Customer Review Summary
Reviewers repeatedly call the tapas the clear draw, naming dishes like Champiñones a la Crema con Ajo, Gambas al Ajillo, and Croquetas Cabrales with syrup. Most describe the food as quality and the service as friendly, with several returning families praising the atmosphere. One recent visitor, however, describes a rushed visit, rock-hard patatas fritas, and food debris on chairs and floors, breaking sharply with the otherwise glowing run.

“2019 - Fast service, tasty food, fantastic atmosphere 2026 - I’m really disappointed with my recent visit to Ole Ole in Lincoln. It used to be one of my favourite places, but unfortunately it no longer feels like the same restaurant. The great atmosphere seems to be gone, and the whole experience felt rushed. The food was also not as good as it used to be. The patatas fritas were rock hard and almost impossible to eat with a fork — they tasted as if they had been refried several times. What disappointed me most was the cleanliness. There was food all over the floor and on the chairs, which really took away from the overall experience. Such a shame, as I remember Ole Ole being a much nicer place. Sadly, this visit was just not great.”
