We always find friendly smiles, great service and excellent food. The new chef is good*UpdateNot sure what happened to their great chef but the food was not as good today. 04/21/2024 Broken sauce and smaller portions had us surprised by it all.

This Olive Garden was not the best I've ate at. The waitress was awful. She didn't take time to listen to my elderly aunt for her order at all and brought what she think she wanted. Had to wait a bit for a table but that was ok. My cousin and I both had a margaritas, they weren't the best but passable. The soup was the only good thing we had at our table. Will not go back here.

When I arrived 4 plus a baby they said 15-30 minutes wait. I looked in the restaurant it was over 1/2 empty. I don't know what the problem was, poor help because no one was cleaning tables.

The Chicken Alfredo "used" to be so good. They don't use any spices other than salt now. I may as well go to the grocery store and buy a jar off the shelf. Not even a crust on the chicken, not even browned. The franchise needs to visit. I understand you're trying to cut back to make everything cheaper but, my God, there's a limit.
Our waiter Elijah was very good they were very busy due to state pee wee wrestling going on. Definitely has good work ethic.Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly for as many kids that were there they didn't get rude not once about any of the children.
