Italian Salad Soup
(417) 782-7295

Salad was good as usual. Elliot my server did a great job. The only thing I don't understand is I ordered a lunch lasagna classico and I was charged $17.99. menu showed the price to be $9.99 or $10.99 for lunch special. I guess that's why I'll eat there about once every 5 or 6 years.

Went at 2 for a late lunch with my kids and although the place was empty no employees were cleaning up. They first tried to seat us at the bar at a dirty table. I didn't want to sit in the bar with my kids so we went to another area.... with a dirty table. Bathroom looked like it hadn't been clean in a day.The saving grace was our waiter, an incredibly nice guy that ensured all our needs were met quickly; I honestly should have tipped even more.

The food was good. The staff were quite friendly, prompt and attentive. Drinks were perfect. First time trying an Italian Margarita and was presently surprised. As usual the salad and breadsticks were terrific and we had enough for another meal of pasta to take home. Slightly disappointed the salad didn't have the giant olives but a smaller variety. Still had a couple good pepperoncinis.

Wonderful service and food. Went there ,got seated immediately,me and my roommate knew exactly what we wanted , kinda surprised our server with that , but she still got our orders done with quickly and easily. Had a few delays on our drinks , but we were kept aware of everything , and had exceptional service throughout the entire meal.I cannot remember our servers name ,but they were absolutely amazing , and despite the food being wonderful , were a big part of why we enjoyed our visit so much. Will definitely return ,and recommend eating here to others as well.

The last several times my friends and I have gone there for lunch we kept hearing "we're out of that" or out of an ingredient for food or alcoholic beverages. Last time I was there I had soup and salad for lunch. Salad was fine. However, my pasta fazoli soup was missing an ingredient....the pasta. Couldn't find one piece of pasta. They brought me another one that had pasta in it......maybe 10 or 12 pieces of pasta. Very disappointed in Olive Garden. Probably won't be back.

Great food and excellent service from the bartender, Michael S. He went over and above, making certain I was well-fed and juiced up! Kudos! These are the team members who keep customers coming back.

I like the Olive Garden. They have made the menu smaller so there is a little less to choose from. It's OK, I almost always get the all you can eat soup and salad. Add a bowl of very good Alfredo sauce for dipping some great bread sticks and that's all I need. They have made the Alfredo sauce all you can now too!Friendly staff, clean bathrooms, we will go back for sure.

Love this restaurant! Had been a long time since I'd been in there! Tasted different than what I remember but was good food! Our waitress was really nice an made sure we was taken care of. Pretty good experience!!

Where do I begin? Our server, after I ordered an alcoholic drink, STOLE one from another table and gave it to me, admitting that he had done so, and they wouldn't even miss it. We placed our order only to be told we wouldn't be able to enjoy our calamari or shrimp because they had run out of the seasoning. We sat there long enough to enjoy TWO bowls of salad, and 2 orders of bread sticks. We were then told our order was still not going to be ready for another 20 minutes. We gave up. It was a very disappointing visit to this particular Olive Garden, and I might have to think really hard before returning.

The young lady who was our server was awesome. Food was good but not great like it used to be. It was fairly busy, but we didn't have to wait to be seated.
