    Looks a little naked as my side was the salad bar but very tasty!
    Steven B.

    So once upon a time, the pandemic hit, and the much-loved salad bar here bit the dust! There was tremendous hue and cry from the customers, including me, but it was to no avail. The servers also yelled and screamed because they had to make the salads but nope, management held firm. Finally, management reconsidered this fall and it's back! Hallelujah! This will be a short specialty review with a focus on the salad bar. So, I blew in for lunch intending to have the salad bar as my side. As soon as you walk in the door you are staring at it. Check out three of my photos. One is of the full bar and then there are close ups of each half. Note how meticulously maintained it is. Everything is scrupulously fresh! It's not particularly large but has enough variety to satisfy most everyone. By the way, your server will bring out cold salad plates as needed. So, what's the cost? It depends. On this day I ordered an Open Face Hot Roast Beef Sandwich @ $11.50. It came with one side. To substitute the salad bar was an upcharge of $3.50. That's a hell of a deal! With other more expensive entrees it may be included. The salad bar was just as I expected. Crisp and fresh and absolutely delicious! I've been a customer of the Olympic for over thirty years, and salad bar gets a five-star smile from me!

    This is the outside, duh.

    We aren't sure if the Okympics started in Avon, Florida, but if they had, they'd have been eating good. Stopped here by chance, lunch specials on point (that's an Olympic term, look it up, or don't, Im not paying for your data). Simple math, rookies, get here before another 4 years go by.

    Ribeye and onion rings

    We were traveling and found Olympic through Maps. The building is older but the food is Fresh! We had the ribeye, chef salad, Reuben and cod with lemon butter sauce. All were delicious and everyone wants to come here again. Service was a little slow but it was busy and our server took very good care of us. I can recommend without hesitation.

Arriving- They are in a store front on Main Street. They actually rent from the almost 100-year-old Jacaranda Hotel that helps define my little town. Street Park out front or park behind the hotel and walk through. Handicapped Tip- The building was built when folks were less enlightened and there are a couple of nasty steps to enter but if you need help, there is a plan in place. Press the wireless doorbell and an employee will come out with a portable ramp and assist you. How cool is that! Ambience- This is a tiny place with a décor matching the vibe of a decades old historic building. Check out my pictures. Customer Service- My Barista was super friendly, welcoming, knowledgeable and had a great smile. What more did I need! Products- Just what you would expect. Coffee and tea in all the hot & iced varieties you would expect. Also baked goods. I have posted a menu of their seasonal specialty drinks. I didn't do anything fancy and went with a large, iced latte. It cost me $5.15, was made nicely, tasted wonderful and really hit the spot! If, like me, you enjoy patronizing small local businesses, expect a five-star experience here!

I get up to the window and she shoves the machine at me on a stick. I said look, I dont have my glasses on, the glare just run the card. She was like well we need to know if you are going to tip. I gave an honest answer - No. Then she proceeded to show me how to do HER JOB! At that point, I told her to keep and toss the food away and went to Burger King. A PAYING customer was denied food because of refusing to tip the drive thru person. By the way, the croissant sandwich at Bruker King was delicious.

They very rarely mess up my order. I've never had a rude employee. Availability- Occasionally they run out of something like a particular type of donut. One time their truck was late, and they ran out of milk! That was a riot! I almost always get what I want. Staffing- Like most small retail operations, if someone calls out sick, it's a big deal and you'll get some delays. A bunch of bad reviews are during the pandemic. Give them a break! That was a crazy time for all of retail. Idiot Customers- Folks complain about drive thru times and I get it but much of the time it's due to customers that have the IQ of a golf ball! If you're going through the drive thru with three young kids and you let them all order separately, you're an idiot! If you have a drive-thru order of over $100 you're incredibly inconsiderate! I've seen both! The App- Works well. Like most retail apps, if you take the time to figure out the angles, you can get lots of discounts and free stuff! I'm sticking with four stars!

It's a quirky little place that has a one-alley drive-through and a walk-up window and no dine-in. Why did I say alley? Because it looks like a one-alley oil lube place. So much so that to this day, folks drive through and ask how much is an oil change even though all they have is great food and a few sundries! I think it's partly related to their name! So how did they reinvent themselves? Up until about two years ago they were famous for selling case beer. You would pop your trunk and a guy would drop the case right in. You never had to get out of your car. For some reason they quit selling beer to focus on other things. Up until about a year ago they had great food but no fries and this was a major complaint they had to deal with. They fixed this and now they have huge portions of wonderful, glorious skin-on fries! So now you come here for fantastic breakfast sandwiches, great burgers, pulled pork sandwiches and fries. Of course, drinks. On my last visit I ordered a cheeseburger and fries @ $8.87. I'm embarrassed by the picture as there was a huge, juicy, hand-formed burger under there! There were even more fries, but I scoffed some down on the way home! So, you can blow through here for breakfast or lunch and have a great sandwich and patronize a local business at the same time! It doesn't get much better than that!
