The food is cooked & made fresh. The seasoning on the food taste just like you cooked it at home
The extremely positive reviews for Olympic Steakhouse are puzzling to me. I stopped in on a Wednesday for lunch. As I entered there was no one to seat me and no sign, so I flagged down a waitress and got a table.
The restaurant looked decently clean, with somewhat outdated decor.
First time dining in and nothing was explained to me. I did not know rather to wait for a menu or go to the buffet. We sat there for 5 to 8 minutes with nothing more said to us than "what do you want to drink?" I asked for my ticket for the drinks and a man checked me out. He asked did we enjoy everything and I politely said no and he did not say another word. Very dissatisfied with that being our first time dining in.
The food quality was very low and it tasted cheap. Fish was good and so is the desserts, but everything else wasn't appealing. It didn't have the taste a "steak house" should have.
The salad bar looked okay, though I can't say for sure as I didn't try it. But the hot food bar leaves a lot to be desired. Fried chicken is pretty simple and universal, hard to mess up, so I started with that. Theirs has a heavy, somewhat strange breading that I didn't like at all. The mashed potatoes were very plain, and not fresh. The french fries tasted as though they had been fried in very old oil that needed to be thrown out, and they were obviously stale. Their pizza was clearly not baked long enough, as the mozzarella cheese was still in half-melted grains on top of the pizza. Weird. I could go on. They had something that looked like very thin steak on the bar. I tried it, and it had the flavor of beef jerky. Yuck. The corn tasted like freezer burn. I tried lots of different things, but mostly left them on the plate uneaten. Almost all were stale and unimpressive. Finally I moved to dessert, and tried a blueberry cobbler. Again, it was old, and had mostly dried up to the point that it tasted like jelly. The cakes and pies didn't look fresh so I passed them up. I was getting ready to leave when I decided to give it one more go with the baked chicken. It was actually delicious and seemed fresh. But for the most part, Olympic was a bust. It seems to have potential, but would benefit greatly from someone from the outside giving an honest critique of the food. I nominate this place for Restaurant Impossible. Would not return.
All I can say is,WOW on the selection and flavor, I mean where else can you get catfish, country fried steak, meatloaf, Salisbury steak, ham, three different types of chicken on a buffet, with a vegetable, salad, and dessert bar that is absolutely amazing for$6.99? The staff was just as pleasant as the food. Definitely on our top three coast to coast list. Will be visiting again, thanks for the great service Olympic staff
