We have gone back to dinner since we rated the restaurant 3 stars. I would like to say it was wonderful!! The food was fantastic! I had ravioli which was yummy! And my husband had lasagna which he loved and the salad was the best as always!! The service was perfect and our waiter Terry was the best! The wait was very short and the portions were large. Definitely deserved 5 stars!!!

My serves was horrible I had to ask my server for everything (breadstick, salad, refills etc.) he acted like he didn’t see me several times. I asked for a supervisor one never came I had to flag one down. My food was horrible which you can see in the pictures if I wanted just noodles I could have boiled some at home myself. I will probably never eat here again .

Started out as a great visit, got us right in and seated, our waitress was very nice and did a great job… then came my chicken alfredo with a side of hair… found a couple of hairs in my alfredo, been coming to this location for a while. Probably won’t come back.

We ate lunch here, our server was great, we got our food in a reasonable amount of time. It's what you've come to expect from Olive Garden. We'll come back, unlimited salad!

While there food is great, I find there menu to be stale. I haven't seen any new menu items in a while there. I also realize we are on the backend of a major pandemic so that could be why nothing new is added to their entree menu. However, I have frequented other restaurants and they have added new entree items to their menu. Even if it's for a limited time, at least spice up the menu. Also, there is maybe one or two beef items on the menu. I would like to see a larger selection of beef or pork items on the menu.

Even though it was late Mother's Day, they seated us right away. Food was great! You can get never ending soups for $5. I love their soup myself. But tonight we all got spaghetti ($12.50-$16). The smallest portion is the children's spaghetti ($6) with a meatball. It was all so good!

Poor service..... scratch that..... NO service. Wife and I walked in for a date night and was seated. Waited about ten minutes while multiple servers walked right by us....I know they saw us cause I purposely made eye contact with them. No one ever greeted us or even took a drink order. Meanwhile a gentleman who walked in was seated and a server immediately greeted him and took his drink order! And what was insulting about that the most was the gentleman was seated DIRECTLY ACROSS FROM US! And we were never aided so we left. Will not ever be back and will not recommend to anyone. Poor service deserves a poor review..... UPDATE..... Olive Garden reached out to me after this review and corrected this matter! I was pleased with the courteousness and speed in which they dealt with this. As a reflection of my appreciation to the guest relations department within the Olive Garden corporation, I’m updating my stars from one to four.

The food was delicious. I had the chicken and shrimp carbonara which was excellent. My wife had the chicken marsala but the sauce was too salty. You can't beat the never ending bread sticks and soup. I always have the chicken gnocchi soup which I love instead of salad. The staff is always friendly and attentive. They seemed short handed but Caleb made sure to always check on us. . For a nice family dinner, this is the place to go.

Ordered food but it didn't taste fresh, like it was on the warmer or reheated too many times. The soup was barely warm. Ordered Alfredo sauce to dip the bread. Over charge for the amount they give you. Check your food before you leave. If you order soup and salad, you only get one bowl of soup. If it's all you can eat in the restaurant, you should've at least give the customer two bowls! Use to be one of my favorite places to go. Not so sure anymore.
