It was great for a night out with the hubby. Gina was our waitress and went above and beyond. She gave special attention to detail.
I would like to express my love for Olive Garden, as it has been my go-to restaurant for many years. However, I was recently disappointed with my experience. I am a big fan of the eggplant parmesan and usually order the large portion so I can take home leftovers. During my latest visit, I ordered the large eggplant parmesan, but I was served a dish with only two pieces of eggplant. When I inquired whether this was the lunch or large portion, I was informed that the large portion now includes only two pieces of eggplant, while the lunch portion has one piece. The price for this dish was nearly $18.50. I mind paying more for less. the picture shows 4 pieces. I was quite disappointed with the salad, which was mostly lettuce with only two slices of tomato and two black olives. I don't mind paying more but I paid more for less food.

Place is usually good but tonight was just inexplicably bad. Plenty of people working but too busy chatting with each other, service was abysmally slow. Food took forever to come out, drink refills were even worse. Just a disappointing experience all around.

Went on a very cold winters day for soup salad & Breadsticks we very good excellent waitress . Got seated and served immediately love the fact its all you can eat nice portions always good π
I love Olive garden. Itβs always been the OG spot growing up. Idk what happened to it. I decided to go for my lunch break and decided to sit at the bar for quicker service and was completely disappointed. Was sitting for over 10 minutes and only the take out lady came to me which I appreciate but never got greeted by the server. Which is sad because I used to work at Olive Garden & this isnβt how they operate. Ended up leaving disappointed and the manager was right there which is even more disappointing. The place was very Empty. So for terrible service like that is just sad. I hope they try to do better next time :/

I had poor service in the past, but not lately, the food is great but a bit pricey unless you go during the specials. Love the all you can eat salad and bread sticks.
Plenty of parking.

My party and I were transported to the lush, bountiful garden of olives thanks to our waiter Camron this past Saturday. It was a lunch experience like never before and I am not sure how we will ever top it. The breadsticks were abundant, our soup bowls were promptly refilled when needed, and the ambiance was warm, inviting, and effortlessly elegant, blending rustic charm with timeless sophistication. Will be sharing this experience with anyone I encounter from here on out.

Slow during lunch hour. Vinegarette dressing with salad was good. Enjoyed the chicken and dumpling soup. Enjoyed the shrimp scampi and substituted for spaghetti pasta instead of angel hair for free. Server was friendly and prompt. Easy to pay on the tablet device. The calamari was crispy and well seasoned.

I used to work at this Olive Garden forever ago. Some items have always been a guaranteed delight, until the past 5 years. We went there last Christmas eve for my mother's birthday. We were excited for chicken alfredo and the breadsticks of course. They've VERY clearly changed to extremely generic/cheap ingredients. The alfredo tasted like jarred crap. Yes Alfredo??! How could they stray from that!?At a minimum should be fresh and made authentically in house. The CHICKEN was not edible. It was like rubber, terribly low quality. I understand times change and they're struggling- but switching to low quality ingredients vs continuing with at least a few staples that can be counted on will be the end of them. We're having to go back again in a few days as its mom's choice- but we're so scared to order anything we used to love because it's worse than the worst fast food! Bring back quality! Super sad to see how they've stopped caring about serving quality food.
