I had the spaghetti and meatballs, lunch portion, while on a business lunch. I expected a one to two serving of pasta size dish with a meatball or two. What I got for my $10 was 3-4 technical pasta servings with 4 near tennis ball size meatballs, a large salad and 3 bread stick/rolls. The value for food volume for... More

We love italian food. The food here is OK. The most outstanding dish we had were teriyaki wings, and they were really good. The salad would have been better served in a chilled bowl like Olive Garden does. Greens are greens and the bowl of dressing sitting on top of the salad was rather unappetizing. We had pan pizzas, nothing... More

The restautant is adjacent/joined to one of the worst motels in Baltimore, so if you can deal with that, the restaurant is acceptable. It needs renovation very badly, it still has an odor of cigarette smoke (when smoking was allowed). They give you alot for your dollar, Unlimited salad, fresh breadsticks and the entrees are good. the eggplant parm is... More

Spaghetti and meatballs - very tasty. Chicken Marsala- very good. Eggplant w/mozzarella quite tasteful. All of our dinners were very generous servings. Sald and bread sticks were plentiful. Wine reasonably priced.

This place has it all! Delicious Italian favorites, seafood cooked to perfection, steaks, veal, chops, and great appetizers. The unlimited salad and bread sticks are wonderful too! We had our Agency holiday party here. Everyone got what they wanted, even the vegetarian and vegan folks. You will never be disappointed!

Had not been to this restaurant in awhile with a party of 8 for late lunch. Service was great. Food variety was great. Cost very good value. Everyone was pleased with their food. The bowl of salad and hot buttered rolls were delightful. Portion size was large. Everyone was able to take some home for later

Recently my sister and I had the pleasure of dining at The Olive Branch. They have quite a large menu, and the recent is a little bit on the tacky side, BUT our food was delicious and the service was great. Our waiter was very attentive to our needs allowing us plenty of time to visit while still tending to... More

2.5 years ago I moved out of the state. There is not much I miss about Maryland but for some of the cuisine. The Olive Branch is one of them. The salad and dressing is the best. Pasta and breads are likewise good. I ordered the pasta with sausage and olives, hold the olives. Asked for extra garlic in the... More

The price included entree, drink, gratuity and taxes for one low price. My guests were so impressed. The room was beautiful, EVERYONE enjoyed their meal, and the... More
