Olive Garden Italian Restaurant

After a day of shopping decided to use my gift card for carryout. Very disappointed… the waitress at the «To Go“station was very nice, but the food was not up to par…

I gave them another try. The waitress was very friendly and polite. They are sticklers for ID when ordering liquor even if your visually old you better have your ID on you. I tried Lobster ravioli I couldn’t taste any lobster and sauce was thick and no taste. Even the salad didn’t taste like it had any dressing on it. Maybe they have all new staff

Okay so! I think I’ve been to Olive Garden maybe twice my whole life including today. It’s pretty good, not great, but good. It could’ve been the location or maybe I’m just not that big on Italian type dishes. I should take a trip to Italy before I say that, ha ha! Anyway, the food was pretty good, but I must admit, I’ve had better pasta. The service was great! My waitress was amazing and such a sweet person. She took great care of me and even showed me a few things that I didn’t know. All in all, the place is pretty cool, just not my cup of tea, you know. I’m More into trying foods that are out of this world, if that makes sense.

I really can’t complain. Every time I go to this Olive Garden its great with great service. Just beware of the 5 o’ clock dinner crowd it can be noisy and leave you waiting some time. The service is always great. The Zuppa Toscana is awesome, be sure to try it.

Rude waitress… Refused to get me a drink when I had my license. Also had a coupon from the Olive Garden website and she said she would have to get the manager to verify it. This restaurant needs to do a better job at being professional and making the customer feel welcome.

I came here to use a gift card I had and my expectations weren’t high because after all, it’s Olive Garden. Amazingly, my experience was even worse than I expected. We walked in and there were 4 – 6 staff joking around at the host stand but it took them a good 2 minutes to get their stuff together to seat us. Pretty unprofessional.
When we were seated, our server was awful. She didn’t seem to know what she was doing and she kept coming over to ask us things every 2 seconds. She expected us to be ready to order within 5 minutes of getting the menus and she gave us the check before we had even finished eating. When she first came for drink orders, I asked her if there were lunch specials and she said no, Sunday’s they only do dinner. Later, she offers someone else a lunch menu and I hear someone order a lunch portion of an entrée. When I call her over and ask what the hell is going on, she finally gives me a lunch menu and tells me that «we mostly do dinner on Sunday’s.» What!!!
Besides the confusing service, the food was not good even by Olive Garden standards. My mushroom ravioli and my partners chicken Parmesan sandwich tasted like they came out of the frozen food aisle. Plus even the breadsticks were cold.
To top off the meal, there were no paper towels or toilet paper in the bathroom. You’d think one of the 6 staff joking around could handle that. If you’re in the area and craving Italian food, go the extra ½ mile to Carrabba’s.

Went there on 5÷27÷15. We were seated and the people that came in behind us was served first. We waited 20 min & no service. Even though it was a Weds during the day with few people in the Restaurant. The staff was having a good old time sitting & talking & joking with each other but not serving. Several staff past our table but no service. So we left the Restaurant. Go there at your own risk…

I always get the unlimited breadsticks and soup. This Zuppa Toscana soup is always on point for me! But today I also got the Shrimp Scampi Fritti which was also delicious and highly recommend!

The food was decent but that customer service. Hands down awful customer service. It felt like we had walked into a restaurant during it’s Grand Opening. Never again. There was one Server that was spectacular everyone else sucked.
Here’s why it sucked. The Gentlemen seated across from us asked for butter to butter his breadsticks and the Server advised him that the breadsticks are prepared with butter on them. We sat for nearly 15 minutes before we met our Server who showed up without water. We actually received breadsticks before our water. We were asked if we wanted parmesan cheese on our salad but we had to request it for our main courses. It may seem petty but these are the fundamentals of quality service and without quality there is no service.
This Olive Garden felt broke Restaurant Industry Commandments. My biggest concern is that the restaurant appeared to be nearly empty and it was lunchtime.

Food was great but the service was terrible. We had to ask twice for the rest of our order and received our appetizer once we were done eating. We had forgot we even ordered it. Took 15 minutes to flag someone down to ask for our check… it was noon, there was 2 other tables in our section. Server left her server table in front of ours loaded with dirty dishes… maybe this is standard practice these days.

Ordered take out from here one night. The food was very disappointing. I ordered the seafood Alfredo, I must have said hold the Alfredo sauce because there was none on there. All of the staff were very friendly and the manager was very apologetic. He even gave me a gift card to compensate for the horrible food. If I go to Olive Garden again, it def won’t be this one again.

I think the people that work here want Olive Garden to go bankrupt. The staff is lazy, the food is sub par for Olive Garden standards, and one time we were sat at a broken table. When I asked to be moved, they sat another family at that broken table without even wiping it down.

Normally, I enjoy an outing at Olive Garden. We don’t go often but when we do service is usually great and the food is always what we expect. Yesterday’s visit was a real turn off! I encountered food under my table which had attracted roaches! There was one actually sneaking around the top of the table. I promptly left. I probably will not be revisiting this particular Olive Garden ever again!

Excellent service. We stop here on our way home from the Carolina’s. We are never disappointed. Salad and breadsticks were fresh and good. Manager came by the table to check in. So in my mind, they care how they are treating there customers.

It’s Olive Garden — seriously? Why are you reading this review?!? Not the best service; her voice said she cared enough to try and work a tip while her body language said «I could give a what». Food was very slow getting to the table. Tasted decent once we finally got served — paparadelle pescatore.

So, it’t the Olive Garden! I haven’t been here in years for reason really unknown, but tonight, the guy and I said, let’s go! We arrived near 8 oclock and I was expecting to wait, after all, it was Saturday night! However, we didn’t wait long at all! We were seated within 10 minutes of checking in to the restaurant! He was thoroughly pleased because we were seated in the bar area near the televisions. And of course the OKC/​Spurs game was on, so he was very happy! LOL!
Our server, Amber came right over and was extremely nice and friendly! She greeted us and we exchanged a couple of jokes with her! We ordered our food, (he ordered chicken alfredo, I ordered shrimp mezzaluna), and everything was very good! Oh and we had soups as well! The chicken dumpling soup was a pleasant surprise to me! It was very good! It was his by the way! And we ordered a desert! It was the white chocolate raspberry cheese cake! It was good! All in all, the food was delicious and the server was very nice and was extremely personable! Definitely will be back for another round!

Drink the sangria. You will not regret it.

3÷29÷14 6:30pm Reservation
Party of 30, Birthday Party, Private Area but open to the rest of the restaurant
They were a bit overwhelmed, Biker Crew wasn’t rowdy but we are playful and some of us are a handful lol
Review base on Brandy and my service only
Food was good, They forgot one of our appetizers, but received it with the main course. Took a bit for service due to size of our party but the food was good.
They deleted the appetizer due to the mix up and I was pleasantly surprised with the bill, the tip reflected my appreciation.

HORRIBLE!!! All meals arrived at separate times, cold and incorrect. Asked to speak to a manager and waited 30 min for a manager. We walked out.

It’s a chain and no more or less. As long as the servers are good (which they usually are).
