"We have been here twice now and while they prepare a reasonably tasty gyro, it has been a 3-star experience for us both times. This is an eat-in or take-out place that serves Greek/Mediterranean fast-food of various kinds including pizzas, soups and salads. In particular we are always on the search for delicious gyros so this is why we have visited Olympus. I grew up eating what I consider to be the best gyros outside of Greece which are in NYC. Olympus makes chicken, pork, lamb or beef gyros with the requisite tzatziki sauce inside a pita. We each ordered a pork gyro. The meat was tender and flavorful but we were disappointed that the sandwich was not warm. It was nicely filled and the pork was flavorful but I think it would have been much more enjoyable had the meat been warm or hot even and then each bite of the cool tzatziki would do what it does best which is to provide a cool, herby, garlicky, delicious contrast. The pita itself could also have easily also been warmed up. Instead it seemed taken as is out of a wrapper. The French fries were cut big and thick and were just okay. This may sound overly picky but the cut of the fries was not right for this plate. I would have preferred a smaller, thinner cut fries. Perhaps if I was at a restaurant serving big cuts of steak these fries would have better fit the bill. These fries were pale and bland and needed salt and pepper to jazz them up. Another minute in the fryer might also have helped. During our first visit, we ordered the gyros with a Greek salad instead of the fries; this was the better choice. Olympus is staffed by extremely friendly staff. You order at the counter and your food is then brought to your table. You bus your own table when you 're done. There are no signs asking you to clear your table; it just seems like the right thing to do. But if cleaning up after yourself at a restaurant is not something you feel you should do, no one is going to stop you from leaving. We have been pleased to see how clean Olympus is kept although that said, I have not used the restroom. I hope it is as up to par as the rest of the place. It is bright and cheery inside and the prices are reasonable. We will definitely return and next time will try something other than the gyro. There are certainly quite a few things to choose from for a quick lunch or dinner. I suspect my rating will go up when trying other items as so many other reviewers have given Olympus 4 and 5 stars...I want to be clear this review is based just on my gyro experiences. I 'll update when I return for something else."
