Remember either in person or more likely videos of car hops where the waitress would skate out to your car. Well that's the atmosphere of the outside of this place. The inside is less interesting. If you want to sit inside you have to order at a kiosk and it's credit card only. If you want to pay cash you'll need to go through the drive through. Everything is very clean and there is a certain charm to the place, maybe nostalgia. I ordered the Bacon Ring Bbq Burger combo ($10). This is two thin 1/8 pound burger patties, mayo, lettuce, tomatoes with onion rings and bacon. This definitely is a fast food burger and needs to be compared to that. In that aspect it is top notch. Way better than any of the corporate giants. For a fair price. If you want to compare to the better burger sit down restaurants it does drop a little bit, but would still be in my top 15 for sure and maybe my top 10. The fries are very good, nothing super special, just above average done very well. I got a chocolate shake ($3), like the fries it's an above average shake done extremely well and very thick. Lastly I ordered a Pulled Pork sandwich ($5) for later. This was very good, especially since it was a reheated sandwich. Definitely the best pulled pork sandwich from a fast food place I've ever had for one of the best prices. The staff was very friendly and seemed very efficient. Overall a 5 star review. If I lived in the area I would be here all the time for a meal before or after work? Would I return? Absolutely? I may not live close, but if I'm in the area it definitely would be on my list to partake. read more

A Lansing favorite. I enjoy coming here when I'm visiting home. I cannot lie, I've gotten bougie when it comes to my burgers so they don't hit the same as they used to but the fries are always fresh and the chicken strips are always made from scratch. Service is always good and my food comes fast. read more

Olympic Broil - Bacon double cheeseburger with the large crinkle cut fry. - American Near Me - Lansing, Michigan

A childhood staple with the best chicken strips. They've modernized the place but it still has that that old school charm. You order and pay at the kiosks. If you want to pay cash, they can help you at the front counter. Love this place! read more

Good, not great Used to come here with my grandpa a lot as a kid and loved the chicken tenders. After the last couple experiences I've had here, I'm not in a huge rush to go back to be honest. The chicken tenders I used to love are still quite good but way too greasy for me. As far as the flame broiled burgers they are known for, I couldn't even finish half of the one I got last time. It was very bland, slimy and unappetizing. Toppings were also very low quality. As far as ambiance goes, this place isn't fancy by any means and doesn't need to be, but could use some decorating to say the least. The walls are mostly white and blank, just gives an unfinished look to it. Could also be cleaned a little more consistently in the dining areas. As far as service goes, most if not all the ordering is done through a mobile kiosk so there is very little interaction with the staff. I will give this to them, they are quick and efficient! The speed of the service as well as the price of the menu items make it somewhat worth it to come here, maybe I just came at bad times or something so I'll give them some benefit of the doubt. I will say though, it does not feel like the same Olympic Broil I had as a kid. read more

The chocolate chip cookie is INSANE!!! I have had cookies from NYC, Chicago, and these are better than LEvain in NYC hands down!!!! If you do anything get a cookie from here! And also any food from here! They have the best food, best service, and can actually get your order correct and fast! McDonald's is and expensive! You should come here no matter what! The spicy crispy chicken wrap will change your life! read more

I used to absolutely love this place as a kid for their chicken tenders and I'm happy to say they're still on point! They have a decent sized menu with great prices, they're definitely known for their flame broiled burgers but to be honest, I did not like it last time I had it. I'll stick to the other menu options personally. As far as service goes, you actually order from tablets instead of at the counter so you don't interact a whole lot with the staff unless you're grabbing your food or asking for something extra like sauce or something. They're usually in the zone so can't say it's super friendly service but it's far from unfriendly. Lastly...the restaurant itself, it's usually not the cleanest in the dining room, I've seen worse at other fast food joints but there is usually a stickiness to the floors and trash/crumbs on the tables. Not the worst place to eat in Lansing by a long shot but definitely not my go-to! read more

I bring everyone here. OB! Food is fire. Burgers are huge. And they're cheap. Food quality is good for a fast food joint. This place hits the spot. Get the fried mushrooms. Try the fish platter. But always, get a humdinger. read more

It's been years since I have had it.i did enjoy my dinner I had last time I was there with wife.i like how they allow the classic cars there to show off during warmer months and maybe help get business there.they are only open 10:30 am-8pm every day except Sunday.prices are pretty good for people to afford dining. read more

When we talk about Lansing eats, Olympic Broil is always a topic of conversation. Such a part of the culture, and deserving of a visit if you're from out of town. I recommend the coney dogs for sure, or their olive burger - both of which are the best coneys and olive burgers in town, in my opinion. Tip: the restaurant is often drive thru only, so be prepared. They do offer park and eat spots on the lot. read more

Olympic Broil is truly a very cool place. The food is really good. The outdoor seating is super cool and then even when it's summertime or somewhere around there, you can see ducks. The service is pretty well. You can get your food pretty quickly. The food is relatively cheap and you can even get Boba. I love this place and I love going there in the summer. read more

Been going here on and off since the 80's food is consistent and tastes the same as it did then. Service is quick and efficient.

Great food! Classic Olive Burger!! Truly one of the best in Lansing. You can taste the broil, yummy. read more

I've been giving this burger joint the benefit of the doubt for far too long, but unfortunately, the quality of the food has taken a noticeable nosedive over the past five years - the coney dogs, in particular, are consistently served cold. The decor doesn't help, with a bland and hospital-like atmosphere that doesn't exactly scream 'appetizing'. Despite my own lukewarm feelings (I'd give it 2/5), my fiancé is a big fan, so I'm bumping it up to 3/5 - the helpful staff is also a redeeming quality." 3/5 stars read more

Basically an elevated version of Culver's. Super quick. Friendly staff. Look forward to returning!

Food has definitely gone down hill in the last few years chicken strips are Al way hard and dry nothing like they used to be when you get the chicken strip special you only get a couple of fry's also. Been going there my whole 40 years of life and just wouldn't waste my money anymore read more

Burgers, dogs, fish and chips and more. I had to have the olive burger. My bff from HS and I had a fun lunch here.

As a hot dog/coney dog aficionado, I can tell you a good from bad one very easily. Pulled up at this place and noticed how neat and clean it was inside and out. That's always a good sign. I didn't need a full lunch so I ordered the coney and crinkle cut fries. The staff were friendly and courteous. Nothing special but as expected. The coney was excellent. Frank is good size, cooked properly and was at the right temp. Chili is flavorful and if anything lacking a touch in volume. Yes, I would have liked a bit more. Onions were fresh and tasty. Crinkle fries were hot and fresh out of the fryer. The neat thing is that they also have a nice Siri right along the river with picnic tables if you want to eat outside on a nice day. As they say on the website, "Good food, Fast." It was true and the place did not disappoint me. I'll be back. Two thumbs up. read more

Boyfriend still on the prowl for the best hotdog. Loved the sign in tbt drive thru made me smile. Hotdog he was was good but the onions added nothing and the mustard was skimpy. 3/5 The fries were okay, Nothing to special 3/5 Service was fast and maybe we will go back and get to eat outside. (There were geese everywhere) read more

Onion rings and burgers are great, good portions. Very busy and currently it's drive thru only. They keep the line moving quickly. Nice areas to eat outside on a nice day. read more

This place looks like an old drive-in diner, but COVID-19 puts a damper on the place since it's currently drive-thru only. The line moves pretty fast even though the line is out to the road. Food is kinda pricey for the portion sizes. I got the double coney dog combo on special, although I think I was overcharged. Hard to tell since there was no detail receipt. It was a bit messy to eat in the car, but that's probably because I'm a fork & knife eater. We'll be back to give it a second chance but probably try something different. read more

Food is amazing and one of my earliest childhood memories. Chicken strips can't be beat. Been vegetarian for years and crave the strips!

Went for the first time today. My husband and I got 2 cheeseburgers (one was a double), 2 fries and 2 drinks. Our total was $13.00. It was delicious! Quick and easy drive thru (inside is closed). Line was on the road, but worth the wait. We couldn't believe how cheap it was. But also how good it was. Definitely recommend this place for a good fast food burger. read more

Place is so friendly and good. I've been going here since I was a kid. One my favorite foods.

Recap: The owner's behavior makes me personally not want to step foot in there again. UPDATE: Called my bank and got my money back! They also charged me a couple of cents for the wrong order BUT that was also refunded by my bank :-] I loved going to Olympic Broil and the food was always great! But I had a bad experience here today 3/31/22. So our issue was that we only had a small amount of money to spent in our account and we got charged for another person's order( who spent more money than us). I didn't want my card to get in the negative/ get overdrafts. The cashier lady reversed the order but I also wanted to cancel my current order( just to make sure I didn't overspend/get overcharged in my account because sometimes reversals can take a while) everything was fine/ we were all calm and no one was irate, however the restaurant owner proceeds to confront us out of nowhere and call me and my dad demeaning things like "children, who can't do math and don't understand anything" I'm not sure why he was trying to instigate a fight with me and my dad out of the blue by saying rude things to us when we were just asking for a refund for a $8 order. Luckily me and my dad didn't take the bait and ignored his instigation/ didn't stoop to his name-calling level. If you are the owner reading this I hope you reflect on your behavior and do better next time. I have been going there for over a decade/ live in a nearby area with no issues and never been rude to any of your employees. But this for me was enough to personally not step foot in there again. read more

Used to really love coming here (2+ times a week). Prices are going up and the quality is getting worse. Employees taking orders in the drive through are rude and short with customers - you can hear them talking to each other or on the phone while you are ordering too. read more

I order $20 worth of food. Chicken strips & fries combos. They ask what sauce? I replied "spicy mayonnaise dip". I asked for 2 sauces for each meal. (1 for my fries/1 for my chicken tenders) I get to the window, I check the bag: they gave me one sauce per meal. I inform them they are missing sauces. They replied: that will be $2 for more sauces. I tell them no thanks I already asked for this on the speaker and you've already swiped my card /paid for the food I "supposedly ordered". No where on their menus either in person or online does it say customers are charged for sauces for their food when asked. So they have been charging customers without their knowledge for their choice of sauces this entire time? They don't give you a receipt either, so it's not like you would know IF you are being charged. This is simply called stealing from customers. You are charging them for something they have no knowledge of. You do not advertise this on the menu, prices for sauces that SHOULD come with the meals you sell. I'm not asking for extra, if I have fries..ppl want ketchup. If I have tenders..ppl may want more ketchup or bbq or whatever sauce of their choosing. The young girls working today were petty. So I'm letting everyone know how absolutely ridiculous this place can be. Find better workers, ones without attitudes. Maybe inform customers of prices so they KNOW they are being charged. Give customers receipt of sells. Robbery at its finest. Good luck selling chicken tenders WITHOUT sauce. read more

Foods very low quality. It will make you sick. Prices are cheap, but I'd rather pay a little more for food that's not going through me in 45 minutes. There's other fast food options that are family owned besides this on. It's also pretty dirty. The bathrooms are tiny and never very clean. The customer service is subpar. Especially the longer employed people. They really seem to hate working for the sexist bigot that owns the place. read more

Lately it's been hit or miss coming to this restaurant. Order a combo with a large fry instead of a regular and they still give you a regular. I share my fries with my dog and my cheeseburger.... when you order the food you expect it to be right and they even repeated it back wrong and I had to correct them and she said " yup ... I got it " OK great so I'm thinking I'm paying for A large fry... get home .. NOPE. Regular fry. Asked for Diet .. I get a Mt DEW Apparently this must be my fault because I should check the order before I even drive away from the window which you should not have to do. I'm just trying to keep the line moving... so checking your bag shouldn't be a normal thing read more

Great onion rings! We had the good ol' chili dogs and an olive burger. All were very good. This looks like it was an old A&W drive in at one time. Now it has indoor seating with the carport area as an outdoor feature. It's an order at the counter type of place with booth seating. Good for lunch. The fried foods looked great. I liked the olive burger, but it had a little more mayo than I normally like. The burger was super good. Clean place. Excellent onion rings. I was going to give it a 4-star rating, but considering that this is really a burger and hotdog place, it's very clean, fast, reasonably priced it rates a good 5-star. read more

I don't get what the hype is about, it was straight...a little too great for my liking, my mom eats here all the time though.

Appreciate it for what it is: greasy, gut-bustin' goodness. I usually get the olive burger, and have always been happy with it. I just tried the coney cheese fries; I thought they might just be too much cheesy/greasy to deal with, but I actually enjoyed them quite a bit. I almost want to take off a star for the fact that I heard the song "Shake Your Bon Bon" here for the first time since high school... But I'm not THAT kind of Yelp douche. read more

Olympic Broil - Double olive burger - American Near Me - Lansing, Michigan

I really enjoyed my recent trip to Olympic Broil. I got the double olive burger with cheese which hit the spot! I had never had an olive burger before and didn't even know it was a thing but I'm so glad I tried it. The olive spread added the perfect tangy/spicy component I was looking for! Fries were good, classic crinkle cut, but the onion rings really stole the show. Definitely some of the better onion rings I have had before! Also the food was done in what seemed like 2 minutes despite being super crowded! Seating was a little cramped and dated but I feel like that's always part of the charm with a place like this. All in all I would definitely get food here again when I'm craving something delicious, hot, cheap, and fast! read more
