"always a great experience at this location. Service is great and very friendly. Food is always hot and fast. Never had a bad experience here. I have been to many other Olive Garden restaurants and this one is leaps and bounds ahead of the others."

"Hadn't been able to post this due to busy schedule, but went here after not for so long and was amazing. Had been sick so I hadn't eaten much, but it made me really happy to eat some good food, our server was polite and quite easy to get along with. I can't remember his name, but he was a very sweet, young gentleman. Thank y'all so much."
Destany Alvarez
"Huge shout out to our server Bonnie R. It was my family’s first time out in months, although our table was hectic with babies (3 under 3) she was very attentive, patient, understanding, and sweet. Food was good as usual, but again thank you Bonnie!!"
