I had an online pick up order of the three cheese chicken penne and I order extra sauce and bruschetta and instead they gave me none of those this and just hgave me chicken with pasta and some cheese on top and they way they are tryna fix it is with a coupon…. I would have much rather they refund me or gave me some sauce so now I’m making homemade Olive Garden sauce to go with my pasta sorry but unfortunately I don’t want a coupon for the mistake also because I more than likely won’t go back.

It's Chef Microwave at best. Food is just bland and for people who don't care much about what they eat. The endless wings/ribs/shrimp deal looks great on TV but after the 3rd plate, the wings have little to no sauce and look disgusting. Ribs look like they were frozen and microwaved as well. Wouldn't recommend going unless you're absolutely desperate and have a gift card.

We stopped by after church for lunch. I had a delicious Cheeseburger with french fries and my husband had riblets and fries. We couldn't leave without both having a serving of their Cinnabon's and frosting! Talk about a sugar high!!! Wow was that delicious!!!

The food and service is consistently awesome. We love this restaurant and eat here often. So we were quite surprised when we stopped in for an early supper. The restaurant was empty, no one seated and everyone was crammed in to the entryway waiting. The hostess was just standing there staring at everyone. Not sure what was happening behind the scenes. She finally started seating people and a manager came up and asked her something and she loudly replied that she didn't know what to do and claimed that everyone was yelling at her. When it came time for me and my daughter to be seated, she gave me HARD eye contact. We followed her to our table and she literally FLUNG our menus across the table and didn't even stop. Very rude and unprofessional. Thankfully our server was very nice and the food was yummy.

Stopped in tonight to grab a Togo order. Cheeseburger and fries plus sample platter. Pretty yummy tho it was mostly breading for the boneless wings. Excellent sweet honey BBQ sauce tho. Delicious fries.
