Reviews of The Olympia Restaurant (Restaurant)

Jeff Beckett

Great atmosphere

Ralph Moore

The waitress was super friendly. Restaurant not your typical Greek looking restaurant had an absolutely yummy chicken pita souvlaki There was so much food, we thought we were going to explode! I will definately go back. Worth the 25minute drive.

Amanda Penney

Best wings in the area

robert macadam

Amazing Food - must try

J Jaks

The stars are strictly for the food because it was quite good. Apart from that it was an extremely low class environment. Staff and owners swearing up a Blue Streak. Probably explain why the place was basically empty.

Steve Galijet

Nice clean affordable with great Greek food and friendly service. We will be back

Matt Tremblay

Good Greek food, goodbsize and very tasty, customer service was good. I probably will come back again very soon

Ken Dupuis (Badass)

best place ever. food is amazing and great prices. coldest beers in north america. very clean and fresh smelling. the most friendly helpful staff. chris is the best bar owner in the world. greek inspired atmosphere. greek combo chicken pita $7.35 after tax. best bargain for ur buck anywhere in the GWA

Danielle Stante

Very cozy place for having dinner Friendly staff Good quality food They having an awesome live music band

Jamie Thornton

It was a meh experience more of a dive bar but a decent place to get a drink if you're just looking to stop in

Sherlyn Figueira

Food was tasty and good and service was fine except they couldn't get a vodka tonic right...not sure why but it was not carbonated or something. Other than that it was good....

Kim Slote

Service was awful!!! Server did not bring condiments to the table had to ask. Had to ask for another drink, she did not clear dirty dishes as well as empty glasses. Server was no where to be found. Food was just ok.

James Gomm

Very good food & very good price. Must look past every thing else. Do not judge a book by the cover. Go between 6:00pm & 9:00 to avoid the worst of the crowd. Enjoy the food, Georgia, Chris & staff Geri C

It's always a good time at the Olympia. Awesome staff and great prices.

Kaylyn Morrison

They've really cleaned it up the past few years, was in a month ago and it looked great

Tina C

Looks like a local dive bar. Food prices are good. Food was decent depending on what you ordered. Had a sub that was good and chicken gyro was good, but pork souvlaki had a lot of fat on it.

Shelley Lewis

Poutine there is the best i dont care what anybody says

Terra Turgeon

The chicken souvlaki and potatoes are amazing the only thing I don't like there is the salad.

Harol Medina

Meal type

Jordan Adams

Food is a hit and miss! One day you order, it is fine, next time, it is horrible, other days they muck up on the order, missing part of the order...either have to wait...or a credit for next time. Annoying! Get your act together!

Stephanie Rumsby

Good food. Rough crowd

Daniel Lynes

Socially, environment

Betty-jane Duquette

Dirtiest place in town. But if u looking for good wings and a fight with a local drunk it's just what the doctor ordered

Cam K

Best place in Town

Angus Harvey

Great band....good food

Fotoula Christopher

Ordered wings for take out from Olympia tonight and they were fantastic!

Randy Doan

Good food decent price

Brenda Fowler

Good food. Been frequent customers. Now we Wont go back. Staff and Owner behave passive aggressively against people who have legitimate exemptions to the "manditory mask" law. My wife and I arrived at 7pm, got our drinks and salad within about 20 minutes, then where made to wait for our dinner for another 40 minutes. We watched as 3 different couples who arrived after us were served thier dinners and recieved thier check before we got ours. During this time the owner engaged with other tables and encouraged conversation that was rude, bigoted, and discriminatory. Going so far as to suggest those who don't wear masks ought to be subjected to police interrogation and added to a registry before being summarily sent to a quarantine facility for non compliance. Apparently "we deserve what we get" for exercising our rights under the law, the constitution, and the Ontario human rights act. We politely waited for our food as we watched these same people get up, and mjngle with guests from other tables, contrary to the very guidelines they claim are sacrosanct. The hypocrisy and vitriol was disgusting. I respect peoples rights to believe what they want, and wear what they want if that's thier choice, and I won't harass them for it. However its clear there is no mutual respect. My rights don't end were your fear begins. I will exercise my right to vote with my wallet, and I encourage others to do the same.

Elizabeth masswohl

Great food. Great service

Tim Minke

The food is honestly pretty decent. But the service is terrible, ive been given the wrong meal on my takeaway order twice and both times was always a much more expensive dish & they do nothing about it theyd rather argue with you. Im done ordering from olympia , if you like dive bars with decent food than this is the place for you. Just dont order takeout.

Trav Mane

Great food great price

Pamela Bruce

This was my first time at the Olympia restaurant and I have to say the food was amazing ..so much so that we went back the next day !!! best Greek salad I've ever had and the patio was cute and comfy with large tables and privacy ! 5 stars its my new go to !

Tania Bubnick

Outstanding!! Best gyro ever. So so good and friendly service as well. HIGHLY recommend

Hey Its Marc Motivation

Great little restaurant with good service, clean, great price with big portions. Will definitely be going back when in the area.

Febin Baby

great food

ZIGZAG WarChicken

Just ordered from there it took well over an hour for 2 chicken combos. The lady who took my order was soo rude, didn't even let me finish giving my order, before she cut me off to ask my address. My daughter ordered a b.l.t sub and got a sandwich on toast. (But charged for a sub) not very impressed at all. After all that I tried to call back to say they had got the order wrong, the lady picked up said hello, I started my sentence and she hung up on me. Wow. How ever I will give credit where credit is due, the chicken combo was great! Will never order from here again.

Sean Morris

It is a older bar and eatery,the ppl who work there make the place fantastic,but the place itself needs a face lift,it looks a little run down inside

tara c (thebeautifulliar)

More of a bar than a restaurant. Customer service for phone order is very poor from staff. I have called a few times for phone orders, and receive similar service of phone being put on the counter and forgotten about. Most likely staff is chasing tips from customers inside the restaurant. Food is decent.

Aurrex

Great food. Really happy with the Pork Gyro Meal that I ordered. Will probably come back again :)

Justin Dafoe

Amzing food! The owners are the sweetest. So friendly! And the wings! Yum!!! ❤️❤️

Tom Wilkinson

Fantastic greek food with nice serving size Will return again

ChrisB Crunch

Amazing food in a little dive

kylgir

Loved this place. Comfortable and laid back. Good selection of traditional Canadian beers and solid values on Greek cuisine staples. Nothing fancy but then sometimes comfortable is what you need.

Frank Iudiciani

Great prices, always consistent eat in or take out. Friendly owners and great wings.

Troy Michael Kell

Greek food! So good.

Attila Kincses

New owners at this establishment, very clean and upgraded. Food quality is excellent and prices are amazing for the amount of food you get, definitely a place to try!

Joe Lavoie

New tastes every visit, always a delicious surprise of a selected memorable favorite. Chicken souvlaki dinner or a special like the cabbage rolls this weekend, loved the sill twist in the cabbage rolls this week. 5 star.

Paul Timothy

The food is great! The price is right!

Melissa Marie

dont eat there

Khaoss

I just got the chicken souvlaki dinner and it was amazing!! the prices are so reasonable

J Robinson

The Greek salad is very good and the prices are extremely fair. I highly recommend trying the new Olympia. The new ownership makes a huge difference!

Tanera DeBeau

Great food great people Cheers

Jim Winter-Card.

Absolutely fabulous, this place has such a great neighborhood feel. The Authentic Greek food is incredible. This is my new "Go To" place.

Becky Martin

I don't go out to bars as much but when I do my choice is the Olympia. I met my wife here. And I have never had any problems.

Diane Ecker

Ordered some calamari with the assumption that I'd get a dip on the side like it says on the menu.. didn't get a dip. Also waited to be served as my food sat on the counter getting cold, of course it was cold, soggy, over cooked and chewy. Such a bad experience, will not be back.

David Wright

Delish, friendly, fast and great value!

Elizabeth Fraser

Had a great time on my birthday and food was great

Tony Wells

Great food excellent service at reasonable prices

torunn Skjold-Pettersen

Its the olympia. A Welland classic

Kyle

My pregnant friend ejoyed the food that's saying something xD very good food, progries and poutine were on point . Garden Salad with their vinaigrette was a littke bit too salty and the atmosphere while very Shaddy still have a comforting livelyness of a local small business bar/diner. Interesting crowd for sure xD. Only one pool table however ....

Mashid JBR

I've had take out twice and it was very good and fresh. Chicken cooked the right way... much enjoyed

Rocco Zoccoli

Good food but wonder if it is on the health units radar. Very run down greasy spoon that is a local bar/hang out for the less than popular crowd. Wouldnt stay long enough to eat in. Takeout is the beat decision. In huge need of a make over.

Mark Barnfield

Friendly service, great size meal portions and fresh.

Malcolm Williams

Greek food is great. Owner is a great guy, drinks are cheap and the service is fast and friendly.

BEST Greek food in area - fresh and great quality - good portions.

Michael Jutras

0 stars! thanks for the liver that made and the dog sick because it was undercooked (how do you "**undercook**" liver and onions. and just kidding about my dog he wouldn't eat this trash. plus he isn't allowed onions obviously lol -_-) and "instant" mashed potatoes. trust me i've made these once or twice.

Ron paquette

Pete Mancuso

????

Summer Davenport

This place is a hole. The owners don't run the place well at all. It just a bunch of punks in the looking for fights. And when a fight happens those punks from that bar will jump that person and smash a bottle in their face so don't go there bad place

Rick Goulet

Excellent food and prices

Norm Lessard

Food is good and fairly priced beer is cold

Slip Pwwn

The food is really good and reasonably priced. The beer is always cold. The interior could probably use some updates but it doesn't bother me.

Fenton Bates

Under new management!!! Got to meet the owners Heather and Lou to compliment them on the food and the changes that they have made. The old Olimpia had a but if a name from the patrons that they had, but the new management has got the train back on the tracks. The food is amazing, everything we have had there is so great. Been trying different things on the menu with no disappointment. There is no other place in Welland that can beat their price and quality of their food. Staff was great also.

Jeff P

Dine in

Doug Zack

The food we had there was good and not expensive. The staff we felt were very aloof. When I entered the men's washroom I was floored. It needs a total facelift and there is no lock on the toilet stall door. Very dirty. I didn't want to touch any surface.

Doug Terreberry

Food is good taste wise and price wise. Very welcoming atmosphere. Get take out here at least once a week. Definitely recommended!

Paul Stone

One word describes this "restaurant" ; DIVE! They have been sending out very nice menus with coupons using ValPack. Great prices and selection even without the discounts. When I called to confirm their business hours, the person that answered appeared to be deaf and kept asking me what I said and were extremely rude. I did visit and the building is old and run down, the food was TERRIBLE! It's really no more than a seedy bar with a room full of drunk patrons, makes me wonder if the servers all failed their Ontario Liquor Server certification and were working here under the table. The place was a mess, makes me wonder what Niagara Regional Health Department Officer has been paid off not to visit. You get what you pay for - cheap food, terrible quality, non-existent service unless you are ordering lots of beer! RATING: ZERO

Mike Plume

Great food the regulars that always go to drink though something needs to be done about them

Jackie Olenik

I ate there the other day and Erica and the owner really exceeded my expectations. Great work service and food

Katie baby

Lice Music great atmosphere cold brews

Sandra Walker

The food is fabulous . The staff is great . If your looking for fancy this is not the place to go , but a lovely spot with wonderful food ..

Jeanine R

NO FLAVOUR! I ordered the chicken souvlaki, the chicken was plain, dry and rubbery, the potatoes were nice and soft but ZERO flavour, the rice is also bland, overcooked, and soggy. There is NO Greek flavour at all. The tzatziki sauce is sour cream, with a slight garlic flavour. I can't even compliment the salad, the dressing again NO flavour, just olive oil taste. The baklava again don't want to sound like a broken record but it was plain. It's missing the honey flavour (my guess is you water it down) the spice was off and it was dry on top, chewy dough bottom....What a waste of money :(

Heather Tessier

We were in hopes for a really good Greek meal and it turns out this place is just a local watering hole. More non Greek food on the menu than greek. Better greek food at your local mall food court, don't plan to return.

Doug

Great food at wonderful prices. Ambience is being improved slowly, surely.

Crystal Reece

Always 10/10. Service and food are always great.

edward horton

have never had a bad meal here. great food great price. the right time of month theres a good show.

Brenda Rowbottom

Well first half my order was missing ,then when it finally came it was cold , i mean ICE COLD and again missing an item , do yourself a solid and do not make a nice night into a nightmare , get your food anywhere but here .

Digital Technical

Awesome Greek food

dan cook

Love coming here for burgers and rings

Robert Jackson

Great food.

Hayley Crowther

Grungy. Not the place I remember from 20+ years ago.

Explore Agency

Great food at a great price!!!

Rock V

Good food, good prices

Todd Hamstra

A place to go to drown your sorrows. Good " drinking hole" and decent food. The apearance is a little shady.

Patti Sawyer

Great food for the price. And a very nice bartender.

Yvonne Keller

Hands down the best wings in town , great new ownership fantastic service everytime !!

Henry Franks

To be honest it's a dive bar with good food, cold beer, good service and great prices.

Christine Burton

I love the food, great prices and mostly friendly staff. Just need to update menu.

Christine Annable

Great food great service

Wanda Vanzutphen

New Ownership same great kitchen staff great atmosphere and updated restrooms

Eddy Campos

Great Place Outstanding band playing tonight

K K

For all the bad reviews about this place, people relax. They're feeling COVID staffing issues. Stop bashing them. Welland doesn't have a lot of greek spots so I come here often for take-out. Probably going tonight since it's 830PM and most places are closing soon. The food is decent and yes it's a bar vibe but they're not advertising fine dining here folks.

Nadia Potter

Great food, great service and friendly.

David Fox

Always friendly, always great food!!! Rockin place once reopened for bar bands!!!

Mario Nero

Amazing greek food ???? great staff and great prices

Paul Nevin

Nice food low prices

Jeff Goss

We decided to go there because it had a nice big patio... and I've heard they have a pretty good souvlaki platter... which they do... The waitresses were very nice and even though they were way understaffed they did their best to tend to our needs... But the clientele was "sketchy" at best... at one point an argument broke out a couple tables over... and me and the other "Dad" next table over took notice... I won't bring my 6 year old there again... I doubt he'll bring his daughters there either... but that being said... I will 100% be ordering take out...

David Disch

Gotta love the food...

Derek Moore

Good plain food, reasonable prices

Mike Mckibbon

The food is consistently delicious at the Olympia (a feat most restaurants can't accomplish.). The order is always correct and complete .. the people are nice and the prices are decent .. worth 5 stars for sure

Ron Demers

Best wings in town

frank Notarianni

Been going there for 12 years Don't judge a book by the cover Look past see Chris and Georgia place as it is Warm friendly , good food and good value

joe smith

Great place to eat!!!

Mike Jakusz

Not the greatest atmosphere but thr food is great and the drinks are cheap, clean it up and I'd give 5 stars.

Allan Gillam

Good dive bar

Geri Canimhart

Way too salty,too much on the grease and oil,the poutine fries with salty gravy,bad for blood pressure,also the chicken wrap,way too greasy.Too much oil on the salad,thought I was drinking virgin oil,instead of a salad.Don't, like the place 2 thumbs down.I wouldn't recommend the place.

Christine Kriskovic

Great price for the quality of food... Food quality is fresh and large portion prices are ridiculously inexpensive ..... Remodeling is needed

Kris E

Just had the steak dinner with lemon village potatoes and I upgraded to the Greek salad. So good. The price was more than fair and a good quantity of delicious food

Cory Moxam

1 star is even to much.. There was 4 of us my food was nasty mash potatos was stone cold fish was hard at ends biting into it would have broke my teeth.. Plus she forgot my soup.. My grandson had steak dinner and was over cooked.. Place is dirty and server's are very loud.. Screaming to people across the room.. You could smell alcohol on server's breath.. Bathroom was dirty.. Will never go back

Dube Smith

Food is great!

Mercedes Lover

Good food

baba juta

Good people there

Bruce Bender

Great place for food and a couple drinks

Helene Noble

I love the chicken souvlaki and you get a huge amount for $10. The staff are super friendly. When I order food for takeout, it's ready on time, well priced, large serving, hot and tastes great. What else can you ask for?

Mark Letourneau

Pork souvlaki dinner was excellent. The salad crisp and fresh. The ambience was nice and friendly, "darlin". Enjoyed greatly. Thanks, I will be back.

Ray Ellis

I used to get good food here but lately it's gone straight downhill. Recently bought three Steak Subs that had to go straight in the garbage. Nobody could eat them. Will not be buying food from there again

Leo Lykos

First visit. Questions about the menu, waitress didn't know about menu, manager sitting down wouldn't get up to help and just answered in yes or no answers. She wouldn't help us understand greek cuisine, she just argued. Combine with darkness, empty room, ants on bar top, we will not be back. Went to Johnnies. They helped us, explained things and served great food. Cleaner brighter room with customers.

norm bull

Reminded me of Barney's bar on the Simpson's.

Chad Mattei

Very nice place

Tammera Boyd

Amazing food and great prices, looks a little weird but would definitely go again
