I hadn’t been to Olive Garden in a couple of years and was somewhat disappointed with the ‘new’ garden…

Remember the Minestrone soup filled with delicious beans, vegetables & SOME pasta shells? Well, say goodbye to the veggie part and prepare to have pasta soup. Like seriously Olive Garden? You took the best parts and substituted the cheapest pasta available. It was 90% uninviting pasta.

Let’s not forget the Peach Bellini… I remember the beautifully frozen cocktail with the lovely swirls of color and flavors. Now we get a deconstructed drink that lacks the visual wow factor and is no longer served frozen.

And what happened to the atmosphere & ambiance? It’s cold and stark now. All the warmth is now gone and we are given minimalism.

All in all, the tastes were there but all the wonderful visuals are completely gone now. I wouldn’t recommend the Olive Garden to anyone these days.

The food is always good at any Olive garden. Glad to see never ending pasta is back. Our waiter was ok, not the best but differently not the worst we ever had.

It was a great restaurant very friendly employees great food not that much expensive great time . Very nice the employee that attended us she pack up our left over meal in a box to go

First off it seemed like they sat all the African American people in one section of the restaurant. All the Caucasian People on the right side of the restaurant.
Then we ordered breadsticks with our meals, and the first time they were rock hard so we sent them back, she returned with the second batch that seemed microwaved, then a third time we got them they were a little hard but soft in the middle. The Endless salad was Soggy, tasted like they bought it from a store 3 days ago. Even the waitress admitted the salad was from a bag. The tiramisu was frozen , you could taste the ice sickles melting in every bite.

I’m truly disappointed, the breadsticks used to be so hot under the napkin you couldn’t eat them when they first came out. The salad used to have a crunch to it bc it was so fresh. The best part was the cocktails & the Lasagna Frittata Appetizer. For $75 on my boyfriend’s birthday I expected better.

The restaurant was close to empty but there was still waits time. They advised there wasn’t enough waiters. Once seated they brought food and drinks in a timely manner. The only issue was the serving sizes were smaller even though the prices were higher and they were really stingy with the bread sticks. The plus was the waiter was really good and respectful and the AC was at a nice level

Good service, good food. There special today was crispy garlic chicken with rice. It has a lot of garlic, and we loved it! The sauce was so good. It went very well with the calamari sticks.

✭✭✭✭✭ By Victor N (8 months ago)

Great food and wonderful service! Definitely recommend Tuptim Thai for GREAT Thai food. The food and drinks came SO FAST, even though the restaurant was mildly busy. Our waitress was kind, attentive, and made the best recommendations.

The Pad See Ew was full of flavor.

The Panang Curry was so coconutty! I love spicy food and the medium heat was just enough.

The coconut sticks were so yummy, and the crunchy crunchy shrimp lived up to their name!

The Thai tea was decent, and the (in season) sticky rice and mango was a perfect way to end the meal. The mango was chilled, sweet and tart. The sticky rice was sweet, warm, and coconutty, just the way we like it!

✭✭✭✭✭ By Richard Cook (6 months ago)

This was my first time to the elegant Tuptim Thai restaurant. I enjoyed the Garden Soup with shrimp and it was filled with vegetables and was wonderful. I had the Pad Thai with chicken and it was expertly prepared and was a nice presentation. For dessert I experienced the super fresh mango and sticky rice . It was topped with coconut and had a sweet, warm sauce. Delicious! My server, Megan, was very attentive and made a couple of suggestions.

✭✭✭✭✭ By Suriya Bandara (in the last week)

Took my husband here for his birthday. Food was delicious although not as spicy as my husband would’ve hoped. They don’t have a kids menu, but my daughter tried the coconut chicken and enjoyed her meal.

✭✭✭✭ By Jetsy R (3 months ago)

Was hoping for some really good Thai food. The curries we ordered were so sweet we couldn’t begin to finish them. The yellow curry was even sweeter than the red curry. Not sure how that was even possible. We took the left overs home because of how pricey the meal was. Ended up throwing the leftovers away. Sad deal. A on plating of the food. F in the food taste.

So this weekend I went on a run-cation … one of the best experiences I engaged in. Running 3 half marathons in 3 days. It was not about the speed but rather the companionship and friendships we gain with this small group. Good news is with these trips across states, I get to eat from different restaurants. I actually end up over eating … need to watch that… hahaha but fun fun

Jason’s Deli … I had not eaten here in over 10 years. The place did not disappoint. Food, service and variety of food .. on point

✭✭✭✭✭ By Nana Turkson (7 months ago)

My second time here and my friends first time. Good, clean salad bar, big sandwiches and ginormous loaded baked potatoes!! 😍🤗 I took most of my potato home for a second meal it was so big.

✭✭✭✭✭ By Vicki Carey (11 months ago)

Best salad bar in town!! Always fresh and stocked. If you are looking for vegan or vegetarian options, this salad bar will not disappoint.

✭✭✭✭✭ By Jessica St Monica (2 months ago)

Service was fast. My Mother and I ordered the salad bar. We were both pleased our ceramic plates were cold for our salad. This kept our salads cool. and crisp making them taste very fresh. We enjoy trying their muffins. I am particularly fond of their variety of crackers.

✭✭✭✭✭ By Merry Matthews (2 months ago)

We went to have lunch usually there is a line waiting to order but we got right in. My daughter ordered all you can eat salad bar and I had the plain Jane potato. The salad bar used to have a large variety of items but it seems to have dwindled down to have of the items. The potato was as usual, a huge one with cheese, bacon and green onions. I did ask for no sour cream and extra butter, which I got no sour cream but no butter. Over all I think it is slightly over priced for what you get now.

Always a complete delight to visit Paneras. Take your pick and you’ll enjoy anything they serve!

✭✭✭✭✭ By Natalie Alamina (2 months ago)

We are long time Panera customers and we’ve experienced the good like this one and the not so good. We earned a discount on Pick 2 and I was confused about the invoice. Hannah, on the register, was neither annoyed nor defensive when I asked for an explanation. Later I heard some chit-chat from the kitchen team and it was clear they worked well together and respected each other. I complimented Will, the manager, for his leadership.
The Margareta and Sausage-Pepperoni flat breads were perfectly cooked and the salads were delicious. I added an additional tip for them to share as I complimented them all and said, “Keep up the good teamwork.” It was nice to see!

✭✭✭✭✭ By Stewart K (4 months ago)

Just ordered online, as instructed when I called in to ask if they have bread bowls online. When I receive my order, I was missing the soup to go in my bread bowl. I called to ask about it and they told me they could give me a refund or I could come in to get it. That defeated the purpose of me ordering online to have it delivered, and now I have bread for dinner with no soup. The manager stated there was nothing she could do except to do the refund or I could come get it. Again, defeats the purpose of ordering online and having it delivered. I would not recommend this Panera, as I’ve now seen other comments, they seem to forget food when doing online orders. I can’t post a photo because it wasn’t delivered.

Very FIRST time here. Showed up at 830pm and they made it very apparent we were not welcome to stay and eat. Which is fine I get it, whatever. The line cooks in the back were upset that we were ordering, as if we were causing more work for them than the job description stated that gained them willful employment. Not a single person would greet us or look us in the eye. They were all very unhappy people which made this an extremely unenjoyable experience. No sooner than we walked out the door they followed and locked the store nine minutes early. Spent thirty bucks and this photo is one of the two meals I purchased. So in turn between this sandwich and chips is a 15 dollar meal. Extremely upset and after thanksgiving I will to no avail stop calling until I find the owner of this establishment.

✭ By ADAM KEPNER (a month ago)

It’s the little things that really sets people apart. Without knowing it, the crew made my entire day with this simple note. They didn’t know it, but I just returned to town from my grandmother’s funeral and was still down about it. Then I saw the note left on the bag and it just immediately made me smile and feel a little bit better. Thank you.

✭✭✭✭✭ By Eraina Crisp (6 months ago)

This place is usually pretty decent but the food was extremely lacking this time. Everything was literally just thrown together and nothing to them. Here’s a picture of my son’s turkey and cheese.

✭✭✭ By Austin Bowman (a month ago)

It looks simple on the outside, but well decorated on the inside. The menu is a mix of sandwiches, soups and salads. The prices are similar to a Panera.
I ordered half a New Yorker (pastrami and corned beef) sandwich, a cup of broccoli cheese soup and Cinnabon stuffed cookies.
The bottom bread of the sandwich was absolutely soaked by the juices of the meat. The flavor was simple but tasty.
The broccoli cheese soup was pretty decent. The Cinnabon stuffed cookies were decadebt. Expensive ($3 for 2 cookies) but absolutely delicious.

12/20/22 excellent chicken salad and fantastic service by Andrew! Thank you! 11/15/22 A friend told me how good the chicken salad sandwich on croissant is- I tried it tonight. DELISH! Chicken salad is cold, fresh, includes pecans, cranberries and a crunch of celery. I asked for red onion to be added- it was the perfect sandwich! I’ll be back!
