Reviews for Olive Garden
Whenever I eat at Olive Garden, the only food I like is the bread sticks and the salad. In fact, I spend the whole time just eating these items. Their entrees are not good at all. The best place for Italian Food is MACARONI GRILLE, but they are closed.
Anyway, the reason for my review is this: I know of three people that have had credit card fraud issues with the staff at Olive Garden. One lady's card wasn't returned to her. The employee used the card to buy plasma TVs at Walmart. Another lady had to request her card from a server who had placed it in her pocket. Another lady had her $15.00 meal rang up at $75.00.
My advice: use CASH at Olive Garden at the Montgomery location.

I love the breadsticks and salad at Olive Garden. This is all you can eat! The entrees are good, also. However there are other local Italian restaurants that are much better.

We love Olive Garden...sometimes the service is slower than we like and the wait time on tables can be long, but the food is always excellent! We will continue to eat there.

I have always enjoyed any time we have eaten at Olive Garden. I like everybody else, love both the salad and the bread sticks. I also enjoy slowing down a bit and just enjoying a good meal, with a friendly waiter or waitress that always seems anxious to please. I do prefer the right side of the restaurant over the left.......I don't know why, service is good on both, maybe it seems like there is more "room" for a big man on the right side...LOL......but none the less I have never left here, especially if you catch one of those never ending pasta deals...if not just fill up on salad!! Parking is not a problem and there is easy access in and out of the lot. Restaurant is always clean, food is always good, prices med. range for meal of similar quality and service.

I can not say enough good things about their salad and breadsticks. I could go there just for that reason. I like there lasagna, also. It is always a good choice for a restaurant.

They start you out with that luscious vivid green salad with the olives, those excellent bread rolls, and then the tough part ...
Deciding what to get. ..
... Traditional spaghetti will do you well, then again why not some alfredo, or get some kind of combination.
