“If you’re hitting up Olive Garden anytime soon, do yourself a favor and ask for Lochlan B.

Straight up—this dude sets the standard. From the moment we sat down, he was patient, humble, and never once made us feel rushed. You can tell right away he actually cares about what he’s doing, not just going through the motions. Every question? Answered. Every request? Handled without hesitation. He stayed on top of everything the entire time without being overbearing.

What really stood out is that he genuinely seems to love his job—and that energy makes a difference. It’s rare to get service that feels this smooth and effortless.

If you want your dining experience done right, ask for Lochlan B. You won’t regret it.“

The fries are home made fries were really good delicious. I would definitely go back I even took a menu with me. Didn't take pictures but next time I will and I'll post them. I think they should put a pier to walk into the ocean that would be awesome.“

Our dishes took a minute (full restaurant) yet were quite impressive and tasty….worth the wait. 😋 Our server was Bailey and Emmanuel was helping too—very kind, attentive, professional and 👍🏽 upbeat.

Pizza connection is a part of Auburndale where you’re always seeing friends and family even on a work day ,definitely one of a kind from their pizzas to their salads and sandwiches. You can never go wrong.❤️❤️❤️“

“Marco's delivered a pizza big enough for my whole family to be filled in under 20 minutes delivery time. The pizza was gone almost instantly. The value there is high due to the delivery time, taste and quality of pizza. I've never only eaten Marco's Pizza at home, so I don't know what the atmosphere is like closer to their kitchen“

“We recently placed an online order with your store and encountered an error during the process. Fortunately, we had the pleasure of speaking with Sean P. over the phone. He not only helped us place the order quickly and efficiently but also took the extra step to ensure our original online order hadn't gone through.

This past week has been especially emotional and stressful for our family, as we are mourning the loss of our father. Sean was incredibly kind, patient, and understanding during this difficult time. His professionalism and compassion did not go unnoticed, and we are truly grateful for the support he provided.

Excellent customer service—thank you, Sean!“
