They have good food but the wait for a table at dinner is usually very long. You have to really love their food to be willing to wait an hour to get a seat. More

it's a normal Olive Garden with consistent food and service. We generally try to come here when in the area. It's always crowded, though, and yuo need to arrive before 5pm on the weekends to avoid a huge line More

Life is way to short for chain restaurants. That being said, why you would every wait 20-60 minutes to eat at one is way beyond my ability to mentally process. There is almost always a locally owned, cheaper, higher quality Italian-American restaurant within1-5 miles of all Olive Gardens. Save your money, dignity, and time by seeking them out. More
