Food was hot… literally the ONLY good thing about the meal this evening. Two people in our party had time to use the bathroom before we even had our drink orders taken. There were maybe a dozen cars in the parking lot - they weren’t busy. Had a whopping FOUR breadsticks for three people dining. Never had a refill. Salad came out about one whole minute before the food came out. They SHUT THE DRINK MACHINE DOWN after giving us ONE soda apiece and said we could have water. Still charged us for the drinks. Worst service I have EVER had. Will never return.

Good ambiance! Tasty meals

Family enjoyed their meals. Got in quick. Waitress was all smiles, and service was top notch. I thought the whole experience was very good.

Food was fantastic at this particular location. The entry way is a little cluttered with the kitchen employees coming in and out right there, but that's not a big deal. The food was fresh and the staff was incredibly attentive.

I decided to treat myself today for Mother’s Day with some Eggplant Parmesan, a piece of Black Tie Mousse Cake and raspberry lemonade. I arrived on time for my pick up, but after several minutes, employees began to notice I was waiting pretty long. They did keep checking with me, telling me they were super busy and were working on it. Some more time passed, and the manager then came out and was sincerely apologetic about my wait and explained that the problem was due to a computer error. She did everything she possibly could to speed up my order, and I appreciated her personal attention to my situation . And it was 5:00 p.m. on Mother’s Day, the busiest restaurant day of the year. I wish I had gotten the managers name. IMHO, she’s doing an awesome job. food was delicious, and I will definitely be back as a carry out customer or a dine in customer. Take a deep breath, go easy on people, and be kind. Especially when you can see that they are genuinely trying.

I love their food. It's always tasty and hot. But the dining room and restrooms if you look closely. They're kind of dingy. The walls are scuffed and smeared with food from children. There's dust and debris and every little corner and crack and Booth. It just seems very run down. I wish they took as much stock in there cleanliness as they do in their food preparation. Thank goodness their kitchen staff is putting in 100%. Cause they're cleaning staff certainly isn't.

We love Olive Garden! Staff is friendly and food is awesome! We love the breadsticks and salad. I had the chicken alfredo and my husband had the spaghetti with marinara! It was all very delicious! We will definitely be back!

My first time at this location and enjoyed it very much. Great place, easy to get to, and plenty of parking. Didn't have to wait and seating was quick. Interior was nicely done and liked the exterior plantings also. All in all a very nice place for lunch or dinner or take friends and visitors from out of town. Great food. Will visit again.

Dakota was the best server we have ever had and we have always had great service here. We came closer to closing time and the food was just as amazing as midday. Dakota didn’t rush us at all and made sure we had everything we needed. Olive Garden has become our regular dining spot!

Great location. Food was fantastic and came quickly. Additionally, our server Sohan was extremely kind and made sure our time there was enjoyable. One of the best Olive Gardens I have been to.
