    My boyfriend and I had a great time at Olive Garden yesterday. It was my first time (in a long time) going there. We started off with their complimentary breadsticks and a house salad. To be honest, that was the best Italian dressing I've ever had! We ordered two cocktails as well, Italian rum punch (on the left) and the spiked strawberry lemonade (on the right). They were delicious and surprisingly cheap (only $6)! We then had the stuffed ziti fritta as an appetizer. I had been wanting to try it for years. It was so delicious with maranara and alfredo sauce. For the entree I had the Asiago stuffed tortellini with grilled chicken. He had the tour of Italy (chicken parmesan, fettuccine alfredo, and lasagna). I swear his eyes lit up when he took that first bite of the chicken parmesan lol. He said it was the best one he's ever had. For dessert I got the chocolate brownie lasagna. That dessert was phenomenal! Eight layers of brownie and cream cheese!🤤 We're definitely going to be coming here a lot in the future!😄

    The food comes out hot and fresh in a timely manner. The only concern is they tell you it will be about thirty mins to an hour wait but then they message you within ten minutes so if you left you have to drive back quicker than expected. It is winter so burning gas for thirty mins to an hour in the car or drive to a near by shop since you can't wait inside. The staff is nice, knowledgeable, and helpful but it would be nice to be able to have a calamari main dish since It is the only thing I really eat from there. So I can enjoy the endless soup, salad, and breadsticks but aren't available for it. So it limits how often I go eat, I'd like a full meal not just the appetizer, so not sure why they don't offer the extras for a small fee for those that don't eat pasta. I'd give a higher rating if I didn't have to drive so far to get so little.

    Wonderful experience. Our waiter, Marco, was absolutely wonderful. We will be requesting him every time we go from now on. He was on spot with everything. Quick to get our order and bring our food. Checked on us often enough to make sure we had everything we needed but not so much as to bothersome. The food was awesome and the (adult) drinks perfect. We will definitely be back.

    Marco was an absolutely amazing server! We never had to ask for anything! He went above and beyond at all times to make sure we had everything we needed! He made our dinner a great meal! Marco even wrote a happy birthday on my son’s dessert! He is a rare find in the restaurant world! Thank you for a great experience!!

    The service was fast and professional. Jesse was our server and she was so pleasant and attentive. We did not have to ask for anything to be refilled or for our dishes to be cleared. Very satisfied and highly recommend! If you dine here, request Jesse for the best service!

    *update 9/30/23 got a carryout order and had a bad experience the salad had old spoiled banana peppers, the chicken scampi chicken was soggy with a weird breading and had no flavor and barley any sauce, also I requested silverware and was not given any silverware, mints or parmasen packages. If you can't dine I would avoid this location. We did a to go order in the food was not fresh. The breadsticks were hard no flavor not fresh at all. I called and the manager Mike was apologetic and willing to rectify the situation we may give them another chance.

    Went to restaurant on 8/29 at approximately 6 pm was seated in an area with other customers. Set for 20 minutes with waitress and waiter walking by. Not one ever stopped to welcome us or take our order. Was completely ignored. Others came and was waited on but not us. Very sad. We got up and left. Told the people out front what happened and never even got an apology. We like Olive Garden but will never return to that location. An apology would be nice.

    Olive Garden Salmon is always my go-to for a GF meal! Broccoli was a little under cooked; Hard and cold isn't my taste. But Billie was a great waitress! Very kind and charismatic! My friends & family also enjoyed their meals (I guess the chicken and gnocchi was delish!) Wait was also longer than anticipated with so many empty tables, can't say I won't be back, though!

  • 3/5 Chris B. 11 months ago on Google
    Definitely not the best Olive Garden I've visited. Took my mom there for Mothers Day. You have to place your order before they will bring out the bread which makes you wonder what has taken place in there for them to come up with such a stingy, bread is not free, show us the money rule! We both ordered an Alfredo with Chicken that you had to eat fast while it was still kinda warm. My beer was warmer than the food. I live close to this place and always see a lot of cars in the parking lot so we might have just come on a bad day, but I'll never know cause I don't plan to ever go back.

    Autumn G was my server and she was fantastic. She kept my drinks full and brought the food out quick. On top of that she was very friendly. Will definitely be coming back here soon

  • 5/5 Kit K. 11 months ago on Google
    Had dinner at this location tonight. The atmosphere was great! The vibe of the staff as a whole was refreshing! In an area of town where customer service is questionable most places it wowed us. The service was definitely review worthy! Every employee we encountered was friendly and helpful. Thank you for the job well done!

    All around great experience except for a problem paying with gift cards with the device on the table. Just let wait staff swipe the cards for the check.

    Hands down one of the best GM's for a restaurant. When approached with an issue she went above and beyond to make it right. I believe most would have brushed it off but she made it a point to call me personally and resolve the issue. Very much appreciated! So because of that, when I left the restaurant I would have given this store a 1 but because of her actions, you truly deserve another chance and a 5 star review.

    Marco, our server was the best! He was fast ND super personable. My 19 year old college student son was super happy that he was actually treated well and had a great experience at a restaurant. I guess typically staff at restaurants are not friendly to him probably because his age. But. We all really enjoyed our experience ❤️

  • 5/5 Jessie S. 1 year ago on Google
    Jerri was our waitress and she was an absolute joy! She did a fantastic job and the food was great! No complaints. We got about $200 worth of food and drinks and the entire experience was great! Good work team

    I came with my step son. He had the Shrimp Alfredo. I always eat the same thing. Love their Shrimp Frito? with a soup. Lady at the bar was very friendly and nice and stayed on top of things. She gave us great service.

  • 4/5 Karen H. 1 year ago on Google
    Wonderful dinner, great service! The salad did not disappoint. I had eggplant parm and it was fantastic and piping hot when they brought it out. The only downside was the breadsticks. Although tasty, they weren't soft and fresh. As they cooled down, they became almost hard like bread that was put in the microwave too long. But everything else was on point!

    Camie was our server and was awesome, the food ,the atmosphere the great visit with my best peeps what more can you ask for oh yeah the strawberry cake for an appetizer ♥️♥️

  • 5/5 Cassandra J. 1 year ago on Google
    Had a wonderful dining experience today. Our server, Kamilah was absolutely amazing. Impeccable service, food was fresh and delicious. Food was served timely, never had to ask for anything as Kamilah was on it with the best attitude that you rarely see anymore. That young lady is going places but in the meantime I am going to ask for her everytime we go to this Olive Garden! The hosts were also VERY good. Whatever staff was working Saturday 7.16.22 is your A team Olive Garden, take note!

    This place is always a 10/10 every time we're finally sitting down. The downside is always waiting 45+ minutes in line to get a table, but I guess that just goes to show you how good the food/service is once you're in.
