Olive Garden
reviews and complaints

Hi,

I went to your location in san patricio (Store # 7102002, puerto rico on sunday. The service was good and the food delicious, but the carpet was very dirty. The carpet even smell really bad. They need to clean it or remove it
Also, I request for the wi-fi and they said that the wi-fi was only for the register not for the use of the guess.

Thanks

It 's sad that the discriminatory hiring and firing practices have migrated from Darden's Bahama Breeze and Capital Grille now to Olive Garden. I would hope they would change their practices regarding filtering out older employees. Sad. Older workers systematically fired says a lot about a companies values which they claim they hold so high. No Love in Olive Garden.

Me and 2 of my friends came in and we waited at least 20 minutes on someone to come take our drink older then once we ordered our drinks we placed our order which took over an hour to come out. Once we finally got our food, my noodles were hard and rhe sauce was cold. And my friend me gluten free noodles were so hard we could break them in half so then they gave her a to go order of free "and better" pasta and when she got home there was NO sauce on the pasta and rhe noodles were still hard.

I have complained twice already about the service I had at an olive garden about 1.5 months ago without any response and I am very disappointed . My food was not by any means fresh and came out cold and you could definitely tell it was old . After waiting over an hour I expected to get fresh food. Not only that, but we had to wait about 15 minutes to get more breadsticks every time we asked . The restaurant was not crowded at all and our service was still bad . I'm very disappointed that I still haven't heard back from anypne .

The wait was a hour and 12 minutes for my carryout order. Whole cloves of garlic and roasted red peppers was added to my order which isn't what I asked for. I asked for extra bread sticks I was told there's an additional charge and only given two which my order. The hostess was very rude. This is the second unpleasant experience at this location within a week...

My Name is Elizabeth Shoulders, I dined in your location in Merrillville IN on 1/29/2017 at 20:39:17. My finance and myself choose to celebrate our birthdays there. It brings great sadness to my heart we almost choose Coopers Hawk instead during our visit there we encountered unpleasant behavior. While entering the establishment walking to the host stand the host greets us and we are having a conversation a server by the name of Kelly cuts us off and asks the host why she wasn't phased to go home yet. The host replies first in first out and she then got upset throughout the evening walking past our table she complained over 4 times how she wanted to go home already talking to another server telling him that she wasn't suppose to be there either. It just bring concerns and negatative thoughts about the restaurant. We noticed her uniform was unclean and we felt uncomfortable. My finance and I decided we were just going to leave we felt unwelcome as we were getting up from the table our server by the name Taylor was very pleasant we went as far to ask her if she was our server as we were greeted she stated indeed was and we sat back out. Taylor took our order and is a asset to your company however I will NOT be back I spent almost $60 for complete drama. Servers we standing around counting there money for the night to go home right next to our table having full conversation and all. I really gave this company a higher rating then I thought it actually upholds.thank you for taking the time out to listen.We also didn't let a manger know while dining in we were unhappy we didn't want to seem like we were a bother my finance and myself both work in the hospilitatly industry being a server and a kitchen manager. I really hope you take the time out to properly groom your employees.

Olive Garden has the great deal of unlimited soup & salad, but every time I go, I always feel like I'm limited to a certain amount of soups. Whenever I ask the waiter for more soup, they always seem to get frustrated. I guess it's because the price is $7.99 and they're not getting as much tip as if I would order an entree. I come here especially for the Zuppa Toscana and the salad. All the Olive Gardens that I have gone to to get this unlimited soup and salad, I've always had bad experiences. The waiters always gives me the check right away after my third soup. I feel as if they want me to leave as soon as possible. I went to the Olive Garden today at Garden City and when I asked for more soup, the waiter actually told me that I have him "going back and forth for soup." Why would Olive Garden have this deal if the people who work there hate bringing customers unlimited soup and salad and make it so uncomfortable? It sucks because I love coming here for the soup and salad but I always feel unwelcomed and horrible asking for more soup.

I totally dislike the fact that you guys took away the pizza. I was a real heavy fan of Olive Garden but you guys really hurt my heart and my soul when you took away the pizza. Please please please bring it back... you ruined my childhood and adulthood. Bring it back as soon as possible! I am not playing around buddy pizza is life and you guys had the best pizza ever! BRING IT BRING IT BRING IT! RESURRECT THE PIZZA!

Me and my husband was at the Olive Garden in Uniontown PA and I ordered the spaghetti and meatballs and sausage started eating bit into a piece of wood told the waitress she said the manager took my meal off of our bill and gave me another meal so I got the chicken Alfredo to go well decided to eat it for lunch today well as I'm eating bit into bone and grissel so I ended up getting sick very disappointed with your company right now

Management at the Fairview Heights, IL location are extremely unprofessional. When the issue of theft was brought up, they stated that the employees stealing were teenagers and refused to address the issue and asked us to leave! Also, I witnessed employees stealing tips off of their coworkers tables! On another occasion, the dishwasher got severely burned by the scolding water and management told her to go back to work or be fired. Can not believe these managers are allowed to continue to work at this location. My family will never eat there again unless there is a management make-over.

I made an online order from olive garden on 1/15/17 and picked it up at 1:30pm. I ordered chicken alfredo. While eating a piece of chicken from the alfredo I bit something extremely hard and sharp. It appeared to be a piece of glass or a similar object. Either way it had no business being in my food and I almost choked on it. This is unacceptable. These types of "mistakes" cannot be overlooked. This could have gotten caught in my throat had I not caught it in time.

Olive Garden Kingston Pike, Knoxville Tn. Was eating and Gentleman brought a black fuzzy dog in restaurant, commenced to letting it up in a couple different seats and actually took it to eat with him. I am not only allergic but do not eat after animals, even though I love dogs outside. I will not go back sadly, even though me and my friends love the food and the service. The dog was in the same seat that I had sat in. Not acceptable.

I went to the take out, ordered the soup above, they said it would be 10 min, as they had to make a new batch.
Well, it was terrible, watery, an not the same as we had got before, or when we have had dinner there a while ago. We were very disappointed, as we had take out before an it was delicious, vegetables were under cooked, An just not the same as always. Big pieces of tomatoes, not sure we will order that soup again., or even eat at the Olive Garden again. Very in happy customer.

I couldve believe it. N i couldve ate more. But i was so upset. I just wanted out of there. Now the next day. I go to eat my soup that was a compliment for her screwing up the first 2 times.

We go there very often. N scarred to now. If i gonna b that stressed over a luncheon.

On Thursday, Jan 5, 2 friends and I stopped at the Olive Garden in Coralville, IA at around 1:45 for a late lunch. Our waiter was Joe, and he was wonderful. We were not thrilled with the food. I realize we were past lunch and prior to dinner service, however, we were served the dregs of the lunchtime meal. I ordered Fettucine with grilled chicken. I received Angel Hair pasta which was so dry, I had to ask for extra sauce. Normally, m fettucine is draped in a velvety sauce. Not this time. Leftovers. The chicken was crispy to almost burned on one side. The breadsticks would go hard in about 4 minutes - microwaved? My friend ordered Cavatappi with Alfredo sauce and it was dry and her chicken was also crispy to burned. The other friend ordered Cavatappi with meat balls and received meatballs with no sauce on. Naked meatballs.

So disappointing as we only get to Olive Garden once every 2 months or so and we really look forward to our Olive Garden lunches. We live 50 miles away. And, our bill came to $75.00.

My husband and two children went to eat at olive garden in Lafayette la. About 630 yesterday evening. The staff and our waiter was very good . My family and I left the restaurant and started our drive to our town which is an hour and about 30 minutes away. About five minutes after we left we began vomiting and practically using the restroom in our clothes which was not exactly fun to say or do. My children are very very ill right now and so are my husband and I. I'm sure it's food poisoning. We were fine before . Not one thing to complain about until we ate and left.

It took 20 min for a waiter to ask about drinks, another 10 to get drinks, 15 to place order, over 40 min to get salad, soups, then my soup had plastic in it. Manager said it happens. So I canceled my food, my family loves Olive Garden, our Christmas tradition to go eat there before shopping and now I will not go back. I just thought it took to long and was very disgusted by the plastic in my soup.

In Knoxville, TN Turkey Creek area-- we love Olive Garden. But last Friday night we had terrible food. We were kind of shocked ☹️ We ordered the 5 cheese ziti and it came out with a crusty top on it. We found it odd since we order it almost every time we eat there. Then biting into it was luke warm. So now we know why it had a crust on it. It got thrown in the oven in an attempt to warm it up. Then the noodles were not even close to done or al e Dante. Hopefully this is a 1 time experience.
