If you read my reviews, then you know I am a creature of habit. So, a frequent return to and a subsequent review of the Olympic Diner in Hilliard should not be a surprise. Having met Ray and his wife, the owners who are always there, I've learned that the meat items offered, including the corn beef hash, comes regularly from an Amish meat market in Detroit because they care just that much about all the food items on their menu to the minutest detail. Food is fresh cooked and service is always on time. And, because there's plenty served, you'll always need a "to go box" when you leave. If you don't like the home cooked food, get off my stool and go to a chain restaurant! I love this place, so I bring the ambience myself! read more

Eat there at least once a week, great food, service and reasonable prices! Breadfast served all day

Popular diner in Hilliard was my breakfast spot this Sunday morning and I am happy to begin making this a regular stop. Location: intersection of Rome-Hilliard and Roberts Road, Hilliard Ohio. Parking: perfect indicator of seating. Parking supports several businesses in this small plaza but majority of spots seem to hold Olympic diners. I took last 1 of 2-3 open spots and there were no open tables and 3 seats at the counter. Price: Inexpensive. Portions are large, too (good value) I sat down at the counter, leaving 2 seats together open for other customers and struck up a nice conversation with a young lady finishing her second breakfast. I asked how the sausage gravy was and got the rundown of her feast, and 2 breakfast orders. Her companion recommended the meat loaf but 10am in a Sunday morning is not meatloaf zone for me. The exchange intrigued me enough to order the #4 breakfast special: 'over easy, rye' 3 eggs, any style (over easy for me), 3 meats (sausage links, bacon, ham), home fries, and toast (rye for me). Huge 'there is no way I can finish this' feast for just under $9 was delivered quickly, despite the breakfast rush. Coffee added $2.29 to the order and was freshly brewed and good. The food was cooked well and tasted good. The eggs were perfect. The potatoes were a generous portion, but not as crispy as I would have preferred. Definitely still tasty though. I watched in awe at the kitchen filling orders and the staff scooping the plates from the kitchen window and delivering to the guests. It's simply fun watching a busy, well-orchestrated restaurant run. I would try an omelette on my next visit (unless I go for dinner, then I'm going to have to try the meat loaf) ... the breakfast meat festival was good but definitely more for a lumberjack. It was a good sampler though - and since this was my first visit, the perfect order. I would probably also ask for a side of grilled vegetables (available on the menu) and cooked with the potatoes and request them extra crispy. Very nice experience. read more

My third visit of Olympic Diner. Great classic songs in background with servers humming or lightly singing along. It's Your Thing by Isley Brothers playing now. Consuming my favorite meal of the day, breakfast. I ordered Meat Lovers Omelette with a side of hash browns, biscuit and a cup of sausage gravy added. Meal delivered quickly, not even five minutes but place was very empty today. Wonderful tasting omelette. Cooked well. You can pay thru your iPhone. QR code on receipt enables contactless payment and is quick. Allows for tips to be added and receipt sent to you. Email is required to finish payment. The visits have been warmly welcomed. Servers are busy so expect a longer wait than other places but they are friendly and service is excellent. read more

You guys are the bomb.com read more

Wide variety menu but everything that comes out the kitchen is made very well!! We get this place at least once a week because it's consistently good. Love the tomato bisque soup- Wednesday and Thursday special. read more

Good stuff! The parking is fine once you get into the lot (looks a bit odd from the street). The service was friendly, you could tell that there were lots of regulars who were enjoying each other and the staff. I had scrambled eggs, sausage and a waffle. Everything was fine and I look forward to more visits. read more

Very friendly service and a great breakfast at a clean, casual joint. We'll make a point of going back wherever we're in town.

Great food, great service. We have been here several times and the food is always delicious.

Stay away from the meatloaf! Rubbery texture made this the worst meal I have had anywhere

I've heard nothing but good things about this restaurant and we wanted to give it a try. We stopped by on a Sunday around 11:30 and they were very busy, which was a good sign. We only had to wait a few minutes and the hostess, who I think was one of the owners, was very kind and kept us updated. Our server Sophia was very kind. She was very attentive and made sure we always had everything we needed. We thought the eggrolls could have used some bbq mixed with the pulled pork, but everything else was good. The Mama Bowl was delicious and the fried potatoes on the bottom are just like grandma used to make. Hole in the wall diner with excellent customer service and great food. read more

Good breakfast choices was fantastic! Glad we made the trip to try. We will be back for sure. Plenty of more options to try!

Food was very good and service excellent. Standard diner fare but fried mushrooms were above the grade. Great value for comfort food. read more

Great food, fast service, friendly atmosphere. All around great experience. I would recommend to anyone.

Had a great waitress and good Eggs Benedict! Nothing fancy, just eggs cooked right and hollandaise sauce not broken. It scratched the itch!! I would love if they offered another side (or side choices) instead of potatoes, but I also didn't ask because I didn't know I wouldn't be crazy about the potatoes...so maybe they would! I know to ask for next time, because I'm sure I will go back. read more

Great place for breakfast. Good coffee. My husband likes the soups. Staff is super friendly and helpful!

Amazing food, amazing friendly service. A hidden gem that we are glad we stubbled across.

This place is awesome! It's a family owned business, and you can feel the love when you walk through the door. The food is excellent, and the service is top notch. I might become a regular here. read more

I ate here a couple years ago I did not care for the food the service was so so but you were very busy! I would not recommend this!

Nice little diner. My wife and I got the #1 breakfast and it came out great. Great customer service and the food came out in good timing, considering they were pretty packed. I will be back to try their burger sometime. I only gave 4 because of the napkin issue. We only got the one with the silverwear wrapped in the napkin and that's it. It would be nice to have more at the table, besides going to the restroom and getting a paper towel everytime I need a extra one. read more

I've lived up the road from here for 7 years and only just now visited. We came here for breakfast and we're not disappointed. We were immediately greeted and sat. Our server was very attentive and pleasant. The food was your typical diner food. However, not greasy. The portions were good and the food was hot and quick. Not overpriced at all. We will definitely come back! read more

Amazing first visit for breakfast today! I had a buttermilk pancake with my Greek omelette & the hubs enjoyed a cup of cottage cheese with his smoked sausage/3eggs breakfast. Super friendly service, fast & delicious generous servings . We can't wait to come back and get lunch! read more

Food might be good, didn't get that far, the place is extremely neglected, filthy, and overall not a place i would eat in. Windows were filthy, there's garbage left on the ledges all over the place, the grime build up on the floors makes it look like it's been 20+ years, looks like it's one random inspection from a board of health sticker. read more

Great diner we stopped at after a soccer tournament. Was Sunday around lunchtime so they were understandably pretty busy. The wait to get seated was reasonable and the waitress was friendly, attentive and moved pretty damn quick. After ordering, the food came out quick, hot, correct and delicious. Wife had the reuben sandwich which was one of the best she ever had. The Italian sub was excellent. Son had the kids 1/4 lb cheeseburger meal that he devoured. Oh, and the french fries were extra crispy like they were twice fried. Very good diner food. Looking forward to trying their enticing breakfast food next weekend when we will be in town. read more

Yummy, no frills diner located in a strip mall at the intersection of Hilliard-Rome Rd & Roberts Rd. Menu has a good selection of breakfast, lunch/dinner items. There are also daily specials.

I would definitely return when I'm craving cheap but tasty comfort food. read more

First visit this morning. I saw the window sign for $3.99 weekday breakfast and said hey, yes. I went to the gym first. I sat in a booth and had the no meat #3 full breakfast for $4.99, which was 2 eggs, home fries, and toast, translated to me eating 2 eggs over easy, home fries (I prefer hash browns but these were great), and rye toast with apple cinnamon jelly. Add coffee and water and I had a great post-workout meal. Pleasant service too, especially the little boy who brought me my menu. :-) read more

I have never been but I have heard great things & plan to go soon! I am a nurse practitioner at a local medical office. A patient of mine had arguable the worst night of his senior life..car accident, er visit, stranded at the Er, getting a cab home only to find his house keys were in his now totaled vehicle. He spent most of the evening stranded at the Waffle House on Roberts rd trying to find a Locksmith, only to discover that 24hr emergency locksmiths are now extinct due to covid. He walked from the Waffle House to the Olympic diner- not a short walk- anyways while at the Olympic diner he met Alex. Alex works at the restaurant and not only paid for his breakfast but drove him home and waited while the locksmith assisted him with getting into his home. Alex may not remember but he was truly the only light in my patients horrible night, when he told me the story he teared up remembering his kindness. So thank you Alex. I just wanted the community and the owners to know that we have a super hero among us. read more
