Very disappointing! Under new ownership. Young, inexperienced staff. The food was very bland, lettuce was not well drained, so salads were watery. No one bothered to ask how we were doing, even when very full plates were cleared from the table. There were very few guests in addition to our party of 22, so we expected a great deal more attention! Without some major changes, this restaurant won't last for 6 months.

The Olive Garden features Italian fare, and if you like that chain this is a good example. We found the service good, our meal arrived promptly and was tasty. Chain restaurants are characterized by cleanliness, service and how well they prepare the fixed menu, and this one succeeded at all three.

Located in a strip mall in Pasadena. The pizza is surprisingly good with a crisp crust and numerous topping choices. We chose one with a garlic sauce and it was very heavy with garlic. If you are not a garlic fan (or do not want garlic breath) you will need to alert them so that they temper its use. The calzone was very good. We chose a spinach and shrimp and it arrived hot and bubbling. The cheese used formed almost ab Alfredo sauce inside the calzone. The shrimp were perfectly cooked and tender. Both the house and Caesar salads were fresh and delicious. Definitely a great place fro pizza or lunch.

New restaurant for me, they don't have these where I live. The restaurant was very large, there were several meeting rooms. There were a lot of families with children, too. They serve buffet style, with a waffle bar and an omelet station. The buffet was extensive, and included every offering imaginable for a good brunch. The atmosphere was aroma of bacon and maple, noise of happy people and friendly service. The building inside was older and clean but well used.

3. Spanky's

Went one Sunday evening. It was crowded and very noisy. Waitress took our drink orders quickly and our order as well. It took a while for the pizza to come out, but when it did it was hot and crispy., We had ordered their special with hand toss crust. We left off green peppers and added another ingredient. The pizza had very good flavor and crust was great. Wish they offered a side salad with the pizza, or brought out dipping sauce for the curst, as that would have made the meal more complete. The atmosphere is very festive and lots of TV's though out so you can watch sports if you wish. Nosy levels get high and can be hard to carry out a conversation in normal speaking levels. Would go back, as the pizza was very good.

We liked the food, especially the lasagne. The waitress was friendly. The only negative was a big one: the time to be finally served our lunch took way too long, and we were the only customers there at the time! There were four girls standing around talking and doing nothing, and only one employee actually doing the cooking. Go at your own risk. Hopefully, they are faster with you than they were with us.

We stayed in the hotel down the street and someone recommended this place. Very good,very fresh and very fast.Thatâs probably the best way to describe this place. We loved every dish we ordered. The only disappointment was they didnât serve wine or any other alcohol.You could bring your own so come prepared. Food is well worth the visit
