Luv luv luv this place... the lamb fillets are to die for but then again all the food is amazing... staff are friendly and service fantastic... highly recommend it's a great place to meet up with friends and enjoyable everytime!!!
We celebrated our 33 wedding anniversary, a little late due to poor health, but we had a great meal each with very attentive staff. Well done everyone
We had a lovely dinner here. Meal servings were very generous and the staff were super friendly. I had the garfish and my husband the pasta. We also shared the arancini. We will definitely be back.
We had not been here for 15 years or so and, wow, what a change! An extensive menu, friendly staff, with full table service. The menu was a coeliac's dream, as we were advised anything not already available as a GF option could pretty much be converted. It was a very busy Easter Sunday but the meals arrived quickly and were delicious. Thank you - we will definitely be back very soon!
This pub is a Preston institution, has been renovated and is modern and comfortable internally. Also the facade has improved keeping its original look and loosing the flame/torch over front entrance.
Very welcoming and attentive staff the parma is well worth a try although, not being adventurous in an gastronomic sense.
The menu is extensive and I believe a great standard of food exists and must be maintained.
Preston deserves this place to kick goals because the facilities eg sports bar and function areas are exceptional. It is kid friendly with a great playground area and the drinks selection huge and I bet you will find your tonic.
The gnocchi was cooked perfectly, a brilliant meal. The veal schnitzel was great, a big, warm meal, just perfect. In fact all the meals are very good value for money. Gluten free meals are outstanding that is the reason why I come here. The salt and pepper calamari is amazing. And if you have a GF request the staff are very helpful.
The family celebrated my mother-in law's 94th birthday there today. All our meals were very generous in size and far better than expected. Deanna, our waitress, gave us excellent service, far more attentive than par. Congratulations all round.
Been to the Olympic about 3 times in the last couple of months and their parmas have not let me down! Since the renovations at the Olympic the meals are a lot nicer but would definitely recommend the Parma!Service is always friendly!
Dinned with the family over Xmas so it wasn't to busy we had 7 different mains most were ok but a little salty maybe it's all the cheese sauces, the lamb strips & Olympic burger stood out as the best
My husband just loves eye fillet steak and the menu at the Olympic offers this cut of meat in several ways. He ordered the Filetto di Manzo Alla Olympic at $34.90 which was tender eye fillet char-grilled cooked to your liking topped with four garlic prawns. It comes with veg or salad and he ordered veg which included delicious twice baked potatoes, baked half tomato and baked zucchini with mixed herbs. He is a very small eater (and quite fussy I might add) but he thoroughly enjoyed his meal, never left a thing and was totally satisfied. The sauce was a hollandaise (I think, I did not taste it) but it was worthy of mopping up with bread! One very satisfied customer.
Inconsistent. The service is almost always very, very good. Waiting staff are very friendly and we have never had to wait for very long for our meals to arrive. The atmosphere is typical pub-with-pokies, so you get a bit of the noise from the pokies in the dining area. I always order a steak and mostly it is very good, charred on the outside and pink in the middle but there have been a few occasions where I have asked for medium but the steak was very muscly and sinewy. One time I even sent it back to the kitchen to be done a little more. I'm not a fusspot and can enjoy medium-rare but the meat in these instances was really very underdone. Also, the Olympic Hotel is not very understanding if one of your dining group happens to have a disability. Overall the Olympic Hotel is okay and gets it right most of the time, but it can be inconsistent.

Gold medal in Olympic snobbery?. Ive had two parmas here, both times in the sportsbar. The first time was about 3 months ago and I was due for another crack on the Monday just gone. While I ate it and for the most part it did the job, I must admit it was quite bland which disappointed me as it looked tasty. It just had no real taste. Il probably try it again as I don't mind the place.
While I agree that the overall venue staff are generally good....I definitely have noticed I got treated nicer once I went there more and I got recognised.
The staff are fine, I can tell some of the bad reviews are from tightass food snobs going into the Olympic and expecting silver service. Mayb take the condescending tone out of your voice when you complain next time and you might get somewhere.
If I hear about the abscence of free bread rolls one more time I think il chuck up my schooner of Carlton draught, which incidentally will not be flat provided you buy it in the sportsbar and not the pokies/bistro. Serious.
Theres plenty of looked after drinkers at this pub and you will find the good stuff where they are, and for that Olympic I say good on you for not treating your sportsbar patrons like destitute lepers unlike a certain pub in Reservoir which shall remain nameless. Cheers and stay off the pokies kids
5 stars is not high enough a rating! Definitely need more!
Recently I had my engagement party here in the upstairs function rooms.
From just looking at the room and chatting to the function manager Adrian, you could tell how professional, genuine, easy going and willing he is to help make your night the best.
Adrian made the experience so much easier with his help and input on how things can look within the room and how the placement can open the room right up.
The staff who looked after us on the night done a phenomenal job and kept everything smooth sailing.
I couldn't of asked for such an easygoing night with such high quality staff to look after us all.
My Fiancé and I couldn't express our gratitude more towards them all.
Our guests commented on the room shocked at how damn good it looked.
The Olympic Hotel completely blew everyone away.
I highly recommend that you book here for functions and you will not regret it!
Second time at the Olympic for Friday night meal. So I guess that might be saying something. Pleasant staff and pretty big layout. Fairly roomy and plenty of screens if you want to checkout sports/events.
Started this evening shared entrée of the Lemon Pepper Calamari that we thought was pretty good. (Sorry no photos, were to hungry that night) Very nice taste and balance. Not chewy and flavours were good.
Main meals - Chicken Parma with salad and Chips. Porterhouse with Garlic Butter- salad and Chips.
Porter house was cooked as requested, Salad and Chips stock Pub. Taste for Porterhouse must have been good as it was polished off.
Chicken Parma was what I consider stock Pub size, and Salad and Chips same. Taste was good without been over the top.
Drinks - Lemon Lime and Bitters was in a very generous size glass that went down a treat. Corona was Corona-What can be said.
Overall good night out for a Pub meal in the North.
Excellent service, spacious and above average food.
Celebrated my daughters communion here in February and only have Amazing things to say about our experience.
Adrian went above and beyond to make everything perfect for our event and nothing was too much trouble.
The staff on the night were great and always within arms reach for anything we needed.
The food was exceptional all our guests commented on the abundance and quality of food.
Will not hesitate to celebrate our next events here.
Great place to watch sports. Food was good but not great. Always get well done steak even though I ordered medium rare. Clean toilets and good atmosphere.
A massive shout out to Adrian the function manager. We had the best time celebrating my partners 50th in the upstairs function room. The set up was great the food was amazing, the service from the staff friendly and professional. , I will definitely book another event . Thank you again
Three of us had seniors lunches here today. Food was very tasty and meals were very generous. Bistro was warm and comfortable on a cold Melb winter's day. The staff were caring and accommodating. Would recommend.
My partner and I had our engagement party at The Olympic Hotel recently and I 100% recommended having any event there for yourself.
We had the pleasure of having Adrian the event manager helping us with our special night and I’ll tell you he was amazing with every little thing we wanted! He catered to our needs and was so kind and genuine and whenever we wanted to come by and pay or set up he was always available for us. The whole set up was so stunning, we loved the fairy lights that was already set up which made the room look so good.
The food was honestly the best we’ve had from any venue party we’ve attended and had so so many compliments from our guests!
The staff on the night was honestly was so friendly and helped us with anything we needed.
My fiancé and I were extremely happy with how the night went and would definitely be booking again!!
