Olive Garden - Cookeville

We needed a place to stay overnight on our way back to South Carolina and decided to have a family dinner at this restaurant. From the moment we arrived until we finished our dessert, the service we received was exceptional! I have been to many Olive Garden locations, but this one was the best I have ever been to. The main reason for this was our server, Kachina. If every restaurant had someone with her level of knowledge and hospitality, dining out would always be perfect. My youngest daughter was very hungry from traveling, and Kachina was quick to take her order and bring out her food promptly. She was very familiar with the menu, constantly refilling our drinks, and checked on us multiple times throughout the meal. Olive Garden in Cookeville is lucky to have someone like her, and I hope they appreciate her because she is a huge asset to the business. She was professional yet also provided that friendly Southern hospitality that made us feel right at home. This was truly the best Olive Garden experience I've ever had, all thanks to Kachina.

The spaghetti and bread sticks at this restaurant were incredibly delicious! Even Benito Mussolini would be impressed by them. There is absolutely no explanation for why the food is this good!

My children and I really adore this restaurant. The bread with Alfredo sauce is consistently fantastic. The food has always been excellent and the mixed drinks are good, though I personally prefer the wine selection here. The kids' menu has plenty of options, so even my picky eaters can find something they enjoy.

Wow... best experience I've had at an Olive Garden. Took my family of 6 for lunch and had such a pleasant experience. The staff was so friendly and helpful. The value for the kind of dining experience you get is incredible. Great job Olive Garden in Cookeville!

Our server Alyiah was absolutely amazing and had a great sense of humor. The food was delicious as well. Service is a big factor on if we will return to a restaurant any time soon and we will definitely be back.
