    Yummyyyyy salad
    Courtni B.

    Went to Olive Garden for my birthday and had such a great time! The atmosphere was super nice and cozy. Our waiter was amazing -- she kept checking on us and made sure we had everything we wanted. The free birthday dessert was so good (definitely to die for ). The stellar service alone makes me and my friends want to come back! So, my friends and I will for sure be returning soon.

    All you can eat bread sticks

    I love, love, Olive Garden. It's one of my favorite places to go to. I absolutely love their all you can eat salad and / or soup and bread sticks. My favorite drink is the rasberry lemonade, but today, I had their peach rasberry ice. It might be my new favorite drink. Pro tip. I always ask for a dish of extra tomatoes to add to my salad. You can ask for extra olives or whatever comes in the salad. It is all you can eat, you know, haha. It's very hard not to order the chicken fettuccine alfredo. It's my go-to. Love dipping the bread sticks in the alfredo sauce. Trust me on this advice. Save room for dessert. Olive garden desserts are all delicious. When it's in season, I love Pumpkin cheesecake. It's soooo good. Better then any other pumpkin cheesecake I had anywhere else. This night, we had tiramisu and strawberry cheesecake. Both were delicious. SAVE ROOM FOR DESSERT! OK? OK good. Haha

    We came today for a birthday celebration- our server Aaryen was amazing. Our sodas were always filled and she was super friendly. We had also stopped Tara to ask for a new fork and she was so friendly and attentive too! The environment was quiet but it was super enjoyable.

    Chicken gnocchi soup and fettuccine alfredo add shrimp (lunch portion). The shrimp was burned, but they remade it.

    So, it has been a while since my last review of Olive Garden. We dine here regularly, more for me than him. He always gets the spaghetti, because it is cheaper and they still give you a decent amount. He says it is not for the flavor. They could season it a bit more. So, he adds salt, pepper, and cheese to it. We both love the chicken gnocchi soup here! It is by far the best soup on the menu. When I overhear customers debating which soup to get, I want to tell them "Get the chicken gnocchi! You won't regret it!" We prefer to come for the lunch special. It is a smaller portion at about half the cost of the dinner. I almost always have the fettuccine alfredo with shrimp. Sometimes I will have ravioli with alfredo. Either way, it is an add on/extra charge (either for the shrimp or the sauce). The ravioli ususally comes with either marinara or meat sauce (I think). I wish they would give standard alfredo sauce as an option in more dishes. It is my favorite sauce of all! Service is always great with the servers we choose. I always ask who is serving first before we put our name down. Eric, Kaylie, Lexi, and Savon (hopefully I spelled everyone's name correctly), they are all amazing!! I'm happy to see them every time! The management is awesome too (Bob and Ben). One more person I always like greeting us is Doris. She is so sweet and friendly! There are a few others that I know I'm forgetting. Oops! I posted a photo of the wonderful job the kitchen did for our son's birthday. They actually wrote happy birthday in raspberry sauce! So sweet and thoughtful. Above and beyond in my book. Sometimes we order the chocolate "black tie mousse cake". It is so good, we forgot to take a photo first! You will see an empty plate in the photo. Lol! I would like to see Olive Garden's lemon cake come back. It was far superior to any other dessert they have. The black tie mousse cake is a close second. I love all those chocolate chips and chocolate ganache!! Yum!! My final suggestion: I used to have their email club, but it became more ads than coupons. Then no coupons at all, just ads! I don't understand it. I would hope they could revamp it and bring back at least a coupon every once in a while for loyal customers. It would bring us in more often. Summary: * more coupons needed * bring back lemon cake * have more dishes with standard alfredo * bring back the early dinner specials * customer service awesome!

    Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo

    Went to lunch yesterday with my daughter. We had a mommy daughter date and this is the restaurant she wanted to go to. We were seated right away in a cute little booth. It was perfect! Our waitress was very nice. She took our drink orders as soon as we sat down. Also gave us some of her recommendations. We decided to go with the lunch Fettuccine Alfredo add chicken. That came with unlimited breadsticks, soup or salad. So my daughter got the salad and I got the soup and we shared . Salad was great! My daughter got ranch on it instead of the Italian dressing. And we loved the chicken gnocchi soup! So yummy! The guy who brought our fettuccine out was also very friendly. He even cracked a couple jokes. I wish I got his name. He was awesome! Our food was actually delicious. Perfect temperature and had a wonderful flavor. My daughter & I had a really good lunch. It was a great deal. You get so much food!! When we were done our waitress packed up my soup for me to take home and gave me a sleeve for my breadsticks. She was very helpful. Olive Garden is a solid choice for

Staff was super friendly, went out of their way to make sure the tables were tidy, and refilled drinks really quick. The restaurant is smaller than you expect it to be, but it is cozy, friendly, and not overly loud. We only had a 10 minute wait when we arrived and they were packed. Our waiter Kyle was on point, introduced himself and dropped the special of the day with gusto. If I hadn't already had a ton of carbs for the day I would have gone with it. Ended up ordering the scallops, and fried zucchini appetizers. Scallops are served almost like a soup. The sauce in the bowl was to die for. I'm thinking white wine, and lemon were the major components. It was phenomenal. Fried zucchini was super tasty and is coming home with us. I'd swear it was enough to feed 4 people. For mains, we ordered pot roast and fettuccine Alfredo with chicken. Wife loved the pasta and chicken. Surprisingly enough she ate it all, none to go which is super rare for her. Pot roast was fantastic. Mashed potatoes were on point, the mixed vegetables were amazing. When you get broccoli and carrots on the same plate and neither have a mushy texture it makes me happy Will definitely be back again in the future.

    First problem, clam chowder was gross thick, sloppy cut clams, and just barely warm . Told…read moreserver she took it away appologizing. Next my chicken Marsala, sauce almost spilled off plate, tasted like squeeze lemon, chicken dry potatoes thin and grainy, just disgusting. Then unbelievably my husbands hamburger was very rare, not understood since he ordered it well. No tip after all plates over half full. We have dined there many times over the years. But the problem used to always be twice the wait we were told, every time ( that was our families joke about the place. It was dead this time, the food explained that. We are frequent eat out family, but just mid it was not. We got a discount. But $103.00 later and annoyed and still hungry, it was not worth. Never again! On there behalf, my daughter liked her desert. Good luck at lasting very much longer, with that swill. Where was a manager or host of any kind. Who is running tje place and trying to keep some integrity for their bussiness. Just a bunch of young, big eyed women overwhelmed with wasted food and with many appologies.

But as someone who has worked as a server and in operations for big restaurant groups, the entire place needs some retraining. Food: Overall we had 1 good dish - their pad-eggplant. Noodle dishes were clumpy. Rice = HORRIBLE. Dry and not fresh. Their salads were not great, and overall the quality does not equate to the price. Service: This place cannot handle a large table. Anything over 3 people is probably a stretch for them. We had a reservation for Mother's Day, and when we came in there were only 2 tables who were at the end of their meal already. They paid and left. Tables were coming in, but we were able to place our order prior to it getting busy. The restaurant is pretty full now, all the tables that come after us are eating or have eaten, and have paid and left. We had a few appetizers and nothing. I ask the servers why this is, and my answer is that they are processing other orders, processing to-go orders, and then the chef wants to make our dishes all at the same time. Our food never comes at the same time. There's anywhere from 10 mins in between each plate, meaning majority of the time we were eating 1-2 bites then just waiting. Stir fry dishes given without serving spoons or rice, tom yum soup given without bowls. Near the end of the meal, we are still sitting there waiting for the remaining dishes and nothing. We asked for the dishes - looks like they forgot. We just ask them to cancel it and then get us the check. One time I asked for the soup bowls, she said yes and left. Then went to help with delivery pickup and to seat people. Completely forgot until I asked her again. Another time I asked for some additional plates, the other server said she would get it and then left and completely forgot, I had to ask again. We asked for egg on the side since my niece is allergic and never got the egg. I had to ask for that and my other niece ended up eating the plain egg with rice because she was hungry. There was an issue between the front of house and back of house and until they can get that figured out, they should turn off their ordering system. If they are a sit down restaurant, they need to ensure they can prioritize the folks they are charging an automatic 20% service fee from. It sucked because we went to celebrate my mom and we all ended up leaving hungry and annoyed.

They offer a large variety of proteins and toppings in their poke bowls as well as hot appetizers like gyoza, rangoons, egg rolls, and tempura. I typically order a Large Bowl with five toppings to split with my mom. We get the creamy shrimp, spicy scallops, octopus, and double salmon. The bowls are absolutely huge. I'd say the bowls are about three inches deep, and it's not just rice filling them! They are very generous with their toppings and don't shy away from loading them up with the seaweed salad and imitation crab too. They offer a bunch of sauces and mayo dressings that add a bunch of flavor. I also really enjoy their Kani Salad! It is a large portion that packs a lot of flavor. I always order ahead and the mean is finished before I arrive! I would say though that they are not the most consistent. Sometimes the octopus pieces are super hard and it grosses me out. One time they put ahi tuna in my bowl instead of the salmon. A few times they didn't include the sauce topping on my bowls. The interior of the restaurant is not the cleanest. There were some areas, especially around the drink fountain that look like the haven't been deep cleaned for a while. Regardless, none of these are major issues that would turn me away from eating there again.
