I originally place this review under Olympic by mistake. The Olympic diner is no more. It is now called The Classic Diner and everything from the decor, food and service has been awesome. Due to its unique location at the intersection of Lefferts Blvd, Myrtle and Jamaica Avenues, they have two 8 car parking lots on each side of the building. The decor inside and out does remind me of a classic contemporary diner. The building has a big clock that can be seen a block away. The food are big portions for the price which is not expensive. Kudos to the chef which offers classic dishes as well as unique tasty ones. Each day has specials and on Friday they offer the best Greek Lemon Chicken soup. Been here for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Sundays mornings are busy so go early. Highly recommended.

I went last night for dinner and it was a very upsetting time. First, the manager yelled at his workers right next to me and he also argued in greek to another man. Second, this last man, our waiter, was so upset he didnt come when we called him for the check. We had to asked the bus boy for a check and when the waiter finally came woth it, he just dropped it on the table without saying any word. Food was ok but service not ok. Ive been there a couple of times and Ive seen 2 managers, both very rude to costumers and his own workers. This was the last time I ate at that "classic dinner".

Went there 2 weeks ago. Noticed if I go alone and with a newspaper, they stick you at the smallest booths. This weekend, I noticed 5 empty larger booths, and at least 3-4 empty parking spots in their small lot as I went in. I kindly asked to be seated at a larger table so I could enjoy my breakfast while reading the Sunday paper. I was flat out refused by the guy who greets you, with a menu in hand, as you enter. What an a-hole he was. Wont be back there if they wont accommodate.

I usually dont let other reviewers opinions affect me and keep me from ordering but in this case I shouldve listened. I ordered breakfast and it was WAY OVERPRICED. Im talking $48 for a one person meal with eggs, bacon, toast, coffee, fruits, slice of strawberry shortcake. I almost didnt pay but then felt sorry for the delivery person. Another thing I noticed is prices depend on which waitress takes your order. Different prices for the same items. Thumbs wayyyy down !

Heard great things...looking for a suday brunch spot, decided to come on over on a Wednesday. Its bright bustling clean. I was underwhelmed in service and food. Maybe it was due to the morning crowd. But there was rushed service no attention to detail. Coffee not good. Beverages were thrown on my table half wet. I guess I got the fast food experience. My search for good service continues.

Menu is solid, food was good and the waiting was acceptable. Servers however. I had to get up in order to take my order in, we pretty much ate our plate without a drink refill in which we had to again, look for a server and request for it and now currently waiting also to get the check. Overall good prices and food was really good. Just wish the servers were way more attentive.

Ordered shrimp for a pricey $21.95 and got 5 prongs a crap-load of undercooked peas and a slice of orange. These guys are way overpriced and I cant afford them. I get A LOT MORE FOOD from Vincent and Andrea. Their Seafood salad gives you shrimp, clam,calamari,mussel,pepper,tomato and red onions for $9.95. I have NO AFFILIATION to V&A just stating the obvious.

Very busy here on Presidents Day 2017. Wife and I had early lunch, at around noon. Very generous Chicken Parmesan Hero on their Lunch Specials. Included Fries and very nice Chicken Vegetable Soup. Recommended. There is a ramp, so wheelchair accessible. WiFi is Cable WiFi (Time Warner et al).

I visited during the Summer on a Sunday morning. The staff was friendly, food presentation was a plus. The food was great! I order a broccoli omelette with cheese, my wife had chicken finger. It was a good experience. Rating of Five to all: Staff, Food, and Location.

The people here are very friendly, and have wonderful space for eating alone, dining for two, or lots of friends. Their bathrooms are never dirty, and there is never a waiting line to use them. They regularly offer specials, and great deals on two for ones.

Do not eat here, I repeat do not! Unless if you want to eat glass then you can come here. It was my first time eating at this diner and I ordered a chicken wrap, however there was a big piece of glass found in my food!!! I was rushed to the ER right away.

It has that good old neighborhood feel to it. Sunday morning breakfast or Saturday afternoon when you dont feel like cooking but want wholesome home-like meal. Or just breakfast 4 in the afternoon because you missed it in the morning.

Food has been undercooked twice already. Salads are not fresh. Not the best diner food I have had- and its a shame this area needs a good Diner. New cook needed or someone to better manage the prep and distribution. Real shame.

Wish I could give them no stars at all, I came in with my parents and were sat down and at least more than 10 minutes passed by and no waiter even after the fact I mentioned wheres our waiter. Rude and very unprofessional.

Best diner place ever! Great food to eat there or to order out. Waiters and bus guys are all super nice. Family and I are regulars. Love the burger options and the turkey cream soup! Cant rave about this place enough.

Little pricey, but delivery is just as good as going to eat it. Its great diner food. Cant go wrong with the burgers and fries. Onion rings will have you rethinking the rest of the meal, as the portions are HUGE.

Great food just the service needs improvement the wait in between meal and server check back is too long and there organization needs work Ive been there several time and they always seem to forget something.

Service was extremely slow and waiter never checked on us after placing the order. We even had to run them down to pay. Very unprofessional place. Food was good otherwise but I will probably never return.

Always a great food experience and the prices are pretty good. Waiters are nice and accommodating. I order from here frequently and have not been disappointed so far.

Came here twice and both times the meals were on point, only reason not 5 stars is that its a bit on the pricey side but food was good and a lot of different options!
