    Service was good. Ambiance is always clean and social with a nice atmosphere. Good music playing. Owner greeted many of the guest while dining. Which was a nice touch. Food great. Fresh! Classic $9.49 Potato Soup. Harvest Salad $8.59.

    Ordered my favorite asian sesame salad here for lunch. Service was fast and friendly. I've noticed that their servings are getting smaller and smaller. Bowl used to be piled high with veggies but this one was a little lackluster. It still tastes good though.

    I ordered on my lunch I ordered the 2 half sandwiches for me and a coworker. Hers was delicious she said but mine which was the bacon turkey brvo was way too salty I asked for some sea salt I was looking for like salt and pepper, but I didn't expect it to be full of salt. So much so I couldn't eat it. Which sucks but next time I won't add it

    Half filled salad with no dressing
    Sol Y.

    Ordered a chicken Cobb salad and broccoli soup. For the salad, it didn't come with dressing and the bread comes with no butter, when I requested some, the employee rudely said "don't have any!". Salad costs $16.00 and was half way filled. Terrible customer service totally deserves 0 star. Customer service is key when it comes to food service and I can see this store closing in the near future.

    French onion soup

    Ordered a French onion soup and was given a half cup of soup with no cheese or croutons.

    Mac & Cheese and Southwest Chicken Ranch Salad

    I just got braces recently so eating anything has been pretty difficult but the 2 for 1 came in clutch. I got a salad and some mac and cheese. Unfortunately every time I eat here I usually leave with an upset stomach but it tastes good going down at least lol.

    chicken bacon rancher and italiano sandwich

    Very very clean, the sandwiches I received were made with so much love I could taste it. I will definitely be coming back to town for this specific staff and location, they are all really helpful and nice and full of heart.

    They run out of menu items early and remove them from the menu every night. Other than that food tastes great.

    With the exception if maybe two people, they are a very unfriendly staff. As far as the product it's the same as any other panera.

Everything from the sandwiches to the pasta comes in huge portions and tastes amazing. Their happy hour is honestly one of the best around -- great quality beers with plenty to choose from, and they even serve them in ice-cold mugs, which makes such a difference. They also have plenty to choose from, plus solid non-alcoholic options at really good prices. They're doing $3 mimosas for Mother's Day Sunday (hopefully that becomes permanent because that's a steal). Happy hour runs from 3-7 every day except Sunday. One of my favorite parts is the atmosphere. The shaded patio makes it comfortable even during the heat, and the whole place has this cozy backyard vibe that makes you want to stay awhile. The owners are super personable and actually take time to connect with their customers, which makes the experience feel welcoming and genuine. Definitely worth checking out if you want great food, good drinks, and a laid-back spot with people who genuinely care.

The flavor was solid, no complaints there, but the portion just didn't match the price point in my opinion. It felt smaller than what a $21 sandwich should look like. Not a bad experience overall, but I'm not sure it's something I'd pay that price for again.

We were hungry, irritated, and honestly debating just calling it a day. Enter Bella. From the moment she greeted us, the entire tone shifted. She was attentive, professional, and refreshingly competent. Drinks stayed full. Food arrived promptly and hot. She checked on us without hovering and made us feel genuinely welcomed. It felt like we had stepped into a completely different universe -- one where service still matters. Bella didn't just serve lunch; she salvaged the afternoon.

    When that little voice inside your head says, don't do it, and you do it anyway, you have no one to…read moreblame about yourself. Your girl was hungry and was running on fumes, and since I was flying solo, I decided to give Olive Garden a try. I haven't died in an Olive Garden for well over a decade because it's definitely not my vibe, but I recognize that things can get better than I thought it was worth a try. I had been to this location to pick up food for an event, but hadn't tried the food I figured this was my chance and I took it. Things I appreciate: You can order online, and they provide curbside service. This is perfect, especially for someone who is busy. They were very prompt in bringing the food out, and the gentleman that brought the food to the car was so super polite, that I had great hopes for the food. The lunch special comes with an entrée, a side salad or soup if you don't want the salad and breadsticks. From that standpoint, it's a pretty hearty meal and not about price point for the serving. The packaging of the food is pretty stellar. The salad lid has a groove in it so that the croutons and dressing are placed on the exterior of the lid, and the salad is kept as fresh as possible. Great idea! Things that went wrong: While I did check the box for napkins and utensils, utensils were provided, but no napkins were. Salad - a basic salad really should not be that challenging. Remember Olive Garden has built the reputation on salad and breadsticks. I'm about to dispel that. It thankfully was fresh, but the croutons are so salty that they're inedible. The dressing has lost its flavor profile and it's just mediocre at best. I ordered the lasagna and ended up adding on the three meatballs for an extra $4.95 with the intent of this being at least two meals. At first glance, the meatballs look un appetizing. When I picked one up, the size was actually larger than what it appeared to be and felt fairly tender. Looks were not deceiving. The meatball was absolutely horrible. It tasted like one would imagine compressed sawdust would taste like. Dry, flavorless, with an aftertaste that was just as bad. At this point, I can feel the frustration setting in, and decided to take a bite of the breadstick. The breadstick was hard, not warm, not anything other than sad want to be bread. My recollection of the breadsticks were that they were garlicky warm breadsticks, and it was a bonus that when dining in, there was an endless supply of them. These like the meatballs were completely inedible. They were too hard to bite into, which is not what a breadstick is supposed to be unless it's posing as a pretzel. Then came the moment of truth. The lasagna. I knew before I took a bite that I needed to completely lower my expectations based on what I had just tried, and managing expectations when one is hungry can be challenging. The lasagna was pretty much a goopy mess. I don't dislike it just yet because in my mind, this means melted cheese. It wasn't. It's just unstable lasagna. The lasagna is supposed to have a meat sauce, but I can tell you if there is any meat in that sauce at ran through it so that it would not be embarrassed by the end result. The lasagna is a poor excuse for what it is. It lacked flavor/seasoning, and frankly, this too was inedible. Would I recommend going to Olive Garden? Absolutely not. Because this is a chain restaurant, it's pretty much given that other locations are going to be this abysmal as well. The highlight of the entire experience was how polite the gentleman was that brought the food to the car, and the packaging of the food. This was a complete waste of $20 I absolutely loathe sad meals, and this meal was beyond sad.

Coming from the gal that works way too many hours volunteers way too much. It has a lot on your plate. So I don't eat a whole entire lot my appetite is always very strange so I definitely knew ordering the steak salad. I was going to have such a huge amount and would it be able to eat it all but thankfully, my husband was with me and he actually enjoyed it. I didn't tell him there was blue cheese on there because he did ask but I knew I added feta so I didn't mention it really and he didn't say anything so he must've really loved the dressing and everything else to not even notice it. I've always loved the inside of this place. It's big it's like the perfect lighting perfect open window windows and honestly the staff here always seems very pleasant and happy. I love that they have barqs root beer it is the only kind of drink. If you know you know root beer drinkers will tell you this is the best root beer that ever has been. So even if I'm not drinking soda if I happen to see it, I will get it. I'd definitely would love to figure out how I can order my salad personally for me at work downtown so that way I could order from here on DoorDash because it just seems like such a healthier option and so good in like filling it's not just healthy for you but it's like filling as well I don't know what dressing they exactly used, but it was perfect. I was able to ask for no cranberries in it and that's where I switched that out for the feta cheese. I was really happy overall I'll probably be back within the next week. lol

I heard it is still corporate owned and not franchised. Generally a plus for consistency. Overall...we had a very nice experience. All staff were extremely helpful and friendly. No attitude at all. What a concept. Feeling welcomed into a place you don't mind patronizing. Ambience was also very pleasant and clean. Most of us wanted to re-experience their unlimited salad bar. So how was it? It was exactly what it was almost 10 years ago. I don't recall any major wilted items and most cold items seem fresh. From various lettuce options, array of dressing options, a few house made salad concoctions, and yes a wide assortment of basic salad toppings that would satisfy any picky eater. Although their jicama did seem a little "tired" and seafood salad had too much dressing. Their hot section consisted of battered coated chicken wings, orange chicken, spaghetti and meat balls in a rich not watery sauce, 4 different soup offerings, and a taco bar with all the possible toppings. Their wedge style potatoes did need to be replaced and was probably the worst item there. But for under $20 for an unlimited sale bar...not bad. Three other members of our party did order sirloin steaks and all were very happy with their grilled options. They didn't rave about their steaks but also didn't have any concerns. So i would categorize that as successful. I didn't take any food pics but did want to take pics of their menu since i couldn't locate any updated versions. Would I return- yes
