Had the waitress from hell. Never smiled, acted like it was a pain to wait on us. Ordered unsweetened iced tea, I was served a flavored tea (I believe raspberry), asked for a replacement & she told me it was unsweetened. Grudgingly brought me a replacement that was not iced but hot tea. During the course of our meal she didn't bus our tables at all, got...

Olive Garden restaurant bathroom

I brought my elderly parents into your Jackson Mississippi store December 3 for lunch. How can you have a restaurant open and serving food, but no working bathroom for the customers. Its a shame. My mother is 79 years old and she urinated on herself because she didn't have a bathroom she could go to..She was embarrassed and i was embarrassed for her..The only thing that saved her from more embarrassment and humiliation is that she wore her big coat to the restaurant.Which by the way i had to place in the dry cleaners because she had to sit in the car with it on and it got soiled from her urine soaked pants.My God, what kind of business are you running.

Olive Garden service employees — waitress

To whom it may concern, I have traveled all over the world, and I like to eat at nice places.. Today, some friends and I ate at olive garden in grand island, nebraska, the foods was fine the service was ok, they were relatively busy, but, our waitress was absolutely gross... She actually had a large fake gold and fake diamond ring hanging down out of her nose, down to her upper lip, gross, I have eaten all over the world, never have I seen any thing as groos as she looked... I expect a waitress to look nice to the customers that she is serving... I do not like getting indigestion from looking at her, sorry, olive garden, but you can do better than that, if, you want to hire people that want to do that to themselves, at least just put them in the kitchen, so we, customers, do not have to look at them.. Thank-you... Al and friends

I'm glad that me and my boyfriend were using our gift cards that we received otherwise I would've complained while we were still there. We went to the West Dundee location in IL. We expected to wait to be seated as we did for about 25 mins. But after we were seated we waited an additional 20 mins before our server even greeted us and when he did he said I'm...

I never like to leave a bad review (as I was a restaurant mgr for 28 yrs) but after my bad experience for the 2nd time at this location I needed to have someone hear me out. I went to olive garden in brownsville, tx on 11/7/2019 at 1230pm I was asked if it was okay if she sat me in the bar area and told me it would be the same service as the dining area and...

Olive Garden sunday lunch

Mom and I had lunch about 1:00 today. She loves the salad it was soggy with dressing 2 olives, 2 peppercinas, a small amount of onions and tomatoes. Pasta was undercooked. The server never refilled our water or brought more bread that we asked for. We were so looking forward to it. A real disappoinment. It was wonderful the last time we were there.

On 1O/25/2019 some of my co-workers and I went to Olive Garden on Benson Dr. for our monthly Friday outing. Prior to going I called to make reservations for a group of ten, however upon arrival I noticed that five of my coworkers had actually shown up. When, we arrived I informed the hostess that we no longer needed a large table considering only five had...

I and several hundreds actually people here in Provo are boycotting your Restaurant! The best thing on your menu WAS Braised Beef Tortellini! I do not understand why you remove it from your menu! Only to turn around and put it back on at a later date. I have talked to employees who say people actually get up and leave because you no longer offer the Braised...

There were 10 of us dining at Olive Garden Saturday night celebrating my birthday. We had a reservation for 6:30. The service was so terrible that it took an hour just to receive our soup/salads and even longer to get drinks from the bar that were ordered prior to our food order. All we kept hearing were excuses and "we will get it as soon as we can". A...

Olive Garden pasta bowl as advertised on tv

Recently, I went to one of your Olive Gardens because it said 10.99 pasta.

We soon found out this was just for pasta any add one were more expensive. This is bad advertising and miss leading.

Spoke with manager he was uncaring and said next time read the fine print.

This left a bad taste in my mouth and bad business.

I probably will not go back

Olive Garden gluten free pasta

For a long time my son who suffers from several food allergies was able to eat the gluten-free rotini safely at Olive Garden . Without any warning whatsoever Olive Garden change the recipe of the gluten free rotini to contain egg . My son has gone into anaphylaxis from consuming egg in the past, and today unknowingly consumed the gluten-free rotini. The only reason I realized it contained egg was because I am vegan and I had also ordered the gluten free rotini and I noticed it had an egg taste to it. We had to rush out of the restaurant to seek medical care because there was no warning or notification that the recipe changed . We are extremely frustrated and upset that the recipe was changed but more importantly that no warning was given and his life was risked because of negligence on the part of Olive Garden . If no reparations are offered we may have to resort to legal action .

Olive Garden chicken scampi/server

I've ordered the chicken scampi for years. The menu lists red onions as one of the ingredients. When the dish was served there weren't any red onions. Not a single one. I asked the server if I could have some. She proceeded to argue with me that the dish never had red onions in it. She said she'd ask the cook if he would prepare some, even though they'd never been served in it before and she adamantly disagreed with me that the menu listed them in it! When she came back, she said the cook said the peppers and onions are mixed together and he just pulls them out of a can and didn't get any onions. Out of a can? Her service was as lacking as her knowledge of your product. A disappointment for sure.
