| - We hit the O.G. almost every Saturday or Sunday night. Not always this location. Sometimes the location by Fiesta Mall, sometimes the one down Elliot by the I-10. Depends on our day but the O.G. is a constant. What isn't a constant is the food OR service. Tonight was a 4 Star however.
Our server was Kamren. He was awesome. He did everything right. And for our group, that can be hard. He brought drink refills before we had to ask. He spaced out our food perfectly so we were not rushed but everything still came out hot. He was attentive but not oppressive. As I said, awesome.
We started with the Calamari. ($9.99) Unfortunately, this time it was over breaded & over cooked. Not their best effort.
A couple of us got the all-you-can-eat salad which is what I always get. Other than wishing they put more tomatoes or other veggies like carrots in it, ultimately, it's an ok salad. Tip: If you want you very own huge bowl of salad, order it with the dressing on the side and you'll get your own bowl while the other salad eaters will get to share the salad with the dressing on it. Boooyaa.
The other two got the Minestrone soup. Lots of vegetables & a good broth. Decent soup.
C got the Cucina Mia ($9.99) which is basically choosing the type of pasta you want & what sauce you want added. C always gets the Tri-color vegetable Penne. It's one of the ways we get him to eat vegetables & he doesn't even know it. He also gets meat sauce on the side because he likes to dip his pasta in the sauce. And he gets a side of 3 meatballs ($2.79). The pasta was cooked right, the sauce was hot & tasty & the meatballs were moist & flavorful. Winner winner Tri-color Penne dinner.
K got the Cucina Mia ($9.99) with wheat Linguine & half meat sauce & half garlic asiago alfredo sauce on the side and added a couple of Chicken meatballs ($2.79). Topped with about a cup or so of the grated cheese & K was happy. Well, up to the point she bit into a huge clove of roasted garlic. Yuk. The pieces of garlic in the sauce need to be chopped down to size or minced but whole cloves don't work. Since the pasta was cooked right & the meat sauce was tasty the garlic was the only mis-step in this dish.
C's grandma C got the build your own Tour of Italy which lets you pick 3 different mini entrees. Grandma C got Eggplant Parmesan, Prosciutto Tortellini and Fettuccini Alfredo. ($12.99) Grandma C said it was all cooked fine and tasted great.
My Tour of Italy consisted of Chicken Lombardy (chicken breast covered in cheese and bacon bits), Five Cheese Ziti & Lasagna. ($15.29). The Ziti was alright, a bit on the dry side because there wasn't enough sauce on it. The Chicken Lombardy was tasty as was the Lasagna. My comment here is that the Lasagna is really a pathetic portion. I think they need to up the portion of the Lasagna to make it worth the $$.
A fantastic server, all you can eat Soup or salad and bread sticks, tasty entrees but over cooked Calamari and paltry portions on some of the items. 4 Stars.
