This Olive Garden is wonderful. We always receive great service. The food is always hot and delicious. The minestrone soup is better than my grandmas. The water is always fresh and crisp. The breadsticks are what dreams are made of. I love you Olive Garden. We are sorry if the kids order was too complicated. You handled it well.

Our waiter Julio gave excellent service. This guy really went above and beyond. He was able to identify which bottle my mom ordered on her last visit. He also acknowledged my 4 year old and took her order while being both friendly and patient. Our food was delicious and drinks were always full. He even packaged our left overs to go. The level of attentiveness provided by our server significantly enhanced our dining experience.

SHOUT OUT TO GLEN FOR BEING THE BEST SERVER EVERRR
If management is reading this, this man deserves a raise and then some. He truly went above and beyond to make sure my friends and I experienced everything this place had to offer. His energy, kindness, and attention to detail made the whole experience even better. It’s rare to come across someone who genuinely cares about the people they’re helping, but he absolutely did. Because of him, this was one of the best experiences we’ve had here.

I came to this place for lunch and it was a great decision. I liked the chicken soup and the pasta. I would especially like to mention that we had a wonderful waitress. She is really great, she paid us enough attention and I am very satisfied with the service and communication with the girl. She made our lunch even more enjoyable. The food is delicious, the service is great. I definitely recommend visiting this place

The food was good, but for the never ending pasta bowl, I expected more. A refill on the pasta was maybe a cup of noodles and 1/3 cup of sauce. I was hoping to eat the food there and then leave but it was given to me in a to go box with hardly anything in it. I am disappointed that I paid that much for this little. Won’t be going back to that location.

We had a wonderful experience at Olive Garden!

The service personnel were very kind and polite, which made us feel truly welcome.

The Zuppa Toscana soup was absolutely delicious, and the fresh salad was just as good. We also ordered a chicken and shrimp carbonara, and it was amazing—creamy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked.

Everything was served hot and tasted homemade. I’ll definitely be coming back!

I’ll always be a fan of Olive Garden. I just enjoy myself every time I come here to eat. The service is always good and the restaurant doesn’t seem to change yearly so I won’t get any surprises from this restaurant which I appreciate sometimes. Overall, it’s a good restaurant with prices that don’t constantly change on you.

Don’t usually go to places like this, not sure when was the last time I went to Olive garden. I just know the bread sticks were lacking flavor, they were somewhat hard. The drinks were also lacking flavor. The food was too, I got the seafood fettuccine Alfredo and asked for grilled chicken. It tasted like cafeteria food, didn’t finish half of my plate. The place looks very outdated. I could say that service was really good. We asked for a well done 6oz steak and when it came it was medium rare, told the server and he had no issue getting us a new one. He kept checking up on us, He did his job with a good attitude.

First of all, our waiter was amazing. I wish I
Got his name. He was fun and energetic and very attentive. We never went without a refill of our drinks or our soup and salad. Our food was fantastic. Perfect temperature and delicious. The meatballs were huge. The shrimp and chicken carbonera was so good. We loved the whole night. We will be back soon.

I’ve had some disappointing experiences at this Olive Garden in the past, but my visit on Monday, September 29, 2025, was absolutely incredible. From the warm atmosphere to the fast, attentive service, everything exceeded my expectations.

Special thanks to Manager Angela and our servers Dalton and Clarissa, who went above and beyond to make the evening memorable. Their professionalism, kindness, and attentiveness completely turned around my impression of this location.

Because of them, I’m truly looking forward to coming back.
