    Free food should be good, but after my second experience at this location there's a lot left to be desired. I don't know what it is, perhaps my tastes have changed as I've gotten older because I used to love Olive Garden as a kid/teen and now I'm kinda take it or leave it. You have to wonder about the wine that they offer at the start of your meal, so we tried it and it was pretty gross. I swear the breadsticks have changed slightly over the years (not as good as I ever remember them), but you know that's not really what got me. They offer "unlimited" salad and breadsticks but they only give you one serving of each and then they don't come around after that (how can you ask for more?) until your food is delivered. Speaking of food being delivered, the wrong food that is... I ordered Chicken Parm, because it was Veterans Day and it was part of their "free for veterans" menu. The waiter and I had had a whole conversation about my service, and the fact that I would order off the free menu; he proceeded to order my meal as Eggplant Parm (which wasn't even on the menu). It's a good thing there wasn't a wait to be seated when we arrived, but there was one when we were leaving. This is not the kind of food I'd wait for that's for sure.

    I want to start off by saying that Joyce our server was awesome! My 10 year old choose OG for her birthday dinner. My daughter had a good time!

    Eh. It's so bland it's not worth it. I only like the salad dressing. Not a valid reason to go here. I'm not calling "food poisoning" but my stomach have been aching since i left last night.. oh well no go olive garden.

    Finally got my Italian fix. I'm no aficionado when it comes to this type of food. I can only tell you this: i ate it all. it didnt make me sick. it was very tasty. the bread was soft and hot. the salad was green, fresh, and crisp. the eggplant parmigiana was cooked deliciously, and there was plenty of food at a very reasonable price. staff was friendly and we were seated immediately. good sized crowd for an 8:20pm dinner. i always get nervous if we're late, a business is going to go a little lacidasical on the food service and preparation. not this place. left feeling full, good, and well-served til we walked out the door. parking plentiful and convenient. clean. well kept. cant wait to eat here again.

    The worst lunch I've had in a long while. Maybe ever. Filthy restaurant (uh, it's called dusting), incredibly slow service, 25 minute wait on our lunch (a salad!?), and inedible food. I'm honestly amazed they are in business.

    Okay... full disclosure here. We only went to Olive Garden to "fat load" before doing the HCG diet. I can't say I've been a fan of Olive Garden since maybe 1999. Since about 2007, I've eaten lower salt and lower fat foods. Wow, was my body in for a shock here. To be honest, I think if someone eats here more often than once a month, they're probably on the express train to hypertensionville if they haven't arrived already. The salt content of EVERYTHING from the salad to the soup to the breadsticks to the entrees is excessive and unhealthy. The only thing that I'd consider going back for is maybe spaghetti and meatballs; hard to go wrong there. The kids loved it, of course, but I couldn't feel good about seeing them stuff almost 1000 calories into their mouths at a sitting. It's restaurants like this that have America kids turning into blobs. Can't complain about the service, really. It was quite good. Our waiter was attentive, nice, and personable. Much better than we usually get at mainstream chains these days. Pros: Price, parking, atmosphere, and consistency Cons: Just about everything else

    My wife and I went to this location on New Year's day evening. The parking lot was overflowing and we were told that we'd have a ten to fifteen minute wait. They got people seated quickly and our wait was half the time they told us it would be. This was one of the nicest locations I've been to and the waitress was friendly and efficient. We were seated in a cozy room near a fireplace which was a pleasant surprise since we were avoiding going home to our broken heater that was awaiting repair. We had the soup and salad as always and not being a small man or a timid eater I can test waiters and waitresses limits on all-you-can-eat deals. She was just as friendly each of her four trips back to our table to bring us refills of soup and salad. She never seemed annoyed so I tipped accordingly. The food was consistently good, not mind-blowing but solid and not disappointing in the slightest. It was a good experience over all and I'm sure we will be returning.

    What can I say? It's an Olive Garden in the middle of suburbia. It tastes like any other Olive Garden I've been to and the service is the same. Having said that, the salad and bread stick is still one of my favorite chain restaurant meals. The wine selection, while not great offers a number of cheaper options, and the non-salad/breadstick meals are palatable.

    What can I say, I love the salad and breadsticks!!! I know Olive Garden isn't the most innovative Italian restaurant. It is definitely the place you go when you just want some comfort food. My husband gets Spaghetti and Meatballs EVERY time - although he always looks over the menu like he is contemplating every dish. I personally love the creamy garlicky sauces - Tuscan Garlic Chicken or Pork Milanese - yum! They have little fresh made donuts too for dessert! So good! Also not to be missed is the Italian Margarita (comes with an Amaretto sidecar), it is a sweeter cousin to the traditional Margarita. This location is usually busy, but they are quick to sit you and service is good. Parking is easy - its in Southlands and has parking out front!

    Food would have been better if it didn't set in the hot window for so long.. it dried out the sauces. It was slow also around 3 pm

    We visited this restaurant around 8pm on May 16th and had a terrible experience. The restaurant was really busy so we decided to sit at the bar. There was only 4 other people besides us at the bar. There were 2 bartenders, a female worried about dishes and cleaning, and a male, worried about flirting with 2 girls. We sat there for a good 10 minutes without even eye contact, menus, no acknowledgement whatsoever. Finally, the female bartender asked what she could get us to drink. I stated that I would like a menu to look at. The male bartender (right in front of us the whole time flirting) started mumbling something of "I didn't see you sittin' there" and through menus at us. We sat there again for another 10 minutes without another visit from either one of them. The male bartender was really drunk and stumbling around. Never leaving the girls and giggling the whole time. We finally just got up to leave. We called the manager 30 min later to discuss and they never came to the phone. We were hung up on by the host staff. I wrote into the Olive Garden website and never had a response either. I am really concerned about the drunk bartender. He was wasted.

    What a disappointment. Olive Garden has simply become way too commercialized. There is no quality to their food anymore. When I was a kid I remember walking into Olive Garden and seeing someone making pasta fresh. That alone set the tone for what you were about to consume. Also, the famous bread sticks were infinitely better back then. They tasted fresh, and could have been a substitute for dessert. Now, their bread tastes like frozen dough that was baked in the oven. Really sucky I must say. If it wasn't for the unlimited soup and salad this place would be a complete after thought. The people you routinely see in there now are people who have underdeveloped pallets, who enjoy rather bland food. That comes as a knock, however, I challenge people to explore the flavors out there that will spin your taste buds into frenzy. Please, don't settle for a generic Italian place such as this one. It has forgotten its roots, and has fallen victim to corporate mediocrity.

    Went here for a large dinner celebration of my Goddaughter and her best friend's confirmation with families in tow. The wine list is just okay but I wasn't expecting much. I ordered the Nero d'Avola which was...just okay. At dinner we got a bottle of the Chianti Classico (I can't remember the producer but there is only one Classico so that's the one we got). It was actually better than the Nero d'Avola (but bottles are usually always better than wines by the glass). I still love the breadsticks here. I don't know what it is about it that is just so darn tasty!! I had 2 but wanted to eat about 6 of them. One of our guests rolled up all the leftover breadsticks in some napkins to take home with her. She must have had about 12 of them. LOL! I ended up ordering the Parmesean crusted fish with angel hair pasta. I was actually very surprised at the delicious flavors. I usually put more Parmesan cheese on EVERYTHING I eat but I didn't need to with this entree. VERY cheesy and delicious. It came with some vegetables as well. I'd definitely order this again if I ever return to an OG. I tend to prefer not frequenting chains when at all possible, but sometimes it's out of my control, and when it is, I'm rarely dissappointed with OG.

    After reading all these reviews on this Italian Chain restaurant, i decided to put my opinion in too! WAKE UP people, this is a CHAIN and they are a modeled mold of about 750 just like it. They must provide the same exact lack luster over cooked pastas and way over processed sauces that you can find at any other nationwide or world wide for that matter! You get what you pay for. You want fine dining, go to fine dining Italian and then complain that you just paid too much for pasta and bread! $25 for Two dinner entrees and bottomless salad/bread sticks.. Or that take a free entree home for lunch tomorrow deal. Com'on maan, this is a deal! Stop bitching about or go some where else!! I went last night and had great service, decent tasting food for the price. This place is consistent in their efforts! As long as they have these decent deals for dinner, we will continue to go back. I owned an Italian restaurant for years and can cook better Italian food, but its nice to be able to go out and be served at a reasonable priced dinner and NOT HAVE some way out of reach high expectations of what it should be. We go in knowing we get what we pay for! Very simple. Keep up the good work O.G. and the consistent efforts!

    This is our go-to place when we want chain Italian. I don't think I've ever been in here when the place isn't completely packed. The breadsticks are usually hot and fresh and made just right. Sometimes they're a little hard but that's the rarity rather than the rule. The salad is always excellent. I always get the spaghetti and meatballs and I can never finish it (after the salad and God knows how many breadsticks) but I always try. It's always made to perfection. This would be a 5 star review if it weren't for the fact that sometimes we go there and they don't look THAT busy yet we still have to wait for a table. There's nothing worse than waiting for 10 minutes and then having a hostess walk you thru a dining room full of empty tables.

    I had a small amount of time to chow down as much as I could during my lunch break. I knew I wanted the unlimited soup and salad. The waitress took about 10 minutes to greet us which made me want to leave but I stuck it out. The minestrone soup was great and so was the salad. We got the calamari and fried zucchini appetizer and it had little flavor, it just tasted like fried food. I would go back when I have more time to chill. Service is slow.

    Been going to Olive Garden for years and this is my local go to location . The staff is always friendly in restaurant and Togo also very attentive and Always refilling your water . Fairly quick service. Salad and breadsticks are always right out; and because of my food allergies they are always very generous to bring me a bowl of it with no cheese, dressing or croutons . The gluten free rotini is excellent !! I love it with marinara !! Only complaint is I wish they would get gluten free bread sticks but other than that I have always had good food and good service ! One time my meal was wrong and they made me a new one nice and hot ! Also the fried zucchini appetizer is delicious as well as the peach Bellini ice ice tea ! Good for occasions, family, kids, parties, or just dinner !

    I have yet to have a bad meal there. They change options often, which is very nice. The breadsticks and salad are always very good. I've never had bad service there. The Zappolis are phenomenal.

    So, at least once a month I have a date night here, it's a date night with one of my friends. We meet here, spend most of the evening at a table in the bar area and eat, drink, talk and gossip all night. I have only sat in the "regular" seating area once with my daughters. The experience was wonderful and the staff was knowledgeable and professional. However the staff in the bar is ALWAYS awesome. They are fast, they keep us well hydrated, the drinks never stop and the food is hot and delicious every time. All the bartenders tend to be very fast and know how to make a drink perfect every time. The location is centralized without being too close to the bustle of Southlands. Great for a ladies night out!

  • Carly R.

    The wait staff is always very friendly and quick to change any issues right away. I never get enough of the zuppa toscana! The unlimited soup, salad, and bread stick meal is a great deal. Ask for an ice tea, half peach, half raspberry. It's very refreshing!

    As many times as I've eaten at THIS particular location, I've decided to write a review based on my total experiences. I'm a fan of the Chicken Scampi.(But NOT at this location) First time trying it here, I was NOT IMPRESSED. Gave it a second chance a few months later, same deal. Don't know why the taste is different (comparing to the one on Havana which I've had a handful of times over THERE and never a complaint or issue) but there's something wrong with that dish. Otherwise anything else I have had has been EXCELLENT. Unfortunately on Mother's day (5/10) it was overwhelming and staff was very unorganized. On top of having a full house, people were doing ONLINE ORDERS as well as calling in TAKE OUT's. I made my ONLINE order around 5:15pm that Sunday afternoon with a pick up time of 6:50. My honey went to go and did not get home til almost 8. He waited pretty much 45 min or longer for our food. I realize it's busy, but in the future I would recommend a better system and getting the wait times a little more accurate if you are going to offer ONLINE ordering and figuring out the TAKE OUT orders to accommodate the customers in a more efficient manner. Everything was great except in getting my "tour of Italy" dish, my chicken parmigiana was kinda soggy. Will always be a fan, just needed to get my review out there so they know what they need to do to better their service!

    Waited over 2 hours before leaving. They had a packed lobby at one point and 20+ open tables. Managers were not letting anyone be seated until kitchen slowed down. Managers were hiding in the back and wouldn't come out to deal with upset customers. Finally employees dragged Reuben from the back and all he could tell us was that the kitchen was trying to catch up so they wouldn't sit anyone. Other customers left complaining of under cooked food and only half the table receiving food at all 2 hours after being seated.

    I have been to this Olive Garden twice, both times I had a bad experience. Both of the times the wait was over an hour and a half. After the first visit and the bad experience, we decided to give then a second try assuming that that had a bad day... On both visits after being seated, it took a very long time to get any food brought to the table. They said in both cases that they were backed up and did not have enough staff. The food we received was dry, cold, and burnt... Avoid this Olive Garden!!

    I love there salad and Toscana soup. But this time I went I got pasta and omg it was super over cooked it looked like mash potatoes it was gross and we asked for a different plate because the pasta was over cooked and they gave us another plate of pasta and it was the same and we still had to pay for it even though we didn't eat it! I don't recommend getting pasta there it was a horrible experience but like I said the salad and soup is really good

    Our family of six went to Olive Garden last night. We were excited to find out that we could make a reservation, because even on a weeknight, getting a table for six often means a long wait. We did have to wait about five minutes when we arrived, but that was totally fine. The food was delicious and although the service was prompt, it was not what is should have been. We ordered an appetizer, and it arrives at the same time as our food, which meant is wasn't really touched. Call me crazy, but I think the app should be served before the meal. This resulted in feeling rushed, which wasn't what we were hoping for as we were celebrating a birthday. We will be back since the food was so good and hope the service is a little better next time.

    We came for an early free dinner since we are both Veterans and Olive Garden was offering a free entree from a select menu of 6 items plus soup or salad and breadsticks for Veterans. The hostess said there was a 30-35 minute wait. We were pleasantly surprised when we were called after 20 minutes. I ordered the Chicken Parmigiana with Spaghetti and my husband had the Spaghetti with meat sauce. They were average. The salad was the best part of the meal. My husband presented his Retired Military card and I presented my DD Form 214 for my Discharge from Active Duty. When the bill was brought to the table, the server had only taken off one entree. I showed him my papers and he promptly took off both of the entrees and we owed nothing. The server even brought us a bag of warm breadsticks to take home with our leftovers. Thank you Olive Garden!

    When we got there the place was packed as ever. We ended up waiting for 40 minutes the lobby getting more packed every second. It turns out that there was a whole section open but they didn't want to seat us until the wait staff for that section got there. The food was amazing as normal. Our server was really nice, but seemed to need more help than she was getting. No one wanted to help the table of ten sitting across from us so she had to do that, serve us, and two other tables. At the end of the meal she was very helpful of getting me some desert I wasn't allergic to, however when I did get my ice cream it was melted. I will probably come back here though.

    My boyfriend and I went in for his birthday dinner a few weeks ago and it was probably one of the best dining experiences I've had in a while. We had Rene as our server and she was very knowledgeable about all the wines and food and very friendly and attentive. The food was also pretty great that night. We'll be back soon.

    Thought I'd save a few $ and go to OG. Since when is it appropriate for men or women to wear t shirts with slogans that start with the word " PISS ' on it? I hate to sound like a prude. But, HALF the clientele looked as if they live in a shelter. A women at the table next to us wearing a "Rednecks" T shirt looked like a crack addict. Our waiter was great. The food was OK. But, only eat here if you don't mind eating in the kids playhouse at McDonald's. I almost forgot. I like Parmesan, but this place has the smell OOZING from it. I will not go back.

    I absolutely love the Gorgonzola Steak Alfredo... I don't think there is a better combo on the menu!

Italian Cuisine

The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.

Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.

If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.
