\"Olympic<\/a>(As Americans have become meaner, ruder, and armed) I no longer enjoy\u00a0busy tourists areas, except in the off season, but I found myself in Lake Geneva, WI this week, as typical a tourist spot as any.<\/p>\n

Feeling a might peckish, I was scoping out restaurants by how much I liked their exterior vintage neons, and opted for the Olympic, right downtown, a couple blocks from the lake.<\/p>\n

It’s an old-timey coffee shop format, serving all three meals, with booths and tables. It’s also crowded, not with people, but with ‘stuff,’ and you’ll have to negotiate a path to the washrooms, for instance.<\/p>\n

They have a HUGE menu, with enough variety to easily please any diner, and simultaneously overwhelm any kitchen. In other words, the menu is so long that most places are going to have to look for short cuts, and in the case of my selection, the “Meat Lovers Burger,” \u00a0it meant going with food service ingredients instead of fresh, prepared, in-house grub.<\/p>\n

Yeah, I know, it’s a coffee shop. The burger came with fries (which were OK), and was around $10.50, adding cheese would slap on a buck.<\/p>\n

Didn’t eat much of it, didn’t take it to go, either. \u00a0Service was “OK,” \u00a0there was one young woman for the entire dining room when I arrived, and she seemed a little harried. \u00a0Ambiance is a-ok. \u00a0Bathrooms are fairly clean.<\/p>\n

Maybe I made a bad choice, maybe the kitchen was having an off day, but they weren’t very busy. There are sooooooooooooooo many options in Lake Geneva, for dining at all ends of the price spectrum. This is probably one you can skip.<\/p>\n

I rarely read other reviews, but I checked a few as I was writing this, and some make reference to it’s an excellent place to eat when you’re drunk. I’ll keep that in mind.<\/p>\n
