    Celebrated a birthday here. Server was very nice and friendly she came by to ask if we needed anything. Great customer service.

    Ummm I its Olive Garden. So if you craving that salad you have to go to OG right? I had stuffed shells. I should have ordered a small side cup of marinara Sauce as it looked like there was sauce but it was a "drizzle" around the plate only. Was very cheesy which is why the need for marinara sauce to cut the richness. I could only eat two. The chocolate later cake there is very good with espresso.

    Food is so tasty. Try the chicken Margarita (lowest calories) shrimp Scampi is nice. Chicken tortellini is yummy 😋

    Our server, Jim was phenomenal ! I was hoping to find a more direct way to leave feedback so Corporate would definitely see it and recognize him and the other staff for being so sweet and full of smiles. We were so amazed and appreciated how patient, kind, easy to talk to and how helpful he was with my family and I. We enjoyed our experience largely because of him and how he took such great care- always Checking in on us and never felt like a burden. Will definetly come back and ask for Jim specifically !

    Came in we were in the lobby for about 10 minutes waiting to get seated . The wait wasn't the issue. The issue was that you would think they were busy when really they weren't. They had about 5 people in The bar area sitting down. They finally saw us and they gave me a attitude of contempt. And sat us un a handicap booth. I nicely asked to be moved and they said they didn't have another booth. The waiter came and I asked if they had another booth. And they actually did . And interesting they sat us in the booth the 5 people were sitting at . With covid it didn't even seemed clean . And the new waitress we got has treating us like we were nothing . Very upset with this restaurant . Other olive gardens have always been amazing .

    Service wland atmosphere was great. Food was good! We could only eat half of our alfredos and carbonaras because they are loaded with sauce and butter, otherwise great tasting food! Wish the breadsticks came with a butter or garlic dipping sauce!

    Very good chicken marsala!

  • 1/5 Nicole C. 2 years ago on Google
    Normally great service at other locations. Today was terrible service. I thought salad was unlimited, I guess not. Then got appetizer same time as meal. Hardly any sauce or mushrooms and server never came back to check on us not once. After 30 minutes I hit buzzer on table for server and waited another 10 minutes. Then took breadsticks and started taking food before to go box needed could even be asked. Won’t return.

  • 5/5 Maplewood V. 1 year ago on Google
    Love this location, the stuff always Greet & welcomes you at the door. I'm dined at others establishments and I sometimes have to wait to be seated. After being seated someone usually ask me what I or we would like to drink. After ordering food arrives quickly. The Quality of the food is excellent and the service is 5 stars I would recommend to friends family and even strangers to dine at this establishment.

  • 4/5 David O. 1 year ago on Google
    I thought the service was good considering it seemed to be a bit understaffed as many places are. The food was good and fresh on the bread, salad and soup. Pasta tasted great as well as the meatballs. Was this the best Italian food? No but the service for a five was great and they take reservations.

  • 5/5 Judy G. 3 years ago on Google
    Love their soup and salad lunches. Soo Good.

  • 3/5 Deann K. 3 years ago on Google
    For a family of 6, food was great!! On the downside, our server must have been a little off because she spilled some water on one of our cell phones, almost dropped a full dish of hot food on the table, forgot the extra salad dressing, had to ask 3x's for a simple btl of beer. Then she collided with a co-worker who had a tray of drinks that went crashing to the ground maybe 10 ft from us. Honestly, I didn't see it happen until seconds later! On the upswing, the cook made me a special dish that was taken off the menu yrs. ago and it was as delicious as I can remember. One tip...with the frigid temps. if you have to wait for your table (reservations or not), you CANNOT wait in the lobby due to Covid. I will still return for awesome salad, breadsticks and pasta.

  • 4/5 Craig S. 3 years ago on Google
    Always love this place but my son food was not the greatest this time around and our waitresses was not the best .

  • 2/5 Mark W. 3 years ago on Google
    Unfortunately, my last visit was not up to their normal standard. The food was good, as usual, but the service was very poor and they were not social distancing. We were there, on an off-hour, and there was only two parties on our section, and they seated us next to each other, where the tables were not six feet apart. I will not be returning until there is a vaccine, unless I hear they have addressed the social distancing issue.

  • 4/5 Gary F. 3 years ago on Google
    Very good, but could have had more alfredo sauce on both pastas.

  • 1/5 William L. 3 years ago on Google
    Order to go ask for extra breadsticks as they are my favorite and get less than the normal amount even. Seems legit probably didn't even read the request I would guess. Also extremely hard to eat pasta and soup without silverware.

  • 4/5 Shane E. 3 years ago on Google
    Best burger I've had in a while. Our waiter was pleasant. I wish I got his name. He went out of his way to serve us right before closing and the girl who made my milkshake gave me the extra. Bless you <3 I'll definitely return after Covid 19.

  • 5/5 Wendi 10 months ago on Google
    They have some of the best grilled salmon and broccoli out there. The salad is always great.

  • 5/5 Maria D. 5 months ago on Google
    Splitting a meal was perfect for us! Bottomless salad and bread sticks + splitting a spaghetti with meatballs was a perfect date night meal for two. Service was great. Price was right. "We should come here more often," we said. They even partitioned our split meal on the kitchen making it easy.

  • 1/5 Victoria 5 months ago on Google
    Our server was extremely slow. Took our server to know we were there 10 minutes of us sitting there. I asked for a Diet Coke and it took her 5 minutes to get it. I am in the food service myself and I would never abandon my customers the way she did. She lost her tip because of this.

  • 5/5 Robert L. 8 months ago on Google
    Today is Sunday, August 6th. We called in for a pickup delivery. I arrived a few minutes early and paid for my food while I waited by the bar area. The staff were extremely polite and professional, answered my questions, and apologized for having me wait despite that I was the one that arrived early. They offered my a free drink while I waited, I politely declined and then the general manager or supervisor sat down and we had a conversation around sports. The food arrived on time and my family had a wonderful Sunday dinner at home. Terrific service, wonderful food and overall and welcoming experience!

  • 5/5 Sonya G. 7 months ago on Google
    Great services for all of the staff. The bartender on Thursday was amazing I forgot her name she went above and beyond for me and my family Roberto helped us as well. One of the best general managers I know wasn't there on this day Mr G.John himself. I love this place I go maybe 3/4 times a month for dinner out. Thank you for great services 💯😊

  • 4/5 Lizmo S. 6 months ago on Google
    Service was quick and most of the food was delicious. We also got the 6 dollar to go entrees which were a great portion for the price. But, unfortunately the broccoli had way to much garlic and salty it was hard to eat.

  • 5/5 Liz 1 year ago on Google
    They always have very good service and food. Our server Jamie was above and beyond today. She was very attentive and would check in with us constantly. We were a big family with kids and she was very patient with us and understanding. Jamie made sure our food came out quickly with good quality. Thank you for the wonderful experience!

  • 4/5 rhoarep (. 11 months ago on Google
    Went with a party of eight. Our server was Cadance she was very friendly and really good at hearing us over other people in the restaurant. (it was really busy). I do not blame her for anything as she was way over worked. The whole dining experience took over two hours. We had to ask a couple times for soups and we didn’t get refills on drinks. But the poor girl was so over worked I don’t blame here. She did an amazing job with what she was dealt.

  • 3/5 Richard A. 9 months ago on Google
    Nice location. Food was on par with all my experience. They delivered me my wrong order but with a simple comment we got the right meal out in no time. Biggest complaint is the bathroom. Sticky stall doors. Abnormally smelly. 🤷🏼‍♂️

  • 2/5 Bryan L. 9 months ago on Google
    Food was terrible everyone ordered tour of Italy was cold. I had better frozen STOUFFERS meals. Now the service was top notch she was excellent with the kids played tic tack toe ect. Hence dint want to complain about the food. We expect a semi decent meal. This has not been the 1st time.

  • 5/5 Deborah C. 2 years ago on Google
    Lunch was great. They offer all you can eat Soup & Salad for $5.99. I had a delicious bowl of vegetable soup accompanied with a freshly Tossed Vegetable Salad. It was wonderful. The waitress was excellent! I plan on returning.

  • 1/5 Brian S. 1 year ago on Google
    Not what you would expect from Olive Garden. The salad is still good but the soup lacked flavor and the breadsticks tasted stale. If you are celebrating a birthday, make sure you get the online coupon otherwise this Olive Garden doesn’t recognize your Birthday.

  • 4/5 ViperIce 1 year ago on Google
    The first batch of breadsticks were too salty for me, but the bread itself was exquisite. The server was super quick and sweet. I had the spaghetti with sausage, and the sausage was pretty bland. Meat sauce was decent, and noodles were finely cooked. Overall decent experience, but not worth the price.

  • 5/5 Queen M. 1 year ago on Google
    Great Italian food ! My family always choose Olive Garden when they want pastas . The bread sticks are very warm and tasty . The soups are delicious! We always order fried lasagna for appetizer!!

  • 2/5 Angel W. 1 year ago on Google
    We ordered drinks and never got any straws. We asked him 4 times if we could have a straw before he brought any out. I ordered a margarita. The first one was amazing, the second one was watered down and tasteless. I ordered the endless soup and salad. I asked for a second soup and he never brought it out. The bread sticks were hot but very hard. The busboy was very helpful. He got another salad for my son and asked if he could get us anything else. At the end we asked for Togo cups for our drinks. Another server brought them out for us. We asked our server if we could get a refill for my other son but put it in a Togo cup. (His drink was empty) He charged us almost $5 for the refill. Then he never brought it out or the check. We were tired of Waiting so we paid on the kiosk thing and asked the girl up front if she could get my son's drink since I already paid for it.

  • 5/5 K V. 1 year ago on Google
    Our waitress was absolutely amazing! She was on point in every aspect. Her service communication, knowledge, respect and friendliness was genuine! Thank you for a great experience. I will say the restrooms could definitely use some more attention by more frequent checks.

  • 4/5 Алиса �. 1 year ago on Google
    I usually order salmon for myself, and it's on the broccoli menu, which is always undercooked, but I like salmon. Why don't they make a choice, I don't want broccoli. 11/06/22 Today I ordered salmon and it was much better and much bigger then previous time, but ordered the same, cooked well, not burn as it was previous time. I like it today more and very satisfied. Broccoli was the same uncooked.

  • 5/5 Aunya C. 1 year ago on Google
    Christina did a phenomenal job! Great customer service, always checked back to see if everything was okay. No hesitation whenever asked to grab something to make the dining experience better. I’ve had my fair share of Olive Garden experiences and this one was by far the best. Giving credit where it’s due. Thank you Christina!

  • 5/5 Lady Jane (Ms. B. 1 year ago on Google
    We ordered the chicken Alfredo and lasagna. Excellent alfredo. Just the way I like it saucy and creamy. I usually make it at home, but I was being lazy, and this was fantastic. I think the price is reasonable for the portion. I had leftover still which I think pasta always taste better the next day. I added chili pepper to mine. Our server was attentive and friendly and always a smile on his face.

    We came in nov 12th (my birthday) started off decent service, but by the end zulema I believe became very rude and short but thank the gods for Dj and the other Mexican guy what great guys they deserve a raise. Zulema on the other hand was just rude and wasn’t willing to take the time and listen and help us pay for our checks. Again Dj and the other guy saved the day hooray for those guys

    The food was good. The waitress was excellent. Fast service. The bread sticks were not as good as usual but the salad was great I would pass on the $5 take home meals as they were not good, they tasted old.

  • 5/5 Amanda S. 3 years ago on Google
    Ordered curbside to go, and it exceeded my expectations! The process was super easy, the person who answered the phone when I got there and the person who delivered the food was so courteous and nice. We ordered the soup, salad, and breadstick dinner portion, and it was so much food and packaged so well, and even warm still by the time we got home...delicious! It made a night in a little more special, and I would definitely do this again. Thank you for the awesome experience from beginning to end!

  • 4/5 Mike T. 3 years ago on Google
    Hit and miss sometimes, but it's a chain restaurant. Soup is great when it's warm, and the food is usually great. 5 star would be there if the prices weren't so high for a basic alfredo dish.

  • 1/5 Ramon M. 3 years ago on Google
    Was just there for lunch. Had coffee and Bayliss. Ordered the lunch special. Spaghetti angel hair pasta and salad. Salad was good. But, they brought me out a plate of ramen. With meat sauce. I thought maybe they could salvage it and cook it Alden tea? But they dint know what I was talking about. Two weeks ago it was perfect. Hit and miss. I was hungry.

  • 4/5 Melissa K. 3 years ago on Google
    Great service from DJ. Food was good and served quickly. Would have gotten 5 stars if they had had gluten free pasta. Had to change my order.

  • 4/5 Harold A. 3 years ago on Google
    Probably one of my favorites. I get the spaghetti with meat sauce because we can't make it at home (wife gets sick on spaghetti). We found a wonderful wine (Italia Roscato Rossa Dolce Sweet Red) she always gets the chicken parmesana. (2 pieces of chicken-eat one take the other home for lunch tomorrow). Of course the salad with house dressing & unlimited Hot Bread Sticks are to die for and our waiter(even though overwhelmed(they sat too many tables in his area) took wonderful care of us! We'll be back. Please try it for yourself!

  • 5/5 Dominic 3 years ago on Google
    Quality of service and attention to detail exceeded my expectations of take out food. Enjoy a robust Cabernet with the chicken and shrimp linguine.

  • 3/5 Kennedy P. 3 years ago on Google
    Amazing food but the atmosphere was awkward. There was a waiter (not ours) who actually ran - yes, ran - to the kitchen each time he went back there. We sat next to the kitchen so it was super uncomfortable having a wait staff running past you several times while you're eating.

  • 5/5 Carlos Roberto Ventura M. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Italian food place with very good dishes and variety ... a very nice and cozy atmosphere and style, they also offer a certain variety of alcoholic beverages.

    My family and I very much enjoyed our experience here today! Eli was our server and he was absolutely fantastic! He was polite, attentive and knowledgeable of the menu. You can tell he clearly loves what he does because he did a wonderful job of making us feel welcome and that our dining needs were met. He far exceeded any expectation! We will definitely be back for the delicious food and our new favorite server, Eli.

    Wait time was very long we had reservations for my nieces 13th bday no recognition of her bday was made we waited for a very long time before getting Acknowledged about refills, our food wasn't brought out for over 40 minutes, when we were boxing up our food our waitress threw away food we wanted to take home...

  • 2/5 S 3 years ago on Google
    Food was delicious. However, our service was beyond terrible. It took at least 15 minites for anyone to take our drink order and by the time the actual server (not the general manager) brought our drinks the ice was melted. When mentioned, the server shrugged her shoulders.
