What diners say — our read

The headline average flatters this listing; the recent half does not. Reviewers who mention how guests are treated rate this place 4.2 on average — it is working in the restaurant’s favour. Speed of service follows at 27% of reviews, where ratings average 4.0.

5 stars is the modal score, given by 13 of the 15 reviewers who rated. 13 of 15 rated reviews are four stars or higher; 2 are two or lower. Conspicuously absent: portion size, which no reviewer brings up.

Against that, the kitchen inspects well — an A (98/100), 2 basic violations at the most recent DBPR visit. That inspection was on April 2, 2026. Across its inspection history the kitchen is improving, which argues for giving it the benefit of the doubt. Ranked against Osceola County, it is safer than 85% of the restaurants we score.

Nothing here pulls in opposite directions — an unusually clean read. The individual reviews are below, newest first, if you want the raw material.

    My son and I had lunch here. The food and service was wonderful. Everything was great. One of the best servers I’ve ever had. Food came out quick and delicious. Highly recommend.

    Food was cold and server was very indifferent and careless about our request.

    Meri was our server and she absolutely killed it. Gave us great life advice and was the sweetest and funniest server literally ever, and took such good care of me & my two girlfriends. Absolutely adored her, she made our traumatizing drive on I4 in the pouring rain 100% worth it.

    Comer no Olive Garden foi uma delícia! A comida é muito gostosa, bem temperada e tudo veio quentinho e bem servido. As massas são incríveis e o pãozinho com sal é perfeito. Com certeza quero voltar mais vezes. O atendimento também foi excelente, com funcionários muito atenciosos e prestativos, o que tornou a experiência ainda melhor. Recomendo para quem procura uma refeição saborosa, farta e com um ambiente agradável para toda a família.

    Food is great! Service is horrible, got food and waited 30 min no one came back, whole meal and saw the server twice. Asked for a manager took another 20 min as I sit here writing this review. Knowing that my bill is over $100, I think what was it for??? With all the options you have to go out and eat I would t choose this restaurant. Manager finally came. She acted like she could care less. Asked us if we needed boxes…. Crazy.

    First visit for us after decades of not coming in. Was really nice food and we had a great attentive server. Really enjoyed the ambience and will be back.

    This location has always been on point. Nice and friendly staff. Food is always excellent. The only criticism would be the seating. You come to a restaurant thats not busy and you think you're gonna have some privacy and the next couple that comes in is seated 2 feet away, whole the rest of the restaurant is empty. 😏
