text: I have always enjoyed and even looked forward to eating at the OLIVE GARDEN I was bitterly disappointed when this location closed and became a HOOTERS Other than somewhat hot chicks in orange shorts HOOTERS leaves a lot to be desired in the way of food It is overly expensive and bland But that is the topic for another review Back to this OLIVE GARDEN I was overjoyed that they built a new building I eagerly looked forward to going there The food was great at the old location and I expected the same at the new one I was disappointed Bitterly disappointed The food was way below expectations I am a big eater so the NEVER ENDING PASTA BOWL was just up my alley Unfortunately that alley turned out to be a dead end The food tasted like it was store bought and not freshly made I could have done the same thing at home and saved on the gas Both in the car and my stomach The three cheese marinara tasted like it came from a storebrand can not even the somewhat good CAMBELLS SOUP version That may have been acceptable The Italian sausage was not fresh by any means It was like they had left over pasta and sauce from dinner three days ago and pawned it off for lunch The staff was friendly if a bit hurried because of the crowd It was not bad enough to erase the place from the preferred list but close I will give it a try again in the future but not for awhile
