Really love this place! Friendly and helpful staff!
The food is also delicious and is sort of a Cajun Italian hybrid of food.
Cajun Trio Pasta was what I got and it was very tasty! They added a lot of meat and do not skimp on it whatsoever.
I definitely recommend stopping in and eating. I do recommend this as a dinner (supper) place.

Came here on a Monday night around 8pm and the establishment was rather quiet. The service was good, we didn't have to ask for refills, napkins or anything of the sort. We had the chicken and sausage gumbo, meatballs, lasagna, seafood trio, garlic bread, and tiramisu.
My date enjoyed the gumbo tremendously since it did not have any vegetables.
The meatballs were overcooked so the outside was tough and lacked flavor. The marinara sauce is filled with chunks of tomato, which is not my personal preference.
The lasagna was filled with meat but also has the same chunky tomato sauce that just

I have been ordering from this Olive Branch for a year or so now. The pizza and sandwiches I have ordered have all been well made and tasty. And for the one or two pizzas that got damaged in delivery, those items were replaced and quickly redelivered. The staff I've met have all been friendly and nice! I'm completely satisfied with the service and food and can't recommend a better pizza place.

Our waitress was great. She talked to all my children at our table including my two year old with an attitude and made them feel like they mattered. We enjoyed her service and the food was great. Something a simple as a cheese pizza came out like it was gourmet. Thank you for an incredible experience. My girls said we will definitely be back.

This is a very unassuming place. From the outside we had no idea what to expect. Wow! This place was fantastic. Our whole family loved their meal choices. I had the manicotti and I have to say it was the best I've ever had. Armories nice and not real fancy. Our server was fun and we always had a full beverage. My only negative would be that there is no alcohol. Beer and wine would be nice. Oh, and make sure to order the tiramisu. THE BESt!!!!!

Just helping and saving folks one review at a time.
Olive branch is definitely worth a visit! It's a great variety of Italian dishes and the prices are decent. It's more of a really cool lunch spot in my opinion. I usually get the spaghetti and meatballs! I looove the sauce and meatballs but it's not like the homemade kind but it's always a hit and miss with those anyway! So they meatballs work! Most of the entrées come with this large cheese pizza bread and maaan that's delicious and filling so proceed with caution.
But anyway you can't go wrong here.

Came by for a quick lunch one day with my aunt and 2 little cousins. The place was pretty packed, but I'm not surprised because there's a lot of buzz around this spot. I've heard several great things about the food so I thought it was finally time to give it a try! Walking in, we were seated almost immediately considering they were busy for lunch.
For an appetizer we ordered the hummus, which was good, but I don't like olives or feta. That wasn't a problem as I was able to pick around it and my aunt wanted hummus so we got it. The actual hummus with pita was good! For

YES! 2 weeks, 2 great pizza places!!
I was more than pleasantly surprised by this place. I saw reviews, and claims of "best pizza", so I had to check it out.
Friendly people, mix of people there, all ages.
I am picky about food and always looking for great pizza.
THE FOOD:
Veggie quesadilla.. really great app. Fresh spinach, great bite, wheat tortilla.. Sour creme, salsa, and ranch side dips were great.
And
COMBINATION | $13.99 | $19.99
Tomato Sauce, Pepperoni, Italian Sausage, Mushrooms, Onions, Green Peppers, and
Black Olive.
THESE ARE A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS..

Great hole in the wall dive that has perfected the blend of Cajun and Italian cuisines. The prices run higher than average but the portion sizes are much above average. Two pasta dishes, a spinach and artichoke dip and a side salad was $55.
Spinach and Artichoke: 5/5 absolutely fantastic dip with more than enough bread to eat with the dip
Side Salad: 0/5 Once we got home, I noticed it was not in the bag after asking specifically if it was there
Seafood Trio Pasta: 6/5 One of the best seafood pastas I've ever eaten. Huge piece of blackened Redfish, copious amounts of shrimp and crawfish

Extremely Poor customer service and how this business operates.
We ordered To-Go since we are not comfortable dining out with Covid-19 (06/27/20) but I didn't know you can't receive a refund after PULLING A PIECE OF HAIR out of the food you just took a bite from? Disgusting. Lost my appetite and did not finish my food of eating less than 3 bites of food and a piece of HAIR.
And when calling them the next day (06/28/20) since we ordered late the night before and they were closed by the time we discovered the hair, to explain the situation and experience they of course gave the pity

My favorite go to spot in the westbank when I'm craving for Italian. It's usually take outs for us. Love all their pasta dishes! Especially their shrimp Alfredo. Sometimes I have to tell them to go easy on the sauce. Pizza are good too. We usually get chicken and bacon with Alfredo sauce as our base. Friendly service and they offer some kind of rewards program! They are located in a strip center but have plenty of parking.

I've been wanting to try this place for years and finally did. We opted to dine in with two adults and two kids. We had the Cajun trio pizza, sausage/cheese pizza, and kids fettuccine alfredo as well as a ceaser salad. The salad was standard and came out with honey mustard instead of ceaser dressing. I can see that our server was very busy so we didn't mind the honey mustard. The food came out hot and tasty. The winner was definitely the kids chicken alfredo! It was so good we immediately ordered another one. My kids loved it and so did I. We also loved that on Monday/Tuesday pasta is

The past three times I've came to this locations I've gotten bad, wet, soggy lettuce. I usually go between 12-1 because that's my lunch hour. By the time I get back to work after picking it up, I do not have time to go all the way back to get it fixed. This is ridiculous!! The people are so nice there but the quality of the salad is always in bad condition. Spoke to rusty(the owner) about it when it first happened and he told me I would have a credit. Went back in another day to get my salad and was told I did not have a credit on my account so I didn't bother saying anything

I stop here almost everytime that I'm on the westbank. Italian is my favorite cuisine, and this restaurant always satisfies! The staff is friendly, and the food is consistently delicious. I've eaten several dishes including the lasagna, Becky's pasta, and (my all-time fav) the cajun trio. I also love their shrimp and corn bisque. Y'all should try it! You won't be disappointed!

I have been to Olive Branch several times, and each has been a good experience. The service is excellent. Each time before, I have been in for lunch and got the Caesar salad and small pizza with pepperoni and black olives. Even though this visit was dinner, I couldn't help but get the same order since it's so good. My father got the shrimp Alfredo pasta, corn and crab bisque, and house salad with honey mustard. He said everything was delicious. My husband got the Greek wrap with chicken and a small house salad. He liked the wrap but said that the ingredients were unevenly distributed

Pesto Chicken Pizza was EVERYTHING!
Figuring out what to eat for lunch at the office is an Olympic sport and today we won GOLD baby! I've visited the olive branch in Algiers and wasn't always a huge fan but this location exceeded all of my previous expectations.
We ordered and even paid for our meals over the phone so getting in and out was super easy. This location is a lot bigger and also does BYOB with no cork fee. Also, check out the daily specials which were a summer strawberry salad and grilled redfish with veggies on a Tuesday.
I ordered the lunch special which was a 4 inch

Every now and then I get a major craving for pasta and since it had been years since I had been to Olive Branch, we decided that this would be a great place to get dinner.
We got here at around 7 on a Tuesday and we were seated immediately, but I already knew there was going to be an issue because there was a big table full of kids that were screaming and running around and...no, just...no.
We decided to start with an order of cheese sticks while we looked over the menu. There was some type of "2 for $22" special going on where if you ordered two pasta entrees you got them for $22,
