The food tastes really bland to me. I've only been there once and it was years ago and I got stuffed mushrooms. They didn't have a discernable flavor it was just "meh".
It's been a long time since I last went to eat there. I remember the breadsticks being really good. Also, the last one I went to had stray cats on its premises and apparently the staff at the restaurant take them to the vet and feed them and stuff, so that was great, but of course other Olive Gardens will probably not do that.
Their pasta was the biggest let down for me I got the eggplant parmigiana.. the eggplant wasn't fried all the way - not crispy at all and just had breading covering it. The sauce was kind of like ketchup and the noodles looked like they came from a frozen meal. ON TOP OF ALL OF THAT IT WAS 20 DOLLARS. I can get a good pasta anywhere else for like 13-15, so idunno. Maybe I can give the chain the benefit of a doubt and say they were having a bad night, but JEEZ.
sure they have unlimited breadsticks but its not really quality enough for you to want to eat alot of them or to even take them home.
i very, rarely go there. probably been there three times? it's just a mediocre place in my opinion.
I'm from Canada and we dont have them here (at least where I am) I've been to one in the states last summer and I thought it was ok, not as good as everyone seems to hype it up to be.
