The food service in the ambience were perfect. We were seated in a booth and had a lovely meal. We all ordered the same thing the spinach pie and it came out crispy and delicious. Our waiter was very friendly and kept our table going with appetizers and desserts and water, etc.. read more

I finally tried Olympia Cafe and when I say 10/10, I mean it, on all aspects! I decided to treat myself on my last week of living in Savannah. I love Greek food and I always enjoy venturing out to new restaurants. I went in on a Wednesday. My waitress, Hannah, was amazing. I cannot thank her enough for the level of service and the overall hospitality I experienced here. She let me try some wine, before I decided to commit to one. I also was provided a complimentary appetizer and she said "OPA" with me. It was truly an experience. I decided to try the branzino and I'm so happy I did! The fish was seasoned to perfection- it was fresh and light. I enjoyed it with their rice/peas and you have to have the Greek lemon potatoes. The food in itself had me wishing that I had more time to try more entrees on the menu. I had lived in Savannah for over three years and had neglected to visit them. I took the Greek lemon chicken home and Hannah packed me a little dessert to enjoy. I had mentioned my apartment was packed and she packed me extra silverware and napkins to go. She put the most level of CARE into my visit and I'm so grateful she was my waitress. Final Verdict: I will be stopping by whenever I'm in the area again. This has to be one of the best Greek restaurants, if not the best I've tried in my life. read more

All I can see is OMG.....this restaurant is very authentic and the food is fantastic. If you follow my posts, you know I travel with my son alot and he's a vegetarian, and quite frankly, a pain in the @ss. I know we're in Savannah GA and it seems odd we're dining at a Greek restaurant, but there was something we both liked. The food was excellent. My son a falafel pita wrap and he said its the best one he's ever had. I had a gyro platter which was excellent and HUGE. We had a spanikopita appetizer which was delicious as well. Good choice, son read more

Loved the fits but overpriced. Although, I did enjoy the separation of the Cafe. It seemed as though you could hip from the first pidgin for coffee, next to the restaurant for a sit down meal, and lastly for yogurt or Gelato. Very friendly staff, family oriented, and great Greek a read more

Still a horrible place, dark, dismal and come to find out they are just now getting around to tearing asbestos out of it, so god knows how much got into the food. read more

Went for a quick dinner, a local from the area recommended this place for an easy gyro because everything on the river will be tourist prices. Fries were hot, all the food was fresh and the food was good. There's plenty of seating inside in the cafe part so we ordered & sat down at the tables- I have no complaints. Looking for food that's good & quick? go here! read more

This was a cute little stop right on the water for drinks and snacks. We came in for drinks before a boat tour but the baklava looked so good we had to partake. We did not eat a meal but if the drinks and authentic baklava is any indication of their food, I would say it's a great place to stop for Greek food. It's just a cute stop that's worth trying when visiting the waterfront in Savannah. The gentleman working the counter service was very helpful with recommendations and very accommodating. read more

We were looking for a nice brunch/lunch spot on the river in Savannah and this place was perfect! They kept their normal menu for "weekend brunch" hours and that's exactly what we were looking for! (We did not want a special brunch menu like most of the river dining options seemed to offer). The staff was very prompt, attentive, and helpful. read more

We've been here twice, once as a to go order and the latest for sit down dinner. We will be coming back for any and all celebrations. Food: 10/10 amazing tasting everything. We had a party of 4 and ordered Lamb, stuffed fish, steak, Greek lasagna, and Calamari. Everything was so delicious. It took some time to get to our table but the flavor was well worth the wait. Great portion sizes too. Service: Erin was our server and absolutely amazing. She made our experience worth all 5 stars. She knew about the meals as well as wine and drinks to pair. She made sure we had what we needed without pestering us every 5 minutes. We felt like we could really sit down and enjoy ourselves. She even sent us home with baklava as a welcome to Savannah as we just moved here. Ambiance: very warm relaxing feeling, like you were meeting up on a summer evening with close friends and family. The music was a wonderful addition and even the occasional "OPA!" Was a positive to the air of the restaurant. Other guests were welcoming and suggested some great food we will try next time. You should definitely try this. We came later in the evening so it wasn't too busy, it can be packed during the day, for a good reason! read more

We were visiting from out of town and wanted Greek food. Olympia Café says that it is a Greek restaurant I ordered a Greek salad that was absolutely horrendous. It was a plate of sliced tomatoes with a few slivers of cucumber and barely a tablespoon of red onion, three pieces of feta and two olives and two pepperoni peppers. It was the worst salad ever So very disappointing. I would not recommend going to this restaurant. The ambience is so so and the bathroom is really ugly. The wait was OK nothing to write home about. read more

This was my second time here like 2-3 years later. We came back because we had a positive experience on our first visit. This second time around wasn't as great. The appetizers were tiny, the food took over an hour to come out, service was pretty slow... it was a mediocre experience and we'll likely not return at this point. The food was alright (calamari platter at least) but nothing crazy either and the prices have increased a lot while the portions have decreased more. read more

Olympia Cafe - Calamari platter - Greek Near Me - Savannah, Georgia

Stayed at the Hyatt on River Street and in search of local eats. We decided to pop in to Olympia Cafe since we had a stroller with a baby and luckily they were able to get us a table in the corner. This was baby's first time at the restaurant. We ordered calamari, souvlaki, gyro (yeero), and fish and chips. We asked for some mixed veggies for baby and received bell peppers, onions and zucchini. So don't get your hopes up for kid friendly peas and carrots. The plates were good, plentiful. I enjoyed the fresh bread for the table and also the calarmari was perfect. Lightly breaded and paired with a cool dipping sauce. Every so often a server would come by and make a fire with a table appetizer and it lit up a big flame. The ambiance feels authentic, very intimate. A family next to us had about four kids which I can tell annoyed some of the patrons. However it was great to see a family having a meal with all the wildness that comes with it. Overall it was a good experience and would recommend trying if you are on River Street and looking for romantic dinner. read more

Chicken came out pink! Very scary. Dirty floors. You know this place is bad when other places are packed on the street and not a soul here. read more

The food was fresh and delicious! We had the lamb and falafel gyro as takeaway and could not have been happier with our choice!!

One of the signs of cleanliness of the restaurant is the bathroom - the bathroom here was very underwhelming, similar to the food. Tried chicken kebabs, Greek salad, fries - everything was very meh. To top it off, we were overcharged 2x - once on the salad and 2nd time when the bill split 3 ways, couple bucks was randomly added to each portion. Not worth arguing, but would advise to check your bills read more

I with I took more pictures of the food, because the other options were delicious. The Kalamari was fried perfectly, and thrilling sauce was so good. The falafel was okay, the seasoning was a bit too over powering. Chicken kebab was DELISH, and the shrimp Aegan was probably the best thing. I love that there are three places to get things here. I've only done the walk in, grab a quick bite side, and I honestly think that's the best way. When you walk in, it doesn't look the best, but this is some of the most reasonably priced food on river street, and actually tastes good and is authentic to its region. The drink options are good, too! I got a mudslide and was surprised but hot yummy it was. Service was amazing. The gentlemen taking orders and cooking were so helpful with all of our questions. This is a VERYYY casual place. Don't like how it looks deter you from a great meal! read more

I'd give Olympia Cafe 6 stars if I could. It's that good. It's far superior to any of the Greek restaurants in Tarpon Springs, FL, which has a huge Greek population and lots of Greek restaurants. The food was incredible, the service was attentive, and the ambiance was just perfect. The owner is delightful. He came to the table a couple of times to ensure we were happy with our dinners and even sent a red roasted pepper appetizer to the table, which we thoroughly enjoyed. It was a great dining experience, and I highly recommend it. read more

Came highly recommended by a coworker and didn't disappoint! Great food on river street. The Greek salad was fabulous! Huge! Amazing dressing. We also split the gyro which was massive. The tzatziki.....so good! We sat in the dining section just before 6pm which filled up quickly. Great service and yummy food. read more

Really good classic Greek diner in the River front area in Savannah. We stopped in after poking around in all of the shops and ate a quick dinner. The food was really good and totally hit the spot. The menu featured all of the staples, souvlaki and such. We randomly got seated at the best table in the house, by the front window overlooking the street :) Staff was nice and it's a family owned place. read more

This was the response from one of their employees, via private message. This was my response: Im sorry for their loss, but if you are in this business, serving the customer, you will need to give good customer service. Your restaurant is NOT CHEAP! We deserve to have at the very least a good server. If you need time to GRIEVE, you have closed your restaurant to give staff the time to grieve. Unacceptable on your part, you are making an excuse for the poor customer service OVERALL. read more

While searching for shelter from the rain, we ducked into this delicious Greek diner. Both of our gyros were excellent. I had the chicken which has tons of fresh, perfectly charred and flavorful chicken. The pita was soft and yummy. The server brought us extra tzatziki so we could dunk our fries. The food was great and the vibe was just right. It's a big place with a ton of options on the menu. Wish I could've tried the grape leaves. Bonus: there was a nice touch of real roses in vases on each table! read more

While a little pricey, the food was phenomenal. Great location on river street! I believe there was outdoor seating but it was a bit too chilly for us to sit outside. We were promptly sat upon walking in & our food didn't take long to arrive at all. The saganaki was to die for! They even let it on fire right infront of us which was so cool. I love gyros & was beyond satisfied with mine. We absolutely plan to return (& order the saganaki again & again)! read more

Warning vegetarians!!!! The dolmades are stuffed with BEEF!!!! I had a tiny bite and am very sick because I can't digest that stuff. I called asked them to change the menu. They should be more careful; it's not just about vegetarians, it's also an issue for people who have developed red meat allergy from tick bites. People go into anaphylaxis from that! read more

On 12/22, while visiting Savannah, we had lunch at this restaurant. Overall, the service was good. I ordered the gyro, which was a generous portion, and my husband ordered the souvlaki in pita bread. He asked if he could substitute the fries for a small Greek salad, and the server said yes. However, when the bill arrived, we were charged for two sandwiches at $15.75 each, plus an additional $9.95 for the small salad. It would have been helpful to be informed of this beforehand, as we could have adjusted our order and saved $5.00. Additionally, there was a 4% credit card fee, which we weren't told about until the bill was processed. With two beers tip included, the total came to $75.00--quite steep for lunch. The food itself was good, but the unexpected charges and lack of transparency left a negative impression. Unfortunately, we won't be back. read more

It was a busy night so had to wait but it was definitely worth it! The falafel wrap was so fresh and yummy. Even the chicken kabob wrap was really good. Will definitely visit this place again when we are in town. read more

Olympia Cafe - Gyro Sandwich and fries - Greek Near Me - Savannah, Georgia

The food is delicious--like something your Greek grandma would make--and the service is very good. Unfortunately, the restaurant adds a 4% credit card fee on top of already high prices, and they don't disclose it until the bill arrives. That lack of transparency leaves diners without the option to know to bring cash or take their business elsewhere. And they aren't supposed to charge Visa customers more than 3%. They would gotten five stars but the trashy move to charge the credit card fee knocked off two stars. read more

Wow! Puts my favorite Greek restaurant back in VA to shame!!! We had the Kalamari, Olympic Cafe Trio (moussaka, pastitsio, spanakopita) and a side of Dolmades. EVERYTHING was amazing and it will be a "must visit" if I back in town! read more

Restaurant was packed and we were lucky to get a table without a wait. Our table was tucked in the front corner by a window, so that was really nice. Service was excellent, food was good, we eat a lot of Greek food so this filled a craving but not the best we have had. My husband had a platter with fries and I would say skip those. The pita was good, would rather have that served instead of a bread basket. Overall, good if you are in the mood for Greek food on River Street. read more

I came here for the first time with my work collages and I really enjoyed it! We came here for lunch so we enjoyed some wine and some amazing appetizers including the AMAZING SAGANAKI when she brought it out she lit it on fire and we all yelled ""Opa!" which was a lot of fun! With their bread it was just (delicious). We also had the GYRO appatizer and I had the Calamari as my main dish. I would love to come back for dinner and try their ice cream. But I couldn't recommond this place more! read more

This place was by far the worst Greek and Mediterranean food I have ever had. The "fried calamari" was clearly frozen, chewy, and bland. The chicken kabob platter was on a bed an old wilted shredded lettuce. Chicken itself 7/10. Not sure why they call it a Greek salad, when besides a tomato (wrong cut and type) it consisted of a mix of cheap feta and shredded mozzarella, doused in Italian dressing. The lettuce I wouldn't even serve a dehydrated dessert tortoise. We asked for extra pita which the server forgot to bring over. Luckily they remembered to put it on the check. The salmon was "blackened", correct in a layer of salt. Best thing was a sealed bottle of beer. Yet alone the egregious prices. Scopethia read more

Don't go!!! Awful food. I got Greek salad and I couldn't finish it. Just terrible. It was basically a huge tomato, one of the most cheapest one, not even ripped enough, caught in big pieces. Other meal were shrimps and they were just as bad. No thank you! Stay away. read more
