I do not seem to get orders right from this location. We tried curbside pick up and it’s truly a hit or miss (miss mostly). Orders were incomplete or severely late for last 3 times. There is always something missing including plastic ware , mint candies, napkins or simply an item from the order. When called manager is kind and quick to refund for missed items but that was not the point.I do not recommend this place for carry out.2 stars as we did have a good dine-in experience in the past.Will be trying another Olive Garden in nearby city.

Seeing the good reviews, I brought my little daughter over for dinner. I ordered a children's minced meat pasta for my kids and a chicken soup for myself. The chicken soup was so salty that I couldn't swallow it and had to serve it with some broccoli and bread. The kid didn't like her pasta either and just ate some free bread. I will never come here again!

Really liked the place! Had a weird smell inside the restaurant though, do not know what it was, but it was overpowering, just a faint smell.Service was great! We went there on a Saturday around 5:30 pm. Wait time was about 25 minutes. Mother’s Day was Sunday, so we celebrated a day early lol.Mana was our waitress and Kai brought our plates out. They were both excellent. Very friendly, professional, and helpful. We had a really good conversation with both of them when they had time of course.Food was delicious as usual, that is why we keep coming back. My wife asked for angle hair pasta instead of the regular (It was not an issue.) all the plates were well prepared, food quantity and quality were very good.

First time at this location, waiter was extremely friendly and helpful, I asked for my steak medium and got my first one more well done than anything and the waiter saw me cut it open and saw that it was overcooked and immediately went to get it fixed without me having to ask him!The soup was pretty good, I got the Zuppa Toscana, but all the soups looked good.All and all would recommend a friend

We utilize the curbside pickup that Olive Garden offers. We typically pick up from this location 1x a month. They always get the order correct according to the notes. They provide extra breadsticks (per our request), utensils, and Andes chocolates each time too. Our go-to dishes are the kid's pasta with meat sauce. Sometimes they are liberal with the meat sauce and other times it feels like they could've added more. It's always a hit though, my daughter eats her whole plate. She also gets fries as a side with her pasta. The fries are often soggy so we don't normally eat them. If we don't get the fries, we will get the extra side of spaghetti with marinara sauce, but they also offer grapes and broccoli. We also get the build your own pasta, usually with spaghetti or angel hair, and meat sauce. The side of soup is our choice instead of the salad. My husband eats the soup as his main dish actually and he loves it. The pick-up times are sometimes very long, and then it takes even longer once you check-in and are waiting. Other times, they bring out the food right away at the time it says it's going to be ready. It's really hit or miss. They are consistently good though, and the staff is always pleasant. ??

The seafood on the Alfredo was burned and shriveled. The breadsticks were hard as a rock. The service was wonderful but have never had their food be so awful. I love olive garden and was really looking forward to bringing my mom her favorite meal but this was a massive let down:-(:-(

Just wanted a howl of gnocchi soup and som breadsticks. Ate at the bar for quicker service (It was just me, and I was told it would be 20 min for a table. They did not use enough servers). The bar tender was friendly and kept me company during my meal.

You either love Olive Garden or not so much. We love it and make sure we don't go to often because it is easy to eat too much. They have a 5 dollar take home menu too.

First time at this location having dinner with the kids and let me say from the moment we walked in we were greeted by two friendly hosts. They had a waiting time of about 40 minutes which I think it’s pretty normal wait time. When we got our table our server Lori came and greeted as well super friendly. Lori went beyond the excellent service, she made us feel as if we were her guests at her home. And well the food had a better taste than other locations we had been. We all enjoyed our time there. Will definitely go back and be requesting to have Lori as our server again, this lady deserves more than 5stars she also deserves a raise too. If many restaurants had a Lori the experience would be amazing. Thank you Lori my kids and I appreciate you and we will be back soon!

We went there for lunch a day after Christmas. It was pretty busy but we had great experience. Food was amazing, hospitality was awesome. The manager was walking to everything single table and checked on every guest. Thank you
