    When I worked in Bethesda, we used to go this joint at least once a week for lunch. It's pretty damn good, greasy fare. The Special steak and cheese is good and sloppy, and tastes great. Good fries, too.

    What a dump. No amount of perceived charm, accumulated grease, orange formica, or barely comprehensible conversation can make you forget how lousy the food is, limited the menu is, or how everything is coated in a film of bacon and oil. You have to ask for napkins, ask for plastic cutlery, ask for ketchup (which is warm - its kept next to the deep fryer), and dont get me started on the bathroom. I just hope there is soap in the dispenser where the kitchen staff go. Can i give it zero stars?

    Amazing family friendly diner in Chevy Chase. The chocolate pancakes are delicious. Excellent service and reasonable prices.

    This is NOT a coffee shop- so don't be too surprised. What is it? It's a counter-style diner that makes all the American classics (burgers, fries, dogs, grilled cheese, etc.) and their signature dish, the beef bulgogi. There are about ten tables inside, and large mirrors all over the walls. It was pretty busy when we were there, and the loudness wasn't helped by the staff screaming orders at eachother. The bulgogi tasted ok- it was soft and mild-flavored. Even the kimche it came with was toned-down to satisfy the American pallet. It wasn't the best, nor the worst I've ever had, but I left satisfied, until later that night when it gave me a horrific stomach ache. I have a pretty strong gut, so that was a surprise. The prices here are pretty good though, as you'll see other people mention. It's a very popular place in the area, and it's cheapness seems to be it's main attraction, considering the mediocre quality of the food. If you're in the area and need a quick bite, this place does the trick.

    The kids love it, generations have come and gone, they now accept credit cards (which is great), the food is VERY reasonably priced, their steak and cheese is divine, they are super friendly, they are kind to the elderly who come and go, they have a vast menu, they will stay open late for you if there's reason (end of season soccer team dinner), they are a staple of this community. No perceived charm says one reviewer? I'd hate to see what he perceives charm to be. Olympia exudes charm and the local community can't be happier.

    This is a medium-sized diner run by a Korean family that is super friendly. Its up in Chevy Chase Village, MD, so not on the beaten path but worth a trip on a weekend morning or lunchtime. Decor is basic and place is clean. This is not a place you are choosing for a "date". (Not open for dinner, anyway). They have very reasonably priced ice cream cones for kids, though not lots a flavors. The prices are low; you order at the counter and pick up your food. For breakfast, try the Bulgogi Omelet. It is fantastic. They also have pancakes, french toast, eggs and hash browns. And for lunch they have your typical sandwiches but also offer some Korean specialities. They make their own kimchi, which in my book is always a reason to go back.

    I LOVE Olympia! It's a secret gem in Chevy Chase that deserves props for their long standing greatness! Been going there since I was a pre-teen with my sister after school, and in 20 years it hasn't changed. I hope it never does! Awesome breakfast and lunch grub; you really can't go wrong with anything you order. Especially love their classics like chili dogs, BLTs and tuna salad sandwiches. Oh, and their fries are classic and greasy- just the way I like 'em! If you're looking for solid basic greasy-spoon food, this is the place. Food is really a 3-star, but they get the extra hit from me for long-time loyalty and love. Be ware that it can sometimes get a bit loud with lots of kids leaving school and young families in the afternoon.

    As Buck's Diner is to Silicon Valley, so the Olympia Cafe is to Chevy Chase. Except the Olympia has more Maseratis parked outside. Is that a couple of Bethesda private equity guys over there doing a deal? Do those guys from Fannie Mae a few miles down Connecticut think we can't hear them? Are those two clowns really going to start a company? Unlike the American Diner on Connecticut you are not going to read about this place in the Post. Too many middle school kids ordering ice creams or yard-men grabbing a sandwich, but go there a few times and pay attention and look around and say hello- and maybe you will get that seed funding you are looking for. But don't just go there for the clientele - go there for the basic diner offerings - with a few blue plate and Korean specials thrown in. My only complaint is that I wish they would change out the frying oil on a more frequent basis than once a decade. You must know three important things before you go there: 1. Never, ever, order from anywhere but the designated order spot along the bar. 2. Don't even try to get a breakfast item after 10.30 a.m. 3. Whatever you do - don't feed them after midnight.

    I hate reviewing Olympia because most people who don't live in Chevy Chase don't know it. But if you live here this place is all the rage. Come here Saturday morning or afternoon it's packed! They've been open since like...forever. They are the memory of all my childhood! Ordering $2 hot dogs, and $1 ice cream, and just hanging with friends this place is amazing. They do great business, Adoshi, one of the owners, and Anne, his wife, (I think). The place is family owned and they remember ALL the customers. Yea maybe Anne will constantly change the price of things, but this place is fantastic, weather it's trying to figure out if police are hunting for Anne, while she wears sun glasses, and hides behind the bar, (or maybe I'm just delusional) or searching for 85 cent cans of soda, in the back, or the hideous orange tables, the Olympia diner is like home for me:)

    Ok, well maybe this place only deserves three stars when it comes to cuisine, but this place is important to me. From riding my bike here as soon as my parents would let me, escaping for a lunch break from my job renting videos from next door, to playing video games in the arcade after high school days The Olympia Diner has been a mainstay of my formative years... I also make a point of visiting every time I'm home. While the place has had a major facelift-- and frankly I liked it's shitty old style more-- this place still does amazing business... Now that I'm all grown up, I think that Olympia's sustained business has more to do with horny contractors than the food-- they're all in love with Anne, the flirtatious proprietor-- but to discount the food would be a mistake. well, half a mistake. It's a dark and dingy greasy spoon... You'll get what you expect, but there's something to this place.

    Ive been going here since childhood, and the place has stayed the same, which is great. Cheap prices, quick and tasty food, and an authentic neighborhood feel keep me coming back to Olympia.

    I went back yesterday. Same thing: it is like pulling teeth to get silverware from these otherwise nice people; as for napkins, you had just as well ask for dollar bills. They are extremely tight with the napkins. Yesterday I was given exactly ONE paper napkin. I probably could have made an issue abd gotten two :-) but figured it was swimming upstream at that point. My message to the owner would be: give more napkins and include silverware with every order. That really isnt asking much, and would keep your customers from getting aggravated.Thanks

    Don't be fooled by the name "coffee shop." The Olympia offers a full breakfast and lunch menu, plus pastries, and a great selection of coffee. This place is a "must stop" for me whenever I visit Chevy Chase, and the prices can't be beat. The staff is friendly and welcoming, and there is always the feeling that everyone knows one another. I normally visit for breakfast, and it starts my day off with a great feeling. Give it a try and you won't be disappointed.

    I love Olympia aka Ann's Place! The American food is alright, but Ann's Bulgogi combo is excellent and at 6.95 is a pretty good value too. The Bulgulgi combo comes with kimchi and rice and if your friendly she'll even hook you up with extra rice and kimchi. The atmosphere is nothing to write home about, but it's what you would expect from a quick takeout/dinner type place. Ann is super friendly and she runs a good business.I highly recommend coming here for breakfast or getting the Bulgulgi lunch combo.

    This place is a neighborhood institution. I remember coming here as a kid and sitting at the counter and eating bulgogi for lunch. I went back the other day for the first time since then and it was just as good as I remembered. It's also really inexpensive and they have a ton of menu options. They still have the stools at the counter, like at an old soda fountain. The food is all good and the service is friendly. I'll be back!
