Good Ole reliable Olive Garden. You're not going to get 5 star service, you're not going to get 5 star food. What you will get is some pretty darn good italian food at a reasonable cost, especially if you go there during their all you can eat soup and salad or the never ending pasta bowl.
The Olive Garden has become one of those places where you know the food is going to be good everytime you go. They don't move their menu around every 6 months like alot of places do. They offer consistency over variety. That's not to say the food is boring, quite the opposite. The Olive Garden has found a niche that works for them and I for one appreciate it.
On occasion they will bring some new dishes from their culinary school that might be worth a try. They also do the same thing with their seasonal desserts. Which reminds me, if you haven't tried the pumpkin cheesecake ye, WTF are you waiting for. That thing is delicious!
