Olive Garden Italian Restaurant in Indiana

"Excellent Olive Garden franchise. We came on a Monday for lunch and still had to wait 10-15 minutes—their business is doing great, very popular here. Our server was full of smiles and everything ran smoothly. She was perfectly accommodating. The bathroom was clean and our dishes came out at a good temperature. The dishes were high sodium but some of that is to be expected."

"When we arrived at Olive Garden, we were kindly greeted at the door by Kevin. Once we were seated, we learned that our waitress was named Lilly. We experienced an excellent lunch at Olive Garden. We visited on a Monday for lunch. Our waitress was full of smiles and everything ran smoothly. She was graciously accommodating. She consistently reminded us that the food was served in dishes that were warm at the bottom, with the exception of the salad. There was an abundance of fresh food available. There was an abundance of joy on display by our waitress Lilly. She genuinely communicated in a way that showed that she enjoyed her job. Additionally, the restaurant bathrooms were clean, and so were the hallways leading up to the bathrooms."

"My boyfriend and I celebrated our 4 year anniversary at this location and I had the best night ever. Jocci was an amazing sever. He was so sweet, brought extra breadsticks when we were about to leave, and got us free desert for our anniversary. Jocci and Katie the manager made our night!"

"Came here some time ago after being BSed by a nearby restaurant for a date. Atmosphere was delightful, the food was delicious, and our waitress was a ROCKSTAR. I do not recall her name, but she mentioned she worked her other job that morning and had been on her feet all day, as well as being a newer hire to this establishment. She was insanely attentive and informative, despite how busy I'm sure it had been that day. My date and I tipped her over 50% and she gave us both a HUGE hug as we left. Ma'am, I don't know if you are still working here after 2 years, but please know you absolutely made our Valentine's Day"

"We had thee best dining experience for our anniversary here tonight. Each course of our meal was excellent. The portions were bountiful to say the least! Including the complimenary strawberry cream cake because our server Jana learned of our celebration. Jana was an absolute gem! So attentive, so kind and gave the "old friend" energy that we appreciated so much that we asked to speak to her manager Lisa about it. Lisa came to the table with the exact same energy filled with kindness and warmth. Despite being very busy, She chatted with us until we left with a very large bag of leftovers I might add. You can definitely feel the love from this place in these beautiful women with the sweetest of souls. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! ( Ask for Jana- you'll be well taken care of)"
