The blackboard proudly offered "home made corn beef hash by Aaron." Aaron, you make a fine hash. Poached eggs were perfect as well and the price was right. The service was especially lovely. This was the perfect stop off on a long drive. read more

I finally made it here after living in Meriden the last 30 or so years! The place is definitely small and tight. The decor is cute and there are booths lining one side, and a long counter. The menu has so many choices, and I ordered an egg salad club with sweet potato fries. This had to be the fluffiest egg salad I've ever had, and the sweet potato fries were really good. My dad ordered pancakes with 2 eggs and home fries. He said that his breakfast was very good. I would recommend this place if you want a decent-sized and good breakfast/brunch. It's not nice and cozy due to its really small size (which is smaller than what I would call cozy), but if you're looking for good food over comfort, this would deliver. I didn't feel comfortable taking more photos of the location because there were too many people squeezed in. read more

Olympos Diner - Diners Near Me - Meriden, Connecticut

I have been to this privately owned diner a few times. It's a local spot. The owner is always there and KNOWS the regulars orders. You can literally watxh it happen. The staff is friendly. My food has been on point every time, exactly what I ordered and relatively quick to the table. They have a large many and specials, but I'm a sucker for routine. I typically get the French toast and a egg Sammy (as picturee). Sooo good! There are booths and a long counter (which is great for couples and singles). It can be a little loud because it's so busy, but that's a great problem to have and a sign of a great place! Will definitely be back! So glad I found this little place in town. read more

Very solid diner experience! Good fresh breakfast fare and kind staff. Old school in a great way. Good diner coffee. Appears to be an old train car. read more

I came in around 6:20 to initially use the bathroom I had just got out of working overnight and having classes. As I went in a seen a sign saying it's only for paying customers which I didn't mind except for the fact that the old lady was being incredibly nasty and rude to me. I needed to go badly so I put up with it anyways and ordered and went to the bathroom. If I didn't need to use the bathroom I would've left right then because her attitude was so foul. On my way out I was told I had to pay a minimum of 10, somehow 2 eggs costed 6 but 3 is 10? Then I told her I really don't want to add more food then she quickly said she's going to call the cops for dining and dashing even though I didn't dine, I was just put off by her disgusting attitude and didn't feel safe. She also tried to be scary by saying it's a felony when it's actually a misdemeanor. The only reason why I paid for them is because some battles aren't worth it and the gentlemen making the eggs seemed chill so I didn't want to waste his labor. If her attitude wasn't so rude I probably would've ordered more and stayed and had a full breakfast. But the Lady was just so disgusting. I wouldnt even recommend stepping into this place. She thinks calling the cops is going to scare me when I know my rights. She'll be the one going to jail for filing a false police report. People with her type of demeanor should be exposed no one should pay her a dime. read more

I hesitate to give this place a review because it's already so busy but if you drive by and it's not packed, definitely come on in. It's a great little spot! I LOOOOOVE breakfast. It's my favorite meal, all day, every day. Some places stop serving breakfast after 2 pm but not this place. I order my eggs over medium and some places do not understand that concept, but this place gets it. Staff here nice, chill and thoughtful! This is my go to meal order in emojis: Enjoy! read more

LOVE OLYMPOS! Something about the atmosphere - they're friendly, eager to please customers and they have reasonably priced "Mini-Dinners"! The food is always fresh and timely! read more

Ok If you are looking for white table cloths with folded linen napkins this ain't it. What you will find is a great deal on well prepared comfort food. The servers were attentive, quick and friendly. The diner itself is a piece of forgotten history that should be maintained and treasured. The wife and I did the eggs Benedict. She had the hash and I had the black stone. Hash was so real I had to order a side. Most excellent. Oh before we left we had desert. The blueberry ricotta pancake. So Good! read more

Excellent food and service. Reasonably priced. Great find on our way to wedding in Cromwell

Just moved to the area, and of course Googled breakfast/diners. Olympos Diner popped up, I looked at the menu and prices. All breakfasts were under 10.00. I ordered to go. I picked up my order, and it was $25.00 and change, and the waitress actually asked if I want to leave a tip. I paid, I tipped, then quietly let her know on line, its less than half. She tried to come up with a good reason, and I would have just said oh, ok...until the owner piped in, loudly, and caused a scene in front of other customers. I took my food and left. It was very good, portion was great, but not $25.00 breakfast at the diner great for one order. I read more

I always leave Olympos Diner satisfied and happy. I went there this morning with my loved one. We always try to mix it up with savory and sweet dishes that we can share. We decided on an omelette with mushrooms, bacon, onion, and broccoli. Always cooked to perfection with the cheddar perfect melted and always delicious. They had homemade corned beef as a special which was outrageously good. It was hands down the best homemade corned beef hash I've had. Another special on the menu was banana bread french toast. The banana bread was thick so it perfectly grasped the batter and remained moist inside. The exterior had a slight crunch. The flavor was not overly sweet, perfect amount of banana, and left me wanting more with each bite. If you find yourself at Olympos Diner when the blueberry ricotta pancakes are the special, please order them. You can thank me later. Happy eating, LA read more

Darn good food. Generous portions. Quick but not rushed service. Fantastic location. The wife and I stopped here on our way from NH to Long Island. We were hungry and didn't want to go far off our route.... This diner is right by the on/off ramps of 91 and 15. Easy easy easy access and yum yum yum food. Wife ordered breakfast and I got lunch, both executed perfectly. Get the soup of the day! I did - chicken and orzo. Legit homemade. I am a soup snob and this one was a 10 out 10. Diner is clean. Service was great. We were happy we stopped. read more

Olympos Diner - Egg Salad Sandwich and classic two egg breakfast. - Diners Near Me - Meriden, Connecticut

Driving to the New Haven train station this morning, I missed my exit for the Cromwell Diner. Having worked in Meriden for a while, I remembered a small diner on E. Main Street in Meriden, so we headed over there instead. What a nice little place the Olympos DIner is! Absolutely wonderful friendly cheerful service- from the hostess to our waiter. None of the perfunctory small talk, but genuine witty conversations with delightful folks!! Service? I saw a waitress deliver a hot chocolate with whipped cream to a little girl who polished off the whipped cream in five minutes. A few minutes later she came back with the can of whipped cream to refill it and added a splash of chocolate sauce on top !! How's that for customer service! We had the standard fares for breakfast- pancakes, french toast, eggs, some ham, sausage, bacon, and home fries, Everything was excellent. And the coffee was exceptionally good too. We loved this place- an old-time neighborhood diner with a real old-school feel to it. Go check it out.. read more

Travelled an hour to the area for apple picking and wanted some breakfast/lunch. I am picky so looked at the reviews and decided to try them with my vegetarian hubby. He ordered the veggie burger with coleslaw and fries. I ordered the French toast with bacon. The coffee was amazingly good, bacon was crunchy and plentiful and The French toast was OMG good! My husband's French fries were better than any other fries we have had in many years (even better than In & Out's which I love). He even loved his veggie burger which is usually not the case. The prices are reasonable and the service could not have been better!! Overall the best diner experience in many years. We Decided we will go back if we are ever in the area. read more

I love it here. The service is really good and if you read the board patience is a must here at this diner, a patient customer will guarantee get good food. It takes love to cook good food it takes time to show love so if you come here, be ready to talk story and have fun and get rewarded with really good food. I love all the burgers I am yet to try the Benedict, this is my go to place for breakfast or lunch. Love it. Aloha. read more

Invited my parents out to breakfast. This place is so unassuming from the outside you could drive right past it. My eggs Benny was amazing. The fried mozz sticks were unbelievable. The guy who was our waiter that day was easily one of the most personable and delightful wait staff I have ever encountered. My parents loved their meals. I'm shocked I missed writing this review for so long to give them the shout out they deserve. I'm really to go back right now. read more

Best diner I've ever been to. Came here once on a whim thinking it would be typical greasy diner fare and was so amazed at the quality of the food that every time I drive by I have to stop. Everything is fresh, delicious and prepared with love. The soups!! The soups are out of control good - so homemade and packed with flavor no mater the variety. Whatever you're in the mood for, you can bet it will be good. Plus the service is outstanding! Absolutely deserving of a 5 star rating! read more

Service is what makes this place. I got a gyro burger and disco fries. Both were fine. Not up to the crazy hype from other reviews. I'll definitely just be getting a regular burger next time-- and there will be a next time, when I'm in town next, thanks to my server. My waitress was awesome-- wish I got her name, so I could include it here. Just a really friendly, happy woman who made me happy to stop in and support the business! read more

Stopped in for breakfast before seeing my mom off to Pennsylvania. Lots of happy local people enjoying coffee and breakfast and all seem to know each other. The waitress was lovely and friendly and the coffee was good and the breakfast was better. Home fries cooked a little crispy on the edges just the way I like them! Mushroom and cheese omelette was cooked perfectly and delicious. I would recommend stopping in for a bite! read more

Best dinner hands down!!!!! Service is always amazing, nice, and pleasant. Food is extra good, never let down.

Great prices and selection in an old-school diner-type joint. I love that you can order single pancakes for just $3 and change ... and that they actually kind of taste like cupcake batter, which is a little sweet for some, but with their strong coffee, just right for me. The home fries are well-seasoned, the portions are generous (3 whole eggs to the breakfast burrito and big dinner-sized sausages for brekkie), and the cost is low. Service and refills may not be the fastest, but it's friendly, patient, and given with a smile. For basic breakfast and lunch or a value meal, this is a safe bet. read more

I came here for breakfast with my husband. I ordered 2 pancakes eggs eggs bacon sausage. My husband ordered French toast and pancakes with bacon. The food is tasteless. French toast was soggy.

Enjoyed my waffle with real fresh blueberries. My husband enjoyed his eggs and hasbrowns. Not fancy, just homey with great service.

Great service from a lovely woman who I believe was the owner. We had the gyro and the Cobb salad- very filling and delicious. We were just passing through town but so glad we found this gem! read more
