We happened to be close by due to a Professional Development session in the area. I had never eaten here, but it was about 5 minutes away, so we stopped in. We were seated immediately and a server was at our table within a minute or so. I opted for a fried chicken sandwich with onion rings. I ate every bit of it. It was delicious! The server brought refills before we ever needed them, and we were in and out before our lunch hour was over. It was a clean, busy-but not packed, restaurant. I would definitely eat here again when in the area. read more

Having passed by here for years and never dining, we finally made the trip to dine at Olympic Family Restaurant. If you want a no frills, family dining experience, this place is for you. We went on a Friday night and despite having a full parking lot, there were many empty tables inside. This place can hold a crowd of people. With a mixture of tables and booths, they can accommodate groups of all sizes. The bathrooms are in the far right corner of the restaurant, and you pay at the central cash register once you get your bill. It was rather chilly inside, so bring a jacket if you're cold natured like my crew. All of their drinks come from a soda machine, including the tea, so be aware if you're used to the fresh brewed kind - you'll want to stick to a different beverage. We got the chicken fingers, popcorn shrimp, open faced roast beef with fries, and a salad. The popcorn, shrimp and chicken fingers were good. We requested additional gravy for the open faced roast beef, and the waitress promptly brought to additional bowls, because she knew that the bowls are shallow and one would not be enough. The salad was good, and they had many different dressing options to choose from. Now that we have experienced the Olympic Family Restaurant, we will place it on our list of restaurants to consider in the future if we are in the area. read more

We came here for lunch I got a coffee and a deluxe tuna sandwich which came with two sides. I loved the fried squash. The cabbage was spicy which I loved. The coffee was good. The waitress was a bit forgetful but still nice. My husband order a chicken gyro which he enjoyed. It looks like they can accommodate large groups so I would come here with more people. read more

Driven pass this spot 1000 times and never thought to pop in. Glad I did. On sight, gives a cafeteria vibe but after looking at the menu and tasting the food its far from it. Food has great flavor and the service is very southern hospitality style. Excellent restaurant. read more

We had a family get-together and came to get some takeout salads. We were very happy with the generous portions. The next day we came to dine at the restaurant and were pleased with the spacious, clean indoor seating. Our waitress was very friendly and helpful. The menu has lots of options. Southern fare with some Mediterranean influence. read more

I used to love this place however it is very expensive. I ordered a ham and cheese sandwich and it literally had enough meat and cheese for about four sandwiches. I definitely got enough fries for another four people. Threw most of this food away but was charged $16.00 for a sandwich, fries and water! How bout making the sandwiches normal size and charging $7.00 to $8.00. read more

Great local place; friendly servers and great food. Casual atmosphere. Try the fried seafood dishes.

Don't pass it. Stop and eat. Food is always good. Service is top notch. Fried shrimp is my go to.

Usually generous portion sizes. To go orders are fairly timely. Not really a restaurant you "crave" but certainly does the job for dinner if you can't decide what to eat. Decent variety of options too. I give them credit for their consistency. read more

The place was clean. Food was bland, bacon looked grey. Basic, acceptable for basic palates. Even the tea comes in a bag. Best part was the fries. Service could have been done by a robot because the personality was equal to a robots personality. This was our second and final try of this place. read more

Flew to Furnitureland to shop and stooped here for a quick bite! He'll Yes!!! Delicious Greek Pork Soulvaki! Kayla was our server and she was amazing! Everyone was friendly and wonderful dining experience . It was dinner time on Saturday and they were super fast! Loved it highly recommended. read more

I ordered the meatloaf with cornbread mashed potatoes, peaches and Mac and cheese. The meatloaf was bland only flavor was ketchup, the mashed potatoes and Mac and cheese were the only thing with flavor, the peaches tasted like they were from a can and the cornbread was a brick, just not good. The server was less than enthused to be doing her job. I won't be returning. read more

I take a large group(10+) here about every 3 months, and have for the last 11 years and it has always been quick, accommodating(without reservations), and the food is always hot and delicious. Most of the morning servers have been working here longer than the 11 years we have been going, and they do such a great job and are so friendly! We have gone for breakfast and dinner and it has not disappointed us yet, they are both great! read more

Olympic is so close to my office and I often visit here for a quick takeout lunch. The menu has a wide variety of southern fare, Greek food, standard american, but they also serve breakfast. The prices are beyond reasonable and the portions large, but you get what you pay for. I love this place for the array of vegetables. I try to take a healthy route for my lunches, so the vegetable plates are the way to go. Like most restaurants like these, don't expect a lot of flavor, but sometimes it's nice to just have the food with no frills. I do also order the chicken souvlaki. It's tasty but served on a hamburger bun? Not sure why, and I leave it on the plate, but that's okay. The owner is a blonde, tattooed Greek gentleman with a large personality and booming Greek accent. He really adds to the flair of this restaurant. I've had quite a few conversations through the drive through with him and he always makes me laugh. They do have a drive through, but you call ahead and pick it up. The order is always ready in about 10-15 minutes. Super convenient! read more

Excellent service. Good home cooking. Good for family gatherings. They are pretty busy at lunch but you don't have to wait long.

This is a great family friendly restaurant! They do not take reservations but there is plenty of seating and even room for large groups. We had a group of almost 20 and were seated right away. Our waitress and her help were fantastic. There are so many options on the menu giving everyone a great meal choice. The food was delicious. They have great daily specials as well of a seniors menu. A little word of caution, their salads are huge, so you could definitely split one! I ordered the Greek pork souvlaki which was more than enough and my wife ordered the BLT with onion rings. You definitely have to try the onion rings. They look like they are homemade and are perfect. The food came out quick and everything was delicious. read more

Nice breakfast spot with great menu. The service was very professional and the food was well prepared.

My party and I tried Olympic Family Restaurant for the first time last night, and we found the atmosphere, service, and menu selection to be wonderful! We were promptly greeted, and tables were quickly joined to accommodate the 7 of us comfortably. Our server was attentive, answering many questions and attending to our needs with great attention. The food selection was incredible, and reasonably priced. Our group enjoyed burgers, flounder, fettuccini Alfredo, and baked spaghetti. The portions were enormous, and the food was served hot and delicious! Moreover, the restaurant and bathrooms were very clean and neat. Bonus: local uniformed police officers came in to eat while we were there, which confirmed my confidence in Olympic (cops usually only eat where disturbances are unlikely, and the kitchen staff is trustworthy). I look forward to our next visit at Olympic! read more

Check your bank charge. Food is ok. There are items on the menu i would say absolutely not to, for example, the cold cut sub. Horrible. Avoid subs. One visit there were ants all over the window and table we were seated at. Another visit we were charged twice. They refunded. Another, final visit, we left a 7.00 tip and they put it in as 70.00. They refunded but took 3 days. I fear for those that do not check bank charges often. read more

I meet with several retirees here once a month for breakfast. We all enjoy the food and the employees seem to care that all is right. The wife and I also go there for lunch 2 or more times a month and again the food is good and so is the service. read more

Baked Spaghetti is awesome! Greek salad is very good too! Baklava and coconut pie are some favorites of mine

Generous portions of home cooking! Very friendly service. My husband love the flounder!

Have been here several times and the food is always great! The owner is also super friendly and accommodating. Clean inside and comfortable seating! Pancakes were light and fluffy and buttermilk that's a big big plus for me. Bacon is crisp but not over cooked always perfect/ eggs cooked exactly as ordered. Ham and cheese egg scramble also came out just as orders. A fun place for sure never a bad meal here! read more

Awesome food and service. Every time I've been there the staff has been awesome. I would recommend

Fantastic family restaurant with tasty food and friendly staff. This is a preferred meal stop for my family when we are not in the mood to cook for ourselves. read more

Great place and great service! I highly recommend the shrimp and flounder. Beef tips and rice are also amazing.

This place is super bright with absolutely ZERO ambiance, waitresses were rude, food was bland, & it was not hot. My "hashbrowns" came out cold, and staff were rude when I asked for new ones. not to mention how overpriced it was. If I could rate this place a 0 I would. do not recommend. read more

Great food at reasonable prices. Portions are huge! I've eaten here a couple times and the service, quality, and cleanliness is outstanding. It is well-frequented by locals, families and business associates. Its a longstanding staple in Greensboro and once you dine here you'll understand why theyve been a success. Highly recommend for casual dining, broad menu -something for everyone, and homemade everything. Everything from sandwiches, country cooking, greek and italian fare. read more

If I'm in the mood for homecooking and fried okra, then I'm heading to Olympic. It is a no frills homecooking restaurant that is usually fairly packed during the day for lunch. They offer daily specials which are really great deals! On their menu you can find traditional diner favorites and sandwiches as well as salads and Italian dishes. There truly is something for everyone. My go to dish is usually the hamburger steak plate with mac and cheese, a side salad and that awesome fried okra. It is a sizeable portion and always delicious! Definitely one of our favorite places to go when we want a good meal at a fair price! Always good! read more

It's been too long since I've landed here- customers, staff wearing mask, social distancing, and the best flounder in town. Lightly breaded, just right. That cheesecake was not what I expected - no wonder they run out so quickly! Fresh pumpkin and fresh whipped topping! Maybe you will be lucky and land a slice too! #freshnotdryfish #supportlocal #olympicfamilyrestaurant #sogso read more

Another day when breakfast sounded good for an early lunch, this solid diner was on our route, and it was early so the customer presence was light. You seat yourself here, and frankly I really like that - I want to pick where I'll sit, or maybe more importantly, I want to pick where I don't want to sit - beside the family from hell, near the loud talker, near the ahole on the phone during his entire meal, or his kin who leaves the text arrival sound on! The service was exceptional - drinks ordered and delivered quickly, food ordered, and it was out of the kitchen in just over FIVE minutes - everything perfectly done. Alice chose pancakes (no surprise there), a rasher of bacon, and a single, soft scrambled egg - delivered intact, and as ordered. I went with 2 eggs over medium ( I want the yellow runny, but I don't want to see movement in the white), link sausage, home fries, grits, and toast - again, tabled as ordered. The eggs were perfect, and the link sausage was as flavorful as you could want. The Homes Fries here are special, much like those at Cagney's. Here they start with a Baked Potato, then cube it, and then crust it up on the grill - perfect! The only down side is they use that "not even close to butter soft spread stuff", and it really detracts from the grits, and fails on pancakes. But, all in all, a very nice breakfast meal. read more

People At Olympic are very friendly and want to learn sign language to communicate with us the food were awesome we go there very often

3 of us each had a full entree and a full dessert. Bill was under 40 bucks! Food was hot, filling and good. My grandson said the Mac and cheese and cornbread get 10 stars. Cheesecake was superb!! Jordan was our waitress. She had the whole floor, 4 tables when we arrived and 12 when we left. She never got frazzled, had a great sweet personality, she kept our drinks full, we never once had to call her over, she was on the ball with ALL of her tables. A+ read more

Olympic is one of the best places for breakfast that I've ever been to. The breakfast offerings are simple, but delicious. On my last visit I had scrambled eggs with a generous slice of country ham. Served with a biscuit and side of gravy. Delicious! If you like coffee your cup won't get empty here! The service is great and the servers are so friendly. This place is great! read more
