Looking for something quick in the neighborhood. It’s tucked away in an industrial park. Plenty of seating and the food came fast. The roast beef was excellent and the sandwich was huge for the price!

I’ve eaten roast beef at close to 50 places in Massachusetts and I can say that this is one of the best roast beef sandwiches I’ve ever had. Casual environment and friendly staff. Quick service and lots of parking.

Went here for the first time during a lunch break where I only get 30 minutes. Now the break was at 5:30pm, so it was no rush hour lunch time. I got a small italian and a fry. Ending up being a little over 10 bucks. Kinda pricey in my opinion, but I had my food in about 10 minutes. There was someone who called in ahead of me, then 2 people walked in right after I ordered. Food was great. No complaints. When you walk in I was greeted and when I left I was told to have a good day. Rarely find that type of stuff. For the service and quality of food, the price is fitting. If I didn’t have only 30 minutes I’d go here more often and try other stuff.

You can always judge a Greek Pizza joint by their steak tip dinner. There were three things I didn’t really like about this one. First, there was a ton of onion rings in this thing. I don’t even like onion rings. Second, the amount of meat was less than others that I have tried. Lastly, the Greek dressing was really thick, like mayo. This was not good since one of my favorite things to do is to pour that stuff on my meat and fries and it just doesn’t soak in when it has the consistency of mayo. On the bright side, the steak tips were cooked perfect and tasted great. The salad wasn’t bad either. I suggest at the very least, that they give up on the onion rings and provide at least one more steak tip.

I’ve been eating at Olympia once a week for about 2 years. It’s consistently good and the service is terrific. They have very affordable lunch specials, pizza, chicken fingers and roast beef. And portions are always generous. Their Chicken Kabob is one of my favorites, the salad is always fresh, I have yet to encounter brown lettuce or mushy tomatoes. But you can’t go wrong with the Roast Beef Special Large Beef and Fries and a drink for under $ 8. A nice touch is they always say goodbye to their guests, yelling from the kitchen, it’s a nice friendly gesture.

Got the roast beef luncheon special. Portion was large but beef was extremely dry. Place is not to clean either. I have had much better beef elsewhere. Probably will not return.

Got a roast beef sandwich to go — with everything. It was delicious — high quality roast beef on a tasty roll. Really fast service. I’ll be back if I’m in the area. People behind the counter all seemed really nice as well.

Pretty good lunch food. The atmosphere is open and basic, not totally clean — though the bathroom was good. The food came out quick, but they messed up my order a few times. I was underwhelmed.

Roast beef sammies are to DIE for! Went there for the first time this week and had to go back again 2 days later! I couldn’t even finish the medium. It was mouthwatering! They have some really good specials and the prices are excellent. So wicked friendly too. As soon as i walked in even the cook(maybe also the owner?) peeked over and said hello and when i was leaving he yelled thank you! Also, pizza by the slice available if you don’t want a whole one. It looked good! Sides are the usual: fries, onion rings, chips, mozzarella sticks etc. They have a cooler where you can get your drink from too. You can eat in here if you don’t want to get take out. Good sized dining area. I hardly had the time to sit down and look around too long because before you know it my food order was up. Maybe waited a minute! Tops!!! Seriously one of my go to lunch places when i’m at work now! So happy i found this gem! I wish i could give the roast beef 10 stars!

Loved their roast beef sandwich. Quick, clean, fast. Easy access off of 95 via exit 36. Had the large with provolone and horseradish.

Best Greek salad in town. Add the grilled chicken & it’s the best lunch in the area. I’ve been coming here 2 – 3 times a week for more than a year & have strayed a few times only to come back. Deano is the owner & has a type of «soup nazi» quality to him. It’s not uncommon to hear him light up one of his people during the lunch rush for making a mistake. If the line gets too deep he’ll shout at you from the kitchen to get your order started early. He demands perfection from his staff & the result is an incredible lunch.

Cheese steak sun was awesome. Staff super helpful and patient since I couldn’t decide what I wanted. Tons of meat and full of flavor. Looks just like the photo — which is rare with other places

Check out the reviews and you’ll realize that they are great and there is just one less-than-helpful review bringing down the average. Sorry you have a personal vendetta against the owner — all of the staff including the owner have been more than pleasant any time I’ve been in Olympia. If he makes ethnic jokes in good fun then he sounds like my kind of guy. On to the important part — the food. I can only speak for the Steak Bomb but it is top notch. So much so that I have had it 6 times in a row. Way better(and cheaper?) than DeAngelos. Yeah its in an industrial park but the inside is large, neat, and clean.

Love the lunch special — 2 slices and a drink $ 4.00. Decent & yummy pizza too.

I was initially reluctant to try this place because it doesn’t look that interesting from the outside, and The Sub Factory that was previously occupied the space was terrible. I decided to give it a try, liked it and came back a second time. Very solid quality and very nice, hard working employees. I had a great chicken parm pannini on homemade rosemary foccaccia that was fresh and very good. I’m glad I gave it a try, and will definitely be back.

I’ve been here a handful of times since I work not even a minute away and have been impressed with my choices each time. The turkey sub I ordered the first time had fresh veggies and delicious, moist turkey. I don’t believe it has made in house but it is good quality meat. The second time I was there, I had a large roast beef sandwich to truly test out the name(pizza might be the next!). The buttered bun was fresh and held up well to the close to a half pound of roast beef and again, sported fresh lettuce and tomato I was upset I forgot to add a sauce and I don’t believe they have a «special sauce» as some RB joints offer up but luckily I was able to locate some mayo packets in my office which complimented the sandwich well. The décor wasn’t changed from the old Sub Factory. The staff that I have come across are very friendly and accommodating. Tables have been clean even though the décor is a bit bland. I actually miss the flat screen, digital menus that were there when it was SF but the food quality continues to have me coming back for lunch during work. Bottom line, this place has solid grub. If you don’t want to venture into Woburn Center and instead, want a decent deli option off of Washington St, check it out some time. Olympia Ave is rather sleepy compared to it’s connecting street as long as you don’t mind some big rigs entering the area in the industrial parks. Easy to get in and out of and always ample parking.
