Visited this location on our way home from Virginia and although we decided to stay for dinner, the restaurant definitely needs some major cleaning. We got there just around 5 pm, it was busy. I used the rest room, very filthy. Our waitress was awesome, food good. It's Olive Garden, food should always be good. But, the restaurant was dirty. The manager should have staff checking the bathrooms periodically, tables need to be cleaned properly before seating customers. Just needs TLC. Posted April 28th, 2024Love the Olive garden. We always make a point to stop here for a bite on our way home to Canada. Love their endless bowl of soup and salad. My favorite, Tuscan soup.

Olive Garden has a way that always just hits the spot. I know what to expect, the only thing that changes is the staff and they always seem better than the last. It’s my go to for comfort!

Went there last week. This was my first time at Olive Garden. We were a group of 3, and we waited almost an hour for our food because the kitchen staff forgot to make it. The food was okay, except for the lasagna, it did not taste very good at all. We played 1 round of trivia on the little tablet device on the table not knowing that one round would cost us $2.99, no warning on the screen or nothing. The overall experience wasn’t really what we expected. The waitress was very nice and friendly though.

Great food, the waitress was very quick. So quick she seemed to be rushing to get us out.Kid-friendliness: They have those small screens games that your kids will enjoy playing on.

Believe it or not ... my first time in Olive Garden.We were on our way back across the border after doing a bit of last minute shopping near Walden Galleria (yes, we're Canucks), when we both had a bit craving for something. My queen suggested Olive Garden, and I agreed as I have never been to one.The atmosphere here was subdued, as it was the tail-end of the lunch session. The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable. One small drawback we both noticed ... the place could have used a bit of a cleanup, we saw more mess on the floor of the dining than we're used to seeing at other places. We both figured that they probably got slammed during the lunchtime rush, and just didn't get around to tidying up.The food was surprisingly good. The menu was reminiscent of a chain of restaurants in Ontario (E**t S**e M**ios, for those who might know or care) ... endless bread, soup or salad, with a ton of pasta main course options.The bread was a little spongier and sweeter, and the salad dressing a bit more zestier, than our Ontario counterpart, but we really enjoyed both here. A little comparative competition is always good to provide a broader perspective.Our mains were both pasta dishes (after all, that is what we came here to try). My spaghetti with meat sauce ws actually very good. The noodles were perfectly cooked and there was plenty of beef in the tomato based sauce. My better half had the carbonarra with penne and shrimp, and she said it was "yummy".Will we come back here ... we'll certainly consider it next time we're in the neighborhood.

Meh! Very disappointed. Canadian girl here...so much hype around Olive Garden. The restaurant was dirty....made the mistake of glancing in the kitchen as we walked past...UGH. Floors everywhere were filthy. Food was ok. Wasn't an appetizing experience.

The absolute worst service. Walked in to enjoy a lunch at 3pm was told the wait would be 20 minutes. I left to place a to go order and was ignored for over 20 minutes. Finally someone answered and was told to go orders and curbside pick up was very busy. I was the only one in the curbside parking area. Tables open throughout the reataurant were open. When i came inside i was told i could sit at the bar but not tye tables in the bar area as those were part of the 20 minute wait. What HORRIBLE service. Do yourself a favor and go to another one of the OGs in the area bit this place doesnt deserve your business.
