Recommend this place for their Gyros. Seriously good.

Yes, Olympia has good food, but it's not worth the trip for the really poor service. Wait staff tend not to be very friendly and once you have been served, don't expect them to c...

Great Gyros!! 6/3/2008

Great food, good prices. Good atmosphere, wooden floor, benches, and walls add to the warmth and comfort. It is a nice change of pace from the franchised restaurants. A great value! Pros: Great food, good price. Cons: parking is across the street, but not really an issue. more

Great food, ok service 3/11/2008

If you are looking for a good Greek salad or gyro in St. Louis, you wil find it here. If you are looking for someplace to get great food and great service, good luck. We eat here at least once a month and it is definitely a coin toss on the service. However, the food is always good. I've had better Greek food in Chicago, New York or Tampa, but this is consistently good Greek food for St. Louis. If you are looking for a relaxing place to eat dinner with the family or friends, this is it. If you are looking for a fancy night out, look elsewhere. As far as cleanliness, it wins! There have been other Greek Mom & Pop restaurants around the area that you just aren't sure, but this one meets the standards. Pros: Reasonably priced, consistently good food Cons: Not consistent service more

Not What I Expected! 3/10/2008

My mom got take out there for us recently. She said a lot of people were doing the same, but the lady taking the order wasn't very helpful when asked about the menu items, she was just trying to hurry her along. The pastitsio was very bland and one of the worst I've had. The spanakopita was okay tasting, but it's presentation was lacking. It looked like a huge brick of spinach pie and was on the soggy side. The taste was just okay. Finally, the galatobourako was just okay as well. My dad is from Greece, so needless to say, I've had my share of Greek food. You'd be much better off going to Apollonia. I think it's on Gravois. On the flipside, our take out experience there was much better. Every dish we had was great. more

not consistent 3/5/2008

I have been to this restraunt three times. My first experience was wonderful. Our waiter was efficient and very helpful as it was our first time there and we had never tried greek food. We got an array of things to try and had a great time. Drinks were good as well. My second experience was not so great. It was a date and they seemed short handed with their wait staff. The waitress we had was short with us and hardly waited on us. The food was still good. We were not asked if we wanted desert. Felt as if she was rushing us to get our table since they were busy. My third experience there got even worse. Once again they seemed short handed on their wait staff. It was a weekand night so of course the place was packed. It took a while to get a waiter. It seemed like forever before we got our food. The steak I ordered medium I got as almost well done. My margarita tasted like it was made with bad sweet and sour mix or something. Overall this place is just ok now to me. The food I would have to say is very good and I have never had to wait to be seated but service is lacking and yes there is a bit of a parking problem. Pros: food, decent menu, ambience, patio Cons: parking, service more

Tastless 10/8/2007

We had the sample platter, everything was bland and tasteless! The rice was cold and the musaka was the worst I have ever had. If you go there avoid the sample platter. more

Great Food, Great Drinks, Great Service 9/3/2007

This is one of my top restaurants in StL. The gyros ARE the best in town and you can't find better flaming cheese. The waiters are always delightful and prompt whether you come at lunch or dinner. The after dinner crowd is entertaining. This is a place where they treat you like a regular even if it's your first time. They have plenty of seating inside or on the patio. Pros: wonderful service and amazing food more

just plain bad 6/2/2007

our table was dirty when the host sat us and service was very bad. we waited almost 20 mins for a waiter and he was dirty too and very unfriendly. combo plate was microwaved and cold in the middle, food was unspaecatular, and sagniki that we heard such good things abuot was really greasy and rubbery and served on a dirty plate. we asked for another round of drinks that we didnt get. it took a long time for the check to come. pretty much worst experience ever in a stl restaurant. don't bother more

Excellent food 9/1/2006

Enjoy the food, building is something nice to look at. Excellent Flaming cheese... Can be loud. Have been there at times w/belly dancers. Makes for a very fun and interesting dinner. I think you should definitely give it a try. Became a favorite for my boyfriend and I. Enjoy Pros: Great Food, excellent parking (across the street - two parking lots) Cons: Can be loud, might have to wait for a table more
