What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Olive Garden offers a generally pleasant dining experience with popular staples like breadsticks and soups, often complemented by friendly service. However, some diners have noted inconsistencies in food quality, with occasional disappointments regarding specific dishes or preparation. While many appreciate the value and atmosphere, a few have reported issues with service attentiveness or dish execution.
"It was fun! We missed Valentine's Day, so went the next day. The place was flooded with teens headed to the Turn-About dance at one of the local schools. Teenage vibes are always exciting!
We ended up seated at a "high table" at the bar instead of a traditional booth or table. Again, a new experience. The manager was in and out repeatedly, checking we had everything we needed. We definitely did. Service was great!
The only downer to the entire experience was a man seated near us who didn't seem to think he was getting enough (or fast enough) attention. I feel so sorry for the lady with him. He obviously was making everything harder for our servers on a day that was already slammed. So, we said a little prayer for him, for them, and padded that tip!
Do remember to get the app and put yourself on the wait list. By doing that, we were seated within 15 minutes. One young man who came in at the same time we did was told there was an hour wait. It is worth your time!"

"The staff is always friendly and accommodating. On a couple occasions our order was not as requested and they were quick to remedy the situation. The price point is reasonable especially with kids menu age children. The atmosphere is what you expect from a large commercial dining establishment, clean, little noisy with conversation but not obnoxiously so. The food was great and well portioned."

"We always enjoy Olive Garden! But today was the best experience we have had, eating here. Our waitress, Dallas is exceptional and it was our pleasure to have her. She check ins were the most perfect timing I have ever experienced.
Thanks Dallas for what you do, how good you are at it and how genuine you are."
