However the pastrami sandwich was a two small pieces of grocery store rye bread with three or four thin slices of second rate pastrami and nothing else between the bread. The fries were fine.

Monday mid-morning and packed but found a both [same as last time I was here years ago] quickly, Good assortment of daily specials but with my temp crown I needed something easy to chew. Very successfully found something: short stack of pancakes and a poached egg in a cup. The egg was perfect as my appetizer to the plate of two large pancakes. The 'small stack' of pancakes was delicious and the whipped butter and syrup added to the delight. The coffee is great and easy refills. Saw the train that moves across the track on the ceiling which was very calming. Calming was needed as everyone was in a good mood and the convos were flying. Great service. I promised to come back and eat something from the daily special next time!

It has such a great indoor/outdoor feel with the sliding doors, open-air setup, and that whole relaxed, warm-weather vibe. It's definitely different from the typical Connecticut farmhouse-style brunch spots. They also have a bunch of different mimosa flavors, which is honestly hard to find around here. I had to get the passion fruit, of course, and it did not disappoint! I ordered the chicken and waffles, and they were SO good. The bacon on top and their special sauce really took it to another level. It was packed, but for obvious reasons. The food, drinks, and atmosphere are definitely worth it. I'll absolutely be going back, and I definitely want to check out their Massachusetts location too!

We have always found the food to be very good. Served quickly. The portions are large enough, nothing crazy large, but filling. This time we my wife had the Rubin and I had the turkey club. Both sandwiches were tasty and the onion rings were OK. They lacked flavor and what I did pick up was the taste of uncooked flour. I like the coffee and wish I could have had a 2nd cup with my meal but our waitress must have been in the witness protection plan. After she took our order we didn't see her until we were finished with our meal. I did get a 2nd cup of coffee to drink while going over our bill and anguishing over her tip. Yes, we still left a tip. Yes we will still go back because the food is good. I'll get the fries next time.

I haven't lived in Connecticut for over ten years and it's probably been twenty years since I've…read morebeen to the Olympia Diner, so I was pretty excited to sit down with some friends last weekend and eat here again. I came with three other people on a Saturday morning and were lucky enough to get seated right away. Like all diners in Connecticut, this place had a menu with breakfast, lunch, dinner, and desert featuring all the classics and giving me a slight panic attack whenever I tried to pick something. After some deliberation, I stuck with my favourite breakfast of chocolate chip pancakes and these things did not let me down. I had a short stack but these bad boys were pretty dang beefy and tasted really, really good. I'm sure the maple syrup was not actual maple syrup, but I love the cheap crap and it sure did the job on these pancakes. Oh, and the best part about this place is that it's like one of those old style dinners that looks like a silver salt shaker. Overall, Olympia Diner is a great diner and I think the only one left on the Berlin Turnpike (don't quote me on that). The food here was great, the staff was friendly, and the environment was "Connecticut diner" and that's what I was looking for. Place is great.

I reported it to the waitress and told her that this needs to be thrown out as it is rusty. She took it away and did not even offer an apology. She brought another salt shaker and said this one is clean. I took the top off of the supposedly clean salt shaker and this is what I found another rusty filthy mess. The sad thing is this salt shaker was worse looking than the first one I complained about. This is disgusting and I assume a health code violation. I will not be going back to Olympia diner in the future.

There's always something we are excited to check out when we haven't been in a while. The restaurant is both nice enough that you feel really good bringing your out of town friends here to try and impress while also being low-key enough for a simple date night with your significant other. They have a few non-alcoholic drink options. As someone who's living the sober lifestyle, it's always nice to see that. The restaurant is well managed and well maintained. Always clean, servers seem invested. It doesn't hurt to make a reservation if you're coming on a Friday or weekend night. Chicken is the star of the show here, and we almost always order that with some of the ala carte sides, but my wife also likes to grab something else off the menu and I'll usually sneak a bite. We've never had anything that fell below expectations.

The food is good. We both had omelettes and they were solid. I will knock a star off for the latkes we shared, which were very greasy. I'd avoid those.

Having time to kill, and finding myself dismayed at the number of breakfast spots closed on Monday,…read moreI found myself at a place I've long considered trying: the Makris Diner. I arrived just after 7:00 AM, finding only a few other customers. Taking my seat at the counter, and noticing the "best of 2025" certificate, coffee was immediately served; and, my order was promptly taken. My choice was the big breakfast two, which would prove to be well named. Well within ten minutes, I was served three eggs, properly prepared, over easy, four very mild, frankly nearly tasteless, breakfast sausage links, a good portion of browned, but as far as I could tell, unseasoned, hashbrowns that were on the dry side (yes, ketchup was required) and finally, two slices of thick French toast, generously splattered with powdered sugar (quite tasty, I must say). In short, this meal read like a stock chart on a volatile day; peaks and valleys. The cup of coffee was acceptable, doing nothing to add or detract from the meal. At just over, twenty two bucks, before tip, the portion couldn't be faulted; but, the quality could have been better. The Makris has been there as long as I can remember; but in all my life, this is only my second visit. The first was a late night stop for a cup of coffee way back when teenagers actually ventured outside to engage in social activities; and, today, it looked much as it did back then. It was clean, comforatable and very much appealing to my sense of nostalgia. So too, I believe, that could be said of the other patrons, all of whom I expected to refer to my 58 year old self as "kid" if the need to speak to me had arisen.
