Stopped in while stopping at Laurel. Had the gyro flatbread, rack of lamb and crab dip appetizer. I had the casamigos margarita and partner had the Woodford rye manhattan which were really made well! Food was fresh and good. Service was good too!

I’ve been there twice and fail to see what the fuss is about. Service was okay, but not outstanding. Chicken was over cooked and dry on first visit and steak quesadilla bland and also somewhat overcooked. There are better choices in the area.

Great food downtown Laurel. I found this spot a few years ago traveling on a vegan food website- they have the most amazing veggie burger. All made in house and when paired with the sweet potato tater tots. I usually also enjoy the hummus plate...as appetizer. Lots of Greek inspired foods along with full bar, and they even recommend their burgers. I stop in when I am in the area for work.More

Olive on Main serves some of the most flavorful Greek food we have ever had, including Greece! Their baba ganoush is outstanding!

Food was just ok. A variety of food on the menu. Service was slow and wasn't warmly greeted. Felt as if we were imposing on the staff. Prices were good.

This place was very busy on the August Tuesday evening I visited. I had made a reservation and got my table right away. It is a very LOUD venue with lots of hard surfaces reverberating. I dined solo but had I had a companion, we...would have had to speak up very loudly to hear each other. I had a super friendly server. It took a bit for my first cocktail to arrive from the bar but the next one came quicker. I ordered a bacon-wrapped shrimp appetizer and once I got it, it was good. But it took probably 20+ minutes to arrive. My server was very apologetic and discounted it but that was a seriously long wait. My entree once ordered came much more speedily and it was excellent. I went for the kebobs with lamb skewers served with very good rice and sauce and pita bread. The 2 skewers of lamb were very generous--lots of perfectly cooked medium-rare lamb. Super flavorful and lots of it. I did get a dessert of chocolate peanut butter cake and that was very good too. Overall a very pleasant evening.More

My husband and I ate at Olive on Main for my birthday with another couple. We loved the diverse choices on the menu - small plates, entrees, and salads. We had the spinach dip as our appetizer. Three party members ordered lamb dishes, and I...ordered the vegetable lasagne. We all agreed that everything was delicious, CJ, our server was great, and we felt very well cared for. The wine was great! We loved the atmosphere as much as the food. Highly recommend.More

We recently moved to the Laurel area so are trying a new restaurant every week, but we love Olive on Main so much we keep going back!! The falafel is some of the best I’ve had in quite some time - great crunch on the...outside but fluffy and moist on the inside, and so much flavor. The hummus is also excellent and my husband loves the gyros. We highly recommend Olive on Main, and do yourself a favor and don’t skip the grape leaves!More

We got buffalo cauliflower and bacon wrapped dates for appetizers. I'm not a big fan of buffalo (barbeque) flavoring but it was good on the breaded cauliflower. The bacon wrapped dates were also good except that the bacon should've been cooked a bit longer (I...don't like uncooked fat on my bacon). Three of us had gyros which were very good and our son had a falafel wrap which he liked. Service was a bit slow, they seemed to have alot of take out orders.More

This is a hidden gem nestled right on Main St. I've passed by this place a hundred times and finally stopped in. My friend and I ordered the salmon caesar salad, veggie flatbread with a side of rice and grilled zucchini. Everything was delicious and...I think this was the best caesar salad I've ever had. The salmon had a great crust and was moist inside. The flatbread was perfect with the fresh arugula and mushrooms. Highly recommend this place if you want Mediterranean or vegetarian food. There was a bit of an older crowd during lunch. They do feature specials throughout the week and I'll definitely be back to try other menu items. Parking is very easy to find as there is free parking in the back or street parking you have to pay for. Happy hour is from 3-6 PM and the falafel looked delicious as I saw 2 diners order it.More

Pleasant cafe in old town Laurel. The service was good, despite there being only one server for all the tables. She was quite busy. The meal was near excellently done. Only if the meats had not been over cooked. The chicken was dry and the...bison burger medium well so it couldn't be distinguished from regular beef. Meat is the core of a meal. Excellent sweet tea.More
