Historical Diner well known to locals-free wifi! OLYMPIA Diner is a family owned restaurant located on Berlin Tnpk for decades. A real treat back in time with metal shell..greenish themed counters and booths. Music box at ea booth you select songs with quarters just as its been since 70s or older. Free WiFi available to customers and very good service. Great cream pies and rich coffee. On one side a typical tubular Diner on back side a lg room full of booths to accommodate plenty. A clean atmosphere and bathrooms. I bring business clients for lunches here as the homey feeling lends itself to relaxing conversations. I work in mental health field so being at ease is key to work I do. Nothing puts a quicker smile on a clients face than coffee and chocolate cream pie..except maybe the banana cream pie!

The food wasnt bad and the service wasnt horrible but a few simple things that makes a big difference. First, we ordered mozzarella sticks which came out really fast but we didnt get any plates, not a problem for me as i eat it in a few bites, but when it comes to my 7 year old daughter its a different story. Then i added bacon to my order which is an additional 2 dollars charged and never got it but got charged for. I wouldve told the waiter but she never came to check up on us until i was already done eating. All and all not worth coming here. WAY to expensive for the amount of food. Food is ok and service is average at best, nothing special here, not coming back.

The service was unbelievable, absolutely what any restaurant owner would dream of. One of the smiling crew, Victoria I believe her name was, gave us friendly, attentive - but not overbearing, courteous service and did not make us feel that we were excessively demanding; even though we need to be- due to our eating challenges. We will return because of the crew. The food was good, we just do not prefer boiled homefries. (But thank u 2 the cook who tried to fulfill our requests!)

Was there around 10:30pm on a week night, the food was good, simple, and warm. The service was amazing! The two girls working that night were very attentive, extremely pleasant, and polite. They seemed to be able to have fun while remaining professional. This was a great departure from the typical Diner service of being seated and ignored forever. The girls were very accommodating and the portions were impressive. We will most certainly return.

Classic US diner. Theres a huge nostalgic through back feeling you get from the first moment you park your car. The food is about what youd expect for a historic diner. Its not the greatest, but its on par with other diners of the same age. Service can be a little slower on the weekends, but if you swing by during the week you shouldnt have any problems. The place is packed on weekend mornings and that can bog down the kitchen.

On our vacation to New England my wife and I had to try a real diner. Breakfast was Eggs over easy with hash browns and toast. When my wife stuck a fork in her hash browns aka boiled potatoes, three other pieces were dangling from her fork. Yes, you guessed it. They were connected by a hair. When this was brought to the waitress attention she calmly said "no charge for the hash browns"

Our jalapeño popper appetizer was so hot that it burned both of our mouths. It even burst all over my lip and caused a sore still painful days later. My patty melt was OK. My boyfriends meatloaf was all breading & the vegetables were canned and nasty looking. The service was good, though another patron had to get up and ask for their check. We will not return.

I was in the area for Wicked Big Meet 2016 at Stafford Springs Motorway and wanted breakfast the day after and decided to try the Olympia Diner and all i can say is Great food, I loved the diner, its very nostalgic from old table top jukebox to the metal walls behind the bar it was a great experience and i totally recommend going here if your in the area.

The worst diner experience ever. Hamburger patti on my patty melt was like an air hockey puck. Greasy fried onions, tasteless rye bread. Absolutely inedible cole slaw. The place was virtually empty so I should have followed my instinct and walked out. The server was nice enough so I left him $5 on a $12 tab.

I really like this Diner! It has a great atmosphere, the good is great, and the hostesses are extremely friendly and welcoming. The only thing I would have to say is I wish someone warned me about no refills on drinks, otherwise I would have opted for just water.

I love a good diner for breakfast and Olympia certainly does not disappoint. The service has been excellent on every occasion with an always topped off cup of coffee and great food in a jiffy. My steak and eggs were perfectly prepared and served piping hot.

The best breakfast place ever. Especially pancakes, eggs, and home fries. Service is friendly and quick. The only downside is the improperly working blinds and the early morning sun shining into your eyes. Still a 6 out of 5 star diner.

Great 50s style diner, with larger restaurant in the back. The food is a mixture of American and Greek. The portion sizes are good, and the prices are very reasonable. I think this is the best quick bite to eat along the turnpike.

Ordered a blt club had all 4 sticks that hold sand. together ended up with 2 more half sticks that I bit into. Showed the waitress she was like no big deal. When I said I bit into them no reaction. Great customer service

Not from the area ask what would be a good place to eat. It was recommended, food was hot tastey, price was good. Service was excellent. It was like rolling time back in years. Definitely will be back when in the area.

Food was good and reasonably priced. Classic diner feel, but coffee wasnt my favorite. Waitresses and bussers were incredibly friendly. Its worth stopping in if youre a local or driving through the area.

While the food is good - possibly better than good. The service is horrible - the prices are outrageous! 7.95 for an omelet? Not ever again. Will be going to Berlin Fare instead. Today was the last time.

We had breakfast there and ordered eggs over light. They were over hard. We shared an order of corned beef hash. There wasnt anything pleasantly memorable about the food but the servers were very nice!!
