What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Diners praise Olive Garden for its consistent taste, friendly service, and family-friendly atmosphere. While many rave about classic dishes and never-ending breadsticks, some reviews mention service hiccups, such as incorrect orders or inattentive staff during busy periods. However, the overall sentiment highlights good value and reliable Italian-American comfort food.
"We had a fantastic time here.
Good food and great service.
I ordered the Pasta and it was really excellent.
The best part of Olive garden is that you can expect the same taste which ever location you visit. And truly we were not disappointed with the tasty food.
The five cheese marinara is good to try. They serve soup or salad as a starter along with the garlic sticks.
I prefer to have the Minestrone soup because that's the only vegetarian option available.
Kudos to this Olive garden location and wish they maintain the same level of quality, quantity and service."

"The food was awesome and I really enjoyed my dinner but there was a lady shutting the curtains in front of us and the restaurant wasn't even closing.
She was rude and closed the blinds of the entire place with customers inside still eating blocking the view to the outside."

"We went during lunchtime with our grand baby. The service was terrible. I’ve ordered soup and salad. We requested the soup and bread sticks first, however they started us with the salad. I ordered Zuppa Toscana for my husband and chicken Gnocchi soup for myself. They brought us two Tuscans soup. We ordered Shrimp Fritto Misto with the salad. They didn’t bring us the shrimp on time, I ended up ordering to take out. Not silverware for my little ones!"
