Ugh. I have to say that the Olive Garden is the most consistently crappy restaurant around. It's far from good Italian and everything seems as if it was just poured from a bag and heated up. No matter what Olive Garden I've been to in the country, they're always the same. This is not a good sign. It means that there is one company making all of the food for all of the locations, which means that nothing is fresh.
I was in an Olive Garden once and some teenagers at a nearby table ran out on their bill and the waitress said that she is personally responsible for paying their bill. If this is the case I do not want to support a company with those kind of policies. Especially because of the amount of money that the Olive Garden makes every year.
