It's a perfect diner, a great example of the trolley car diner with fun antiques. The burgers are fantastic, the staff is attentive and efficient and friendly. it's not a crisp, new replica of a vintage place- it is a vintage place so keep that in mind as you visit.

Been eating at Ollie's since '88 & the food is still delicious. The food is definitely worth the price tag I see everybody complaining about. Good food costs & they cook everything fresh. I am saddened that all the figurines & memorabilia is gone though other than that, still my favorite burger/crab cake spot in D.C
I need to start by saying that I am not a burgers person, but this place completely changed my mind. I read some of the reviews and decided to give it a try and I am so glad that I did. I enjoyed Ollie's original bacon and cheese burger. OMG it was so delicious and the fries were really good as well. We also order the chilly cheese hot dog and it was also super delicious. Everything tasted homemade. Don't expect a fancy place because it isn't, but it's definitely worth the stop. Enjoy!
Old school diner...
Had a great chicken cheese sub and Philly cheese steak with house fries.
Had one of the best strawberry shakes ever!
Speedy service too.
The burger and fries were both excellent. I like crispy fries and while these could have been slightly crispier, they were still really good. The fry seasoning was great. The pricing was high, but that is all of DC for you.
The biggest problem is the service. The person working the register was awful. Someone in front of me asked what sides they have. She just pointed to the sign with no verbal response. He then ordered a shake and she said we don't have any right now. No signs or other indication that they weren't available.
I was order #3. She eventually called order #2 and got rude and loud because no one picked it up. The person in front of me looked at me and said hey I think that is yours. So I went to check and sure enough it was. I told her I was number 3. She just said h I called the wrong number.
The food was solid. Probably the best burger and fries I had in DC. But if you are looking for efficient or friendly service, this is not the place.
Yep, cash only. Don't assume they have everything listed on the menu. (No crab cakes, rootbeer or bacon tonight.) Service started out not terribly friendly, but warmed up a bit by the end. We waited about 15 minutes for an order of 2 fish sandwiches, a veggie burger, 3 pops, and an order of fries. The food was very good, and a good amount, too, one fish fillet was split onto 2 buns.
We were in DC for the pro Israel rally. We came in to use the bathroom. We wanted purchase drinks of water in order to be a customer being that we are kosher and couldn’t eat the food. They are the nicest people who gave us the water. When we tried to pay they said , “No. it’s the least we can do!” Thank you It’s nice to experience when good trumps evil.
Ollie himself takes your order! Not the most personable guy but he's old and probably tired of everyone's $#!@. The food is absolutely delicious! We came yesterday for the 1st time and it was so good, we came back today. The fries are probably the best I've ever had. Try it...you won't be disappointed!!
Amazing food! I had a turkey burger with just provolone and house sauce, my father had the steak and cheese sub and we shared fries. We have no complaints on food! It was delicious, they give good portions and the fries have an amazing spice. The house sauce was super good, a bit tangy, can’t get enough of it. If I’m ever back in town I will definitely suggest this! And I suggest it to you to! Only complaint is the place needs some fixing up here and there. Besides that it is a clean, cute, quiet, tasty place!
The Ollieburger and french fries were great! Old fashioned style, and all the place looks very retro. I'm giving it 4 stars because they only take cash, however, they have ATMs inside the place in case you didn't bring any cash with you. Highly recommended! They also have a veggie burgers.
This place doesn’t look like much, but the food and service are great! The burger and fries were awesome. This is a great little stop and so much better and cheaper than many “cool” DC places.
