There is not a single day where I have came in and it took more than 10 minutes to be seated and have my order taken.

-- The Dambar was awesome. Then came the Scott Downer…read more The staff at my hotel recommended the Dambar when I asked where I should go in Kingman, and this was EXACTLY the kind of local recommendation I was looking for. The place has character. Great Western/Route 66 atmosphere, people hanging out and having fun, a lively bar, hardworking staff, and really good food. And whoever is responsible for the asparagus deserves some recognition. Seriously. I don't know what they're doing to asparagus back there, but it may be the best asparagus I've ever had. Everything about the evening was heading toward five stars. Then, at approximately 9:24 p.m., manager Scott Dittmer came in and called last call. On a Sunday. When the posted closing time is 10:00 p.m. There were still plenty of customers in the restaurant enjoying themselves and ordering. By around 9:30, people trying to order additional items were being told they couldn't. Meanwhile, the staff was still working hard taking care of everyone. It was strange watching a genuinely fun atmosphere get intentionally shut down roughly half an hour before closing. So here's my review in a nutshell: FOOD: ASPARAGUS: (yes, six) STAFF: ATMOSPHERE: ENDING THE NIGHT 30+ MINUTES EARLY: The Dambar itself deserves the recommendation my hotel gave it. I'd absolutely eat here again and would recommend it to anyone passing through Kingman. But Scott -- don't be a Scott Downer. If your customers are having fun, your employees are taking care of them, and your posted closing time is 10:00, let the Dambar be the damn bar until 10:00.

I've thought about the hash brown casserole for years and looked forward to satisfying my hunger for the potato casserole. I was extremely disappointed when I saw the "casserole" come to the table. Shredded potatoes?? What the heck? The waitress confirmed the recipe had changed. They were dry and unappealing. The waitress saw the displeasure on my face and asked several times if I wanted to replace them. I declined. I was really looking forward to the potato casserole. The restaurant ambience was as remembered and the staff were all very nice and friendly. My son enjoyed his food as he had the 4 piece fried chicken dinner with three sides. Note the sides are much smaller as I remembered them to be. Mac n cheese was good but not the same. I guess costs and overhead are cutting into food quality. Sadly I won't be returning to any Cracker Barrel in any state, unless the original casserole recipe is brought back. But I'm one person and don't think the casserole will return.

Just got here for the first time, a bit overwhelmed

We arrived just before 8:00 PM, sat down, and waited several minutes before being informed that the kitchen would not serve us because it was after 8:00 PM. I completely understand if the kitchen closes at 8:00 PM. What disappointed me was that we were already seated, the restaurant still had numerous customers, drinks were still being served, and no effort was made to accommodate us despite being right on the margin of closing time. As a business owner myself, I understand that operating hours and kitchen policies are important. However, I also believe that customer service matters, especially when someone makes the effort to come in and spend money with your business. A little flexibility in situations like this can turn a customer into a loyal supporter. Instead, we left and went to another local restaurant, where we had an excellent meal, great service, and spent over $130 including tip. If this is the owner's policy, then I respect that. If it was simply an employee's decision, I would encourage management to review how these situations are handled. Unfortunately, this experience left us disappointed and will only go to Nikos when other options are exhausted.

A few days ago, I decided to come to Olympus Diner for lunch, and this turned out excellent. It's because of things like these that keep me coming here. I ordered the Bacon Cheeseburger with French fries, and it was delicious. Not only did the juiciness of the burger meat pair perfectly with the crispy bacon, everything on it was doing something to make this burger an absolute treat of a meal. The fries weren't weak or overly salty, they were literally perfect. I am not kidding when I say the fries were the best fries I have ever had in my entire life. Crispy and salty to immaculate levels, it's almost mind blowing how tasty this meal was. It was only ~$12, which is a steal! I will absolutely come back, trying something new. Service was great, too. The waitress looked a little out of it, but she was nice and I got my soda and food quickly. She wasn't the usual waitress seen, but she seemed fine. Inside was just that classic diner feel but with a bunch of Greek things. On the side of the booths are some alcohol bottles with Greek pillars, on the outside there are Greek pillars... you get what I mean. I've always been a history guy, so I love places with historical meanings or representations. Overall, Olympus Diner is an amazing place to eat. This place is for anyone looking for great food, fast and friendly service and a Greek or American diner feel. I will be returning again soon. Thank you so much! read more

Best new Breakfast spot in Kingman near the bottom of the Hualapai Mountains. The coffee is robust! The Spanakopita = Greek Spinach Pie is warm, fluffy, flaky and garlicky and flavorful, and comes with chopped Greek salad sprinkled with Feta Cheese. This is our first favorite. It's a great choice for Brunch. The Greek omelette and the Italian omelette are some of our other favored choices. We bring our big dog CHAMP who sits outside with us in the shade and everyone is welcoming and kind and generous to each of us. We stay up at the Hualapai Mountain Lodge when we are in town for business during the week. This is the first restaurant as we roll down the hill into town. We are so pleased to find such a comforting, refreshing, relaxing, refueling spot. read more

I was in charge of organizing a 50th anniversary of the ordination of our bishop. Leon, the owner and cook was outstanding to work with. His staff was polite, helpful and professional. Several guests commented to me of how delicious the fare was. The venue was just what we had hoped for and will easily accommodate parties from 10 to 80. And the price was very reasonable. We will definitely consider the Olympus for future events. Thanks Leon and staff. read more
