  I was close to giving this place a 5, but you shall see why in a second.
  They missed the mark on ONE thing, but it is a HUGE thing.
  
  INSIDE - impressively done, and very clean
  SERVICE - everyone from the host, to Manager to Waiter were very good
  MENU - OG does a great job, huge selection, lots of cool stuff
  PRICE - great value
  FOOD - everything was good to great EXCEPT last item
  Breadsticks - brought fresh
  Soups - were very good, always are
  Pasta - excellent as well
  Calzone - was good, not amazing
  Mixed Grill - this costs them two stars.  The chicken that they used is
  ghetto chicken, like rubber.  Not inedible, but for $18 I would expect
  that they can use fresh, higher quality chicken.  Reason they get a
  3 stars is that this had to be either a Corporate Sourcing decision
  or one made by the store.  In either case, I want them to understand
  this KILLS all the other things you hit a home run on.  For another 50
  cents, you could improve the quality of this dish.
  
  Sorry, those of us who eat out 50-60 times a month know poor food
  and what causes it.  Keep it up, and you will get to read more of that
  on Yelp.  And to buy ghetto chicken in chicken country, that is embarrassing.

  You know, I've been here now several times for lunch. I just have to remember to ask for REAL lettuce in my salad. Great atmosphere... guess I got used to it. A little pricey for any other meal... unless it's a special occasion. REALLY REALLY miss the REAL bread they used to serve with the olive oil. I can get that at a favorite restaurant in Attleboro... or at home. 'Breadsticks'... YUK.

  This Olive Garden is not very good.  I understand it is a chain restaurant and that the staff most likely do not cook 50% of the food that is served, and just simply heat it up.  However tonight was beyond disgusting.  My chicken Alfredo was so oily I had to clean it up with a napkin.  It was not creamy and smooth, like other Olive Gardens.  It was disgusting.  The cheese fondue was nothing more then an oily glop of cheese.  It was obvious it was reheated or microwaved it most certainly was NOT fresh in any manner.  The bread sticks were cold and chewy.  The silverware was dirty as well as one of the plates had food stuck to it.
  There was two good things about the night.  Our server was friendly and when she was not available, the other staff members offered (we did not ask them) to fill our drinks.  That is amazing customer service, and the wait staff should be commended for working as a team to make the customers as happy as possible (it is not their fault the food was over cook microwaved dog food).  The soup was nice, I guess you can not mess soup up so it was very good.
  This is by far the worst Olive Garden I have ever had a meal at.  I will be writing to corporate about this restaurant.  This is the third time the food has been disgusting (I only went the last two times because I was a gust of my party).  Avoid it at all cost and eat at another Olive Garden or Italian eatery.

  Sub par dinning expeience. Meal actually took ONE HOUR to arrive (timed it), and once arrived, it was evident it had been sitting under a heat lamp. Edges were crusty and pasta was dry. Servers were great though!
