Olympian Greek & American — Restaurant in Salt Lake City

The Olympian appears to be a converted old Astro Burger, or the like. Upon walking in, it's very reminiscent of a Denny's restaurant. The food is standard American/ Greek American fare, and it's average. Nothing bad, but also, nothing very special about the Olympian. Also, be advised, the food is pretty greasy. The restaurant itself appears clean, but (at least while we were there) grossly over crowded. And oddly enough, although wait staff were teeming, the service was EXTREMELY slow. Once we, finally, placed our order, it was about 30 min before our breakfast was served. On top of that, our server didn't come back to check on us until we were well over half way through our meal, so it wasn't until then that I was able to ask her for the orange juice she'd forgotten. The orange juice was, unfortunately, not worth the wait. I'm pretty sure it was concentrate, from a can, that they added far too much extra tap water to, in order to stretch it... and the tap water, here, is AWFUL! I strongly advise against drinking it. Their city water is so bad that they really owe it to their clientele to install a water filtration system at the Olympian.

Under certain circumstances, $100 for breakfast for 4 isn't horrible, but it is decidedly far too much for this place.

I guess I can't complain too much about the Olympian, but conversely, I don't have any high praise for them either. Probably won't be back... unless I'm really hungry... and someone else...

I have eaten two different kinds breakfast and lunch as well from them. Each time I have eaten there it was amazing. The Olympic platter is amazing, not one thing was bad on it. Their waffles are so good you can taste the love. They have great bacon and not very many restaurants do but they do. Their eggs taste like fresh farm eggs, hashbrowns are perfectly cooked, and their butter and syrup is delicious. Their baklava was the best i have had from a restaurant and the other dessert that is like a burrito version of baklava with cream filling is good as well. They have more that look delicious but haven't tried them yet. The best thing they have out of all their stuff is their chicken rice soup. It is intoxicating. I always get a quart to go. It is lemony, buttery, brothy, and even if you are full you don't want to stop eating it. They are so nice and get your food to you fast as well. You fill like you are home. I wish I could eat there everyday but I live an hour and 15...

This cute restaurant is FABULOUS!

The most beautiful thing is the people, it is a family business and they really make you feel at home, everyone is Super Friendly and affectionate and you can feel how the vibe of the place makes you feel good.

Tony and Maria are a Greek couple and the most beautiful people you can meet, always with a smile and with many stories to enjoy and learn. The cooks and waitresses are their children, grandchildren and other people who became family.

And OK let's talk for a moment about the food: Exquisite! Pork, potatoes and waffles were my favorite dishes. Hands up to the chef Kosta and our waitress Lola who made our brunch memorable!

Every time I visit Salt Lake it is my safe stop. This place is a MUST if, in addition to eating delicious food, you want to look for a cozy and...
