Since moving to Calgary and working nearby this has been my go-to lunch time spot! The pasta is delicious, big portions. I've become addicted to the donairs, if you're in a rush at lunch these guys push through a line fast. Been surprised at the variety and quality of the buffet, didn't expect that from a quick serve place, restaurant quality. I don't typically leave reviews but after arriving near closing for a donair the guys were more than happy to make one for me as they cleaned, we had a good chat and laugh as the staff was enjoying themself, that was fantastic to see.

Very clean, bright atmosphere as well. It gets crowded and busy fast at lunch but most lines move fast.

Merci Beaucoup!!

Please stop serving Mediterranean food. The Falafel was awful. It dry and sour and COLD. I had asked them to heat it up well so it's not cold but that guy just didn't bother. Would never return again.

Southport location: cheap filling. My wrap was literally mostly lettuce with trace amounts of cheese, chicken, tomatoes and sandwich spread. My friend's food had a similar issue.

I love this place. Way better than Sunterra Market. Food is delicious, portion size for the price even better.

A wonderful place full of tasty foods that has exceptional service for the stressed downtown tower workers. Freshly made foods to your liking either a quick turnaround. My go to is the sandwiches, buffet and pasta.

Bustling and efficient food-court staple in the Calgary downtown core. Friendly staff and plenty of choices for all cravings and palates.

Disappointed by the recent rise in the price of tea from $2 including tax to $3 plus tax, that is over 50 % I believe. Tim H is now cheaper, it never was, but it is now.

Food is good and convenient. Don't bring your own container to the salad bar. They will charge you for your container plus theirs. What is usually my less than $5 breakfast cost me $2 more today because I thought I'd be sustainable and bring my own container.

I buy muffins all the time. I am soooo tired of the paper completely sticking on the bottom of the muffin. They say they try to use minimum spray so it is better for the customer but seriously why do we have to completely scrape the muffin off the paper. If I have to scrape off 1/4 of the muffin maybe only charge 25% less. I am so choked about this. I have complained about this before and they have once offered to reimburse anything for this. You have got to do a better job.

I recently dined at Olly Fresco’s, and I can’t say enough good things about this place. From the moment I walked in, the aroma of freshly baked bread and delicious ingredients filled the air, setting the stage for a fantastic meal.I opted for one of their signature sandwiches, the Turkey Avocado BLT, and it was a flavor explosion! The ingredients were incredibly fresh, and the combination of turkey, avocado, bacon, and lettuce was perfection. The bread was soft and slightly toasted, adding that extra crunch.Their salad bar offered a variety of options, and I was able to create a customized salad with my favorite ingredients. The quality of the vegetables was top-notch.The staff were friendly and efficient, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. The atmosphere was relaxed, making it a great spot for a quick lunch or a leisurely meal.Olly Fresco’s commitment to fresh, high-quality ingredients and their attention to detail in preparing each dish truly shines through. I highly recommend Olly Fresco’s to anyone looking for a delicious and healthy meal in the area. I’ll definitely be returning to try more of their menu offerings.

Be aware of cheaters at the payment counter. Paid in cash and the balance not returned , always a dollar missing. Never ever they give the receipt unless asked for . New staff new problems! Cheating , dishonest staff ! Never
