The food is “ok” but you definitely get a Big Bang for your buck. The place is great for feeding large groups on a small budget but if you are looking for real quality Italian, go elsewhere

After being seated, employees began gathering tables and seated a party of 18 next to us. This made having a conversation impossible. It also took our service away as they were too busy to notice we had no breadsticks at the table and my salad bowl was empty. We had to seek out a server to assist our table. When our bill arrived it was not even accompanied by the famous chocolate mint flavored candy. This location I would not visit again, but I do not live in that area either.

I've always had great experiences at this Olive Garden, so I was excited to place a pickup order for the first time—especially since they brought back a classic dish, Steak Gorgonzola. The dish looked great and was hot, but unfortunately, the taste was unbearable. It was as if an entire container of salt had been dumped in. I wish I were exaggerating, but it was completely inedible, and I had to throw it away.
To make matters worse, I had driven over 15 minutes to pick it up, so taking it back wasn’t an easy option. I called to speak with a manager, but after being on hold for over four minutes, I gave up. I was really disappointed, not just with the food but also with the lack of customer service. I hope this was just a one-time mistake because I’ve always enjoyed dining here in the past.
Update:Olive Garden addressed my concerns quickly and efficiently. I couldn't be happier with the customer service response. I ordered there again, and the food was delicious and made fresh. I will continue to return to this location based on their quick response and the experience I had afterward
Oh my gosh I used to love this location but coming here for lunch and experiencing racism was not on the menu for me.
The attitude from the hostess and seating all certain races in a corner was astonishing how obvious it was. The server was lack luster and not about her customer service. Food was not up to parr either. Sad. Do better Olive Garden!

Huge fan of olive garden personally, usually as someone who’s strict on macros its hard to find restaurants that I can adjust the food to fit my meal plan. I do not have this issue with Olive Garden, I get the same thing every time I go, Margarita chicken nothing on it swap asparagus with broccoli extra chicken breast 10/10
