Anyone been to the Olive Garden?

Question

Never been there, I want to know what the service and food is like. Thank you for everyone who answers.

Answer 1

It's a good place for lunch.  It's not the best italian food, but it is good.  I wouldn't choose it as a place to go for a date.  The prices are reasonable and they do have  a decent wine selection.  If you want good Italian food, try Carabba's, or Buca De Beppo if you are going with a group since everything is served family style, meaning, large portions for everyone to dig into.  Great place to go with family or friends and have a good time.  As far as Carabbas, you can go alone or with a friend.  Awesome salads, pastas, brick oven pizzas and chicken, awesome side dishes and bread.  Plus they have happy hour from 4-7, 2 for one on most drinks.  They make the best Sangria I have ever had.

Answer 2

I have quite a few times and it is great!

Answer 3

its great but once we got a waitress that wasn't in the staff "click" and she was supposed to get people to sing to my sister cause it was here birthday so she got mad and got in the managers face screaming right in front of us so we emailed the restraunt and they gave us a free 50$ gift certificate. we still go there a lot because the foods so great and nothing else has ever happened with waiters they're always really nice

any more help [e-mail]

Answer 4

Thanks for asking.

I like the food in general.

They give large portions, and the taste of their Italian food is surprisingly enough above average, with the exception of their inexplicablecanned vegetables.  You will probably also enjoy the friendly surroundings, cheerful colors and above average service too. At the price if you like to eat a good-sized meal, it's hard to beat.

Happy holiday!

Answer 5

i like it, food is good, service is good

Answer 6

I go occasionally. The food is Italian, and pretty good for a chain. It's not like an Italian grandmother's food, but like I said, it's alright. The bread sticks and salad are great, and their desserts are to die for. The service is different in every restaurant, but where I live its mostly college aged kids who are told to be professional. They offer to put fresh parmasean cheese on everything they serve, which is a nice gesture. Here's a link to their menu on line so you can see what sorts of food is offered: http://www.olivegarden.com/menus/

Answer 7

I love Olive Garden.  Love the soup, salad, and breadsticks.  Service is usually ok.

Answer 8

A really long time ago. I didn't like the entree. I liked the breadsticks and salad.

Answer 9

The food is great their. Their is always a line so it would be in best interest to know you should call a head of time.

Unlimited soup or salad, then your choice of food on the menu. I can tell you from experience you will leave full & with left over's or as we call them doggie bags.

Also one more thing the choice for your drinks will leave you wondering witch one's you really want.

Good Luck & Enjoy the food!

Answer 10

It's decent. The soup and salad lunch special is a great deal and tastes pretty good!  Service is going to depend on where you go?  I have been to an Olive Garden in Leesburg FL and the service was amazing but I went to another in Colombia SC and the service was just "eh"  The food seems to have a lot of cheese and dairy in it so make sure you like that kind of food.  I would check out their website... the menu is on it!  http://www.olivegarden.com/menus/

Answer 11

It's delicious... heaping plates of pasta at night (I like fetticini alfredo or chicken parmisan), and amazing soup and salad combo for lunch (my favorite)... breadsticks are really good!!  Service has always been good, too.

Answer 12

oh yeah it's like my favorite restaurant...there breadsticks are yummy

Answer 13

It's a really fun place to eat, though rather garlicky :)  It's a nice, bright restaurant; the salad and bread sticks are great, and we've never had a problem with our waitress.  I recommend the garlic chicken pizza, and there is a mocha dessert drink that I can't remember the name of that my cousins love.

Answer 14

Cheah AMAZING its me and my friends favorite restuarant

Answer 15

You better like pasta.  The food is good. They have a great lunch of all you can eat soup, salad and breaksticks.  Service is good.

Answer 16

My wife and I love to eat there for lunch.  They have a great soup and salad all you can eat.  

The most ironic thing about the Olive Garden for us, is that when you receive your salad, there might be ONE olive for each to cherish.  

If you like olives, don't expect to find them in great numbers at the Olive Garden.  They have great fresh-baked bread, pasta, minestrone, tea ... just about everything.

Expect to pay 10 - 15 dollars apiece for each entree.

Answer 17

first u have to wait for ever unless u make reservations but i think even reservation wait ive gone 2 times and waited 45mins each time they have hefty serving so dont eat all day and go hungry and they serve bread stcks and salad before your food and the bread stick are delish go to their website they have menus there and even recipes u can do at home

Answer 18

I have been there and I love it.....but you really have to like italian food though because a lot of their food are acquired tastes.......

just for eating there you get unlimited salad or soup and breadsticks.......they have a very diverse menu, but like i said, mostly italian food......

as for their service.....i have met some very friendly people who work there

i hope this helps

Answer 19

Olive Garden has good fast food. The service usually isn't that great. They're known for their endless soup, salad, and breadstix.
