So my family and I went here a few weeks ago. Everything was going great the food was fine and the service was too. Then we get home and then things take a turn for the worse. My wife was projectile vomiting for most of the night and continued to be sick for several days. It actually took her a week before she was able to keep anything down. It gets better in my party of 8 people 3 of us got this sick where work was missed and money was lost. I contacted the olive garden and was very polite and reasonable. It has been three weeks now and no one has called us back. Save yourself the time. Or don't and tell me how food poisoning feels later.

I went to the Olive garden by myself and waited almost an hour and 30 minutes. The line was not that long. This is not the first time I have walked out of Olive garden. I used to love eating at Olive garden but not the wait staff doesn't want to give you your salad they're rude to you and then they think that you owe them a big tip. They need to go back to the old ways where the customer was right not the wait staff

Had dinner here with 4 friends this week. Fantastic food and great server. The last meal I had at this restaurant was equally impressive. By todays standards, the meal was reasonably priced, with so much chicken and shrimp. I had enough to take home for another dinner next day. The Olive Garden seems to have the best servers. They are helpful, friendly and maintain a good sense of humor. They seem to genuinely want their customers to have a great experience. Great stuff guys! We appreciate you.

I am almost 11years old, but even I can see that this was nasty. Dust bunnies everywhere, stunk like puke, waiters were just standing around, and there was mold on the vents over our table.

Sadly overrated
December 3, 2023

The best part were their servers. I had eggplant parmigiana, salad with terrible dressing, iced coffee which was supposed to be plain but wasn't. Their appetizer of calamari was excellent. I really don't know why it's so popular. Their marinara actually was good but a little tangy.

I can honestly say that if I never stepped foot in another Olive Garden, I wouldn't be sorry.

My wife and I live in Richmond Ky and Do visit the local Olive Garden there off
Barns Mill Road. We always enjoy all the food and cleanliness of this restaurant. But Yesterday 11-28-2023 I was disappointed in Olive Garden allowing a dog to come in to the dining room with a couple. This was NOT a service dog. They had it in a stroller and I think it was a mix poodle of some kind. Dogs have their place but NOT in a Public Restaurant. I like dogs but not in My eating area.

Disappointed
October 9, 2023

Olive Garden in Framingham Ma has been the worst service ever.
Greeters unprofessional and inappropriate behaviors.
Socially discriminated against, lacking in social skills as a server to a customer. No empathy towards the disabled person.

No service
September 3, 2023

Four of us went to Olive garden west in Wichita ks. They seated us and we never seen a waiter. Went up to the hostess station and told them we hadn't been waited on, she said she would get someone on it. We waited another 15 minutes and got up to leave. There were 5 people standing at the hostess station. I told them we were going elsewhere since nobody would wait on us.

Just read review
July 28, 2023

I know a person who worked there, but was a newbie for a little over a month and they fired her. (For being slow!) She was hired full-time but they only scheduled for 2 days a week, started training her in different positions. But as of today she got let go. For one, if she worked the full time shifts she would have had more practice but "no" they gave her little hours. Even when she asked for more they didn't. And for someone being a newbie don't just throw them in and expect a pro. What ever happened with team work? Especially for a newbie. This is the one in SLC (Sugar house). I'm very turned off on how she was given up on instead of team work. Is this the way they treat their employees? Plus we are hearing that they dis on people who are LGBTQ ect.I love their food but to hear how they treat newbie's and don't give them the hours they were hired for and training she felt that she was just thrown into the wolves to figure it out herself. Shame, and I live close to that one but I will kindly go to a different one.

Stay away
May 11, 2023

Salad was OK but soup was watered down so much it was difficult to tell what the cheff was trying to make.

Wife's soup of the same name was different but not great. Wife's spagettie was oily, greassy AND TERRIBLE.

The meat balls were OK. And the bread was ok. Didn't offer oil and spices so asked for butter. We took a booth in the bar area rather than wait 30 minutes and that was a mistake. Not going back for a LONG time.

ABERCORN STREET OLIVE GARDEN SAVANNAH GA Gives poor service, POOR MANNERS BY WAITSTAFF. I dont know about you but i like good service and to feel like family when i go to Olive Garden. Didn't the OLIVE GARDEN commercial promise that? But there you dont get it.RARELY SAW WAITRESS and we sat in the BAR AREA. I saw her when she was ready to get the check and tip. I had problems paying on the machine and even then couldn't find her. NO SMILE or welcome vibe it felt like we were bothering the staff there. I don't think the waitress even acknowledged we were there unless I flag down other servers for something or she saw me eyeing her. I had a table full of dishes I complained to manager about the fact that it's uncomfortable to eat when all the other dishes were on the table she just kinda blew me off and continued to put the main dish food down. I mean we had several large entrees and that large salad bowland soup still on the table. All was on the table and no room but somehow they still placed entrees. Very poor manners very poor customer service, female manager does not care either way if customer is happy. Male manager and take out guy could care less that I expressed problems with service. Who hired these people. Why come to work and work in the service field and NOT PROVIDE good service but expect a good tip. I'm just saying people. This Olive garden is no longer what it used to be. Who ever is hiring staff should be fired. Obviously I'm not alone.READ THE OTHER REVIEWS. I can't make

Really slow service
December 28, 2022

Went with a party of 10 to Thousand Oaks venue, CA. Server very slow and only had 1 cold soup in first hour. Plus server had a false nail pop onto table by food - yuk. Previously always great service but may give Olive Garden a miss from now on.

Horrible experience
December 17, 2022

Worst experience ever with a manager at this store named Lawrence! I can not believe the way in which he spoke to us - so incredibly unprofessional that we had to demand another manager named Sunshine - Harold our server was great but it took us 3 hours to have a meal with 2 people. Unfortunately, it was just a horrible experience. Overall, Lawrence ruined the entire meal.
