I didn't want to write a review because I'm afraid that I'll never be able to book a table again! We went for a Sunday Roast today and it was OUTSTANDING; quite possibly the best roast dinner (out at a restaurant/pub) that I've had in the last 15 years of living in the UK. With such HUGE, decadent portions, I struggle to comprehend how they turn a profit! The vibe is cosy and friendly without being overbearing. Will return again and again!

Had the Sunday roast with friends and it was great. Good, home cooked food, tasty and lots of it. I will definitely be back and recommend.

If your after a great night out with great people, great atmosphere, great music and great drink selection then Olbys is for you, plus they stay open late, been there a few time and Halloween as well, was such a amazing night ?

Had Sunday roast and possibly the best we’ve had. It’s touted as “The best roast on the coast” and we’d have to agree. The portion sizes were epic, the calaloo mash was delicious. On our table we had the chicken, ribeye and butternut squash and all were fantastic. 100% recommend, we’ll definitely be back!Dietary restrictions: Good range of gluten free options

I am a lover of great taste and presentation when it comes to dining. Olby’s is second to none. Service is 10/10 and friendly. Atmosphere provided by brilliant interior design and soul-warming music brings me a feeling of calm and joy like nothing else. On a hard day it’s just what I need. That’s not even to mention the food! Unbeatable Jamaican Creole / Tex-Mex style dishes. True “Soul Food”. I recommend Olby’s Soul Café to everyone!!Vegetarian options: veggie, vegan, and gluten-free options a-plenty! And all easily as good as the rest

Can't comment on food, the performance venue has a good feel and a great atmosphere, drinks are averagely priced, sound system is pretty good, only niggle really is the accessibility isn't the best, the chairlift is useable but there are two steps inside the venue, on to access the dancefloor/front of stage area and one to access the rear platform, toilets are a little small too, basically if you have some mobility you can access this venue, otherwise it's a big no. The front bar toilets are also not accessible as they can only be accessed by a staircase.

Had Sunday lunch with my family. We all had the roasts (chicken, beef and vegetarian) and we all agreed that the food was delicious and lived up to its “best roast on the coast” accolade. We didn’t think we would be able to eat desserts too after the large portion roasts but we gave it a go ? and we ate every bit as it was delicious. Thank you Olby’s: great food, great service and great atmosphere. We will definitely be returning.
Still the best Sunday Roast in the area. Food and service were brill. Great atmosphere and value for money.

Another 2 wonderful Sunday Roasts enjoyed at Olby's, so much going on, on a massive plate of food. No trip to Margate is now complete without going here at least once. Staff always so warm and friendly. Highly recommended ??

Great authentic carribean food with a twist, always good music but service could be better...Do some brilliant comedy and music nights too..Definitely recommended.

Only used to come here for events for years but today I came for Sunday lunch and it was fantastic! So flavoursome and wicked roasties (crispy and not frozen!) All 3 meats beautifully tender and proper gravy! Service with a smile and very reasonably priced. Cannot wait to try more from the menu

Delicious sunday roast. Food was very tasty, we would definitely be back. The only issue was that our dinner was at 3pm on sunday during crazy heatwave. Restaurant is very hot inside. Would benefit from a ceiling fan at least…phew it was a challenge and everyone was using menus as fans lol
