I've never been to Olive Garden until recently; yet I have to say I'm happy that I actually got the opportunity to go and experience the vibe for myself. The bread sticks were ok, perhaps the best part of the meal. The menu was a bit confusing.

One Olive Garden is pretty much like another... often busy, often way too much noise. The food is average and tastes like it came in a bag and was warmed up in a microwave. I would rather try a small local place.

My family and I have always experienced good customer service at this location, and the well-cooked fare of the Olive Garden chain. It's nothing special, but it is a nice place to have a good meal. The facilities are clean, there is enough parking, and it has a nice location.

for goodness sake, if one wants Italian, go to a real Italian restaurant. Not some disneyland version of Italy. ........... "we go there, cuz Dad really likes it." Well, Dad's the only one, because the rest of us are huffing tons of post as we gag the food on down.

This place is usually packed with hungry families, and hungry couples - which I find strange because the food quality is often lacking. Additionally, I have eaten here twice and have gotten very very sick. My husband also has a tough tummy and a great immune system and got sick after eating pork here. There are certainly issues of cleanliness... More

I needed a good lunch while trans-versing Iowa. On a cold winter day, this was a great choice. Service was excellent and a great lunch menu. I had the lasagna with grilled chicken, very good. Fueled with tasted coffee as well. Glad I stopped in for lunch.

Very good food, reasonably priced and the wait staff is generally first rate. Our entrees came with limitless soup and breadsticks, we ech had the chicken soup with little dumplings in it, very good. Our waiter was Chris P. a very likable and engaging young man.

I was staying at the Holiday Inn next door, so I walked over for a meal. The staff was polite and very fast service. I went for a new dish, stuffed chicken parm with roasted squash. The squash was a winner, the chicken had fresh herbs, a nice touch. But the biggest winner was the Malbec wine. Listed as new... More
