Reviews for Olive Garden
The food is great. The prices are good and the people are friendly. The place and very clean. The wait to get a table durning dinner can be long. But worth the wait it is.

Olive Garden is a terrible restaurant. Theyre food is terrible. Close to Chef Boyardee range. The amount of food is poor. The staff is pushy and unhelpful.

Olive Garden has always been a favorite, with their endless salad and breadsticks, it is hard to resist. This particular Olive Garden is especially nice ebcause of its architecture and decor. The building is stone, with a true Italien villa feel. The food of course is corporate and lacks that home made feel, but always pleases. The waitstaff can be overburdening and sometimes pushy, especially on busy nights.
PROS: Decor and location
CONS: corporate, pushy waitstaff, wait times
