Olive GardenReviews 44

Do not waste your money and Time. Nothing gluten free, And they have made no attempts to solve the problem.i Will never ever go again.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Last month (order for pick up)I made an order they missing the soup.
I made three orders this time they gave me soup but I was missing one of my entrees (chicken tortellini Alfredo) I am very disappointed

Remember when Olive Garden was a cute little date spot? Well it's more of a lunch depot for me. We used to frequent them for dinner when they had the Tuscan T-bone steak. Since those menu changes, the only thing that stayed the same was the soup and salad.

I usually get the chicken gnocchi which is a creamy based soup similar to clam chowder. I'll eat two to three bowls while enjoying bread sticks and salad on the side.

It's unlimited soup, so I'll take one or two bowls home as well. The soup is really comforting especially when you want meal with the same taste and flavor every time.

I've combined my soup with dessert, but I've also gone to Olive Garden for the dessert alone. The tiramisu, Italian donuts and cappuccino is delicious.

Depending on where I am going my menu selections will not change once I find something that I like. While the staff is nice, the ambience over all is not the same.

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.

It is hardly a secret that I abhor most corporations and chains of any kind.

But twice in recent months I have frequented Olive Garden... and was pleasantly surprised.

Now "some people" say that their dishes are all frozen. But I do not give a tinker's damn; their mushroom pasta was wonderful.

It could be that that particular locale is just especially stellar. I'll have to try another site while on the road.

But for now -- four estrellas.

ETA: the temperature was rather chilly -- and some other guests were a tad bit unsightly, but I can overlook both.

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.

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.

It's funny how past events at restaurants can put such a bad taste in your mouth that you won't go back.

I ate at our local Olive Garden about a year ago but a few years before that I had such bad service that I just don't want to pay for that. It's not cheap for the microwave dinner and when a grumpy old woman serves everyone around you and you wait almost a hour for your menu (I had to get up from the table and physically get in her way to just ask her for a menu and maybe a glass of water) you just don't want to do that again.

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.
