Great Food! The 85 character restriction on yelp reviews is a load of BS. Way to make the end user do all your work you corporate pigs.

Good food, good coffee, and the nicest staff anywhere! I got the classic pita, and will have about three meals.

In the mood for Greek food? Give Olga's Kitchen a try! My husband and I both love the Original Olga. I think I tried other entrees before but always go back to the Original. He gets the Original Olga Plus Meal, while I order Olga's Perfect Trio Meal with the Cream of Broccoli Soup and seasoned curly fries. It is just the right size for me. I cannot eat an Olga or curly fries without a mix of garlic seasoning and ketchup. The seasoned fries are absolutely delicious, but I need that extra garlic/ketchup boost. Of course, we top everything off by splitting an Olga Bread Pudding (chocolate flavor is the only way to go!). If you haven't tried Olga's, their bread is fantastic when it's warm and soft. The kids' meals were my children's favorites. I still enjoy a Kid's Hot Dog or Kid's Three Cheese Olga once in a while. Try it! read more

Stopped in for a noon Sunday family lunch. Had to wait for a little bit and it was easy to see they were busy. Megan was our server and she was very pleasant. The meal was ok but this review is more about my Olga and not about the rest of the meals. I order one of two things at any Olga's I go to. Peasant soup and salad OR the Olga's perfect trio. Today I went off script and tried something new. The Chicken Shawarma Olga. Sounded good even though the description could mean a little spicy. It was supposed to arrive with pickled onions, garlic Olga's sauce, McClure's sweet and spicy pickles , and the smoke seasoned chicken. I got 2 pickles, regular onions, and a spot of sauce, and the chicken. Now Megan was already a bit flustered and I know she did not make my sandwich but I am pretty sure this wasn't what the creative gods had in mind. Management apologized and that was the end of it. I think I will be going back to my usual suspects as I have never had a problem with them. Oh well. read more

After over an hr of waiting for a simple order of 3 Olga's and 2 bowls, our order was still not received. I went to the front to ask our waitress what was going on. She gave me a nasty look and told me she was doing the best that she could. We were the only ones in the entire restaurant!!! She offered no apology whatsoever. Just kept looking at me w a bad attitude like I was wrong. We pd for our appetizers and left. She even offered up the info that they still had 1 more order to make. An hr for 5 orders????? Nothing special about any of the orders either. All the while she was giving us the stink eye. Do not go here. They are rude and have the worst customer service I've ever experienced. Very disappointed and confused as to why we were made out to be the bad guys. And as an added issue...it took so long we were literally there until closing time and still didn't have our food. Horrible horrendous hospitality. read more

I have frequented this place for many years, and each visit has consistently delivered delicious food paired with exceptional customer service. The original Olga sandwich, curly fries, and a basket of snackers are my go-to meal choices. For a sweet ending, I always opt for the orange cream cooler as my dessert. I plan to keep coming back to this place for its exceptional cuisine. read more

nothing worse than overpaying for lousy food- very disappointing! everyone was complaining... read more

Very disappointed. I ordered the Greek chicken fajitas. Everything was extremely bland and the rice tasted like it was reheated in a microwave. The chicken was dismal. Looked like it was steamed or something. Just seems like absolute minimum effort at this place. read more

We've been there many times. Sometimes too noisy. Food is very good across the menu. Service varies somewhat widely, usually associated with time of day and how busy they are. read more

Table for 12 please! They sat us in the back room. It was a bit chilly but nothing a hot cup of tea wouldn't fix. Our waitress was fabulous too. She was very attentive with drinks and food. Four of us showed up a bit early to prep them for our party. We ordered apps first to snack on. We had cheese balls and spinach dip with pita breads. Yummy. Thier salad are good and the peasant soup fabulous! It had lamb and beef with lots of vegis plus barley. Our waitress told us it's made fresh in house every morning!! I had the half gyro with soup n salad. read more

OMG, my fav fast food. I've been eating Olga's originals since the mid-1970s in their first Birmingham Michigan location. I don't live in Michigan anymore so anytime I am in Michigan I know where I'm going to fill my belly. This time with my daughter with me she got to enjoy an original Olga's and now she's addicted also. I used to love the salad but it's a little different now that it's not chopped more, But the dressing still is the same delicious dressing from years ago. By the way the original Olga tastes exactly the same as it did almost 50 years ago. read more

many don't advertise a whole bowl of mac and cheese when i just get a scoop. got a few bites and left hungry.

This review is based on a takeout order. We ordered two full size Olga salads, one with chicken and one with gyro meat. The portion is comical for $10 each. It is a big bowl of iceberg lettuce with virtually no toppings. The chicken which was in a separate container is a very small child's portion. The gyro meat had an old rancid taste to it like it's sat around forever. We also got the snackers with cheese. The cheese is the smallest little round ball of cheese I've ever seen. Like the smallest melon baller scoop you could make. It's enough for about 3 snackers. This feels like a rip off, even during Covid time. Will not be back again for this quality and value. You can go anyplace else in town and get a far better salad with more toppings and more meat for the price. read more

I rate this meal, "Can't talk! Busy eating!" (With sufficient sauce. LOL) Thanks for feeding the post-vaccine masses...see you in three weeks! read more

We were picking up a puppy about a 1/2 hour away & I was not about to miss an opportunity to get Olga's. It's been a favorite of mine since I was a kid. Growing up in the St. Louis area we had them in our local malls. Now that I'm in Chicagoland I have to do without. I called in advance to order since we had the dog in the car. She asked if they could bring it out to me. What? "We have curbside," she responded. Perfect!!! We didn't even have to go in for pick-up. When we got there we were surprised to find that this wasn't a typical mall Olga's, but instead a stand alone restaurant within a strip mall. We pulled into the take-out parking spot & they promptly brought our order to the window. Awesome! Very friendly. The food was made as we ordered it & just as yummy as always. Very pleased! read more

You know the food that you're getting, but apparently there's a new management team here. Patrick, the manager is engaging and very attentive. Bonnie, our server was quick and also very pleasant. The food was great! read more

We had been wanting to try this place when in town for quite a while. Apparently they have this thing they call an Olga which is a cross between a pita and a pancake. There was some confusion because we ordered a starter basket of "best bread on the planet" which turned out to be just the Olga pitas with no butter or hummus. We ordered the soup which comes with "Snacker" which are just Olga chips with something on them. Both the Olga bread and chips were almost tasteless. I brought some home just to verify it wasn't me. I finally figured out the thing they call the original Olga is a gyro. It was disappointing. The meat is from a slicer machine and not carved like it says. (yes there is a difference). It had very little sauce and a speck of tomato. We won't be returning. read more

Olga's Kitchen - a plate of quesadillas and a bowl of dip - Mediterranean Near Me - Lansing, Michigan

Yikes. Where is a manager in this place? And if one is present, then how do they still have a job? Stopped in last night to grab a bite while in the shopping center with my husband and kiddo. We must have waited 20+ minutes on a DEAD night to be seated. No one was at the host stand to greet and the person at the take out counter would avoid eye contact with waiting and confused patrons and just claimed it's not her job to handle host. No one's asking you to handle the host stand, maybe just flag down a manager or server? Servers seemed to be socializing at the expo most of the night. After being seated in a dead dining room our server was on point. Jumped right away to get us waters and grabbed our order. BUT after our lack luster chicken sandwich hit the table, she was gone gone. Food wise. Oh lord. Ordered hummus and bread. Hummus was clearly scooped out of a cold container and plopped on a dish. Chunky and dry. the bread coming out warm was the only upside. The sandwich was just sad. So so sad. Crispy chicken sandwich was abysmal and so unappetizing covered head to toe in too much sauce and onions. I looked at my husband and begged to just leave and get a chicken finger pita at Leo's. Thank god we finally just scarfed down what we could after scraping the sandwich sauce off and grabbing the bill as soon as we could. We got out of there and I took about 4 Pepcid to quell the acid reflux. What have I done. Next time Leo's is the only chicken sandwich option for me in town. read more

Amazing service and great food. A fun and inviting place to send your lunch or dinner with the family. They have awesome kid options and many vegetarian options also. They offer gluten free also. The management is great and the cooks take pride in the food they put out. read more

I Must say when I went to go pick up my to go order the young lady dezhare was so kind and sweet .. plus had my order ready and packed right

I'm very underwhelmed by Olga's. I've given them 2 chances. The only good thing are the fries when they actually come out hot. The Olga's are small and bland. The pasta salad is BLAND. The broccoli and cheese soup is decent but BLAND. The hummus is borderline tasteless. The to-go curbside is nice and the two people who have helped me are super nice if that helps. They won't be getting any more of my money for this mediocre food though. Try at your own risk. read more

Went there the other day to have lunch and I had a manger approach me and ask me to buy her only fans that is extremely unprofessional especially for manager to ask a customer.then when I was going to leave that same manager is outside smoking weed I think her name was sarah.overall very horrible experience and probably will never return read more

This afternoon I ordered the Ham and Cheese Olga along with the snackers. Both of them were delicious and left me satisfied! The staff were amazing as well. I will definitely be returning. read more

This place was packed! We love Olga's but visit usually as just a treat. We got the zucchini snacks and I got the olga salad with lamb and beef. It was so delicious! And guilt free. Which left me thinking we could split a bread pudding. I ate that so fast I can't remember how it tasted but it must have been good. My friend had the chicken olga with soup. No complaints. A table the hostess was going to seat us at was dirty. I mentioned it and she wiped it with the menu. Lol. Then she sat us in a small booth. The railing or divider next to it was very dusty. I was shocked, but either way we will come again. read more

I have ordered Olga's twice now for catering events and they have done a great job! Easy to order online and the food was ready at pick up time. Very good food and everyone enjoyed it. My only feedback would be they did not provide enough plastic ware and plates for the amount of food/people there were. I would recommend asking for extra! read more

I've been to this restaurant about 10 times, and have suffered the same experience every time. It has the worst service in the greater Lansing area that I know of. It's so slow! And you know that's saying something while delucas is still in business. But while delucas has pizza that is renowned in the area, Olga's serves what is basically glorified "fast" food. read more

Haven't eaten at Olga's for over 20 years, but I remember loving it as a kid, so when I was in the Frandor area, I stopped in and wanted to see if the food was still as good as I remembered. Maybe it was because I was a child and had a small appetite, but I thought the food was more filling back then... my original olga, with beef and lamb was kinda small. The chicken schwarma was not that good, also small, and had an over powering curry taste to it. The snackers with spinach and feta dip was the best part of the meal. Broccoli cheese soup was very bland. Probably just gonna get snackers to go next time Im in the area. read more

I made my first visit to Olga's tonight and I didn't know what to expect, but I was pleasantly surprised. I loved my Original Olga. The meat was deliciously seasoned and tender. The sauce was just the right amount of tang and zest to compliment the meat. The fries were just ok in my opinion, and I wasn't crazy about the hummus, but the pita chips and salads weren't bad. I liked the quinoa salad more than the pasta, and thought it was unique that it they both were served over lettuce. I felt the price was a little high, but that is seeming to be a trend lately. A couple sandwiches and fries used to be a reasonably priced dinner, and my order of two Olga wraps, two orders of fries, two side salads, and an appetizer was $34.00 after tip. I'll probably go back for a wrap, but will likely hold the sides. read more

This incident happened a couple months back. Just haven't had the time to actually write a review. After a long day at work I didn't feel like cooking so I decided to order delivery from good ol' Olga's. I decided to get something light just a salad and a bowl of soup for my dinner. The ordering and delivery process was easy peasy but until I got my food that's when things went to a turn. My Olga's salad was fine but until I started eating my soup I got surprised with something in my soup. There was a mysterious HUGE chunk of something I couldn't figure out for the longest. It was absolutely disgusting. I don't see how someone did not notice throwing that in my bowl. Ultimately I had to throw the whole soup away. read more

I came to this restaurant and it was extremely busy. The staff was super friendly. The food was delicious and everyone was great

The staff was friendly, the restaurant was clean, and the food was good. Plus, it is a good location. Convenient

Very clean seating and tables. The service was very fast and they got the entire order exactly correct. Brooke, our waitress, was very polite and friendly. Food, of course, was excellent and very delicious. Would, and will, come again and recommend to everyone I know visiting the Frandor area. read more

I've been coming to Olga's since I was a little kid. Back in the day, there was a location on Grand River, a counter in the Meridian Mall, and a sit-down location in the Lansing mall. I don't live in East Lansing anymore, but Olga's is always one of the first stops when I come to visit. I've never explored much of the menu beyond the snackers, salad, and 3-cheese Olga -- I'm sure everything else is good, I just know what I like and it rarely disappoints! Recently I was in town, and stopped in with my family for dinner. The food was especially on point that evening, we all agreed. This location is currently under construction for renovations. They close at 9, and we were pretty much finished up by then -- just needed to pay our bill. At about 10 after 9, someone working on the construction started *very* loudly pulling out/hammering nails (or something?) from the booths a few seats away from us. I mean, it was LOUD. I understand that technically they were closed, and we were lingering a bit (we left at 9:15), but I wish they would have waited a few minutes before starting that noisy of a project until after we had left. As we were leaving, I noticed people were still stopping by to pick-up curbside orders too, so it's not as if we were the only patrons keeping them there. Not a deal breaker -- still 5 stars from me, but a bit of a buzz kill after a nice meal, which may have been one of the last times I'll ever get to visit an Olga's (my family is moving out of the area, and they don't have any locations out here on the West coast!). read more

The Olga Original is very good along with Olga salads which are very fresh. The wrap is slightly sweet but taste excellent. I wasn't really sure if I would like it but it is very good and just the right thickness! read more

This was the worst restaurant I've ever eaten at my entire life in Lansing Michigan. It was freezing cold inside the restaurant. I ordered a tea and it wasn't good so I traded it for a pop and I was charged for both drinks. It took a long time for the food to come but it was horrible then we were rushed to leave as they had other patrons waiting. We will never go back. read more
