"The shakes taste just like real, creamy ice cream, with a smooth and consistent texture. Breakfast was also great, with generous portions and eggs cooked just right. Unfortunately, they were out of chicken when I ordered the spicy chicken sandwich, but the burgers are very good. I did notice that the sauces aren't always evenly distributed; I experienced a couple of half-dry sandwiches until I found the hidden Thousand Island dressing. That was disappointing. Additionally, the avocado was a bit too ripe for my liking, which was disappointing considering I paid extra for it. I really appreciate how spacious the dining area is. The tables are well-spaced, so there’s plenty of room to walk around without bumping into others. The restrooms have always been clean whenever I used them, and even the hand soap smells great—what a pleasant surprise! The parking lot is a bit rough, like much of El Centro, and finding a parking space can be challenging when it’s busy, especially with the traffic flow directed through the lot. I’m not from this area and I’m not familiar with the local restaurant chains, but I’m thrilled! I’ve learned to avoid Rally's in the future, as Farmer Boys is clearly a much better option!"

"I had a really great meal. I had the three item plate with an additional item for $6. I had brisket, ribs, hot link sausage, and bbq chicken. It came with a cornbread muffin and one side. I chose french fries (wedge style). After dinner I had thebrownie and ice cream desert. My friend had a similar meal but with catfish. This meal was really good and the service was alsogood. Update: I'm not changing the stars but I was disappointed on my last visit. I ordered a burger medium and it came outlike charcoal. Medium is light pink in the middle. They took the burger off my bill and they were friendly about everything. Iwas told they have to cook well done which might be a company policy OR it could be a cook that hasn't a clue how to cookmedium. It's not only this restaurant. I don't know if it's a regional custom or not but so many places literally burn theburger and for egg dishes burn the eggs. Stop overcooking food."

"Okay so I’ve always like this Olive Garden because most of the time they have friendly service but my last visit there which was 2 weeks ago was not the best. First it was a Sunday and yes it’s always packed and crowded with a wait time of at least half an hour. Once we got our booth everything was good but the first server that we got was a little rude (thank goodness she had to leave) and then our second server was a little nicer. The thing that bothered me the most is that I had the stroller next to our booth and servers kept handing plates and everything across the stroller (my 3 month old was in there asleep) instead of on the side. Like is it obvious that you are not supposed to pass HOT plates across a baby on a stroller and there was space on the side, what if something would’ve fell on the baby?! only one server that wasn’t our server that did give us our plate through the side. Also our server kept hitting the stroller (accidentally) when giving us our plate.Now regarding the food, it was good, just like any other Olive Garden but don’t expect the service to be fast because it is not.And another reason for my 3 stars is that the restrooms were disgusting, very dirty."

"Excellent customer service! I was having an issue with the Subway app. I went there in person and was able to get everything taken care of with friendly and patient service. Also tried a new footlong I've never had before... the Subway Melt! One of the best I've ever had! Highly recommend."
