Our waitress was phenomenal! We celebrated my Dad's 98th birthday. She told us he gets free dessert. She catered to him and just made him feel special. The food was good too.

I am not one to go leaving reviews, but this experience must be shared. I visited Olive Garden with my mom and son today at opening, 11am. Our drinks didn’t come before or with our salad which was fine. When the salad came we realized there was a hair in it as we distributed across the table. We asked for a new salad. No apologies on the hair. Moved on. The waitress kept picking my sons sippy cup by the mouth of the cup instead if the body which was gross in itself, but I didn’t say anything. When my sons macaroni kids meal came, it arrived with French fries instead of broccoli. Eventually the manager brought us the broccoli and told us to to be careful it was fresh out of the microwave so it was hot. The service was already bad at this point, but continued to get worse. As we’re checking out on the tablet provided at the table and also finishing our meal, I find TWO more hairs in his kids meal macaroni. These hairs were deep inside the food. Not on top. The color of the hair was different from the waitress so obviously a kitchen issue. We flag down who we assume is the manager as she’s dressed differently (the same who brought the broccoli). We explain the 3 different hairs and that someone needs to be wearing a hair net in the kitchen. She then responds by asking, “have you paid?” To which we respond we already had, and it wasn’t about getting a free meal. We just wanted her to know how gross it was. She then stared at us for a few moments before walking away. She never once apologized. Never once said that’s awful, I’ll make sure that never happens again. Never asked how she could make it right for the future. I felt like I was in a twilight zone. Like somehow I was wrong for complaining. Just thought I would share. Check your food for hairs! Will never return.

Update: the management reached out to me and tried to make amends. I appreciate that!! Worst experience at Olive Garden ever!! First I’ll give you the information: we visited 7/1/22 and our server was Lala. We visited at dinner time. We arrived at the table and it was clean but it took 10-15 minutes to have the server come to the table. The server instantly told us it was time to order our food. 10 minutes later we get drinks and then 10 more minutes later we get some bread. My friend asked to get a water and the server had told her to “just wait”. Ran out of bread/drinks and would never get a refill. Our food comes out and my friends food was wrong. She ordered margarita chicken and wanted to add just some noodles for the chicken. She was given noodles with meat sauce on the side. She informs the server and she says “why can’t you just put the noodles in the chicken yourself”!! First of all she was given the wrong thing and second why the rudeness? We keep on eating our food without our drinks refilled. Then we ask for some cheese for our food, and the lady told us “this was not a game”. We weren’t laughing of happy about this, we just wanted what we payed for. Later I find a hair in my food which there was no way it was any of ours because of the hair color. I will never go back to this Olive Garden again! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!! Worst Olive Garden in America.

Chicken Alfredo was hot till the end. Lots of sauce and nice size portion. Just needed a little salt: for my taste. Huge salad too.

Yes, they do
No, unless you're getting a catering order.
