the Olive Garden experience:? Food: Decent, but not mind-blowing. ? ?‍?‍?‍? Service: Can be hit or miss. Sometimes attentive, other times not so much. ? ? Ambiance: It’s okay—nothing extraordinary. ?‍♂️Overall, a mixed bag. Worth a visit if you’re craving pasta, but don’t expect perfection. ??️?‍♀️

Watch out when placing a To go order here. They ask you for a tip just to hand you your food and that is when you place your order well before they have actually done anything.

We were there on our way to Monterrey. We were driving unexpectedly late and really struggled with finding a place for our family of 3 to dine after 9pm. Fortunately we googled this location. Actually it was the only place in that area working through 11pm for dine in. This location was almost full with waiting line with mostly Spanish speking people around. But we were lucky enough to get a table within 15min. We could find something for everyone including 3yo and picky youth. Big size, fresh sea food and baked bread, caring staff, and pretty affordable prices. Perfect place for European food at late evening! We were too tired to make pictures. Definitely recommend!

Great! I've always regarded Olive Garden as a decent casual dining restaurant, but generic Italian food. But it never disappoints. My last visit I branched out from my usual and got the chicken and shrimp carbonara, and, OMG! Soooooo good!This location is good. It's usually busy but still usually fairly good service and great food. I worked in casual dining for about 10 years, off and on, as a server, bartender and expo (well, started as a bus boy when I was 16). My opinion of Olive Garden in general is that they're more slow at it and focused on the details and being a little more "fancy" (like more towards fine dining), which results in slower service and longer ticket times (time to get your food). They do a good job of managing & executing this on a company level, but from a customer's point of view I'd personally prefer them to be quicker and less worried about the details and presentation - as they are still casual dining. It's good food, just get it going and get it out.But all in all, good place. And that chicken and shrimp carbonara is fabulous.Parking: There is a big shared parking lot. When it's busy, it gets full but at those times the other businesses are slow/closed - so there's the whole rest of the large shared lotWheelchair accessibility: Plenty of handicap parking, and it's easy to get into & it's all 1 floor. Their non-booth tables are the perfect height for a wheelchair.

Great food, excellent service, and the bread sticks kept coming. It's definitely a place to go if you are hungry.. Unlimited soup and salad is the way to go. Highly recommended.

Hosts in the front seem unhappy to be there. When asked about updates regarding wait time, their faces screamed annoyance. No friendly customer service from any of them.

Took family to lunch during the week. The lunche has many options at a great price. You can not go wrong with soup, salad, and bread sticks from OG.
