I’ve been to Olympia’s several times and have always enjoyed the food. I ordered the smaller lasagna portion – it was definitely more than enough for a meal! Perhaps I’ll try the larger portion next time to get leftovers for lunch! I’ve also previously had the pizza – well cooked with plenty of toppings. It’s a smaller restaurant, which is nice if you want to have a conversation with a friend without lots of extra background noise. One thing to note – the interior is definitely getting worn out and the place does need a good cleaning, but the food continues to be good! – LL Tan on Olympia Diner

Manhattan Steak House has been around for many years and has always provided good value. Last night my wife had a shrimpa nd salmon plate while I had Louisianna Chicken. Both plates were $15.95 and came with the soup and salad bar. The waiter, Eric, was great as we hung around a long time and even though we had paid for our meal an hour before, kept on refilling our water glasses and coffee cups. – Philip Share on Manhattan Steak House

Great tasting food and huge portion sizes. I ate there with my boyfriend who ordered the hot turkey meal, for which he was given extra gravy, and said it was the best he’s had from a restaurant, then gobbled it all up. I ordered the mozza bacon burger, which was tied for the best I’ve had, and the portion was so big I could only eat half of it. I had the other half boxed up and took it home to eat later. We both got poutines, made with real cheese curds, and both that and the fries and gravy was very tasty. We ordered mozzarella sticks as an appetizer, which were very good, although the marinara sauce tasted just like tomato sauce out of a can. The food and service has greatly improved since the restaurant changed owners. The only real negative point was that it took 10 minutes for my boyfriend to get a refill on his coffee, though the diner was not very crowded. Would definitely recommend, and will visit again. – Rachel Salisbury on Country Grill

As a university student, pizza is an absolute necessity. Now, I’ve been to a lot of Pizza Delights in my life, but this particular one is one of the best. Not only is it located near campus, but the staff is incredibly nice and helpful. The waitresses have a nice sense of humor, and they make sure your experience is wonderful. It doesn’t take long to get seated at a table, but more importantly, it doesn’t take long to get your order! The food is delicious; the deserts, scrumptious! You need to order desert. The prices are good and affordable. Plus, they deliver! All in all, great restaurant. – Sylvie LeBlanc on Pizza Delight

This place is pricey, it is true. But holy smokes, it really is good food. I don’t think I can afford to go back but I wish I could! I had a french dip sandwich and it was so so so good. The meat was very tender, roast beef sliced thin with melted cheese on a homemade bun and with real french dip. The person I dined with had some sort of meatloaf which was also fantastic. Top quality food and prices to match. Unfortunately most people probably will not be willing to pay these prices and I fear it will go under. Hopefully they lower the prices, have some promos and get some people in there. If people just tasted the food and it was a bit lower in price I am sure it would be packed again. 🙂 – Jaselyn Beckman on Braxton’s Tap and Grill
