    Ordered for pick up, used the online website to place our order it was super simple. They had the buy one get one free options we chose from, I believe there are 5-6 options you can pick. Pick up was easy and everything was correct and on time, took less than 30mins after placing the order. Asked for more Alfredo and bread sticks because they are so so good:) The food was nice and hot and perfectly packaged, (maybe I woulda put the frozen and cold stuff in a different bag if I had to change one thing.. but wasn't a big deal, we didn't live to far. Just the steam from the pastas on the cold salad and frozen stuff, prob not best temp wise) but everything was great. The Alfredo tasted a lil different from last time maybe less garlic & cheese or something? Idk.. it had been a while since we've been in. But it was all still good. The restaurant dine in option provides a nice cozy somewhat dim lighting for a romantic setting or casual outting with Italian style music playing in the background softly. I'm sure some people walk in wearing sweats.. but I'd dress casual to classy depending the date:)

    Its OG, been here forever. Never fails to satisfy that quick pasta craving. Yum to the toasted ravioli and calamari. Plenty of seating but it does get busy. Great staff!!

    Soup

    One of the chain restaurants I tend to revisit is Olive Garden. It is kind of safe place for Italian style comfort food - no surprises, but it is sometimes simply good to be able to rely on a familiar concept. This time, I had salmon and broccoli. It was quite ok; simple plate that is actually not overly challenging to prepare even home, but no complaints here - although I reckon pasta is the house specialty to go for in this place. Friendly and efficient service accommodated our party of about 10 without hesitations.

    The twins were amazing! Service was the best I've ever experienced at any olive garden! so ask for them! food is yummy! The bread and the salad is my absolute favorite! Ambiance is like going over to grandmas house on a Sunday afternoon haha calm

    Soup and fettuccine after I poured more sauce on it
    Sherrie P.

    Handicap parking right up front. We joined the wait list and got sat as soon as we got there. Service was ok. They were busy so its ok. Food was disappointing. We had 2 different soups and both were not hardly warm. 2nd bowl of different soup was hot. Breads sticks hard. My fettuccine Alfredo came out barley warm and no sauce on half of it. I asked for more sauce and it was barley warm. Did not eat any took home. My friend had chicken parm and noodles with olive oil and garlic they came out dry with nothing and were not warm. Her chicken parm was hot. We shared with waitress and the manager came over. Very nice and offered to remake. We were done at that point wanted to leave. Manager gave us a $25 gift card. Ill give 2 stars because of that.

    Shrimp Alfredo

    Let's start with the good... Kid's Meal Cheese Pizza Pretty decent! Definitely one of the better things we tried. Kid's Meal French Fries The absolute BEST part of the meal. That's where the good ends Shrimp Alfredo Grocery store Alfredo has more flavor. This dish was bland on its own and the only thing that helped was the grated cheese packets and a side of Five Cheese Marinara I ordered...which was also lacking flavor. The shrimp was so tough I ate one and tossed the rest. Huge disappointment. Raspberry Lemonade (Kid's Meal) Flavorless. Not even slightly sweet or tart. Just... liquid. Famous House Salad The salad arrived drenched and overloaded with onions. Straight to the trash. Five Cheese Marinara Sauce was better than the Alfredo, but still weak on flavor. Very underwhelming. Cookie Butter Cheesecake Not terrible, not great-just...giving meh! I expected more. Cookie Butter Cheesecake 3 Stars Famous House Salad 1 Star Five Cheese Marinara Sauce 2 1/2 Stars Kid's meal French Fries 4 1/2 Stars Kid's meal Cheese Pizza 3 1/2 Star Shrimp Alfredo 1 Star

    Fettuccine Alfredo
    Betty L.

    The salad is what I remember. There are lots of different components to the salad including croutons and carrot shavings. The lettuce will wilt quickly if you take home leftovers. The fettuccine Alfredo was a little light in the flavor. I think it was stronger in the past. Maybe they could have added more sauce.

    Tour of Italy.....way overpriced

    I personally cannot stand Olive Garden at all. I give this place a shot every year or so and every year I am disappointed. So as far as the soup and salad goes you can't go wrong there. The soups are all pretty good and the salad is just salad. The waiter we had was a nice guy and did what he could for us but they had him on way to many tables so getting drink refills and anything else we needed was tough. My issue mainly is with the entrees. I have tried many things over the years and it just always so bland. They need to revamp a few of the sauces and update a few things and it may be a better restaurant. The interior is the same old rustic boring style that hasn't changed in forever. This is just my opinion and experience. They've been in business a long time so to most they must be doing something right. There are just many other places that are much better for the same or even less priced.

    Our server was PHENOMENAL! Made my entire night, super attentive and kind all the way. He also reminded me of Seth Rogan. I highly highly recommend reserving your place in line via the website. It was such a huge perk to reserve and join the wait list. We literally only waited like 10 minutes. Food was okay. Breadsticks were warm and soup was tasty. I absolutely loved my pasta, the cheese was a huge plus! The place was clean and spacious, can't wait to come back!

    Pasta fagioli
    Denise M.

    To tell the truth, we usually try to go to local places rather than chain restaurants. We ended up coming today because of their Veterans Day deal. This place is seriously popular. Every time we drive by there's a crowd of people waiting to get in, and that was no exception tonight. Fortunately, I went online and got our name on the list before we even left the house. We got seated within a couple of minutes. The atmosphere is Tuscan, with rock walls and wrought iron lighting fixtures. It really is nice atmosphere. There's also a separate bar. We had a really, really fantastic server. I wish I could remember his name. He was the absolute best. We ordered a couple of cocktails, which were surprisingly inexpensive, and really good. All of us chose soup instead of salad, three pasta fagioli and one Toscana. That is some seriously good soup. The pasta fagioli was hearty enough to be the entire meal with the breadsticks Two of us got the spaghetti and meatballs, and two got the endless pasta bowl with fettuccini Alfredo with chicken, the angel hair with garlic and herbs, and the rigatoni with Five cheese sauce. They were all really good. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked it here! I will not snub my nose at this chain restaurant anymore--it was good!

    My love!

    Ok it is Valentine's Day and my GF and I decided after our ride to stop in for a a lunch date instead of our planned dinner date. Allen first off was an amazing waiter! We sat at a small fable at first across from each other and we were not having that specially on Valentine's Day. So he pretty much let my GF choose our table to lower her anxiety. Then his service was spot on the best I have had at an Olive Garden! The food is always what you expect but the service here was perfect.

Paid for food. Hubby ate all his soup and still no sandwich. Really wanted those together. Waited total of 15 or more minutes..and had to go to counter to ask. When we asked if we could get more soup with the sandwich they said no and made us pay for it all over. No apologies that it took longer than we were quoted for getting the food. It would have been nice to be told it would be longer than a couple of minutes..we would have ordered another sandwich option. Customer service was sub par and there was no care for the customer and poor communication. Needless to say we will NOT be back. Employees could care less..no wonder the place only had a handful of customers the whole time we were there. Do not recommend.

The menu features enough sausage options to think there was a factory out back. There were over 10 varieties to choose from, and after a brief existential crisis, I settled on the two sausages with sauerkraut. They were so good I immediately regretted not ordering a few more links. That's the missing link in my decision-making process. Then came the potato and cheddar pierogies. Naturally, I smothered them in bacon, sautéed onions, and sour cream because moderation is for people eating salads. Each bite tasted like a warm hug from someone's Ukrainian (grandma) who also wanted to make sure you never skipped a meal again. Just when I thought my arteries had filed for divorce, dessert arrived: a cottage cheese crepe with berry sauce that was somehow light, rich, sweet, and ridiculously good all at once. This isn't a place that wastes time trying to impress you with Edison bulbs, reclaimed wood, or a menu that describes water as "locally sourced." They let the food do the talking, and the food basically says, "Sit down, you're too skinny."

We usually get their tawainese supreme soup, but we replace it with thai flavored broth because we love the thai broth a lot - yummy sweet sour broth. It comes with a bunch of toppings - Taiwanese cabbage, instant noodles, beef slices, beef tendon, enoki mushroom, tempura, clam, fuzhou fishball, cuttlefish ring, pork blood rice cake, pork intestine, fried tofu skin, brown beech mushroom, tofu imitation crabmeat, meatball, sour mustard, fried tofu puff, cilantro, scallion.

Disgusting and a waste of $55. First time eating at a restaurant where we didn't finish the food. The food was that disappointing AND overpriced. If it was cheaper and just as terrible taste-wise and portion-wise, I would've given 3 stars. Save your money and go to the better famous hot pot place literally in the same plaza.

I'll stick to my potato salad. - Potato Salad: Pretty decent for a potato salad, but nothing standout for me. - Meatball Sub: My cousin and his son split this, and they said it was quite large. They wished it had more sauce, but still overall a decent meatball sub. - Caesar Salad + Chicken: I couldn't snap a photo before my cousin's girlfriend and his daughter tore into this.
