“I’ve been to a lot of different Piadas but this one was the only one that used a pan to mix the pasta. This made the meal SO much better. Not to mention the service. Allen was wonderful and recommended a spicy ranch that I hadn’t tried before. Everyone seems to be super happy here (which I cannot say about other locations haha). Very pleased!“

“We made an online reservation for a table for two on Valentine’s Day, and when we arrived, we only had to wait about five extra minutes. Considering how busy the night was—with just about everyone and their Valentine out—that was impressive. We were seated quickly and able to place our order right away.

Our salad and drinks came out within about five minutes, which was a great start. The main dishes took around 25 minutes, which was understandable given how backed up the kitchen was. My wife ordered spaghetti, and I had spaghetti with meatballs. The food tasted good overall, but it arrived warm rather than hot, likely due to the volume of orders that night. Portions also felt a little light—either that or we were just extra hungry, lol.

Even with the crowd and minor hiccups, we truly enjoyed our evening. Celebrating 22 years of Valentine’s Days together made the night special, and Olive Garden still provided a pleasant, memorable experience.“

“My original review is below, after I posted this Kristi from Chick Fil A contacted me, apologized about the service and made things right. It is not often business's acknowledge their mistake and fewer who are willing to make it right and keep a customer. Kudos to Chick Fil A and their commitment to quality! and thanks Kristi.
We ordered a 30 piece nugget and maybe got 25 with many tiny pieces. Very disappointed, this was part of our Christmas Eve meal so not a great time to get something sub par. I had to re heat them so you can see way less then the 30 we ordered.“

“I stopped by this Zaxby’s after a few months away, and overall the experience was still reliably good. The food quality has remained consistent across my visits — my order was correct, served at the right temperature, and presented well, which is something I’ve come to expect from this location. The staff continues to be polite and professional. I wouldn’t call the service exceptional, but it’s consistently acceptable, and everyone stays busy and engaged in their work.

The restaurant was clean throughout my visit. I was there for over an hour catching up with a friend, and the drink station stayed clean the entire time. I also noticed team members wiping down tables whenever they weren’t taking orders, which is always a good sign of solid day‑to‑day upkeep.

There have been a few changes since my last visit. The drive‑thru setup outside has been improved, and traffic flows much better now. Parking has also been adjusted so cars in the drive‑thru aren’t blocking people trying to park. Inside, the seating area has been reworked and brightened up with fresh paint, giving it a nicer overall feel. The only downside was noticing a few cosmetic shortcuts — the booth I sat near had old holes and anchors that were simply painted over instead of properly patched. That feels more like an issue with whoever handled the remodel rather than Zaxby’s itself, but it did stand out. I was also disappointed to see that the Coke Freestyle machine is no longer at the drink station, since that was always a nice perk.

Even with those small misses, this is still a good place to grab a meal and catch up with friends, and I’ll definitely be back again soon.“
