I'm not a big Olga's groupie and hence I wasn't getting excited about the new one in Canton. I view Olga's as just a more upscale Coney Island diner. I wanted a quick bite to eat. Plus, I wanted to buy an overpriced coconut cupcake at the cupcake place next door. So, I popped in to Olga's. Parking was a nightmare! It didn't help that some spots were reserved for carry out only. The staff was friendly enough. Still, I had to wait for a table even though there were several available. However, it wasn't a long wait. The menu offerings were light. I don't mean calorie wise. I mean there wasn't a lot of choices. The food was bland. However, the biggest sin was that there wasn't very much of it. Now, come on Olga's, you sent me out the door with my hunger barely dimmed. I had to buy two cupcakes next door! read more

I absolutely love Olga's but the last two times my daughter and I have been in there it has not been a good experience. I ordered a Steak & Cheese Olga and the meat was not cooked well and I asked for extra cheese and got no cheese. The restaurant was not busy but the service was slow. I wish they would maybe change a few things at this location and then it would be great!!! read more

The food was nice and hot for my girl and I coming in when they were about to close. Our server was nice and right on time with the service. We would return again. The only challenge we had was when we checked into Yelp we received a free desert with a purchase. Well the server had closed our our bill and said we had to wait until the next. She should of reopened the ticket to accommodate the customers read more

Olga's Kitchen - Dessert - Sandwiches Near Me - Canton, Michigan

Long before My Big Fat Greek Redtaurant chain, metro Detroiter's had Olga's Kitchen. A staple since the 70's, not much has changed except the decor. Good food, good service, good prices! read more

This review is purely based on service not food quality as it is usually typical. I will say they missed giving us the cheese for the Snackers but much credit in this chaotic time with all of the shutdown due to The Cove in 19 pandemic. The server who said her name was Vina I think I was hustling in and out in the pouring rain without a jacket taking orders curbside even without calling them in. The server is definitely management material showing initiative and care towards satisfactory customer service noticing that car pulled in the lot even though there was not a order already placed . Service by employees like this needs to be acknowledged and recognized . In this crazy time that we are in right now please remember that your servers live off of tips and just because you're calling in a takeout order doesn't mean they didn't work twice as hard to serve you your meal acknowledge this with an appropriate tip. read more

I probably wont go back. Very overpriced for the very small portions of food. I don't like olgas greasy fries and am annoyed that you HAVE to pay for fries or salad with your sandwich. Skip this location and go to Laurel Park or Novi instead - the portions are generous and the prices are much better. read more

I've been to other Olga's before and never had a problem until we stopped in here the other day. I ordered the fajitas expecting to get a dish that looked like the photo on the menu. When the food was brought out, it was quite a disappointment. Way too much rice and way too little chicken. I asked our server to get the manager but the manager refused to come over and speak with me. I'll never go back to Olga's and I will make sure that everyone I know hears about their poor customer service!!! read more

Olga's Kitchen - Not nearly like the menu photo - Sandwiches Near Me - Canton, Michigan

See all

Unlike some of the other reviewers, going to the Canton Olga's marked my first experience with this chain, unless you count the catered meal that prompted me to go there because I enjoyed it so much. I've gotten takeout from here a number of times now, and I've eaten in once. The quality is consistent, and the Original Olga is amazingly delicious and certainly the best item on the menu. The meat is fresh and the bread is amazing. I got my friends hooked as well. Go without hesitation. You won't regret it. I didn't expect the food to be this good for such a low price, especially from a chain. read more

Olga's is probably one of the best places to have a meal any time. Seriously. If you're a fan of the gyro, this place is right up your alley. I have never (okay...very rarely) had a bad experience in an Olga's. With that, this is my favorite location in the Metro-Detroit area. It is the cleanest of all the Olga's restaurants. That's probably due to the fact that it's one of the more modern of the chain. I love the ambience of this particular location because it's in a plaza...a standalone Olga's location that's not located in a busy mall. The cleanliness is topnotch and you'll always sit down right away when you walk in. The music level is perfect...just loud enough to jam to but quiet enough that you can hear yourself think AND talk to the person across from you at the same time. Today, our server was very quick to the table to take our order. We started off with an order of the Snackers. Minutes later they were at the table piping hot. They were fresh and crispy...just the way they should be eaten. I ordered the original Olga which is, simply put, the BEST gyro sandwich you'll ever eat. It came to our table very quickly. The meal was amazing and ate every last bite. My only complaint was that the fries weren't as hot as I like them. Of course, I could eat anything out of the frier...that's what we're going for. That's okay, though...most places don't know that preference of mine. I actually had room for dessert today, so I went with the Birmingham Best Brownie. VERY, VERY, tasty. A warm brownie with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream, this dessert is served warm with a dollop of whip cream on top. It's not too much to enjoy after a mammoth gyro sandwich. What made the dessert even better was that simply by checking in here on Yelp, I was able to eat my dessert for FREE. Yeah...free never tasted so good! Olga's has done an excellent job at rebranding themselves over the last few years. Whoever their director of marketing is should be the next president of the United States. :) Thanks for today's experience! read more

Great place to eat lunch with great service. I enjoyed the spinach and feta snacker as an appetizer. Then came the sesame chicken with curly fries which was satisfying. This place is great for my son who orders chicken tenders and fries. He enjoyed and I finished it. Service was prompt to fill drinks and run food. Will be back. read more

Olga's Kitchen - Sandwiches Near Me - Canton, Michigan

I just moved in the area and I was looking for new places to try out. I had never been at Olga's but I thought why not. I looked up the reviews on Google and most of them were bad, but I was hungry so I just ignored them. I work at a restaurant, and we sit our customers within 2 minutes of them showing up so I was quite surprised when it took the hostess 12 minutes to sit me. There were a lot of open tables, but they weren't clean, and the hostess was also working at carryout and bussing tables. If this place got a busboy/girl, that would solve a lot of problems. I got sat at a big table and I was by myself; they could have utilized that big table better and sat me at a single booth instead, but that's not a problem. My waitress was great. She was kind, and she knew what she was doing. She offered a great service, and provided me with refills and other things as soon as I requested them. I ordered the mozzarella dip snack for starters. It was delicious. I loved it. And then I ordered the Angus Steak Burger with curly fries and the vanilla ice cream which I asked to be turned into a sundae with caramel syrup. First, the steak burger was delicious. And the curly fries were really good, very light and easy to taste. I was a little bit disappointed that my ice cream sundae didn't come with toasted walnuts on top as advertised, but that wasn't a problem at all. I figured maybe they had run out of walnuts (it's a restaurant, it happens). My bill came up to be 25$. I was a little bit surprised and some of their items, such as drinks,were a little bit more pricey that most places. But that didn't matter; the food was delicious and the service was great. The waitress that was serving the table next to me was really bad and I figured maybe she was new but that didn't bother me. Overall, a really nice place with an elegant design, great food, and good service. Would definitely recommend to try it. read more

I have not been to Olga's in over two years and thought I would give it a try. Big mistake! We went to the Olga's on Beck & Grand River in Novi, Mi. I ordered a trio that consisted of a miniature Olga Original, Broccoli soup and a Salad. Where do I start? When our meal was brought to us, they were out of silverware. Explain how we were to eat our salad and soup without utensils? We brought it to their attention but they were not the least bit concerned. They finally brought silverware to us after 3-4 minutes. The soup was luke warm almost to the point it was cold. The lettuce in my salad was extremely soggy and limp (Ugh!) and my Olga sandwich was so full of grease, I could not eat it. I even took the meat out of the wrap and used napkins to soak up the grease. Four napkins later, I gave up. I didn't eat anything it was so awful! What a disappointment! Will I come back? Definitely not! There are plenty of other restaurants in the area where I can experience a good dining experience. Sorry about the bad review- even sorrier I left Olga's hungry! read more

Good food and service. Ask for Lindsay she's the best. This location seems newer than most.

Olga's has great food and service! Our food did not disappoint and our server, Lindsay M., was great! She was very prompt and provided amazing service to us. We will be back soon! read more

The food was great! My friend and I shared the snackers and got an Olga's Original. I love it because it isn't dripping with grease, like at some other places. It was decently priced! I gave it a 4 (instead of a 5) because of the service. If you check in on yelp, it says you get a free dessert. I told the waitress and she had to go talk to the manager twice, then had to take my phone back to him. He seemed mad about it..it was a $1.99 dessert..I wasn't trying to cheat the place, I just saw the coupon. At the point, I didn't even want it, but the waitress gave it to me anyway (after having to ring up a new bill to show the free dessert). What was going to be a quick lunch ended up taking an hour and fifteen minutes. Great food, but don't bring a coupon!! read more

Food was okay, but my main issue with this place is the pricing. Their prices are FAR to high for a diner type restaurant like Olgas. Couple that with the place being run by what appeared to be all teenagers goofing off the entire time in the back, and appearing once in a one hour period, that makes it a 2-star. The only reason I'm not rating it 1-star is because the food was average. Lesson learned never again. read more

Really great service, especially by Paighton A. She made my overall experience a whole 10/10!

I had a great experience at Olgas kitchen! Lindsay was my waitress and she was friendly, kind, and very on top of it! My food was brought out quickly and Lindsay really made the effort to make my experience good!! read more

The food is good and the place is busy in the evenings. One thing needed is somebody to manage the staff. Employees were all over the place, miscommunication, and slow customer service seem to get in the way of the food. read more

Wow! Last time I went to an Olga's Kitchen it was just a cut above your typical coney island diner with some good soups. This Canton location was a very pleasant surprise indeed. Great modern decor and interesting upbeat music made it feel like an exciting place to eat and, I should add, they have a new, very healthy menu. I got the Turkey pastrami with artichoke sandwich with a side salad. The salad was tossed with a Greek dressing and had plum tomatoes, small olives and a few dark greens along with the iceburg lettuce. Very nice. The sandwich was warm and wrapped in a bread that is far superior to the kind of doughy "flat bread' that they serve as a 'healthy choice" at subway and had a nice sauce as well. I don't count calories but as a rule try to avoid carbohydrates. I'll certainly be back here. Overall, healthy, delicious food, buzzing atmosphere and great service! read more

I was pleasantly surprised at the new look at this one in Canton. Updated modern looking decor, seating and lighting. Plus they serve beer and wine which is an added bonus! I avoided Olgas for years becuase I had grown weary of the tired cafeteria look at the ones you find at the mall. I have eaten here on numerous ocassions and have always found the food to be of high quality. You can pretty much order anything off the menu and it will be good. its a great place for a nice lunch with your friends The location on Ford Road &Haggerty makes it a pain to get in and out of the parking lot, especially during peak times. Otherwise 5 stars read more

I really enjoy Olga's and it is nice to finally have one locally - for one - and that is not in some mall location. The knock on this place is the location (Ford Rd. is terrible) and the parking - which I presume cannot be their fault and is due to the location off Ford Rd. So you really have to park in and behind the building. But, not the end of the world. Maybe the other drawback is how busy it can be and then having to wait. This location is new, sleek and modern. Really nice. It is the same as any Olga's menu. So not much to elaborate on. You either like Olga's or maybe you don't. If you have never been - gotta give it a try once. The snackers are awesome for app. I like many of the sandwiches I have tried and they all have a great blend of flavor. I also love the white chicken chili. As with any chain - I'm sure there is something on the menu that is not ideal - but I haven't tried it myself yet. Me and the wife have a ritual of stopping here before hitting a movie - usually on an afternoon off when it is less busy. read more

I did a curbside pickup today and my pick up time was at 1:30 and I arrived at 1:32 and there was other people who pulled up after me and even after I pushed the I arrived bottom everyone else still got their food before me and when I finally get mine 10 minutes later my fries are cold and not even fully done and my snackers were terrible all mushy and not done either like everything was messed up and cold the only thing that was right was my Dr Pepper I'm surprised I even got a straw , definitely won't be back read more

I know I wrote a review on here before, but for some reason it's gone now, it was a good review at the time too, oh well I was going to update it anyway thanks to our last experience.... My wife and I had stopped in after shopping at Ikea (yes we were tired), the place wasn't busy but it still took at least 15 minutes for someone to come around and just get a drink order. Food came out and my wife had a hair in her sandwich, it really doesnt get much worse. We let the waitress know and she took her plate away, I was done too after that but she left mine. The manager had come by as well and we explained what happened, they handled things well but for some reason insisted on giving us another sandwich. We were both completely grossed out, why the hell would we want more??? This has taken Olga's completely off our list of possible places to go when we're out. read more

Ate at Olgas today for lunch and really like it. I had the sesame grilled chicken Olga, my friend had the regular Olga. Here where I do not like it. My lunch with tip was $16.50 I can get a lunch combo at any Mid-Eastern place from 6.99-9.99 Olgas needs to get some lunch combos going. read more

Can't get enough of those snackers! By far one of my favorite MI casual restaurants. Can we please get these going in Orlando? read more

Olga's Kitchen - All you can eat snackers, soup and salad - Sandwiches Near Me - Canton, Michigan

We had a wonderful meal with excellent service at this location. The fried chicken Olga never disappoints. I highly recommend trying one if you haven't. My wife had the Peasant soup with snackers bread and said she enjoyed it. The restaurant looked clean and parking wasn't an issue for us as some other reviews pointed out. read more

Don't bother getting the manager to come out if you have a problem because they won't. Granted they took the price off the bill but it's nice to be able to know they care enough to come to the table so you can explain things to them. Especially when there were only 3 other tables with customers. Unacceptable. read more

Pretty disappointed with the service at this location. Waitress wasn't very friendly and made little eye contact. Boyfriend ordered a sandwich without onions only to get served onions. Stuff happens so he picked them off and put them on a napkin. The waitress came to our table about 2 or 3 times after and didn't acknowledge that his order was messed up. We weren't expecting to get something for free or a discount but she really couldn't just apologize or ask about it as they are sitting there right on the table? As I was finishing my meal I found a short black hair on my plate. By the time I noticed we were ready to just get the hell out of there. If you are a snacker lover like me I suggest heading over to the dearborn location. read more

This is such a great location. The food is always fresh and hot. we love the service we always receive especially from Lindsay. She always goes the extra mile to make sure we have the best dinning experience possible. read more

I don't know why I continue to come here. I love the food, and I loved the Olga's of old, but the customer service here is always deplorable. They have two tiny tables stuffed near a wall near the entrance they always try to sit you at even when they are clearly other more comfortable tables available. I wish they would just get rid of those tables. Secondly, the hostess has a terrible attitude, and everyone is very slow. I see it was recently voted best workplaces, and my guess is, the management is very lax and lazy. I've worked in the food service industry for a good portion of my life including an Olga's. I expect a lot more out of this place, and I'm always SEVERELY disappointed. read more

The manager (Jeff) reached out and invited us to give this location another shot. Today was a complete difference. We got seated right away. The server (Lauren) was super friendly and attentive. She kept up with refills and make sure everything was great. Snickers were delicious first time they came out. The floors and tables were clean as well as the glassware. You can tell that they are really putting heart into making the restaurant the way it should be. Definitely wouldn't mind making more trips to this location. read more

We absolutely LOVE this Olga's. As loyal patrons of the Westland Mall location, we were thrilled when we found out that there was one opening down from our house. The newer, modern design is simply beautiful. For those complaining about the noise and condensed menu, it's a new concept store and the menu is tailored to this store. If you think that it's too uppity for you, then don't take your business to the Canton restaurant...save the seats for those of us who appreciate it!! read more

This was my first time eating at any Olga's. I work on the road alot and am getting very tired of fast food so i saw a sign for here while visiting MI. was surprised to see something different so i tried the Mediterranean with zucchini fries and the olga salad and finished it off with lemon honey cheese cake. the sandwich was very good the fries were deep fried might have like it better if they were baked chips instead but still decent. the salad was pretty good had a good amount of olives and seasoned just right. the cheesecake was pre made frozen but still tasty with the strawberry puree. I thought the price was pretty decent and not over the top. My waitress was very fast very courteous and very informed on the menu also pleasing to the eyes. read more

Excellent food and service! My server Jen was very fast, nice and informative. She suggested a seasonal dessert the pumpkin bread pudding and it was so yummy. I will definitely be back!!! read more

This is my favorite Olga's!!! Very clean and professional. Food came out fresh and in a timely manner. All the workers are great, but even the manager took time out of his day to make sure my meal was up to par (which it was!!) Thanks!! read more

Ordered online and of course things were missing. Did not ask for no onions yet they were missing. The butter that was supposed to go with the chips was also missing. Expensive, yet just average. Probably the last time we order from Olgas. read more

Disgusting. The chicken taste like rubber in the chicken shawarma. It doesn't even resemble chicken. It is overpowering with onions, which I assume is to make up for the quality of the main ingredient. I threw mine away after two bites. Don't waste your money. read more

Now I understand Olga's had hit the skids, but I found this location to be quite nice. The service I experienced was over the top friendly and the food was reminiscent of Olga's of yesteryear. Just in case I hit this place on a lucky day, I went back again. Service again, was nice and the food equally as nice. Here's hoping the keep the trend up and Olga's has found some traction towards regaining its formerly high standing. read more

Olga's has got to be the most underappreciated Sandwich Franchise on Earth. This place is a true Michigan Icon and I have never ever had a bad sandwich here or at any store. Their entire menu is good as a matter of fact. The Canton Olga's is a clean place with nice lighting and offers patrons a nice place to have a good meal and have a nice chat with friends, families, or yourself. (When I take an Olga's bite, I'm always asking myself, "Is this heaven or is this for real?") The staff is wise on the menu but more importantly, very nice people. Pretty sure Olga's only hires the bestest of people. Their website is really helpful if you want to order food online. I highly recommend signing up for their emails. They send you awesome deals that include buy one sandwich get one free, which is always a plus if you have a wolf-like appetite like I do. What makes an Olga Original different than any other Gyro in town is definitely the pita bread. It comes out perfectly chewy and crisp. The bread also has a nice distinctive sweetness to it that you don't get at other places. It's really special. The sweetness enhances the fresh meaty flavor of the lamb. I like to add cheese to my Olga's sandwich. It's a cheese blend, but one of the cheeses is cheddar. As we all know, cheddar and meat go hand in hand for a special flavor experience. The onion, Olga's sauce, and tomatoes just brings everything together. The spinach pie and soups are really good too. The Peasant Soup will warm up your Fall/Winter with each tasty bite of comfort. I love extra Black Pepper to mine for an extra zing! My favorite item from this store is the Olga Snackers. Olga Snackers is an item that you won't find in any other state or place that sells gyros in the area. Olga Snackers is freshly fried Olga Bread that's topped in a special seasoning blend that hits every one of your taste senses on the tongue. It's savory, salty, zippy, fresh, a small trace of spicy, but not overpowering. It's really something out of this world and you really can not just eat one. You want them all. The snackers are served with a swiss almond spread that is also truly out of this world. It's creamy, it's festive, it's so tasty. What makes getting these snackers a great experience is how the crunchy on the outside, yet chewy on the inside snacker blends in with this creamy hearty, and flavorful cheese spread and creates an experience of both texture and taste. Each bite is magical. I think of these as Medditeranian Pretzel Bites or Nachos, except these are actually 50 times better. Olga's is a great Michigan Business and as long as they keep serving great food, I'll be supporting this mitten-based company. What's cool is the matriarch or Olga's, Mrs. Olga's actually stops in for meet & greets with the customers. I love this. I am looking forward to meeting her one day and thanking her for keeping Michiganders on a budget fed good food at very reasonable prices. read more
