Olga's Diner
Olga's Diner is something of a landmark. It is located in Marlton, NJ, and if you are asking for directions in its vicinity, they will usually start with, "Well, you know where Olga's Diner is?" It has been around for as long as anyone can remember. Rumor has it that it is up for sale now, for $10 million. You wouldn't think it from looking at it, would you? Location, location.
Despite its history, Olga's is a pretty crappy place to eat. I think it is open 24 hours, at least - we used to go there late nights after getting out of work. I can't remember having one thing there that was decent. Apparently it used to be good, but has been declining for years.
Still, I will be sad to see it go.
Familiarity: I guess I've there between 10 and 20 times.
Rating: 
, just for sentimental value.
Coffee cups ratings are on a scale of 1 to 5: 5 is "excellent," and 1 is "you call this a diner!?!" Mike did the coffee cup illustrations, and I can safely say that any illustrations you see on this site will be his. I don't think the rest of us can draw - I know I can't.

I would like to know when the dinner was built and who owened it then I think I got drafted with the owners son in 1957.

Olga's is a 1960's Fodero Dining Car Company diner. It's been owned by the Stavros family.

I wish nothing bad on Stavros, but the fact it Olga's hasn't put out a good meal in about 25 years.
