The food is ok. The restaurant is dated. Breads ticks and salad are good but pasta is bland.

A little understaffed - we were told - but didn’t affect us, and the server was great. Manager stopped by near end of meal to verify satisfaction. We like that.

We were served by Skaula (probably miss spelled her name).

But she did an amazing job, made the experience a lot more enjoyable!
Thank you!!

Food was delicious and free refills for drinks, salads, bread sticks, and soups!

Thank you again for the amazing service!

The wife and I have been here a couple of times and we have yet to have a bad experience. Wait time can be hit and miss for dinner but if you go for lunch you will walk right in to your seat.

Food was great Things have changed over the years. From dirty/spotty silverware to having to ask for drink refills instead of them offering. Areas of restaurant ombionce are very bright. The self pay kiosk on the table. Overall the personal touch has gone away.

The food took too long to come out to us. Most of the time, the food comes out quickly.

Been going to this same location since I was a kid. The bread sticks and salad serving is terrific I get full before I can eat what I order " only downside" how was the burger they put out? Did you guys like? Unfortunately I wasn't able to try it! I thought that was a funny idea for olive garden to come up with a burger 😀 I think they should bring back the lobster fettuccine Alfredo I thought that was one of the best ideas they came up. I get the chicken fettuccine broccoli Alfredo, the soup is good, I've had the zephs for dessert they are the ones who are covered with sugar and look like a donut from an Asian bakery on convoy. It's not bad for being what the Italians call " the fast food of Italian" I'm a quarter Italian and I don't like that name for olive garden I think it does it's best 👍 diffenately go there
