My wife and I are visiting Waterloo from the Quad-Cities, so we are very familiar with Olive…read moreGarden. We were very unhappy with our server, Ben, who had shoulder-length hair, all the way around. Everytime he was at our table he took his hand and put it in hair to get it out of his eyes. He did this frequently. He also let it hang when he bent over to put cheese on our salad or soup. We were lucky no hair got in our food. I am a former fast food restaurant manager, so I know about food service sanitation. He should've had his hair tied back and out of face so he wouldn't have to put his hands in his hair then handle our food. I brought this to the attention of the manager, who should've been aware of this and trained Ben not to do this. I'd be wary about going to this Olive Garden with their food sanitation practices.

Started off with horrible service. When we walked in the hostess had been in the restroom. A lady…read moreup front says to us "there's a small wait while we clean the tables" then walks away to never be seen again. Hostess comes out, other ladies up front doing end of night prep. After about 10 minutes of waiting a family walks in and the hostess seats them immediately (no reservation). We ask why we are still sitting there and the hostess says "I'm so sorry no one told me you were waiting nor wrote you down".... Thankfully the service got much better after that. Our server was very pleasant and apologized again for the rough start. A manager came over to get details of our troubles and apologized. Breadsticks and 5 cheese dipping sauce was good. The soup was yummy. The main dish of manicotti and three meat was amazingly good. One odd thing was my raspberry lemonade came out warm lol, the pitcher and glass must have just came from dishwasher because it had ice, it was just very warm to drink. We shall return for more Italian goodies.

Stopped in on a Saturday around 12:30 and just beat a moderate rush of customers. Our food was…read moreprepared quickly and was tasty. The employees were doing all they could to keep things moving, but there were only 2 of them, which I'm guessing is the result of the current labor shortage. Even with that, they were keeping up OK. There were plenty of tables available in the dining room, with small stacks from previous diners still on the table (they clear for you), so not really a problem. Our food was very hot and fresh, and they add seasoning that is very tasty. I'd just had a similar sandwich a few days prior at a full-service bar, and this one was leaps and bounds better.

So far this is top of our list. So many options and so much food is provided at such a small cost! The food is FANTASTIC! Didn't even need to ask for extra sauce as plenty was given, but ended up using the extra that I ordered for the bread. The perfect way to describe this food is adult sized public school lunch. If you did not like the spaghetti and bread at school you probably won't like it here, but it brought me back to nostalgic school lunch and I am ALL FOR IT!!!!! CHEESE BREAD IS A MUST!!!! Can't wait to make this a weekly place to visit! Thank you so much to the staff for also getting this completed quickly! You rock! -The Ridenstein's

All that for 12.99!! The salad was nothing great, but the lasagna was really good especially when paired with their garlic bread!

No complaints (except the salad) and would def go back.

There is nothing that gets me quite as excited as piling up heaping bowls of meat, noodles, and veggies and cooking them with the HuHot sauces/oils. I've never left a HuHot location unsatisfied and the Cedar Falls location was no exception. Service and ambiance are always great, and I'm lucky that I'm accompanied by the best company whenever I come here. Lots of memories and great conversations had in the booths of this restaurant!

We do love Hu Hot. Our servers have been really good the many, many times we have been there with…read moreour kids and grandkids! Tonight we actually had an exception. I will preface this with the fact we found out it was her 3rd shift as a hostess/ server here. Grace and understanding applied for that...and they saved a star by the way they removed us from her server duties and spent time going over the SHOULD HAVE BEEN 'non-issue' she had turned into an awkward situation for all. I have family in town from out of state visiting us as I am battling inoperable stage 4 cancer. We recommend Hu Hot saying they are always good! Our servers have always been fast and friendly! Our server came and she introduced the process and 'one bowl' rule to our visitors. (All in late 70's and 84 yrs old and never been to a Hu Hot) I have never had them push that ONE BOWL rule except on the sign. But...ok. Asked about drinks and I asked for a bowl of lemon wedges for all the waters then ordered drinks. My aunt opted for just water, I ordered an ice tea, wife ordered a lemonade then my uncle said, very clearly, "ice tea please" and my aunt said "me too, I will have the ice tea". All 5 of us were very clear on what was ordered. She dropped off 1 ice tea, 1 lemonade and 3 waters and the lemon slices. We noticed 2 missing ice teas NO BIG DEAL! EASY FIX! and I told my wife we would just flag her down. A different server came by and I asked for the 2 missing ice teas. He said "Sure! I will let your server know". The original server came back and set down 3 ice teas on the end of the table and said "Here's the 3 ice teas but you said 3 waters! But I will replace them anyways". Very rude tone! Our jaws actually dropped and 3 of 5 of us all spoke up and said "nobody ordered 3 waters and we all heard ice teas. She walked off in a 'whatever' manner and we all stared at each other in a bit of shock. Really!!! Mad at us because she messed up the order we all heard?? Wife went up to the same server at the bar to make sure we weren't charged for the 4th tea and explain that we ordered what we wanted...in a very calm tone. Server said "I don't like the way your talking to me and am getting a Manager! Mind blown again. The assistant Mgr came out and had a good , calm, intelligent talk at the table (learned it was her 3rd shift) and they made adjustments in the staff to get us a server we could talk to who did a great job. The food, (good as always)second server and assistant mgr earned the 3 stars. Really do NOT know what this young lady is going through in life...plus a new job...so Grace and possible extenuating circumstances mindset applied. I do hope it's not as bad as inoperable stage IV terminal cancer. . Even fighting THAT, I can't be that intolerably rude. We do pray she finds a peace that allows her to answer a Mis-heard order with a "Sorry about that! I'll be right back with your _______ ." Or something friendly like that! We will adjust our statement made while suggesting Hu Hot to my family and friends in the future to saying "The food is always good and the service is ALMOST always fast and friendly". Thanks assistant mgr and Hu Hot staff that worked through this SHOULD HAVE BEEN "non-issue". We will be back! Just really careful on server selection! God Bless! I do hope the server finds a silver lining in this situation.
