This olive garden is fantastic. Like all of them, the menu offers a good selection. The challenge is getting in there - it is always crowded. I've been there at least 20 times and the service has always been good.

This restaurant placed a coupon for $4.00 off in the Sunday paper. My wife and I went to take advantage of the offer. I offered the coupon to the waiter prior to the meal being ordered. He said that he would take it off when we paid. I did not pay proper attention when the bill was paid - but noticed that it was not taken off as we left the restaurant. We immediately returned and were told that since the bill was "closed out" the coupon could not be honored.

Horrible!!!!!!!!!!!
by lilfoot
Ditto What the above person said! I can't even describe how horrible this resturant is! Service is horrible, the food is just nasty. If your hungry and in the area your better off going to mcdonalds or popping in the safeway for one of those $1.25 cheap totonio's Pizza's For a better Itallian food experience then the olive garden!
It is highly over rated the food is priced like a normal resturant rather then what it is, A Denny's with Itallian food.
The service was the worst though, IF they hired compitent people My rating would be a little better. There is nothing worse the bad service I think. I only go out on special occasions, Which fuels my anger of this miseryble experience!
Pros: NONE
Cons: SEE ABOVE

Yuck!

This place is just gross. I used to like their food in other cities, but it is so processed and basic chain food. It is always crowded with 40 min wait or more. If you want delicious more authentic Italian food hop on over to Macaroni Grill in Annapolis.
