    Food was relatively good..however when we recieved our plates for the salad they were dirty and we had to get them replaced and on top of that we asked for lemonade and our cups were extremely dirty on the inside something brown was stuck to the walls of the inside of the cup...so we began to scrape along the wall of the cup and that brown stuff began floating in our drinks...so we asked for new drinks and the same thing happen...so we just got the drinks placed in to go cups...there furniture for seating is old and should be thrown out and replaced with new one's....our server was polite so we gave a 2.00 tip but he didnt pay attention to the dirty plates and cups that were brought out to us so that was disappointing..our first batch of breadsticks were very good however our 2nd batch was beyond salty.. The carpet had not been cleaned up from previous customers...all in all they need to be a whole lot cleaner...just filthy

    Went here and noticed that the silverware was dirty after we alerted our waiter of this she brought new silverware that was just as dirty as the previous silverware. Waiter and manager had a nasty attitude and when part of my party asked to cancel their orders because it had been 30 plus minutes since we ordered the waiter canceled everyone's food. I used to love Olive Garden but this by far was my worst experience at the restaurant.

    Would have been 5 stars however looking at a dirty table sit for 45min wasn't pleasant and I doubt the patrons they sat right next to it weren't happy either as they ate and left rather quickly . Also our first waitress was very forgetful and inattentive for example asked 3x for napkins and was served appetizers with no silverware or napkins had to get up and retrieve our own , there were a few other issues but didn't sour our mood as we were there for a birthday and they were kind enough to put our cake in the fridge while we ate. The food was great I had chicken and shrimp carbonara portion was huge especially after soup and bread sticks .over all great place will definitely go back as it's a favorit

    Excellent service. Our wait person was very attentive with the iced tea and soft drinks. The food was very good.. nice and hot and very tasty. First order of breadsticks was cold but the second was nice and hot. I was very pleased that this time the salad was not soaking in dressing! I also like their new method of paying at the table. Quick and easy. I have to say I enjoyed going to this OG rather than the one in Clovis.

    We were here to celebrate a birthday so there was several people in our group. When we were seated we were asked how we wanted the checks split up. Thinking this would be great; not having to worry about who got what and is ol' tight wad over there paying his fair share it's all done for us. But, in reality, they didn't separate the bill at all. The service itself wasn't terrible but it took way too long to get our drinks, and therefore it was a while before they took the meal order.

    Nearly exploded from happiness when I went here. This place gets extra points from me because Leo works there and Leo is a cool dude. But seriously. Laid-back and patient employees. Clean and crisp environment. Free water. With the free water, I got free breadsticks. The man refilled my water 3 times with a smile on his face. Bathroom isn't nasty. Would come back for more free water and toasted ravioli. Please hire me Olive Garden. 😘🥰👀

    Had dinner with my wife and daughter. We all enjoyed our food. The best part of our experience was Vanessa our server. She was amazing. She was one step a head of us. So many time recently our service experience has been horrible. Night Vanessa helped give us hope there is still good people that provide good service. Management please take note and make sure you do what it takes to keep this young lady Vanessa. She is a huge asset to your establishment.

    Holy Jesus I don’t think words can describe how good the services/food was. The server was a very friendly lady named “Jenna” who was extremely nice to my whole family. The food was also perfect as showed in the picture, the seats were a little scuffed up but not bad, the bathrooms were fairly clean as well.

    Good food as always. Wife and I goes there for date night sometimes. Depending on the cooks sometimes food comes out perfect and delicious but this visit was different the food was all overly salted. Seating was pretty fast but our waitress wasn't as great slow and always forgetting our stuff we ask for and doesn't really wait on our table that great needed a refill she never came so another guy brought me one. But all and all still pretty good. Had to add our drinks from the bar was not on point like always, it was watered down and tasteless. When we get a shot of Armaretto it is a full shot now half filled. Really weird how would u charge more for the drink but serve half of what was supposed to be served more for less quality on a drink.

    Ky was our server. She was great: attentive, quick, polite, professional, and with a great smile. Food was delivered in a timely manner, hot and tasty. Margaritas were awesome. It was a very pleasurable experience. Thank you Ky!

    Ella was thee best waitress she was patient and nice and helpful and made sure me and my family was well taken care of. She even noticed it was my daughter's 16th Birthday 🎂 and had her co workers come sing for her and got her a free cake. The lady's in the front was welcoming as well and the food was delicious and came out in a timely matter. Thanks for the great experience.

    We've eaten at many Olive Gardens in the past, and most are the same. Decent food, decent service, not cheap. I wish I'd have gotten the name of the server. A few arm tattoos. A really nice guy. He went on a mandatory break, so another server took over. My grandson and I ordered the Chicken Alfredo. There's no doubt that what I make at home was much better, and I'm not much of a cook. There wasn't nearly enough sauce, and it just seemed sticky. The flavor was nothing special. The fried chicken in it was good but, again, nothing special. My wife asked for a second bowl of minestrone. We were informed that it would take a couple of minutes (more like ten). Do they stop making soup at 6:30 pm? It was just an overpriced, ok dinner, at best.

    Olive Garden never disappoints. However, this night, when we went, they were out of a lot of items, and portions were small compared to what we've had served normally. Food is always delicious, and flavor is on point.

    By far the best dinner I’ve had in a while, and majority of that was because of the great service! Bri our server took care of us tonight provided us with top service. She made sure everything even the littlest things were to our want so we could actual enjoy everything. She had great recommendations and even at that she was so funny and sweet it made everything feel like we were dining with a close friend. I’ll definitely be back!! :)

    Waitress was not good. Mom ordered spinach dip came back to tell her they were out. I ordered chicken Alfredo with grilled chicken got crispy. Husband ordered his meal with broccoli and it was on my plate not his. Mom had to order gluten free and waitress tried to pull up menu on tablet. Asked for paper and there was none. Another waitress mention a soup and salad. So mom ordered that and soup came. We were waiting for our food and thought hey she was supposed to get a salad and we never got our bread or salad after being there 35 minutes. I had to wave our waitress to ask where her salad was. She brought out a bowl. 5 minutes later brought us our plates. Came back and repeated our order. Time passed and waitress came stood there looking at us and said um let me go check on you food. Walked away and i called her back to ask for bread. When she brought back bread I had to ask for more salad. Never asked if we wanted more drinks. Got there 6:30ish and left a little before 9. So disappointed that we will not return or recommend this one to anyone.

    My favorite location to go to! The wait isn’t as long as the other location and the servers are super friendly. The food is delicious. I love the chicken gnocchi soup.

  • 5/5 Anthony C. 1 year ago on Google
    There was about a 30 minute wait because it was busy but well worth the wait. The appetizers are delicious. My steak was cooked to perfection. The spaghetti and fettuccine alfredo was great. I plan on going back soon.

    Very nice food came out fast and hot ,fast seating (was a weekday)server was very pleasant and attentive not sure how service is on weekend but our experience was great for my sons 17th bday

  • 4/5 Jana W. 1 year ago on Google
    Really great late lunch the other day. Food was great, service was great, drinks were really good! It seemed like they were out of a few items, upsetting but not tragic. The only really frustrating thing was they were having an issue with our bill... we had started at the bar then moved to a table and the drinks didn't transfer and they couldn't find them. The thing that was upsetting was it took them 20 minutes to come tell us. We were just sitting there not knowing☹️

    Our family was having lunch & the vibe from this young waitress wasn’t very hospitable. We had to ask for refills, anything you asked was great inconvenience. When it came down getting containers to go were very small boxes. Waitress became very annoyed when asking bigger boxes when we had plates full of food & took our salad when we were planning to take it. Very fake waitress who was all about appearance with long nails wanting to do the minimum.

    For me, as always, beside wanting to be satisfied with my dining experience, is the experience I have with staff. As, I was by myself, I sat at the bar and was served by Gracie. She was what you want from anyone you put your care into, kind, helpful, accommodating, vigilant and caring. And, as I had the unlimited Salad, Breadsticks and Soup, I and my body were happy with everything. This is my second visit to Olive Garden after some 4 or 5 years and I will go back. You can’t go wrong with Gracie taking care of you! 😊

    Love the all you can eat salad and soup, and never ending pasta!!!

  • 5/5 Madi L. 2 years ago on Google
    Had dinner tonight and I have to say I was very pleased. Last time our visit was close to terrible but this time was different. I think it depends on the server you get. Our server (Hayley) was very knowledgeable of the menu and helped a lot with my husband who is a vegetarian. Offered a variety of plates for him (I was shocked). She recommended appetizers, drinks, and even dessert. Food was nice and warm salad was SO fresh 10/10.

    It was OK, my broccoli 🥦 was cold. Got a new batch once I was done eating my salmon🙄 was redeemed with a to-go soup cup size of the chocolates😁

  • 4/5 Candi 2 years ago on Google
    We had pasta, ravioli, lasagna, and pizza from the kids menu. You can eat all salada and bread you want. This time I took home a pasta plate for $5 (it's a small plate but still worth)

    We always love Olive Garden. It's such a nice experience. We love the take home one entree per $5!
