Don't let the busy location scare you off. This place has the fastest service I have ever witnessed at an Olive Garden. Stopped here on a road trip, wanted something better than fast food. The kids meals were hot, fresh and served almost as fast as we were seated despite a complete full dinning room. The meatball app paired with the garlic bread is a fun app or a small dinner idea for anyone going light on the carbs and high on protein. I should have taken a photo of the meatballs. Very fair serving. It was my meal.

I went to this Olive Garden and unfortunately had a very unpleasant experience. While drinking my beverage, I found a fly inside my drink. This was very concerning to me in terms of hygiene and quality control. The staff did replace the drink, but honestly, something like this should never happen in a restaurant. I hope they improve their cleanliness standards and pay closer attention to what they serve to customers.

We had dinner at Olive Garden and overall it was a really good experience.<br><br>The food was delicious and well-prepared. We ordered the Stuffed Chicken Marsala and the Seafood Alfredo, and both dishes were rich, flavorful, and satisfying. The portions were generous and exactly what you’d expect from a comforting Italian-American meal.<br><br>Service was also great throughout our visit—staff were attentive, friendly, and made sure everything came out in good time.<br><br>The only small downside was being charged for table games that were already placed on the table without prior notice. It wasn’t a major issue, but it would have been better if this had been communicated upfront so customers know what they are being charged for.<br><br>Aside from that, everything was excellent, and we would still happily return for another meal.

Corinne at Olive Garden did an amazing job taking care of our party of 7. It was our first time there and she made the whole experience easy and enjoyable from the start. She gave great suggestions from the menu which helped a lot since we weren’t sure what to try, and everything she recommended was delicious. Even with a bigger group she stayed attentive, made sure our drinks and food were always taken care of, and kept a great attitude the whole time. Really great service and we’ll definitely be coming back because of the experience she gave us. She was also very up to date with the newest TikTok trends which helped 😂

It’s been maybe two decades since I’ve had Olive Garden and my last impression of the food was a great one. It was my introduction to Italian food. It has certainly fallen quite a bit in terms of quality since then. And the service also matched. I ordered pick up and not only did they get my order wrong, they also blamed me for it. I had to chase down the grumpy manager to make sure it would be correct this time since he stormed away so quickly. The girl working at the to-go station was lovely and nice. But perhaps management can be just a bit more hospitable, given the industry he’s in…

Delicious food, big portions, good service and good prices. The salad is really good and they give you free refills.

A great restaurant offers good quality and quantity of food with reasonable prices, and bottomless sides for salad, soup and bread sticks. Very friendly and helpful staff. We went there twice for dinner during our stay for visiting New York. Highly recommended if you are in the area!

It was our first visit to this location and we wanted to sit in the bar area but were told we couldn't because there was no server for that section. The food was ok, nothing spectacular. We ordered the neverending pasta but couldn't make it past the second round. The cocktails ordered weren't that great, I wish they had a better happy hour time/menu. Our server Marcelo was excellent, very attentive!

As a local realtor, I’m always out and about meeting clients and checking out good spots to grab a meal and Olive Garden never disappoints. The service was quick, the staff was genuinely friendly, and the food came out fresh and perfectly seasoned. The endless breadsticks and salad hit the spot as always, and the chicken alfredo was rich and creamy. You can tell they take pride in consistency and hospitality. Whether I’m having lunch between showings or dinner with family, Olive Garden is always a reliable go-to in the neighborhood. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a comfortable place with great Italian comfort food!

Visited after years and had a really nice experience overall! Loved the friendly service and the food was great as always. The only downside was that the soup tasted a little off this time, but everything else made up for it.

I I visited Olive Garden for the first time it was on the list and did go last week for dinner. The portion quantities are good to fill up the stomach and I’m too full by the end of my meal and couldn’t finish it. I think the price that we are putting the quantities will be justified. I like the wine as an old wooden barn with cool theme. Overall it was a good experience and might return also. Would recommend to someone who is looking for a barn style or country style environment for your dinner, then this is something you can consider.

Today my sister and I visited Olive Garden in Secaucus for the first time. This Olive Garden has the most beautiful design of all the restaurants of this chain that I have visited. There is wonderful music here, very atmospheric, cozy and beautiful. The service staff is wonderful. My sister and I want to thank the waiter Willi. He is a professional, elegant, tactful and nice person🤝. The food is very tasty👍🏻. Today I ate donuts from the Olive Garden menu for the first time - it's delicious. Thanks to the employees and owners of Olive Garden in Secaucus for respecting people. I will definitely recommend this place to my friends and acquaintances.
