The look of the place has gone down over the years as well as the taste of the food. The burger I had was a bit flavorless and the Ollie famous fries did not have the seasoning that I grew to love.

Tasty food, although expensive for simple burgers and fries. Restaurant is somewhat disassembled at this point (antiques were auctioned off in December), and decor is dingy and worn. OPEN light is not on, presumably because it's been sold. I sort of wonder whether a few employees found some keys and are sneaking in to cook for cash while supplies remain and the new landlord hasn't chained the place shut.

They take cash, Zelle or Apple Cash now. The price is a bit steep for what you’re actually getting. The burger was mediocre at best for the price (43.33 for two burgers, fries and drinks) the fries tasted like old grease. I would have used salt or pepper but instead of shakers they had old styrofoam cups with tape for a lid so unsure where all the money is going too. Might get a better meal/deal at McDonalds.

The guy taking our order clearly didn’t want to be there. Milkshake machine was down. Food was fast for it to be made with fresh ingredients. No kid sized burger. Approximately $20 for a burger with fries. Prices online are our

This place is terrible. The total for 2 burgers 2 fries and a drink was almost $40, which happens to be cash only. Thankfully they have an ATM to charge an additional $1.50. The entire restaurant smelled like a dumpster. We should have guessed it was going to be complete trash due to the totally empty restaurant with a giant “no refunds” sign at the register. I wouldn’t even consider using this place as a bathroom it was so filthy. The burgers were undercooked and the fries were cold and stale. We left after two bites fearing food poisoning and hit the five guys down the road. Do not step foot in this dying excuse of a restaurant.

Burgers are thick and juicy and served with big smiles. Although the food is good, even better are the selection of retro toys for the kids to play with. Kids can go nuts playing while the adults can sit, relax and enjoy the huge hamburgers. Staff loves to join the children in their play making if the most fun atmosphere of anywhere in D.C.
Kid-friendliness: This restaurant caters to children with the vast selection of toys for them to play with. Like spending a day at Disney World. An unforgettable life-changing experinece.

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’s has been a staple for us over the years. I honestly can’t even remember when we started going here - it just seems like we always have. Anytime we find ourselves in DC for a Caps game or play, we always stop by Ollie’s. Unfortunately, it sounds like this location is closing in December and we are truly sad to say goodbye to our tradition of grabbing a meal here.While the decor and restaurant itself was quite kitschy and outdated, the food was always incredible.I really hope this restaurant finds a new home in the area.

I don’t see how the 5 star reviews can be real people. This is very rundown; it looks like it hasn’t been cleaned or repaired in years. Food was so so but not bad. Feels very

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.

Honestly, I was pretty skeptical about trying this place. I’m glad I took the chance. While the environment inside isn’t very appealing. The food was amazing. The Chicken Cheesesteak & fries were one of the best I’ve had. Definitely give this place a try. They also don’t accept card. Only cash lol.

Ordered food before realizing that it was cash only, not a huge deal but definitely annoying. The interior was absolutely filthy, in desperate need of an overhaul. Made me seriously question the cleanliness of the kitchen and had me very hesitant to eat my food. It tasted alright, but I couldn't bring myself to finish it because of how gross the inside was.
Ollie's Trolley is permanently closed ?
