Olympian Diner Restaurant - American restaurant in Braintree - 17 Hancock St, USA

Been trying the brunch places in Braintree so popped into this place on a Monday. It was busy but not crowded and we were seated right away. Staff were friendly and didn’t mind answering our questions. Prices were super affordable, the two of us eating for under 40 including tip. We ordered- French toast with bacon sausage and eggs- we would give that a 4.5 We also ordered the classic eggs Benedict and Portuguese sausage. I’d rate the Benedict good. It didn’t blow my mind but it was solid. The Portuguese sausage was a fun alternative to regular sausage. This meal also came with home fries/hash that was good but not crispy like I prefer. They also had Greek sausage as an option. We got an iced coffee and it comes in a tall glass and has me free refill. Overall a good place for brunch. They had a ton on the menu that looked good for lunch and dinner so I’d be interested to go back and try those there.

LOVE this place. Fabulous food, waitresses, cooks. Highly recommend. Everything is delicious. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert. They receive deliveries of fresh fish multiple times a day. Daily specials; homemade soups/chowder. Chicken stir fry is a special and is one of many items that are the best! Prices are reasonable. Clean. And the waitresses can’t do enough for you. And, they may share a joke or song with you. ❤️. If you go on a regular basis, you will see many of the same returning customers. 😁. Check them out! You will not be disappointed. Final note: They have the best light and fluffy pancakes around.

I could see that earlier in the morning it could be long waits, this place is a good ole fashion diner! Great servers, excellent prices and the food as if grandma was in the kitchen! We are only here for the weekend and may be back for all of our meals here. I’m sure they won’t know our names by then, but they knew a lot of people coming in the door by name!

Very busy place. Prices are great here. Very affordable. The servers are friendly and you can tell there are many regulars here. Food was good.

I had been coming to this place for 50 yrs. Sat down with older friend at counter, ask if he had watched state of union address. Haggard woman chose to berate us both for speaking politics. We were speaking to one another and no one else. She should mind her business. She slammed coffee down and told us we could not have that conversation or we could leave. I left. Me and about 20 customers, family and friends will enjoy Ashleys, four buildings down, from now on. Every bit as good and a better menu. Get rid of the woman with no respect for customers privacy, she is a detriment to friendly business. Have since heard this from many others.

Was craving fried seafood for awhile especially since my favorite spot for over 30 has now closed due to retirement. Did a Google search and this place have good reviews for their diner dishes But the pictures of the fried seafood platter did it for me. I had to try it (unfortunately, was informed that they don't have any whole bellies clam but just clam strips). This platter had 2 huge (probably U13/13-15) shrimps, 4 good sized sea scallops, 6 haddock pieces and a handful of clam strips and fries. Requested some onion rings along with my platter and it wasn't a problem. Everything tasted fresh and not greasy. I even ate the leftovers the next morning, cold...and it was quite delicious. BF got the Pastrami sandwich and I'd manage to get a bite before he inhaled the rest. It was also well made Annmarie was our server who did a good job checking on us and suggested dessert but we were too full since we had eaten birthday cake beforehand. Still thinking about that Fried Seafood platter.

An absolutely comfortable and welcoming diner. Great food, great service, great atmosphere. Has a very comfortable feeling, and the staff don't rush you when you're done.

This place makes a great omelet. The cheese is always distributed really well (nothing worse than an omelet with cheese on one side and fillings on the other). The service is good, prices are amazing. Cash only but they have an ATM. Classic dining setting. One of my favorite places to go.
