Olly Fresco's Market & Deli — Restaurant in Calgary

Despite signage indicating hot buffet, by noon, no hot meal buffet. All stations covered with only scones and cheap muffins offered. A few wrapped sandwiches that didn't have toppings included in tag, so opted for fresh-made black forest ham and cheese on wrap. The attendant had to get someone in the back to understand what I asked for and instructions on how to make it. Kept toppings simple asking for only tomato, lettuce, mustard and mayo. Only two thin slices of deli ham (not black forest), one slice of cheddar that was broken in two halves, extremely thin slices of mealy wet tomato and browning lettuce. Despite 2 types of mustard, dijon and what looked like regular mustard, opted for regular-looking mustard. Without telling me the difference, it was honey flavour. It was more money than prepackaged sandwich but not worth it. No enviro-friendly wrapping. It was put on Styrofoam tray and wrapped in cling wrap. Bought peanut butter cookies. They were not overly flavourful. Tasted like they had been...

If I can save one person from going hungry...

Do not order from the deli. They draw you in with their $10 'lunch special'. The beef bun was pitiful. In the bun was ONE thinly sliced deli roast beef and a few pieces of sauteed spinach, mushrooms, few diced onions. I basically ate hamburger bun with nothing in it (wish I took a photo). It was so much of nothing that I put my chips into the bun and had a chip sandwich. Ummm. A pop is usually let's say $1-2, smallest bag of chips $1.50. so the bun with nothing in it is $7? My coworker ordered a wrap and same thing. Nothing substantial in it. Don't waste your money here. You'll just feel cheated and be hungry.

The soup/chilli on the other hand they can't skimp on cuz the bowls...

After all these years, I gave Olly's another shot and I'm just as disappointed. Had the breakfast. The potatoes are almost raw and the only option for bread is to have butter added. No jam options. A very disappointing offering.

I wanted to give Olly Fresco’s a chance as everybody is still recovering from the pandemic, but I just can’t. Their selection is abysmal and the prices are not reflective of the quality you get. Today was the last chance I’ve given them. My $9 chicken quesadilla (which had almost nothing in it) had what appeared to be cut up chicken parts. I’m sorry, but I have zero interest in paying for scraps that are entirely inedible. I did not finish my meal after discovering those. I just...
