ this place was awesome! The cashier was not very pleasant she acted as though she had a chip on her shoulder…

I used to live right behind this place.
Not great, not bad, just some where in between. Pretty decent selection of food, and the servers are friendly enough (most of the time), but I have to be honest, the food wasn’t really doing anything for me here.
It’s kind of a mix of Italian and greek, both of which are pretty mediocre. The sizes are decent, and the price is a bit more than a meat and three. If it were me, I’d sooner get a meat and three.
