How much does it cost for 2 people to eat at Olive Garden or Red Lobster!?

Question

I'm taking my mother out for her b-day and I want to know how much to bring... I don't want to spend more than 50 on a meal for us both! And I don't want to tell her that she can't order what she wants cause it costs so much! I also need to know if tonight would be a good night to take her to Olive Garden? I went with my friends a year ago and I remember having to wait forever for a table!

Any good ideas... I want to make it a nice b-day... she hasn't had one in 5 years (A nice b--day .lol).... And any ideas on what else I should do for her?

Answer 1

about $50 is what we spend sometimes little more

Answer 2

$50 bucks sounds good for both places.  You can always let her order first and then order something less expensive if she over does it.

Call both restaurants and ask them what's the waiting period for a table.  If there is a long wait, ask them if they can add your name to it over the phone so that you won't have to wait as long when you arrive.

You can let the staff know it's her birthday, and see if they will sing happy birthday to her during dessert time.

Answer 3

depends but when me and my husband go to either, it always cost us about $100.

Answer 4

It depends what you order. But normally you can eat at either of those places for under $50. I just wouldn't go ordering the fresh lobster. Then  it is  more expensive.

Answer 5

Two people well I think best on the safe side about $100

But just make sure you have a little more on you should this exceed.

Answer 6

When my boyfriend and I go to Olive Garden its about 40 but thats including desert, but the proportions of the meal are large and delicious so it is worth it!
