Olympia Restaurant

This is my favourite place in Bowmanville. Whenever I pass through I stop for lunch or breakfast. Large portions. Friendly staff and value for your money.

Fast service, attentive waitresses, excellent quality food. I've been eating here for decades. Highly recommend for breakfast or lunch.

Pictures are deceiving. Only redeeming quality was the service. Honestly, it seems like there was no love put into any of the food. I got the chocolate chip pancakes, and my partner got the eggs benny topped with tomatoes and asparagus. Eggs Benedict are different than what is displayed online. The sauce was pale, almost white, way too thick, and tasted pretty much like mayo. Not even close to the yellow colour and rich buttery flavour you'd expect to be standard. The tomatoes and asparagus were very overcooked to the point that they were mush. Potatoes were way too fried and tasted like nothing but old oil. This was odd considering we arrived a few minutes after opening. The pancakes were not great either. They were chewy, not fluffy, and the few chips in all 3 pancakes were concentrated in the center instead of being spread evenly. On top of this, I bit into a piece of bacon that was cooked into the pancake, lol. Price is not particularly attractive either as most items are above average compared to other local restaurants.

Lovely, cozy, tasty. Excellent service, great people, tasty food. We went in for breakfast, had a good time. Portions are big, prices are good, plenty of parking, and they keep your coffee or tea topped. Highly recommend for breakfast. Would go again for sure.

Always a great experience at Olympia, today was the exact same! Clubhouse was amazing, fries were piled high and the waitress was attentive and friendly. Old school style diner with good prices, definitely worth trying if you’re in the area.

The place has such a warm feeling that you want to keep going there everyday! A large variety of options in the menu. I had a hamburger and it was brilliant. Also tried the chicken Souvlaki, again, brilliant!

Hadn’t been since Covid hit and this was my weekly favorite lunch place for over ten years working in Bowmanville so it was a lovely treat with the whole family. Eggs Benedict with peameal bacon and home fries on the grill with onion - DELICIOUS, as always. Great coffee. Fast service. You know a restaurant is good when the waitress has been there for years and she is still smiling.

Great family owned diner! We’ve gone a couple of times now and have not been disappointed. Their portions are generous and the prices are very reasonable. The wait staff is friendly and the food comes out fairly quickly and made to order. The menu is extensive, so there’s plenty of options for whatever your craving may be. We will be back to try more items from their menu.
