Olympia Kebob House and Taverna

It's my favorite Greek place I've had in St. Louis. We went for lunch, and it wasn't busy. The hummus was rich and creamy. I loved the Moussaka was very well done as well.

Olympia is a great spot if you need a lot of filling food for a good price. Their menu has a little bit of everything, but personally I really enjoyed the Moussaka, as well as the chicken kabob platter. Their food reminds me of a home cooked Mediterranean meal with portions to match. The outdoor patio area is perfect for cooler summer evenings. Inside is a little too cramped for me, so outside is your best bet. They have a dedicated parking lot if you’re visiting from outside the neighborhood. I believe they’re also on DoorDash, so don’t let traveling prevent you from trying them out.

Excellent authentic Greek food experience in St. Louis. Recommend the mezedes and local Olympia Blonde Ale on tap. Service was on point, friendly, and attentive. Would highly recommend for anyone!

Let me say, I was excited to try this place. The atmosphere was very nice, the bar is beautiful but it ends there. We were sat on the bar side. We waited a very long time just to get menus and water. This has nothing to do with being busy. There was only four other small parties dining. The greeter finally got our menu and waters. And after quite some time our server came over. We ordered right away. Again, we waited a very long time for our food. Our server never once came to check on us to see if we needed more water or anything else to drink. She brought our food out and had her thumb in my spouse’s salad. Again, she went MIA. We finally had to ask the greeter to get her so we could pay our bill. We paid her immediately because we feared she’d be gone a long while again. We paid via card and left her a $5 tip per her very poor service. Upon checking our card statement later we found that she added a 20% tip to our bill on top of the $5 we left her and AFTER we had signed the original receipt. This is stealing! We called to inform the manager and was told they will talk to her and we were reimbursed the $7 she stole from us. Plus the food was subpar, nothing special. We won’t be back. If you want great Greek food, atmosphere and excellent service go to Dado’s on Hampton.

Lovely inside, lovely people. The good, the bad and the ugly: Good: Avgolemono Soup, probably one of the most delicious soups ive ever had in my life. It was like lemon velvet. 🍋 Greek salad 🥗 with chicken, pretty good. Basic, what you expect. Lettuce, feta, chicken, green pepper, a few olives. Lamb gyro 🌯, it was okay. But just okay. Honestly slightly disappointed we were at a greek restaurant but the gyro was not so "greek". Very basic but not bad. Bad: the kids meal chicken strips were almost inedible because they were cooked so long they became hard as a rock. The rice.....wheres the flavor? Literally no seasonings or anything, just meh. The ugly: not the fault of the restaurant but traffic is LOUD and i mean really loud. It faces a busy street. The patio is nice if there's no traffic. People speed like crazy. Police should enforce.
