    We stopped at Olive Garden while headed back home on I 95 north to eat something other than fast food for a change. It was just half mile off the exit near airways avenue. The restaurant parking lot was almost full so we assumed there would be a wait. I ran in to check before getting the family out of the car and as I walked up there was a nice hostess that greeted me, holding a tablet she advised of no wait. Once we were sat, it didn't take long for our server to come and bring us bread and take our drink orders, she was very friendly and checked on us often. The dining area was spotless with no stickiness on the table and no food debris on the floor. There was a manager walking around checking on everyone, it seemed like they had a very efficient workflow. Our breadsticks came out immediately and they were not only hot but had a good amount of seasoning on them, very tasty. We started off with the calamari app that was crispy on the outside and tender within. The Calamari came with a tasty mayo based zesty dipping sauce. For my main dish I went with the herbed salmon with steamed broccoli which I shared with my wife, not a huge portion, but normal plus we didn't wanna be over stuff for driving long distance so It was perfect. When we told the server that we were sharing our main dish and splitting the soup/salad she brought us a separate bowl of gnocchi soup for each and made the salad large enough for our family to share. Our food didn't take long either, we had our main dish within 10 minutes. The salmon had a good balance of herb but not too salty and the butter wasn't overpowering either. The broccoli was nice bright green and freshly steamed . Since we were driving long distance I was worried it would take long for a sit down restaurant but the entire experience took a little less than an hour. On the way out the floor manager gave us a friendly farewell. Clearly, this location is a great option for those traveling in the area to have a relaxing dining experience vs fast food.

    We stopped in on the early side of dinner to avoid sitting in traffic and were lucky enough to be seated immediately despite the packed parking lot. Our server was friendly and attentive. She ensured our salad portion was adequate for all without overdoing it. She checked in on us frequently yet wasn't overbearing. Considering how busy they were, we were prepared to wait but they beat my expectations. The manager was visible moving throughout the restaurant and whatever systems she had in place were working because the restaurant was functioning like a well oiled machine at top efficiency. The food was good but the chicken a gnocchi soup recipe has changed, in my opinion, and I think the lower sodium (I'm assuming) version isn't as good. The calamari was fried to perfection and the marinade was so delicious. The herb grilled salmon and broccoli was also executed perfectly. Overall, this Olive Garden delivered what I imagine first catapulted the restaurant into the popular chain it is today.

    Salad was so fresh and tasty!

    Parking lot was packed but we walked straight in with no wait. We were greeted and served within 5 minutes of sitting down. Food was fresh and amazing with not a long wait. My brother had a steak that was "better" than Texas Roadhouse. Our server Emma was very polite and friendly and made sure our drink were always filled.

    Olive Garden used to be one of the best places to eat dinner back in the day. The quality went down and I stopped going. My daughter and I decided to go for an early dinner because we love the Italian margaritas. The menu has changed a lot. I decided to do the make your own pasta. It's reasonably priced. You choose the pasta, the sauce and a topping. I got the Angel hair, mushroom cream sausa and broccoli. I was pleasantly surprised. It was delicious. My daughter got the five cheese ziti. She loves that one and said her was great. The salad was good. The server was great. She was right there when we needed anything. The prices have gone up but the serving size has too. One meal is large enough for two dinners. I'm definitely going to go back. Great job Olive Garden.

    I rated this location okay, but only because they serve the franchise's menu, so it's pretty hard to mess up the food. Although I tried 2 different soups and neither was good. The salad was good. The wait was long, the wait for a server was long, the wait for our apps was long, and the food delivery! I received my food before my 3 young grandchildren, now that can't be right. Our server wasn't rude, but wasn't friendly, either. Didn't check on us and didn't offer anything to assist or make our evening better. Managers must be visible and accessible in a restaurant like this, and servers must be trained. You have a franchise reputation to uphold, so please work at it.

The service was a little odd as each appetizer and entree came out at different times, one dish at a time and one appetizer after the entrees were all delivered. But the flavors were incredible and the service was friendly. Tom Kha Gai soup was excellent with a great coconut broth and the cup at $5.95 is huge, like a large cereal bowl. Spring rolls were great too and we loved the steamed Shrimp Rolls in a lemon teriyaki sauce. Two of us ordered the Nam Tok Beef Salad and it was amazing. My first time ordering this dish. It's similar to Laab/Larb but with beef instead of chicken. It was a tender flank steak, tossed with lettuce, cucumber, green onions and chilis. Choose your heat level, I went with spicy, just a step below the Thai spicy and it was just enough to make my nose run. You can also get it with zero spice, but that combo of hot beef, crisp cold vegetables, spicy, sweet, sour, crunchy and chewy. The pad see ew was also excellent and they bring you a few chocolates at the end of the meal. With all of the apps we were too full for dessert.

    The food at this location was okay, but the customer service really missed the mark…read more We specifically asked for a baked potato with ranch on the side, but when the food came out, the ranch was already on the potato. I pointed it out right away, and the employee responded, "I told them, but they didn't listen to me," and just walked off. No effort to fix it or take ownership. I ended up taking the potato back to the counter myself and asked for it to be remade. When it was brought back out, the gentleman who delivered it didn't say a word--no apology, no acknowledgment, nothing. What made it more frustrating is that the restaurant wasn't busy at all--we were one of only two tables there. Situations like this are easy opportunities to provide good service, and unfortunately, that didn't happen here

Even though it was a busy time, the service stayed friendly and the food came out in a reasonable amount of time. Overall it was a solid experience with good food, good service, and a convenient spot to grab a satisfying meal. I would definitely come back again when I am in the area.

    We had a chance to visit 912 Korean BBQ and hot pot last weekend. We were looking for something…read morecasual but filling for dinner and because we had not tried out this place yet but had driven by several times, we decided to check it out. Definitely a great decision on a hunch. This is an all you can eat hot pot concept and frankly my first time attending this version. While I have visited hibachi restaurants in the past, this is not that. Basically this is a dual table side prep concept where you can either make your own custom soups and broths, and hot pot seafood or you can select the grill and grill of a variety of fresh meats and fish and vegetables, or you can get both. Both come with a small dessert bar and seem to be accompanied with the additional Fresh salad and sauce bar, although I'm not quite sure if one of those may have been restricted if you did the grill only or the hot pot only. Pricing is pretty fair at about $30 a person which rises to mid 30s if you decide to get both options. We went with the combo because we had never tried this concept before, but in the future, I may lean more towards the grill option only. Especially if I'm not in the mood for hot pot or soup. But I definitely enjoyed the combination choice for our first visit. The meat and vegetable selections at this restaurant are pretty vast and this is after the server first sets you up and allows you to pick from several different types of broth for your hot pot. In addition, they have a sauce bar that must've had 20+ sauces available to choose from. I think one of the most overwhelming aspects of this concept is lack of familiarity with the right combinations of hot pot and grilled options. For this we leaned heavily on our server and she did a great job of guiding us through a couple of her favorite combinations, as well as some of the favorite combinations of other patrons. This was really helpful because there isn't a menu or chart to help you unlock all of the really cool combinations that you can put together including Ramen udon and Thai soup varieties. All of the ingredients you need to make any of those dishes, but in your own customize version, are here to your heart's desire. Service is really good as they do switch out the grills rather rapidly as they will get charred and start to burn and smoke after three or four rounds of fresh meats and veggies slapped on them. However, they do not switch out your broth choice so once you make your choice, that's what you're rolling with for the rest of the dinner. All in all we were really satisfied with the freshness and the preparation of most of the ingredients and sauces. I did think the dessert bar was a little weak given the multitude of options elsewhere, but I also understand that this is consistent with the cultural preferences, which don't skew as heavy on traditional sweets, like American taste do. All in all this is definitely a treat for those looking for a great date night or just looking to take the family out for a really engaging and tasty cook at your table experience - all you can eat style!

We walked into Georgia Comfort…read moreKitchen off I-95 on one of those gray, damp Georgia afternoons, and from the first bowl of gumbo, the weather outside stopped mattering entirely. We ordered off the menu rather than the buffet -- though both were available and the buffet looked well-stocked and genuinely tempting. My husband had the Shrimp & Grits: Georgia shrimp over stone-ground grits with andouille sausage, peppers, onions, bacon, and a sherry cream sauce. Rumor had it that was the move, and the rumor was right. The grits alone were the kind you don't stop talking about -- velvety, deeply seasoned, the kind of base that makes everything sitting on top of it taste better than it already is. I went with the fried catfish, a side of mac and cheese, and a bowl of gumbo. Honest take: the catfish itself was good -- the fish was fresh and well-flavored -- but the batter had gone a little soggy, which kept it from landing where it could have. That's the kind of thing that varies by timing, not kitchen quality. The mac and cheese, though, was exactly what you want: cheesy without being gluey, hot all the way through, properly indulgent. And the gumbo -- chicken and sausage, rich and built with patience -- was the best thing on my side of the table. On a rainy afternoon in coastal Georgia, it was exactly right. Then there was the cornbread, served with peach cobbler butter. That detail alone tells you something about how this kitchen thinks. It's not an afterthought. It completed everything around it. I'm not from the South, and I won't pretend to have a lifetime of comparison points. But there's a kind of food that makes you feel like you were born into it anyway -- like your body already knew what it was tasting. That's what happened here. Good for road trippers, families, rainy days, and anyone who needs a real meal after a long stretch of highway. Four stars, with the grits alone pulling hard toward four and a half.
