To the manager at the lovely "family" restaurant I just took my beautiful family out to eat at, Yes, I noticed you watching our every move from the moment we walked in, to the moment we got up to leave. I noticed as you whispered to the waitress to come ask us "what we wanted", instead of if we were ready yet while we glanced over the menu and balanced our toddler. I noticed you cringing every time she laughed or babbled to her mommy and daddy. I noticed you staring at us throughout our ENTIRE meal, making us too uncomfortable to even eat. I noticed when you walked past and glared at each and every one of my husband and Is tattoos up and down. I know what you were doing, I know you thought "people like us" couldnt possibly afford to eat at your wonderful restaurant, or be responsible for the child we brought along, I know you thought we would skip the bill. I hope you enjoyed being proved wrong as we paid our check, left an honest tip, and smiled at you as we left. I hope next time youll think before you judge a book by its cover.

I have made numerous stop at Olympians since I have been to the area. The first restaurant I went to when I moved here was Olympians! I have not been disappointed yet. I have tried a number of items on the menu, and I would recommend them all; such as the shish kebob, Chicken Souvlaki, and THE PIZZA! Portions are plentiful, you will definitely be able to take some home for later. I came for the greek cuisine but came back for the pizza! You would have no idea a restaurant like this would make phenomenal pizza. As for the staff, they are wonderful. I have seen the owner numerous times working the floor and speaking with the patrons. When Ive asked the opinion of the waitresses they all give good recommendations and know the menu well. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone. They have a little bit of everything on the menu when it come to any Mediterranean cuisine or delicious pizza.

My friend who lives in the neighborhood right behind it took me there. This was about 2 months ago. I fell in love! They have the best white pizza I have ever had. But, my main attraction there is the iced tea. It is two dollars and you get an ENTIRE PITCHER for yourself and unlimited refills. In fact, last week I went here every single day, for 8 days straight. One day, I went just for the Iced tea. The service runs about half and half, however. Many of the waiters are seasoned and thus, very speedy and kind. There are a handful that I make a point to avoid, because they are very rude, take 3 times as long, and act as though youre cutting into some personal stock of theirs. all in all, I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who likes good food cheap and relatively fast.

Olympians is right down the street from the day job, so my work amigos and I regularly enjoy hitting up this local gem for some amazingly good lunch grub. Olympians offers a wide variety of food, from Greek gyros to pizza to burgers. My personal favorite is the Reuben burget - a hefty burger with Swiss cheese , sauerkraut, corned beef, and dressing. It may not be the healthiest option on the menu, but Id argue its the most delicious. Give Olympians a try for lunch or dinner - you wont leave disappointed.

Order the Linguini Alfredo with extra Shrimp and a side salad. Everything was served to almost as soon as I ordered it. I was surprised by the size of the shrimp. Much larger than expected. Everything was cooked to perfection and exploding with flavor. The only thing I did not care for was the abundance of sauce. The noodles and and shrimp almost began to swim in it. But otherwise everything was great. Wish I had friends in the area to recommend this place to.

Some what pricey for food that isnt always super amazing.. avoid pasta, mozzarella stick, and the stuffed challah. Friendly staff but even when its not busy in here I find myself waiting a very long time just to get my check, which is weird in comparison to how quickly my food comes out. Also breakfast is weekends only which works for me.

My wife, daughter and I were given dirty looks and could visibly see the manager staring at us whispering most likely rude things towards us. On multiple occasion he would walk past my wife and I while looking us up and down at our tattoos and make a disgusted look. We will definitely never return to this "family" place.

The best thing about my "dinner" was the salad. The pasta I had was not that good, the sauce had barely any flavor other then tomato. My server was also very slow, it took her almost 20 minutes to notice that I was done with my meal. I was looking forward to trying this place but I dont believe I will be coming back.

One of my all-time favorite local eateries....has a distinctly Greek bent to the cuisine, but their Italian-themed dishes are equally outstanding. Most reasonably priced, fast and friendly service, and one other thing to keep in mind...if you need catering, DEFINITELY keep Olympians in mind! HIGHLY recommended!

We eat at Olympians a lot! The food is always good. We particularly like the Greek salads with grilled chicken on top. The salads are very large, so get the smaller size if its just for one person. This is a family restaurant, so the people are always very nice and friendly.

Had chicken parm. It was dry, probably frozen. Spaghetti overcooked. Tomato sauce like ketchup. French onion soup was good. My side salad had one kalamata olive with pit in. Probably out of a can. Maybe the Greek food is better. Food comes super fast.

Weve been going to this restaurant for years - always get very good Greek food (never ate Italian here.) The quantities are generous and consistent in quality. This restaurant is perfect for families - not fancy but warm atmosphere with friendly staff.

The food is really good. However, the service is REALLY spotty. The staff are friendly enough most of the time, but service is extremely slow. They also dont tell you that you need to pay at the register and so you are left to figure that out on your own

GYROs! They make the soul happy. Then I found out they served breakfast all day! The manager came to the table and chatted with us for a bit. He seemed to really enjoy his customers and passed that on with his overall attitude. Good eats!

We visit for some Gyros at least every trip to the area about every three months or so it seems. Never had to wait for a table and the fllavors are good. More non-Greek on the menu than Greek is the only surprise.

Excellent food and wonderful service! Greek salad with chicken souvlaki is our go to default. The Chicken Decker sandwich is delicious and has two chicken breasts on it and bacon!! You will never leave hungry.

Excellent Greek food. Delicious gyros. I highly recommend this place. Large menu. Its almost always busy, but they have a smooth operation and the food is delivered surprisingly quickly.

Olympians offer a great variety of tasty Greek and international food with a wide selection of beer and wine choices. The restaurant has excellent service and has a welcoming atmosphere
