Olympic Steak Pizza - Atoka

Went there today for seafood buffet night. Big mistake, I chose to skip salad and Went straight for the hot food. Well that was a joke, hot food..lol everything on the buffet except one item was cold. I got back to my table and bit into an onion ring and it was almost as cold as just coming out of the fridge. Everything that was fried was cold. There was supposed to be catfish on the buffet, but what was actually being served was whiting fish. I finally ended up asking our waitress if I could switch to just the salad bar, because everything was cold. She told me she could check on the food and I told her not to worry about it, I just wanted the salad bar. We'll I know you can't go wrong with their salad bar, I have had it several times. This time I decided I wanted the soup on the bar too, because it was potato soup. Well the soup was very runny, had no thickness at all. The soup was loaded with onions, and when I say loaded I mean there were at least 5 times more onions than there were potatoes. Another person in our party changed their buffet to the salad bar due to cold food also. And honestly, the food was only OK. I was very disappointed, because when I have been there and ordered food, the quality was much better.

The food is fantastic. While the buffet items don't seem to be made with quite as much care as the regular orders, they still surpass expectations. I tried the pizza buffet after enjoying their pizza from a regular order the week before, and I’ve also sampled a couple of other dishes. My wife had the calzone and absolutely loved it. The waitstaff is incredibly sweet and friendly. Prices are very reasonable, if not cheaper than I expected, to be honest. The place is clean and charming. While there’s nothing particularly remarkable about the atmosphere, it’s not needed—just good food and good people in our small town.

We visited the restaurant at around 11:30 AM on July 3rd, 2024. We chose the buffet, but it turned out to be quite dry, and there was barely any cobbler available. Our grandson ordered fish, which took an incredibly long time to arrive. When our waitress finally brought him his meal, we never saw her again to check on our table! We had brought family from out of town to dine with us, and we felt so embarrassed by the experience!

Today might have been an off day, but I suspect they were just short-staffed. It was Sunday after church, so the place was packed. Our party of four had a mixed experience: two of us received our meals promptly, while the other two had to wait over 20 minutes for theirs. Additionally, it took a long time to get the complimentary breadsticks. Our waitress was very sweet and clearly working hard, but I felt bad asking her for anything. To make matters worse, we had to deal with a couple of gnats and a fly while trying to enjoy our food. I think it would be beneficial for restaurants to use decorative fly and gnat traps that can be placed right on the tables. Overall, I’m not sure this location measures up to the one in Millington.

They never have seafood bar open. Pizza bar Mon-Thursday. So if you want the same peperoni mon-fri go here. Save your time and order in
