Insider Pages Reviews for Olive Garden
Me and my family frequent the Olive Garden about twice a month and simply enjoy the atmosphere, service, and food we receive. I do not enjoy where it is located due to all the parking problems, but overall it is worth it. Not really a place you want to take young children, this is more an adult place to go. If you are seeking a nice evening out, then go here for a great experience.

No, I disagree with the previous review. Everyone needs a job. It doesn't matter if your a college student, fixing to turn 70 or somewhere in between. I'm not there to visit with the people or admire the corporation, I'm there for the food, service, and the experience with family and friends. I have never had a problem with this place since it opened. The food is delicious, the service is good, and the experience is good. Obviously the prior review had a bad day. Sorry. Go there again and I'm sure they'll make you smile.

the olive garden sucks, the people are fake and the food sucks! They act like its a five star restaurant, when really its a step above fast food!!! They're fake college students working for there bar money! They need some REAL people working there and better management. In conclusion save your money from this corporate b.s!

I love Olive Garden. The food is wonderful and the atmosphere is great. This is a great restaurant for the whole family. Our family always heads here when guests arrive. It is also great to take home. The only thing that I would recommend is that they bring back the cannelloni

Oh, to eat here, is an almost heavenly experience. I have eaten at other Olive Garden's but this one has a special extra ingredient added. It might be the customer service or the extra care of the management. Whatever it is, it's mmm good.
