Olympia Mesquite Grill - Cartersville

Not sure if the positive reviews here are real/true but I will go ahead and give you the truth about my experience.Place is always empty. Not sure how they stay open. First thing you notice driving by all the time. They will need to do better than putting a flag up on the building. Possibility business owners are first time business owners but like I said will need to do way BETTER!! OR GO OUT OF BUSINESS!!!When you go inside it is clean and has that certain look but I cant put my hand on what it is (Not really texas style in a way . The bar is too small and empty (diddnt feel welcoming either. This is really bad as this is one of the most important parts of a restaurant business!! When you go to the bathroom or really anywhere in the restaurant the lights are completely turned off (very dark , I believe this is what they do to save money as customers dont really come in to spend money. Penny pinchers The food was HORRIBLE!!!! My biscuits look like they just bought them at the store and put them in the microwave. Chicken I had was ok but still looked like thawed fast food. And they charge alot for the food when the quality isnt there (hahahahahahahahahaha get a new cook or ways of preparing food The customer service was ok. Waiter/hostess needs to do better to serve clients. Standing at the front all the time doesn't help the customer in any way.In general, people say that the location the restaurant is in is just a bad spot. Always has been for 20 years. Probably time to tear the place down and put a better business there.More than likely this place will not survive if they dont get people at the door. Business owners are first time business owners so this will be a good learning lesson for them that owning a business is not easy and its not for everybody (You actually have to put in work! Like I said don't just stand at the door all day. DO SOMETHING!! . Covid will also be another factor that will put this place out of business.I WILL NOT BE COMING BACK. BAD EXPERIENCE WITH THE FOOD AND CUSTOMER SERVICE. PLEASE BE WARNED BEFORE GOING TO EAT THERE. IF YOU DO EAT THERE DON'T HAVE HIGH EXPECTATIONS

Service was just ok, there was nobody in the establishment and was not busy, server/bartender was not very hospitable....nor friendly. Ruben sandwich was good,but strange to have that on a Tex-Mex menu. I go again just for the cold beer ?.

The Mexican street corn was delicious, as qere the Texas Twinkies. The steak and shrimp dinner was excellent. I look forward to going back.
