“The food was great! The menu is a refreshing change from the typical burgers and fries. The ladies were friendly and the place is clean and welcoming.“

“I came in for the first time with a friend shortly before Christmas and enjoyed a delicious lunch along with fantastic service. Although I am local, I can't believe I had never been here! I was also lucky enough to recently receive a gift card from my Daughter & Son in Law. I brought my hubby in today for his first time & he loved it as well. He had the bowl of French Onion Soup & Roast Beef sandwich. I had the Creamy Potato Soup and the Turkey Wrap. Both of our soups were hearty, full of flavor, and so savory. He enjoyed his Roast Beef on Rye with Horsey Sauce and my Turkey Wrap was so DELICIOUS 😋 The staff so very friendly & accommodating. The Cafe is decorated beautifully with lots of beautiful plants & decor. It's a perfect spot to take a little break from life with great meals, good people, and a perfect feeling of hometown comfort“

“The manager, John Lynch is very personable. On the weekends we make visits to Panera and he is very gracious and happy to see us. The facility is always clean and welcoming. We have been to other Panera locations but nothing compares to the tight ship John Lynch runs and does it in a matter that he is respected by his employees. Panera is fortunate to have him.“

“When I come in, all the staff is very polite and welcoming. I like the atmosphere along with the great food. Kara Tillotson will do whatever possible to make your visit a enjoyable one.“

“This Olive Garden is nestled in the parking lot of the nearby mall. It’s got a small portion of parking right next to it that fills quickly, but you can easily park at the mall only a few steps away. We went on a Saturday night and had to wait about 20min with no reservation. For those who aren’t familiar, Olive Garden is a casual Italian restaurant chain.

The food was okay. Olive Garden isn’t fancy Italian. But the unlimited soup/salad/breadsticks makes their somewhat mid-tier entrees worth it. Surprisingly, the table had high quality Italian salt and pepper grinders, which were a nice touch.

Cooper was our server and he was so friendly, kind, and attentive. He served us plenty of breadsticks and offered to get us more soup and salad although we declined. Unfortunately before us was a party of 40, so our entrees took a while to come out. Cooper was very apologetic and offered us dessert on the house, which we also declined but very much so appreciated the offer. We were not busy and thus didn’t mind waiting, and Cooper made it all the more pleasant.

Although we were only stopping here on a road trip, I’d recommend anyone to come to this Olive Garden! The service was great and the food worth your money.“
