This particular Olive Garden isn't the closest to our home, however; we travel to this location because the staff is great, food always great, and the servers are very attentive. Worth the drive, thank you Olive Garden!

Food is great regardless of location. Service is hit or miss with location, but mostly very good with the right waitress... smiles and all. Depending on the crowd it may be loud at times... other times you can actually hear Dean singing.

The food was great. Went with my dad, step mom, and stepsister, and her family service was great. My dad ordered the salmon, but it was too salty that took it back and made him something else.

Food, drinks, and service were incredible. Our server was Danielle. She was kind, refills were quick, and she got my family and I soups to go without being asked. Absolutely wonderful. Happy to have celebrated my birthday there!
