Got seated fast also got food fast but a soon as my server couldn’t bring a simple of bread sticks and instead said sorry it come out with your food .when requesting for a salad he replied by saying sorry can’t change your food for a salad I had to tell him to just bring a order of salad. I just don’t understand how he just wanted to argue about getting any of my orders to my table. I tried to give olive garden another shot after a few years of not coming here do to the cheap ingredients and what seems to be Italian frozen food you can get at the frozen section of your grocery store . For anybody looking for good quality Italian food I suggest you try Bucca de peppo instead of waiting your time on frozen bread sticks and water-crest lettuce with no nutrients.

This restaurant (this location) is one of the fastest seating wait I've experienced in the chain of Olive Garden restaurants. The choices are great for all Italian food newbies and kids. Forgive me, I'm not expressing discontent at all. Its good food. My only real discomfort with the restaurant is that their a/c is at full blast so take a warm jacket. Other than that good experience.

Bartender waitress completly ignored my wife and I she was too busy cleaning her bottles after a few minutes she came and said something but walked away ignoring us again. I even put the menus away to signal that i was ready to order. We decided to just walk away

Put name in for a table and was told about 20mins. An hour later we got notified that our table was ready , only to be told we needed to wait longer for the table to be cleaned. There were at least 4 large tables that were clean and ready to go that we saw...after finally getting seated we ordered our drinks which came in good timing but then waited for quite a while before someone came to take our orders. We didn't receive our bread sticks or salad until maybe 25mins after being seated and the plates that were given to us were filthy and still had some kind of food stuck to them. We had 4 of the all you can eat pasta bowls, which we were only able to order a second helping of because service was so terrible. Definitely will not be going back to this location.

If there is one thing I hate, it is DECEPTIVE advertising!
My 🏈 TV games are inundated with ads from this place showing Endless Pasta Bowls with PROTEIN prominately displayed in the commercial for $13.99.
So I go into my nearby store and --- lo and behold --- the price is 🚫 what was professed, yet $15.99 is the STARTING PRICE, two bucks more.
Now if that ain't bad enough, you want meatballs or chicken or sausage . . . that is an additional 3-5 bucks MORE . . . depending on which one you choose! So just to get a plate, you begin at 20-25 bucks, 🚫 the $13.99 being irroneously promoted!
So I am 🚫 falling for this 'okie-doke!'
I peruse the menu and I see I can get a 5-meatball pasta for $13.99.
Then I see a 2-meatball pasta dinner for $15.99 and I ask are the balls the same size. The barkeep says they are, but you get 🚫 soup or salad nor bread sticks with the appetizer.
I take the latter and once again, the main course is a VERY DISTANT second to the soup and bread sticks . . . like always!
WHY DO I EVEN FALL FOR THIS 'bait and switch' NONSENSE from this place! 😤😠😡🤬

I recently came here with my friends and I had a great experience. I got unlimited pasta and each was just as good as the last. My waitress was amazing and attentive. Even the staff who weren’t my waitress were helpful and willing to attend to us. I recommend this location.
