I was hungry so I stopped in. Not hard to be seated at 4:30PM. FIrst time at an OG.
Salty, doughy breadsticks. Minestrone OK.
Eggplant parmesan, greasy, boring cheese. The red sauce, peppery but no substantial flavor.
Chicken parmesan. Might as well walk down the street, head into McDonald's, pay one fifth the price and order some chicken nuggets.
"Have we arrived at our taste destination?" Huh? No, we aren't in Italy. Italian food is light years beyond what is served at OG. Maybe I ordered the wrong thing. If you can't do the basics correctly, how are the other dishes fare?
This chain of restaurants is one of many contributing to American obesity. Quantity vs. quality. "Unlimited soup, breadsticks" makes you think you got a bargain. I think not. I left full, but I can get full at McDonald's too. Americans don't know the difference any more.
