Always loved dining in Olive Garden Decatur because staffs are lovely and very accommodating. Recently dined in with a toddler and it was a great experience. They have this little tablet to keep toddler occupied while eating. Food is good. Overall great value for money. Will come back often

This a nice location to eat. Staff is nice, food is the usual fare etc. My beef (no pun intended) is with the "sliced grilled chicken" in the chicken Alfredo. It's NOT a chicken breast. It might be breast meat remnants or other white meat or it might be processed to appear like white meat but the consistency is that of a pressed patty and not a true unprocessed breast. They faked it pretty good but the texture is off.The flavor was fine but the texture was weird so went back and looked at the description on the menu and saw a non specific "sliced grilled chicken" and not "grilled chicken breast". I'll still eat here again but I'll order shrimp like I generally do.

Had an awesome meal there for 4th of July. Excellent staff, fast service, hot food, and very pleasant meal!

We drove over from Champaign this evening because our last dining experience with the Champaign Olive Garden was just awful! We're talking overly fried calamari that taste like rubber bands. Our appetizer consisted of burnt fried shrimp & vegetables, the soups were lukewarm and the main entree was not much better! So we drove down to Decatur, and our waitress Kat M. and the kitchen staff certainly made it worth the 40 minute drive! Kat was very personable, kind, attentive and just a wonderful waitress! Our appetizers were fried to perfection, our salad was crisp & delicious and our soups came out hot each round! Kudos to this location and their amazing staff! We WILL be back!

The lady that served us last night was very kind and caring. We are traveling from Michigan to Children’s Mercy in Kansas City for critical great grandson. We got there at 10:30p.m. Our food was delivered hot and fresh and she even made a fresh pot of coffee for us at that late time. Helped carry it out and offered prayers for our travels and baby. The manager was kind and helpful also.People like this give us hope for this world . Thank you. The Stewart’s from Ks

The food is always amazing of course. Very friendly staff from the time we’re greeted til the end. Also, great management and a good atmosphere for employees.

John B. was the best waiter I’ve ever had in my life. He was quick when we needed something, he was always making sure we had everything thing we needed, and the only bad part about this is that he can’t be the waiter that I have ever time I come here. Seriously give this man a raise, because whatever you’re giving him it’s not enough.

Food is yummy I think no need to review Olive Garden food.Very clean, interior is little bit dark.Staff is very friendly. I love the way they greet. The way they take care of customers.Person who served food to us was very sweet. She kept checking us every 5 minutes to take our inputs. She asked me if I need extra soup! Which is really nice.My daughter loves breadstick and she refilled those.Good place to eat food. Don’t forget to tip them because what you give is what you get. (Respect) ??

Nice place. Clean. Server Samuel E. was excellent. Hostess staff was OK, Hostess was good. Good food. Good atmospbere.

We dine here a lot. My grandson's favorite restaurant.. This was the worse food we have ever been served. Lettuce was wilted..breadsticks burned..hot donuts not done. I was compensated with a piece of cheesecake to take home. This was thoughtful gesture but did not make me feel better about a 100 check for below par food.Cathy Morrow-Downs
