Who has been to olive garden?

Question

for example if there is a family of 5-6, around how much would i be expected to pay.including tip?

Answer 1

I've been to several "Olive Garden" restaurants.

Unlike some other chains, this one is VERY inconsistent!

Some locations are quite good; some are wretched!

The BEST one I've found is in Horseheads, NY.

(Which, unfortunately, is a few hundred miles away from my home,

but we always stop there when we go "upstate".)

One of the worst is nearby my home, in Suffolk County, Long Island.  (Some of the ones in Nassau are OK.)

Prices are quite reasonable (in the LOW teens for entrees), and the quantities are quite large (so you can also save some money by having lots of free salad & bread and sharing entrees -- rather than taking home doggie bags).  

When an Olive Garden location is competently managed (which varies greatly!), the food is actually quite good!  If at all possible, ask the locals about quality before trying an unfamiliar location.

Answer 2

Personally, I can say that for dinner of about 6 people, with tip, it might run around $100 or maybe more depending on what dish they order.  Don't forget about drinks too.

Answer 3

For my fiance and I it was about $50 or so...including, two meals, 2 drinks, 1 alcoholic beverage, and a dessert.....

Plan on about $20 to 25 a person...

Answer 4

If they are all adults you had better figure $20-$25 a person. Kids can generally eat for around $15. Tip should be close to 15% for a party that big with good service. I say you are looking at close to $200.00

Answer 5

i have, and it is about $20 per person, as other people have said, and $10 per kid.  that includes tip as part of the calculation.  

the food there is pretty good but other places are better, such as outback steakhouse.

eastside marios' food is quite bland.

Answer 6

20$ per person plus a good tip

Answer 7

about 10 to 20 per person. but it's worth it.

Answer 8

each plate is around 20 bucks per persn

Answer 9

pretty expensive and bad food.

Answer 10

About ten to eleven bucks per person plus tips.

Answer 11

Ehh. Cant really give an answer. We dont know what anyone is going to order! Hehe. Just kidding. Well Olive Garden isnt awfully expensive... but for a family of 5-6, I'd gather around $150-250.

Answer 12

anywhere from $18.00 to $25.00 per person, don't forget to include a good tip,if service is good.

Answer 13

It is very expensive I take about 14 people when we go and soup and salad is all we can get!

Answer 14

it all depends on what you order, also the appetizers, desserts and drinks.

Answer 15

Just think about the Chicken Alfredo babyyyyyyyy.......melts in your mouth.

Answer 16

I've been, and I love their salad (neverending bowl!)

tip should be about 20%

Answer 17

Figure about $20 per person.

Answer 18

You can spend as little as $8 or as much as $20 per person. Add extra if you want drinks. Add lots extra if you want appetizers or alcohol. 15% is an expected tip.

I think they have the endless pasta and salad now for $9
