    We had dinner for my birthday. The fo'o and the service were great. Employees sang and wished me happy birthday. I ate a piece of tiramisu, my favorite cake. I would strongly recommend.

    As Italian I gave a go to spaghetti with salsa marinara and meatballs. I have to say that the taste of meatballs reminded me my nonna's one which I have not had since October last year. Very impressed. And staff was friendly too.

    We were seated immediately and each employee said to us, "Enjoy", as we passed them on the way to our table. Our server Jacquelyn D, was fabulous! She kept checking with us to see if we needed anything. When we realized how full we were, she brought us our to go boxes, and packed up our food for us❣ Excellent service! The 5 cheese sauce was delicious! We will definitely return to this location!

    Felt skimped when I received my meal. I paid for an adult entree and felt like I got kids portion. Once I moved the noodles to the side you can really see how little food I got. The manager was there and arrived asking how our food was when we got our salads but was no where to be found when I received my food or lack there of. Will not be back and will be telling friends and family to avoid this location.

    Food was ok, just like any other Olive Garden. The chicken and shrimp carbonara pasta was very bland. Fettuccine Alfredo was good Chicken parm was a bit grease Great location and great service.

    If I could give 10 stars I would. The customer service at this place is simply awesome. Last night our waiter ROMEO was great, from the moment we sat down until when we left he was very attentive such a fun personality made our experience a pleasant one. I hope management really recognizes the awesome customer service at this place I won't go to any other Olive Garden.

    A classic restaurant for a great family dinner! Olive Garden has always been our go-to Italian restaurant. 🇮🇹 We usually order the chicken Alfredo pasta, and we choose the endless salad and garlic bread. Their garlic bread speaks for itself. 🥖♥️ I loved the atmosphere of this branch. I did notice that they didn’t have any music playing which was different from other restaurants. I would probably suggest they do that just because people’s voices and utensil sounds were a little too loud. Some background music would help with that. Shout out to our waitress Juliza who was such a great and helpful server. 💯

    I always enjoy this location. Food comes fast and hot and drinks are awesome. My waitress and her coworkers treat you like royalty. Second visit, had a male waiter who was just as awesome 👍

    The Olive Garden is always great. This was the third time my wife and I celebrated our wedding anniversary there. This was our tenth, and it was, once again, a memorable experience.

    On Friday night I had date night with my son. We both thoroughly enjoyed our food. What made it even better was our waitress, Balou ( sorry if it's spelled wrong) Even though her section was extremely busy with big tales, she made sure we were taken care of. Just as if we were the only table she had. Thank you for such wonderful service and a wonderful experience!!

From 1 - 10 I will give 10♥️

    Our visit to Olive Garden left us with mixed feelings. Despite arriving to find more than half of the restaurant empty, we waited around 10 minutes for a server to approach our table, despite being assured upon seating that they would be right with us. Once we finally placed our orders, there was a noticeable delay in receiving our food. Even simple requests like straws were forgotten initially, and though we reminded them, it took another 10 minutes for them to be brought to our table, despite asking another server for assistance. Overall, the service fell short of expectations. As for the food, it was satisfactory but not outstanding. Parking proved to be another challenge, with limited availability. In summary, while Olive Garden met basic expectations, it lacked the exceptional service and experience we were hoping for.

    As a veteran, I truly appreciate what Olive Garden did for us! Me and two other veteran friends enjoyed prompt seating and our server was a sweetheart but overwhelmed by the Veterans Day special. We gave her grace as she did her absolute best with remembering our orders and was constantly replenishing our delicious, hot garlic bread and enriching salad. I so loved how everything in the salad was finely sliced giving each ingredient a chance to shine. Our entrees were free from a surprisingly good amount of choices, four altogether. We each ordered something different and I was blown away by the scrumptiousness of it all. It really tasted like they made it with love and appreciation for our service to our country. Nothing was dry or undercooked and flavored to perfection! I especially loved how the broccoli was tender and melted in my mouth. Thank you, Olive Garden, we felt loved and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

    We arrived with in 5 minutes we were seated. Are server Tomi was new but he did a great job. The food was ordered and it came out very quick and it was delicious. The manager walked the floor to ask if everything tasted good. I recommend anyone to come and enjoy

    Honestly this was the best experience I’ve had in a restaurant in a very long time. I’m pregnant and literally stayed up all night waiting for them to open. I got here the second it turned 11am and they were very welcoming. The GM was cheerful and super friendly. And my server Allison was very sweet, helpful and sooo soo attentive. And of course the food was fresh and delicious 😋. I couldn’t imagine ever going to another OG location after this experience. I wish this place the best of luck 🤗

    The customer service was amazing. We did spend ah lot of time waiting for things we asked for, reason I rated 4 Stars, but other then that the atmosphere and people were pretty enjoyable considering we've been isolated for ages. This was ah great spot to visit in the midst of ah pandemic! . . 𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗩𝗶𝗯𝗲𝘀 & 𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗲𝘀

    Nice place for Italian food. Pros-food tastes awesome, service speed is quick, most employees aren’t mean, place looks clean, restaurant is large. Cons-you have to wait sometimes, few employees are mean.

  • 1/5 Jose H. 1 year ago on Google
    I have come here for a few years! And sometimes I wonder how they hire people to do costumer service? Or do they even get training! How you going to serve a table! Bring drinks once and be there for almost an hour? Place was not even busy! Management really need to be aware of this! Left before we could wish happy birthday to a relative.

    Visited this location with my family to celebrate my late mother and her twin sister’s birthday. After have salad and appetizers, our entrees took forever to arrive. When it finally did arrive, everyone had an entree except the birthday girl. After informing the manager, he did not apologize or empathize, he simple told us to relax and her food would be right out. 20 minutes later we all finished our food and my aunt still had no food on her birthday. We found the manager again and expressed our disappointment at her being forgotten, I asked him how long would it be before she received her food. He told me he didn’t know “we have to cook it first”. I asked for my check to come out with the food (because we have been here since 6p and it was 8:15). It’s 9:05 and we are finally getting our checks. OUR SERVER WAS NICE BUT THE MANAGER IS RUDE AND NEVER APOLOGIZED FOR THE FAILURE OF SERVICE. I won’t be returning to this location.

    I was excited to go to Olive Garden when I realized they serve gluetin free pasta that can be substituted in many dishes. The food was tasty. Portion sizes are good except for the $6 to go meal that portion of pasta was a little less than regular dine in portion. The soups are delicious. Clean and pleasant atmosphere. The mens restroom could have been a little cleaner but all in all a great experience.

  • 2/5 Naithien D. 5 months ago on Google
    Horrible service. No wait to be seated, but good God, waited for refills, bread stocks, and salad refills for about 30 min cumulatively. They weren't busy, the waitress just didn't care. Watched the manager stroke his mustache more than 40 times and pick his nose at least 6 times during our visit. He just stood against the center counter thing, arms crossed, stroking his stache. It was weird. No interaction between him and the customers or staff. Pretty sad.

    I haven't been to Olive Garden in years & was pleasantly surprised that they were still fantastic. The breadsticks were delicious as always,salad couldn't stop eating. I can't remember the name of my soup but it was ground beef ,pasta & veg. So so good & finally Seafood Alfredo all great.

  • 4/5 Marion G. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was delicious. We had calamari and lasagna for lunch, both of which were excellent. However, I have NEVER been hustled through a meal so fast in my life! The lasagna arrived immediately after the calamari and was cold by the time we got to it. We were not offered dessert. When we commented on the speed of delivery, we were told that people having lunch wanted to eat and get back to work. I pointed out that three octogenarians are unlikely to be hurrying back to work. I would eat here again, but I would definitely NOT order anything before I wanted to eat it!

    My family and I had a wonderful experience. The restaurant helped make my 50th birthday celebration a memorable and enjoyable time. The staff was friendly, responsive, and accommodating. I would not hesitate to recommend eating here. When trying to accommodate a larger group, it is hard to make everything perfect. But they nailed it. As to why I gave 4 stars instead of 5 on the food. My herb grilled salmon was a little overdone. But, delicious nevertheless. I did not voice a complaint to the staff. Thank you to everyone

    Our server Aisha was fantastic, she kept us loaded up on food and drinks and made this fun family outing to celebrate an achievement so much gooder! We were full, but ordered dessert anyway.

  • 1/5 Tricia M. 11 months ago on Google
    We visited here for lunch while visiting my special needs sister. Our food was good, however our service was terrible. My daughter ordered all you can eat soup bread sticks and salad. Our waiter barely ever checked on our table.. my daughter barely got anything she ordered for a second time. My special needs sister was treated rudely. The waiter was not nice at all to her or us. We had to wait for drink refills, had to Hollar over to him multiple times to get service. Yet other tables near us seemed to be serviced better. I am extremely disappointed in our time spent here. Aside from the food being good, it was a terrible experience.

    My wife and I frequent this particular location a lot. We had dinner there tonight after finishing our holiday shopping. Our server was friendly at first. We gave her our drink and appetizer order. We specified how we wanted our salad, which was to have no black olives and extra peppers. The salad came with extra olives and barely any peppers. Now that may seem trivial but what if one of us had an allergy to the ingredient that we said that we did not want in the salad? But I just picked out the olives no big deal. We ordered our entree and that came out and we never saw our server again. She never checked on us. So I paid at the little computer on the table and another server gave us to go boxes. Whole time our server was up front laughing with the manager. My wife was upset and said that she needed to do her job. The server proceeded to disrespect my wife. That is completely unacceptable especially because that young woman was not doing her job.
