High price
May 4, 2018

Quality of food is ok but the price is very high. We can get same quality of food in local restaurants. Encourage those restaurants rather going chains like these.

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.

Website is amazing!
April 17, 2022

I love the Olive Garden website! It is so easy to order whether for to go, pick up, delivery or catering. I really enjoy the snip its of the menu displaying the yummy foods! Makes you so hungry :). I also love the fact that you can easily see when ordering the price, the image of the food/beverage, and even the nutritional information/calories. So easy to browse and order in.

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.

This place really does have good meals and the customer service has always been great. Though they are a little more expensive then other restaurants but probably worth it. I have only been here a few time and have never had a bad experience.

I went to Olive Garden to celebrate my birthday a few days ago. The wait time wasn't long, my server was very attentive and polite, it didn't take long for my food to arrive and my appetizer and entree was delicious. The restaurant was clean, the seating was perfect and the atmosphere was great. I would definitely eat another meal here in the future.

Best Night EVER
March 28, 2019

Dear Manager at Olive Garden,
I must commend you on the service at your restaurant. A couple weekends back, my girlfriend and I were eating at your establishment. Our server was named Jasmine, and she gave us such a great night. Jasmine, or Jazz was so attentive to all our needs. She recommended a delicious ravioli that my girlfriend and I both loved. The food came out at the proper time and it was also delicious. Jasmine was funny and thoughtful. I did not want to be a bother and have her box up my left over breadstick, but she did it without hesitation. Sometimes chain restaurants get a knock for not being as good as smaller owned, "fine dining" establishments, but I could not disagree more. I have worked in many of these restaurants, as well as have eaten in more. Our night at your Olive Garden ranks up there with the best of them. Jazz and the other members of your team are amazing. We will definitely be back!

Just read review
July 28, 2023

I know a person who worked there, but was a newbie for a little over a month and they fired her. (For being slow!) She was hired full-time but they only scheduled for 2 days a week, started training her in different positions. But as of today she got let go. For one, if she worked the full time shifts she would have had more practice but "no" they gave her little hours. Even when she asked for more they didn't. And for someone being a newbie don't just throw them in and expect a pro. What ever happened with team work? Especially for a newbie. This is the one in SLC (Sugar house). I'm very turned off on how she was given up on instead of team work. Is this the way they treat their employees? Plus we are hearing that they dis on people who are LGBTQ ect.I love their food but to hear how they treat newbie's and don't give them the hours they were hired for and training she felt that she was just thrown into the wolves to figure it out herself. Shame, and I live close to that one but I will kindly go to a different one.

On October 14th I had a party of 10 go to olive garden for my daughters birthday. They had 2 servers helping our table but it was more like 1. One would take all the orders the other would bring them to the table. It started off with the seating.
We got there knowing we would wait for a table with a large group. They didnt tell us half the party had to arrive be fore they would seat us. Only after they seated a party of 7 20 minutes after we arrived did we learn this.
They waitresses took our drink order and got us incorrect drinks. After that they took our food orders and wrote my order down wrong. Instead of fixing it (I ordered the unlimited pasta) they showed me what she wrote down. I left it alone. I wanted a second bowl but after they served our food my drink never got refilled and they never came back. We had to ask other servers for to go boxes. And then we had to ask other servers to get our bill split correctly. It was very disappointing. I have had questionable service before but I have never felt like an annoyance or a nuisance at the restaurant that my daughter insists on going to at least once a month.
I will seriously reconsider going there anytime in the near future. I get better service from our fast food places.

ABERCORN STREET OLIVE GARDEN SAVANNAH GA Gives poor service, POOR MANNERS BY WAITSTAFF. I dont know about you but i like good service and to feel like family when i go to Olive Garden. Didn't the OLIVE GARDEN commercial promise that? But there you dont get it.RARELY SAW WAITRESS and we sat in the BAR AREA. I saw her when she was ready to get the check and tip. I had problems paying on the machine and even then couldn't find her. NO SMILE or welcome vibe it felt like we were bothering the staff there. I don't think the waitress even acknowledged we were there unless I flag down other servers for something or she saw me eyeing her. I had a table full of dishes I complained to manager about the fact that it's uncomfortable to eat when all the other dishes were on the table she just kinda blew me off and continued to put the main dish food down. I mean we had several large entrees and that large salad bowland soup still on the table. All was on the table and no room but somehow they still placed entrees. Very poor manners very poor customer service, female manager does not care either way if customer is happy. Male manager and take out guy could care less that I expressed problems with service. Who hired these people. Why come to work and work in the service field and NOT PROVIDE good service but expect a good tip. I'm just saying people. This Olive garden is no longer what it used to be. Who ever is hiring staff should be fired. Obviously I'm not alone.READ THE OTHER REVIEWS. I can't make

Unacceptable
January 22, 2022

I use to dine here 2010-2012 and order the chicken marsala with mashed potatoes. It would be enough food to fill me up completely and enough to have boxed and take home for a second meal. Last time I went, the chicken marsala was rubbery but I was hungry and ate it anyway. My 12 year old had ordered the chicken alfredo and declared the noodles were undercooked and the sauce watery. He ate about 2 bites. We were given 3 breadsticks and the waitress upsold us on the $4.00 dipping sauce. The amount of food I was served was not enough to even fill me up that visit so I realized I could forget about leftovers. By the time we got the dipping sauce, we had consumed the breadsticks but assumed more breadsticks would be coming. The waitress left to get the breadsticks but returned to informed us they were out of breadsticks for the rest of the day. This was on a Saturday at 2pm. We complained about the food (service was fine) and received a gift card. We returned a couple weeks later and there weren't any hiccups with the breadsticks but the chicken marsala was once again rubbery, once again the portion size wasn't enough for 2 meals and didn't fill me up. My son ordered a steak and told me it was the worst he'd ever had. He requested we never eat at Olive Garden again. His request has most definitely been granted. Bottom line: substandard food for high prices. I should have supported a locally owned place. I'd paid less, probably gotten more food and it would have tasted better.

Olive Garden, Liberty, MO
Store: 1753
5-20-2022 Check No. *******
OUTSTANDING SERVICE AND CUISINE! In celebrating our 51st anniversary, we chose The Olive Garden to enjoy our special day. We have never been disappointed in the Olive Garden's professional staff as they carried out serving their customers.
Server, Makyha H, was polite and courteous while taking care of our requests. Her timing was perfect as we dined on well prepared foods starting with salad, appetizers and cocktails, rounding off with our perfectly prepared chief's entrees.
To complete our feast, Dianna Armenta, GM, treated us to a tasty Black Tie Mousse Cake for desert honoring our anniversary.
We would recommend this restaurant to anyone who is searching a feel good relaxing dining experience.
Regards, G. Sanders
