Came here on valentines and on a random saturday when they werent busy and me and the guest(s) were brought RAW FOOD. It was COVERED IN THE SAUCE and im the type of person to mix things and look at what I eat and I'm glad I did. I ordered the seafood scallop pasta and there was a COMPLETELY RAW SCALLOP in my bowl mixed in with everything. We reported to the manager, which was the same exact MANAGER WITH PINK HAIR on both occasions of raw food. I'm not blaming the manager specifically but something is not being watched properly or supervised properly. WOULD NOT GO HERE CHECK YOUR FOOD IF ITS FULLY COOKED. read more

This review is not about the food. It's Olive Garden it's always good! Salad is always fresh and entrees and enjoyable. Love the lighter plates options! Usual Olive Garden decor and set up! This location is in a college town and turnover must be high. Unfortunately, service was less than desirable. We've been going to this location at least twice a month for three years and it was the first time we were asked for our ID, we are in our late 50's and early 70's. That was the start of its. Thanks I appreciate it, but really we don't look that young. We are never in a rush, we like to relax. Horrible when you get one bite of your salad and your dinner arrives. Not the server's fault, but the kitchen needs to read tickets to give people a chance. Love that we were asked several times if we wanted a salad refill, ummm no I didn't have a chance to enjoy my salad before I had to eat my meal so it didn't get cold. If you need extremely fast service and are in a rush, head here!! read more

First off I haven't been to an olive garden restaurant in many years. I want to say the very best part was our server Trina R. She was so pleasant and nice it made the meal even better!! The food was as good as I had remembered. Myself, I love the salad lol. Yes, I ordered spaghetti and fettuccine (to go). My gr had the calamari. It goes without saying the bread sticks are about as good as any restaurant. Lastly!! Trina R! You did an incredible job and I would go back for no other reason that to hope we had you as a server again!! My gf was just as pleased!! read more

Our third time back and you all were excellent again! Our server Josh was excellent! Food, excellent! We'll definitely be back for a fourth visit, maybe more! read more

Walked in ordered soup, salad and bread sticks and they say it will be 20 minutes. When asked why it takes so long and the response is we don't have any orders or it would be 30 minutes. It's 9:20 at night and staff was talking in the front lobby. Not impressed at all!!!! read more

Let me just say, I've never been more impressed with a restaurant than with yours. No waiting in line time, very friendly hostess and genuine and kind waitress. The food arrived at an impressive pace and to top it off, free tiramisu for my husband's birthday! Olive Garden made us feel right at home. We'll be back for sure! read more

What more than can you say about unlimited Soup & Salad! The service was outstanding, and the ambiance was as you would except from this classic franchise! read more

Came here with a very unadventurous crowd for lunch and was not disappointed. We got seated quickly and our server, Shayanna, was on point. The complementary wine when we were seated was also a nice touch. Not sure if it was a lambrusco but it was very sweet like a more sophisticated grape juice with a slightly carbonated taste; definitely a crowd pleaser, even for those that don't like wine. The Lunch Duos with unlimited bread sticks and choice of unlimited salad or soup was a pretty good deal for the food, though I have to say you're paying more for the soup /salad than the actual entrée. Grilled Vegetable & Cheese Piadina - essentially a American Italian inspired quesadilla. Pretty tasty but also pretty small. Hubby had to supplement it with 3 bowls of soup to feel satisfied. Would get again. Zoodles Primavera - Definitely a dish that is trying to hard to be healthy. Was expecting something light and refreshing with all the veggies but the excessive amount of oil and seasoning kind of killed it. Would not get again. read more

Amazing food, amazing service, would 100% recommend Mara as a waitress. I can confidently say she's the best waitress I have ever had.

I dined at this Olive Garden location the other night; as I was staying at a hotel across the street from the restaurant. I hadn't been to an Olive Garden restaurant in about a year or so. But I decided I would try this location. Service was great, and my waiter was really attentive and nice, his name is Jonathon Z. Per my receipt. But he was very welcoming, and just had a pleasant demeanor. So kudos to him! I ordered Stuffed Mushrooms, and Baked Ravioli w/Italian Sausage added, which was of course accompanied with salad and breadsticks. All of the food was good, and I had leftovers. I frequent the hotel across the street often for work purposes, so whenever I come back to Mt. Pleasant, I will keep Olive Garden in mind! read more

We had to ask 10 times for bread sticks and It took 45 minutes. I was also given a dirty salad plate and didn't get a replacement. We had a breadstick eating competition to fight for and did not receive any until we asked at least 4 times. This is outrageous. Also our waitress was passive aggressive. read more

seems like the Olive Garden is losing its appeal.Years sago, it was a classy place to go for a meal.Now, prices are much higher, service reminds me of being in a sports bar...rush rush.Maybe its because I am a great self taught cook that knows "italian", and I make all "their soups better than they do"...But this place we no longer even go too...They need to go back to the way "Olive Garden was 15 years ago...Oh, another thing...They sell you "soup and salad...all you can eat...But they put the soup in half filled bowls and you "have to look for the goodies in it"...Then the waitress disappears for 15 minutes and you can't find them when you want a second bowl...Same with the endless salad bowl...a "half filled bowl for 3 people? With two grown guys at the table, thats empty in ten minutes...Fortunatly, I make their soups(all of them at home...At least we get full! lol read more

I placed an online catering order for Lasagna for 12, super salad, and 32 breadsticks. Pickup was quick and easy. All food was packaged to keep warm in oven. Spatulas, tongs, along with a bottle Olive Garden dressing and quality plates, bowls, and cutlery were all provided. The food was all delicious and it could easily served 3-4 more people. I will definitely use this service again! Thank you Mt. Pleasant Olive Garden! read more

I got food poisoning after eating their shrimp alfredo. Could have also been their sausage and potato soup but I doubt it. Thought I had covid until I went to the doctors and this was the last thing that I ate. Watch out eating here. read more

Jaron was an amazing server, he was so friendly and efficient with our food and drinks and overall just a wonderful human being. I would go back strictly for Jaron. read more

I got the shrimp alfredo and it was good! The rest of the food was lovely as well. The wife and I had a great night out coming to Olive Garden and I'll absolutely be coming here again. Our waiter Cade was excellent, always making sure we were taken care of and quick with the service. Bathrooms were a little dirty, though and there was no soap when I went to wash my hands! read more

For the area this was a decent place the dish I ordered was tasty and very filling. The service was very good. The restrooms could be cleaner. We met a large group of people and everyone enjoyed their meals. We had not been in an Olive Garden in sometime. This one was nice. read more

It took me four years to try this Olive Garden because I don't like the one in my home town, but now I am SO glad I did! We decided to come here for a Sunday dinner and I decided to get the stuffed chicken Marsala. It was absolutely delicious; it was cheesy, flavorful, and served very hot. Additionally, my server, Sam M., was incredibly attentive and friendly. I have never had such a good wait service where I had no need that was not met. Will definitely be back! read more

to call this places service friendly would be an abomination. my boyfriend and i were celebrating his birthday and wanted to go to olive garden for the yummy food and dessert. when we arrived at olive garden, we weren't greeted friendly, and got sat with a terrible waitress named Ellie. Ellie didn't crack any smiles and didn't even speak to us when getting our refills. she just grabbed the glasses, didn't ask if we wanted a refill, and then silently came back with them. our plates were freezing and filled with water, and she gave me such a weird look when i asked for lemon on the side. after multiple piles of dishes were sitting at the end of our table, almost an hour later, the end of the meal came, and she didn't even tell us how to pay or explain the dessert menu to us. my boyfriend mentioned it was his birthday, and asked for a dessert menu. Ellie didn't even say happy birthday, she just pointed to the tablet and said "it's on there." like, you can't even say happy birthday?? she brought us the dessert, didn't say happy birthday or anything at all, and left the dirty dishes STILL at the end of the table. then while we are trying to enjoy the little bit left of our dessert, some random waiter came up to us. he wasn't a manager or anything, and asked us if we liked Ellie's service because he was just (and i quote) "nosy." what the hell? i felt as this was some sort of set up or spy mission. my boyfriend and i won't be coming back to this olive garden, and certainly felt uncomfortable the whole time there. if you want to go to this olive garden, i guarantee you'll have; 0 smiles, 0 conversation, and an 100% dirty table the whole time. so much for great service. read more

I am not sure why the lasagna is a dollar more than the ravioli when the ingredients are pretty much the same? I didn't like the 4.29 for a raspberry lemonade and 9 bucks for a piece of cake. No wonder they don't put the prices of the desserts on the kiosk. And then they want a 18-22% tip. Come on. read more

very bad customer service. never got refills and when we did they were wrong with our drinks. they never brought our bread sticks and salad when we asked for them. read more

04/26/2020 Called and ordered buy one get one really did not know how this worked but the waitress explained it very well went to go pick up the order and of course parked in the front which was the wrong place that was where you gave your order I asked the person and they told me to park in the handi capped section and they will bring out the orders when you order they ask your car make and color. Got my order and the food was GREAT!! read more

My experience here was AMAZING. Our server Maddi was literally the best server ever. She was so nice and SO SO funny. She took the best care of us and I'm going to come here again literally just for her, she's the best. If you ever come here ask for Maddi you will have the best service you've ever received. read more

There online wait list is a joke. We did the waitlist said 30-35 mins it counted. When we got to number 3 on list we went in and got told our name is now on list and it would be 45 to hour wait after we already waited 1 hour. read more

Love the soup and salad lunch deal. Less than $20, tip included, a pair can eat a great meal. Most of the menu seems a bit steep in price. I don't know if I can distinguish between $5 and $12 spaghetti. read more

Visiting from Rochester Hills to meet family. Arrived at12:30 with 7 adults and 2 small kids. We were seated with in 10 mins. Server was quick to bring us drinks, bread and salads. He gave ample time to scan the menus, then took our orders. The food was served in a timely manor. One pasta entrée was less than hot so it was quickly replaced and taken off our bill by the manager. All enjoyed the meals and our server is to be accommodated for his efficient and orderly service for our big group. Thanks Olive Garden !! read more

We have been to this olive garden several times, and have always been extremely happy with both are food and the wait staff..

Food was great, as always. I've never had a problem with Olive Garden servers or any other part of the staff. However, this time was different. Our server, Nate, made my entire table of 6 extremely and visibly uncomfortable. His comments were extremely rude, snarky, and just mean. My entire party was so uncomfortable during our meal we ended up boxing everything up and leaving early. Nate was very untimely (it took him 15 minutes just to get us our drink order) and never once actually served us our appetizers, meals, or refills. This was always done by another staff member, and on 2 occasions, by a manager. He was very inattentive and very pushy with a distasteful sense of humor and an inability to read the room. Will definitely go back to Olive Garden again, but will be sure to request that Nate is not our server. read more

Stopped in on Homecoming night and had outstanding service! Curtis H. did an amazing job with our party of 4!

The red cheese sauce tasted like Luke warm tomato soup.. even after we attempted to doctor it up.. great service and professional staff, just the red sauce needs more into it then it has. read more

The service at this Olive Garden location is so so. The last two times I went the hostess were not very cherry. In fact the last time we went, we asked how long the wait was and they answered then went on to do something else. So we had to stand there and awkwardly wait to put our names down for a table. Out waitresses are usually alway nice however our drink order has been messed up before. It's not so bad that I won't go there again however it is enough to be frustrated with the service. read more

If you know much about Olive Garden, you know that it is probably one of the most inconsistent chains from location to location. This one opened up a little over 2 years ago, which made me pretty happy because the local restaurant conglomerate (LaBelle Management, which has recently sold of all its food related holdings) fought tooth and nail to keep them out. They felt it would crush their Italian restaurant (the Italian Oven), which is idiotic because they are just too different to be considered competitors, and I have been proven right since Italian Oven continues to flourish. Anyway, for the first year, this location was HORRID. Crappy service, and a comical inability to do anything correctly. BUT, it appears to have finally found it's feet! Service is generally about a 8/10, the food is about a 8/10 (in relation to other Olive Gardens), and all the other little wrinkles seem to have disappeared. The owner Kimo seems to take pride in the place and is pretty much guaranteed to stop by your table to see if everything's going well. As long as they can keep the train rolling like this, I'll keep coming! read more

Sitting in the bar .. as we trying to have lunch and all the servers are looking at us like we have 2 heads because are eating where they want to stand and talk. As we're getting our food there is 6 employees sitting at a table behind us talking about their dirty shoes how they stink so bad they have their separate room .. as well as their clothes mean while the manager is sitting with them giggling. There went my appetite. Thanks for Kayla doing an awesome job serving read more

This is your average chained Olive Garden. everything is mediocre.

At this Olive Garden I received literally the greatest service I have ever received. I didn't even believe that service this enthusiastic and positive was possible, but James provided service exceeding my dreams while still not be too overwhelming or overbearing. I would describe his presence as akin to having a guardian angel. My needs were fulfilled before I even knew I had them. Just as Captain America was bred to be a super solider, it seems as though James was bred to be a new breed of super waiter. I felt cared for like I never have before. When you're here, you're truly family. read more
