| - I am gonna be real with y'all and say I am not the biggest Olive Garden fan....but my family is. So, while I wouldn't necessarily CHOOSE to come here, I come because I love my peeps and the food isn't half bad. In full disclosure, I do not eat bread, pasta or anything gluten related. Previously, this was a problem at OG because they didn't have anything that I could eat. But, I am happy to say....that has slowly become a thing of the past. They now give the ability to get chicken and shrimp that is not breaded. I mean, that is pretty cool. Props to OG for appealing to those of us watching our carby's! My review is based on the overall experience of everyone at the table (and yes, I did a short research survey!)
The service at this location is always VERY good. I have yet to come with the familial humans and get poor service. French, one of the managers, is truly a breath of fresh air. He is kind, happy and goes out of his way to make sure you are happy. A great attitude, a fantastic smile and a genuine desire to serve. Lots of private lot parking here and the location is pretty good too. The restaurant is of average cleanliness (you know me, one star just for that) and I will take it. Some OG's are DIRTY!
The overall consensus of the food was positive. Average star rating round the table was 4 outta 5. Just to get it outta the way, everyone loves the breadsticks....save me of course. Here is what we got and the feedback it received:
1) Shrimp appetizer with spicy sauce: I am the one who ate this and lemme tell ya, it is really good. NICE AND SPICY. It isn't a good meal until my nose is running, my mouth is burning and my eyes are watering. A decent portion too (I made it my meal and ate salad!)
2) Tour of Italy (grilled chicken parm, ravioli in alfredo sauce, pasta with meat sauce): My girls split this. The TOI used to be so much larger....really felt skimped on everything here. The chicken breast was TINY and the pasta portions were too. The girls told me everything tasted really good though.
3) Linguine with alfredo sauce and shrimp: My brothers split this one. Simple, easy and they both gobble it up. A HUGE portion as well!
4) Steak gorgonzola pasta: My mom always gets this and loves it. Meat is tender and flavorful and it comes with an amazing sauce for the pasta. Portion on this one was huge too!
5) Chicken marsala with potatoes: My dad got this....but lemme tell you, the portion is HUGE! He was able to give everyone some food and still end up stuffed. I tasted the chicken and it was definitely good.
6) Salad: We love OG's salad....not gonna lie. I love now that if you ask, they will put spinach in it. This time around, our salad was literally WHITE save the spinach inside. I am so glad we ordered it added. No one wants a salad to come out with no green.
7) Coffee: OG's coffee has to be some of the best restaurant coffee's around. Freshly brewed and super good. Came out cold a few times, but they replaced it no questions.
Overall, this place is pretty decent. All of us ate for $97 (7 people total) so that isn't too shabby either!
