    Ordered a medium cup of coffee and got a small... Not to mention $3 beans! Come on guy... do better.

    This is a local diner close to my In-laws place in Forrest Ave in Staten Island, NY. Like most diners, the menu is amazing filled with so many options. The place has chrome-like panels like in the 60's. The booth reminds me of Happy Days and the long bar counter is beautiful. As for the food, it is a diner, therefore, the serving are incredibly big portions. The food came out well and the taste is like what you expect from a diner. We were fortunate that we had a wonderful and patient server. This young man took our orders, delivered what was requested and visited us enough time to ensure we are doing well. If you're in Staten Island and hungry, give this place a try

    I think some of these reviews are overly harsh. Not all, but some. Maybe I just haven't caught them at a bad time, but Mike's Olympic Diner on Forest has never let me down. They have 4.1 stars on Google Reviews. The contrast in reviews on Yelp & Google tells me that some people just really like to complain. I've been ordering and getting food in person at Mike's for years now. The food is filling, and delicious quite frankly. However, I do agree that the prices are a bit steep. But I don't order from them everyday. I'm eating them as we speak and keep stopping to eat then go back to typing. Mike's Olympic is my go-to place to order diner food. They haven't failed me yet, so I'm leaving a good review. Good food here!

    When I think about eating at a diner, I often imagine a diner in the middle of a dirt road that offers a place of solace and comfort. In this imagery, painted by movies and television, what makes a diner so warm and homey is the nurturing waitress that is friendly, kind, nurturing, and provides a calming presence. That was Doreen for me, who made my dining experience so warm and comfortable. We had some small talk which helped me relax after a long night taking care of our newly arrived baby girl. When I wanted to change my order, she was prompt and wasn't defensive like some others might be. The food was also plentiful and filling, coming out piping hot and delicious. They also occasionally come around to refill our coffee quite frequently, which makes diners feel cared for. Although diner foods have been getting more expensive due to inflation, I believe it's worth it especially with the nice little warm and friendly interactions. Thank you Doreen, for making this experience so calming and enjoyable. Thank you for reading and best of luck! (:

    Special delivery! When you plan to stay in and have a movie night or just crave comfort food this is it.

    The best comfort food for a Saturday night in. Everything we ordered was cooked to perfection.

    Eggs tasted like they were scrambled with vegetable oil

    There were ANTS on the table when we were being seated. ANTS. I didn't notice right away when I sat down, so I had stayed in the same spot for a few minutes, by which point my jacket had some ants over it. For reference, this table was by the back entrance to the left. I moved myself without asking and called over my waitress to tell her about it. She laughed and said she was sorry and that she'll get someone to take care of it. Hint: I sat there eating for over an hour, and no one ever came to "take care of it". So besides the fact my coat had ants on it, I ordered some breakfast plates and could not be any more disappointed. It was like the pancakes were soggy and rushed. The eggs tasted like they came out of a wooden container, and the coffee tasted stale. Really hits you hard when you realize your party spent roughly $50 on meals that weren't worth half that. Disappointed. They used to be a really nice spot, too.

    Working lunch

    I was on Staten Island yesterday for a work project. Everything went smoothly so I had time for lunch before heading back. Please let me get this out of the way first. I'm not a fan of Staten Island. Sorry just not. To me the entire island is laid out wrong. Getting from one place to another can be a nightmare, and the Staten Island Expressway, well don't get me started. I guess you'll have to take that into consideration with my review of this "Diner". I've passed Mike's Olympic Diner many times and often thought " I should try this place". I shouldn't have those thoughts. We walk in and are seated promptly. Why not there's only three other tables occupied. A young man come over takes our order and leaves. Of I ordered a hamburger which said it came with mushrooms and fried onions. I prefer sautéed onions but whatever. My associate orders an omelette. Omelette for lunch? Again whatever. I say associate, but he's actually my son wanting to learn the business then kick me out. LOL Back to lunch... 30 minutes and we're still waiting. 30 minutes for a burger and an omelette. A man, who I think was the owner is just walking around drinking a soda. How about stroll into your kitchen and see what's going on. Finally lunch comes out and to my surprise the "fried" onions are actually sautéed onions. After one bite, my roll falls apart because it is so soggy. I cut it up, eat what I can and ask for the bill. BTW I ordered an iced tea with it which came with ice, but the drink was warm and the ice melted in minutes. Took about 5 minutes to get the bill too. Good bye. I gave two stars should only be one but I recently bought a new set of wireless ear buds, then misplaced them. Well when I got in my car a noticed them wedged between the seat and the door. I guess I have to give Mike's Olympic Diner some credit, but don't be confused it's certainly not for the food or service.

    Order 2 bacon cheeseburger deluxe and they gave me burger without the bacon smh
    Earl L.

    I ordered 2 bacon cheeseburger deluxe and they delivered the regular deluxe without bacon. I paid for bacon and didn't get it. This in totally unacceptable. The also messed up my delivery address.

Well, WAS is the key word. My husband gave it 3 star because of the mission of the Cafe, but the food he would give a 2. We ordered the cheese grits bowl for pickup. We got a container of cheese grits- okay but they needed salt and more cheese. A container of scrambled eggs cooked soft like we asked but they also needed salt, and a container with 2 sausage patties (which were flavorless). We also got a side of biscuits. Dry, seemed like the kind in a can- with no butter or honey, just a bunch of ketchup! My husband saw the banana pudding in the mason jar- so he added that to our order. $8. He went back in because he didn't see it. They said it was in a container. He returned and it was in there- in a very tiny container barely filled halfway- looking nothing like the one in the restaurant, and it wasn't that good, the bananas weren't ripe, and still hard. I'm thankful for the mission, so we may give it another try but maybe eating in is the way to go- we won't do takeout again!

Most importantly, it seems they love what they do and love their customers. It's SO important when you can feel that kind of good energy because then you know you're in good hands. I came for a big birthday dinner. All the appetizers were pre-ordered and we got to choose from four entrees (bronzino, chicken, a burger, or salmon). When it comes to large table spreads, some dishes are always better than others. The food was good. I really enjoyed the octopus, charcuterie board, and the burrata (especially the sauce it came with). The middle course was pasta and they gave us a tasting of two. One was a vodka sauce pasta and the other had bolognese. Both good. By the time our entrees arrived I could barely eat another bite. I had the chicken. It was fine, nothing special. I liked the porcini sauce it came with and the mashed potatoes. Since it's a bakery they have a nice selection of sweets. Too bad I had zero room for desserts but people seemed to enjoy the profiteroles. On a Saturday night this tiny restaurant was packed. Another shoutout to the service because they don't have much staff and it's hard managing a party of 20 plus other tables. They did a really nice job.

What really stood out to me was the presentation. The plating is decorative and gives upscale, fine dining vibes, which makes the whole brunch feel elevated rather than just casual. The atmosphere is one of my favorite parts. It has a cute café-style brunch vibe with an airy, light, and inviting decor. It feels relaxed but still aesthetically put together. The service was also excellent--our server was very attentive and made sure we were taken care of the entire time. I also liked that they offer mocktails and allow BYOB for alcohol, which gives you flexibility depending on your preference. Now, just to be real--this place is popular, so expect a wait. It can get crowded and a bit tight inside, especially during peak brunch hours. Parking is also something to plan for since there's limited space (the lot only fits about four cars), so you'll likely need to find street parking. Overall, I definitely recommend Blossom Brunch. The food, vibe, and service are all on point. Honestly, they're doing so well that I hope they expand soon--it's clearly a spot that's in demand and could benefit from more space.

    The ambiance was charming and inviting. Although the space was slightly small inside, the wall…read moredécor was stylish and added to the restaurant's character. The pancakes were definitely the highlight of the meal. We ordered the sampler sizes of the Tres Leches, Fruity Pebbles, and Banana Pudding pancakes. Out of the three, the Fruity Pebbles pancakes were by far the best, flavorful, fun, and wellbalanced. The Tres Leches pancakes, while good in concept, were overwhelmingly sweet. The Banana Pudding pancakes, however, were enjoyable and had a nice balance of flavor. For savory dishes, the Crab Cake Benedict was excellent and full of flavor. Unfortunately, the Chicken & Waffles Benedict did not meet expectations. The chicken lacked seasoning and crispiness, making the dish taste bland overall. I was not a fan of that particular entrée. On the other hand, the regular Chicken & Waffles dish was much better and came with three wings coated in a tasty hot honey sauce. The service and hospitality, however, left a lot to be desired. Although our waiter was kind , the timing of food was lacking. Also they did forget to give us utensils and we had to ask when one of the dishes arrived (because they didn't all arrive at the same time ) . Our table of four initially received only three drinks, leaving one person waiting an additional five minutes for theirs. The food was brought out one dish at a time rather than together, which disrupted the dining experience. The last dish to arrive, the Chicken & Waffles and Eggs Benedict ,came out so late that the rest of the table had already nearly finished eating. Overall, while some of the food items stood out positively, the lack of coordination and attentiveness in service negatively impacted the overall experience.
