Olympia Coney Island, located at 14350 Harper Ave in Detroit, MI, boasts a rich history as a beloved American restaurant. However, recent reviews present a mixed bag of experiences that paint a snapshot of its current standing.
Customer feedback indicates some fluctuation in quality. Starletta Williams lamented a decline in food standards and called for attention from management, highlighting a once-loyal customer feeling let down. In contrast, Harry Gordon praised the pre-pandemic burger experience, complimenting the well-prepared, tasty offerings at an exceptional value. Ron Witherspoon echoed this sentiment, calling it the best five-dollar cheeseburger he's ever had.
Corned beef sandwiches are a standout, as noted by local favorite Shahbaz M., who reminisced about the special flavors reminiscent of his Detroit roots. His dedication is evident as he takes several sandwiches home with him. Keiera Womack also shared positivity, celebrating consistently hot meals post-church.
While Olympia Coney Island continues to serve classic American favorites, recent shifts suggest a need for the establishment to find its footing again. It remains a staple for Detroit locals, but revitalized attention to food quality could enhance its legacy.

I used to think they were the best Coney Island around. The quality of the food for the prices was phenomenal. Over the last few months I don't know if they changed cooks or not but the quality of your food is not as before. I have a Coney Island in walking distance and will not go there because this Coney Island stood out more and the prices was better not to mention. But now it's like they just throw whatever in a box and service to you. I do not like spending my money on food that's not edible and who got the time to go back and forth when you in a hurry. The owner needs to know the quality of the food is not the same. The upgrade on the building should not change the quality of the food as it did the prices. Sincerely I use to be loyal customer.

This was a pre pandemic burger. Well prepared hot and tasty. W/Fries &drink less than 10. I will make an effort to hit this place up soon.

I grew up in Detroit and every time I return to visit family I always stop at this Coney they have one of the best corned beef sandwiches in Detroit and I always buy at least 5 to take back home with me because you can only get a Coney island corned beef sandwich in the Detroit and surrounding areas. Outside of the corned beef sandwich that have a standard Coney menu I have been disappointed with anything at my wife's favorite it's a hot ham and cheese sandwich..

I recently stopped in for a couple of loose burgers. The order was filled quickly. And the food was terrific! The ground beef was seasoned very well, and the chili was perfect. One of the first things I noticed about Detroit after moving here from California is that Coney Island restaurants are everywhere. I get it now, and I will come back to Olympia Coney Island for more loose burgers. Highly recommended!
