"Ordered online. The food was very though and they offer half portions, which was great since it was getting late and I did want to eat my food fresh. My order was delayed so I went 10 min later. I had to way longer time after checking in. The young lady who brought the food out was very courteous."

"The drink i had was amazing, loved the breadsticks and salad. Was not impressed with my pasta, I felt it needed more seasoning. It also had sooo much oil on it."

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had zero expectations before visiting here—my friend suggested it and I usually don’t even like Italian pasta or cheesy food. My mood was off when I walked in, but the moment I entered everything changed. The vibe was welcoming, the music was amazing, and the ambience was beautiful. My server Ryle was absolutely fantastic—so professional, attentive, and friendly. The food completely won me over: Italian margarita, house salad, chicken margherita, calamari, mousse cake… everything was perfect. I left with such a good impression and can’t wait to come back!"

"I could just dip my head in the salad bowl. I love their salad. Got soup...minestroni, because I pig out on salad. Can't really report on other food, because I always get the soup and salad. Order the Alfredo sauce for shipping the bread sticks... so good. Very attentive server. 7/3/24 getting your name on the way list is a good idea except, I found out tonight, that the time does expire. So don't call ahead to early. Three of our party ordered gnocchi soup. ONE person got two gnocchi. Server said it would be an hour before the second batch was ready. Chicken scampi was so-so. But what do you really go to OG for...? SALAD! 9/14/24 good as always, but an inattentive server. 4/29/25 Not busy on a Tuesday for lunch. Got my same favorite: endless soup and salad. Always get the minestroni. Bread sticks are really good if you get the Alfredo dipping sauce. 8/20/25 oh yum. Lunch portion of spaghetti with marinara sauce. Hubs got chicken Alfredo with broccoli. Got my Alfredo dipping sauce for the bread sticks. Salad... salad.. salad... so good. We got the jackpot with the chocolate mints! 12/15/25 spaghetti. Lunch size portion, and still brought some home. THE SALAD! Bread sticks... have to get the Alfredo dipping sauce. So good. 3/7/26 family met for lunch. Not ask that busy for a Saturday. Worries me. But salad and soup were good."

"We are in Savannah, GA for business trip and decide to have an early dinner before heading back to Atlanta. It's been a while since we last ate at an Olive Garden and this one really did not disappoint! Our server was very attentive and friendly! We started with the Calamari appetizer, as well as their never ending bread sticks which were both fresh, hot and yummy! Hubby ordered Chicken Parmesan and had a special to be able to take an additional frozen Fettuccine Alfredo home for free as well as never ending salad! I ordered the Seafood Alfredo and had the never ending soup and chose the Chicken & Gnocchi soup which is piping hot and so delicious, along with all the other dishes mentioned above! We enjoyed everything at this place and had such a blessed time! Thank you!"

"Another great experience at this well known chain. Our server, Brayleigh, was the epitome of an excellent server. And, she had only been there a week! Her trainer, Paradise, received accolades from us on not only what a wonderful young lady and server Brayleigh is, but also what a great trainer she is. As always, our entire food experience was awesome...from soup and salad to entree and dessert. It's just difficult to decide what to order! Kudos to Olive Garden's staff for their commitment to service and a consistently excellent product!"

"We’ve been eating here for about two years, and it’s always been good — nothing to complain about. But today we came for lunch, and wow, it was amazing! Probably the best meal I’ve ever had here. I usually get the Tour of Italy, but this time I tried the Chicken Carbonara, and it was absolutely delicious. The salad, pasta — everything was excellent. I’ll definitely be ordering this again on my next visit!"
