Julia FirenzSeptember 1, 2013They have a secret menu in which you can order fried chicken (not on the menu!). A breast is $4 and all other pieces are $3 --- takes 20 min to fry.
Jessica SmithJanuary 6, 2014Super cutesy and old timey feeling. good job on what they do as well: good coffee, waffles and eggs , fresh squeezed oj and real maple syrup. 50's era waitresses and sooo nice- they'll call u baby!
K.C. MurphySeptember 8, 2017This place is the best. In the year 2018, the only person who can call me honey, sweetie, and darling within 1 minute of meeting them and have it be endearing is everyone at Ole's. SO GREAT.
Pj.paujakieJuly 12, 2021Ole’s, always a good option to go and enjoy a delicious waffle, I recommend to you the waffle with fresh strawberries and a vanilla milkshake, u are going to love it!!!
Brian StraussSeptember 1, 2017Great waffle combos. Efficient service. Awesome scene at the counter watching all the cooks sling the hash. A weekday visit will see no line.
Ellen McGrodyJune 1, 2015Lovely little breakfast spot that's been here for nearly a century! It's super cute, the waffles are bigger than your face, the staff is friendly. It's very Alameda.
ScottySauceAugust 17, 2011Best ham steak I have hadAwesome prices and they hook you up with the grubBest waffle I have had and you must try it with pecansHuge- fresh eggsYou must eat here at least once in your lifetime- medvedevAugust 4, 2018The waffle with strawberries was delicious and the fried chicken legs with mashed potatoes very crispy.
LeVan GreeneDecember 12, 2017Great local spot in Alameda for breakfast the pancakes I had melt in your mouth delicious.
Emily HinesJune 21, 2016I was not as impressed as all the reviews made me believe I would be. The waffles were thin for my liking but the blueberry spread on top is a must!
Babette CantonAugust 30, 2013They gave me a choice of fresh or canned strawberries, both of which I like. Not even Ihop offers that. And the syrup on the waffle was heavenly.
Arthur MitchellDecember 22, 2018I love the breakfast sandwich and the waffles! My go to spot in Alameda. Way better than Jim's.
Michael FlemingFebruary 22, 2018Tremendously average diner fare. The neon sign out front and counter are nice period originals. Staff is efficient and friendly.
Sealli MoyendaSeptember 2, 2014It serves what I like and the atmosphere is friendly. The biggest plus is knowing the staff and really feeling at home.
Tricia SelvaMay 4, 2012I love this place! The pancakes are wonderful and they use thick cut bacon. If you like biscuits and gravy, they are to die for.
Russell LSeptember 27, 2015Nice round fluffy waffles. Omelettes are huge. And now they have seating behind the kitchen!
Jeff KovaJanuary 6, 2013The basics are great at this place. Burgers, BLTs and such are great! Amazingly, no cole slaw as a side, though. :/- Sallye CunninghamNovember 14, 2012Best place for waffles, eggs, pancakes, and absolutly great service. Don't let the line out front fool you...
- Kurious LeeDecember 2, 2014Breakfast selection is old school so is the atmosphere, I loved it bcoz I'm old school!
Eriks StralsJanuary 7, 2017The tri tip dip is 3 out of 5. Not the best, but still alright. Ask for curly fries instead of fries, they are great.
Alicia JollyJuly 24, 2013Great diner food! It's so hard to find shredded potato hash browns these days but they have them here!
- When they're in season, they have pumpkin pancakes that come served with cinnamon butter and they are AWESOME.
"Big Trav" Da ComicNovember 17, 2012OLIES IS THE BEST... PLUS MY MOMMA IS THE WAITRESS DOLORES "ALAMEDA" JEANPIERRE :) BKA FLOWER LADY :)
If you are a table for one, skip the line and grab a seat at the bar.
🌺Tanaya(TeeTee) Wright🌹December 10, 2012I hear nothing but good stuff about this place. I WILL be trying the food in the very, very, very, near future *^▁^*
Michi BrandtMarch 21, 2015Poor service. Maybe a bad morning, but for having a line out the door you'd think it'd be better. Coffee tasted like hot water. Bacon is excellent. pancakes fluffy. But over all experience was awful
Brian TanSeptember 25, 2010There is usually a line for a table...but you can always sneak in and grab a seat at the counter!
- Brian TanSeptember 25, 2010They have specials on the board as you walk in. Often times there are items here that are not on the menu!
A shake pretty much goes with everything. Smooth, rich and cool.

"Great little "hole in the wall". Lots of seniors but that's a good thing because it means it's been around a long time. I have only had the breakfast but it was great. Reasonably price."
