Blue Olive Grill

Tucked away in an old strip center, the Blue Olive is a hidden gem! Having only discovered it this year, my family and I fell in love with the freshness and authenticity of the food. We love Mediterranean cuisine and always search for new places and this is our new favorite. From the Hummus and Baba Ganoush to the Kofta (excellent), Gyro, and grilled chicken, you simply can't go wrong. As a bonus, they offer Indian as well, but we haven't tried those offerings. They also offer their own olive oils, marinades, and pita bread to purchase. Check it out! We want it to grow and thrive

I come here so much, they memorized my order. I definitely recommend dining in rather than getting take out, because it's such a cozy atmosphere and food comes out hot and fresh every time. If you're thinking of going to Zoe's kitchen or another "authentic" Mediterranean, come here instead and support a small business!

I have been here a couple of times, but my partner has been here uncountable times. It is his favorite, and he was the one introduce me to this fabulous place.

My most recent visit, I decided to order something different in addition to our normal orders -- combo plate, gyro plate, and this time, we got the "Chicken Phal." We noticed the Indian section in addition to their Mediterranean section. Maybe we were a bit too hungry that day after a long drive, and not consumed any food for over 24 hrs. I felt like I have never eaten anything as flavorful and tasty as what that chicken phal

My son placed an order for pickup. It was on Wednesday 12/1. He placed the order at 6:24pm. I, driving for a long time, from work, got there to pick it up at 6:40pm. The employee asked me who it was for. I explained. He said 5 minutes. At 7:10pm I finally received what I thought was my order. The entire thing was wrong. Incorrect and some things completely missed. By the time I got home and situated, I found how bad the order was put together. Wanting to call and complain they were closed at 7:30pm. Very upsetting. My wife's order was missed. She ran back to find they were closed. She went

Really good Mediterranean food. Not going to beat it in Mckinney. Give it a try. You won't be disappointed

Husband and I decided to go here for lunch on our 28th anniversary. I was so please with our decision. The server/hostess was refreshingly kind. The food arrived fast, was the perfect portion, and delicious. We will be returning.

I cannot begin to express how I feel about this place, today I went here again for a second time and it was just as amazing or even better this time around. When we entered the lady was helping someone else she still acknowledged us and asked us to sit anywhere we like, right away she asked us what to drink and was very helpful. Constantly check to make sure we were doing well. We order one chicken Kabob plate, one gyro place and Chicken Qorma everything was delicious excellent taste flavor and much more. Definitely will be going back for some more delicious food. This place is a hidden gem and

Owner was extremely rude to guests. I'll go to another greek restaurant down the street (Greek Isles) who actually treats everyone like family

We found the falafels to be the most authentic and best tasting in McKinney. The hummus with olive tapenade was also very good along with the pita. Wanted baba ganoush but they were out. Will hopefully get to try that next time.

Ordered a very large take out order for my husband's birthday, but the order wasn't correctly made. When I reached out to the owner / manager / via Facebook (I tried calling, but no one answered) I was treated as an inconvenience & felt spoken down to. In this day & age w/ Covid limiting business, customers should be treated with the upmost amount of care. I don't recommend & I won't be returning.

Updated with pictures of conversation after the lovely owner decided to respond.

My youngest son is 15 & is on the autism spectrum, he also has food allergies. This

Fantastic authentic experience.


Would recommend to anyone in McKinney.

Excellent service and atmosphere. Will be returning to blue olive soon.

Wow. Food here was exceptional. Can not recommend enough. Every single bite perfection. We will definitely return!!

If ALL you're doing is selling food to go you might be considerate enough to put utensils and napkins in the bags. I've always enjoyed the food here but I won't do this again.

Blue Olive is not following COVID protocol. Employee in kitchen was not wearing a mask. Not to mention they messed up our last two takeout orders. They used to be so good but, the quality is not what it used to be!

Sadly the takeout we just ordered via door dash was not as ordered. The Korma was not boneless, it was full of bones (see pictures) the chips cooked to a point but not fully crisp. Sadly we ordered from here 2 weeks back and it was amazing however this was a massive waste of $36 (inc delivery). Very very disappointed, more than half will go into the bin. The kids couldn't eat the boned curry. Coming from the UK they love a good curry but boneless should be boneless (FYI the odd bone is ok but this was terrible, seriously bad)

FYI as per the feedback I did try to call however the place was

My wife was celebrating a birthday. All she asked for was a good mediterranean meal. I cast my search net wide (Dallas) to impress her. After reading through a handful of yelp reviews and swiping through countless pictures, my spidey senses brought us to the Blue Olive Grill.

We made our way to the restaurant on a Saturday night (7:30). We were greeted by the host and sat down. She served us some water and took our orders. I went with the chicken kebab ($10.95) and my wife went with the kofta kabob ($10.95) and a side oder of baba ganoush ($7.00). About 10 minutes later, the baba ganoush

Incredible find in the middle of an unremarkable small old shopping strip. My friend and I wanted Mediterranean, but didn't have time to head to Zoe's in Fairview. A quick Yelp search brought us to Blue Olive Grill.

What to order? Anything. Really. I got the grilled chicken platter; my friend got the spicy chicken platter. Both featured tender, fresh chicken. His was quite hot - like sweat a little while you eat hot. A side of flavorful salad with house-made dressing, and a dollop of hummus with a drizzle of olive oil round out the plate.

There aren't many seats in here, and you

Small quiet little middle eastern place with;big flavor!

Came in in Black Friday to an empty restaurant around 1:30pm. Kinda sad considering how delicous the food was.

The lunch specials are from 11 till 2:30. Special on chicken, lamb, and beef shwarma, gyro, and platters. Definitely get on of those or it gets kinda expensive.

The lunch deals come with rice, hummus, and salad. Neatly portioned on 4 sides of plate. The only problem was the salad came with dressing on it. Kinda over done in my opinion.

Got the food in under 8 minutes and the food was fresh. Saw the griddle heat up.
