There is just something about NY and NJ diners. They're iconic. Great food, great service with a menu that has everything under the sun. The Olympic diner fits into this iconic category. When we arrived it was fairly crowded, but the dinning room was immense and we were seated immediately. Service was spot on with a waitress coming by and giving us our menus in short order. Busboy also came by our table when we were first seated to provide water.
Once we place our orders they came quickly. My wife loves Eggs Benedict and she was not disappointed with this serving. It was perfect. Tasty with delicious home fries. My order was Two eggs scrambled, bacon, home fries and rye toast. Either they added an extra egg to the order or the eggs were jumbo sized. An enormous serving. No complaints here! Bacon was super crispy. Loved it. Home fries? Same as my wife's...tasty. Usually the toast that comes with the meal is no big deal, however this was different. Don't know who they get their rye bread from, but i hope they never change brand/vendor. Nice tasting rye bread. Service was good as well. Our waitress checked in on us to make sure everything was ok and we didn't have to flag her down for coffee refills. Nice Art Deco design to the diner. The ambience was a nice added feature that complimented the whole meal.
Good food, generous servings, good service, extensive menu and a nice dining atmosphere. The Olympic Diner is a winner.

We have been coming to this diner for years and my family for years before that. This is one of the best diners in the area and one of the best that I’ve been to in Long Island. Several years back they renovated this location but kept all the old feel/taste. My favorite meal here is breakfast but the lunch & dinner are also good. No matter what meal you go for you will always come away happy and full. The portions are more than generous, always well prepared and the prices are super reasonable. My favorite is the French toast because they use fresh brioche bread which sucks up all the batter and makes such a soft & buttery toast. The home potatoes are also one of our favorites and they can make them extra crispy (crunchy but not burnt) which is so good. We also enjoy the various salads at lunch time, also very big portions but good. Service here is also pretty amazing. Always greeted with a warm smile and hello when we arrive. Usually there is no wait for seats but if there is the wait is usually not very long. Food comes out pretty fast and the waiters are always attending to you which is helpful. Most of the tables are set up for small groups (family of 4-6) but if you need a bigger area they can accommodate. As for the pastries, I’d say there is nothing overly amazing but they do everything well so you won’t be disappointed. One of the family favorites is the cheese cakes and milkshakes. Come support local businesses and come enjoy a hearty meal with your family and friends…highly recommend!

I've been dining at the Olympic Diner for over 30 years - the food and service has always been fine. However, last night me and my wife ordered full meals and we each ordered a cup of hot water. The bill came, and we were charged $3.50 each for the hot water. We questioned this charge and were told that it's a new policy and were asked if we wanted 2 tea bags to take home! Freakin' insane, charging for hot water? They don't charge for cold water . . . the manager thought he was doing us a favor and only charged us for one. If this is their new policy, it should be on the menu and the waiter/waitress should mention this upon ordering. This will be my last time dining at this establishment!
