“Olive Garden never disappoints, but this time, our experience was truly exceptional thanks to our amazing server, Jada ! From the moment we sat down, she made us feel welcomed and well taken care of. Her attention to detail, friendly personality, and great recommendations made our meal even more enjoyable.

Jada went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed, checking in at just the right moments and keeping our drinks full. Her positive attitude and genuine hospitality truly set the tone for a fantastic dining experience.

My daughter loves coming here, and Olive Garden is definitely our spot. If you’re looking for delicious Italian food with top-notch service, Olive Garden is the place to go—be sure to ask for Jada! We’ll definitely be coming back.“

“I’ve never had a bad experience here. This is my go to place! Love it!“

“Best Margaritas in town😍👍“

“My husband and I love this restaurant! Their food is always sooooo delicious and fresh. We got the honey sesame chicken, chicken lo mein, spicy chicken wings and chicken pot stickers all of that for $40! The service was amazing as always the gentleman at the front was friendly and even bought us extra sauces as well. We will definitely be back soon! ?“

“Solid Panera location with their signature cafe atmosphere - modern design with warm wood tones and coral accents. Love their new digital menu boards and the convenient rapid pick-up area for online orders.

The breakfast sandwich I tried was done well with fluffy eggs, though tables could use more frequent cleaning during peak hours. The spacious seating area has a mix of booths and tables, with their signature pendant lighting creating a cozy ambiance.

Pro tip: Join their Unlimited Sip Club (spotted on their cups) if you're a regular - it's great value for coffee and drinks. The exterior is well-maintained with good accessibility features and bollards for safety.

While the food quality is consistently good (those cheese eggs look perfect!), knocked one star off because the tables needed better attention during my visit. Still a reliable spot for fresh-baked goods, soups, and sandwiches when you want something a step up from fast food.

Best for: Quick business lunches, coffee meetings, or grabbing breakfast on the go. Their rapid pick-up system is efficient if you order ahead through their app.

Parking: no worries

Kid-friendliness: lots of variety“

“The food is very good here, but the portion size is my big praise. I recommend the two-meat plate, and no one should reasonably eat everything in one sitting. I told my wife that we should have divided a plate, and we could have added some egg rolls to the appetizing crunchy spring roll that is included. We have enjoyed the food at two locations, and we recommend them both.“
