Reviews for Olive Garden
This Olive Garden is pretty new and we found it very clean and well laid out. The decor was better then most Olive Gardens we have visited (and there have been many). The service was great and prompt. Out entrees were hot, fresh and well presented. We will definetily make this a repeat stop on our lunch list. One additional note, for us the lunch size portions are large enough, so on weekends, although they do not show the lunch menu, you can still order the lunch size.
PROS: Clean restaurant with great service
CONS: Can have wait for seeting on weekends

The employees are very friendly and they give you time to decide what you want while serving you a drink and they space the timing of the salad, main course and dessert so you have time to enjoy your food and your company.

I have never been to this resturant without having to wait in line. It seems as though no matter what time of day it is or what day of the week it is, there is always a wait. Even so, the food is DELICIOUS, prices are average for a nice sit-down dinner, and the service is good.
The all-you-can-eat soup,salad and breadstick lunch for $6 is such a great deal - and SOOOO good!
If you're gonna go to this location, be patient, the food is worth the wait.

I have been to several Olive Garden's in the area, and have loved them all. The food is fantastic! The service is always excellent. The wait staff very friendly and professional. My only disappointment is when they discontinue some of my favorite dishes. They often have an extended wait to get a table, but it's worth waiting for. I highly recommend them!
Pros: Fantastic food, great service, reasonably priced
Cons: wait time, menue changes
