    Reuben Sandwich

    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

    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.

The cost of a croissant- close to $10 each! The place was clean and spacious. Staff was friendly and I liked that Turkish tea gets served on a tiny Persian rug. With that said, I can't get past the price tag. I just think it is way too expensive for what it is.

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.

They do have a small parking lot in their back, but it is maybe 3 spots total, so you may need to find street parking. The service is pretty good, although I was initially annoyed they didn't have paper menus and we had to use our phones. Being on your phone with a small child in a restaurant doesn't always go super well. Later I saw a table get a set of paper menus, which I was a little annoyed they didn't just offer us, especially with a small child. The food was overall good. I shared the pancake trio and the Monroe with my son. The pancakes were all really good. We had gotten the strawberry cheesecake, the caramel pecan, and the blueberry lemon. I think my son really liked the strawberry cheesecake. I thought the blueberry lemon were great. The pancakes tasted like they used some sort of lemon zest or something in the batter, as the lemon really shined through nicely. My eggs were a little overcooked, but the bacon was pretty spot on. I had also gotten a hot chocolate which I thought was good, although there was some powdered mix that was not fully incorporated in the bottom. My biggest gripe was they automatically added an 18% gratuity to all parties of two or more, and if you were going to do that, just raise your prices and have a no-tipping policy. I am sure there are solo diners, but basically everyone is getting charged the 18%, so just raise your prices so there is more transparency for what you are being charged since there was literally no single diners there when I was there. There was also a few price things on our bill that I wasn't thrilled about. Their menu has listed items that are additional for an upcharge. When I had ordered the Monroe, I had the option to add cheese to it, and they asked if I would like any cheese with it, so I said sure. The little bit of cheese was an extra $1.50, and I feel like being that they have other things that they clearly called out as an upcharge, they should have let me know it was an extra $1.50 for this. Also on the bill, they charged me for oat milk for my hot chocolate. I had to draw this to their attention that I hadn't ordered oat milk. they merely said, "well we mixed it in." That's not the point, it did taste a little off, and I specifically ordered a regular hot chocolate. While they took the 50 cents off, it did feel like they were just nickeling and diming me on some things. Overall, I had an okay experience. The pancakes were good, but the service was friendly. By the time we left, the place was completely packed and people were waiting outside so I think that speaks to how good the food is and maybe I just had a slightly less positive experience.
