Olive Garden Italian Restaurant

I go to Olive garden and get a meal that I will take home and fill up on the soup, mainly because I…read morereally do love the Zuppa Toscana, thats the main reason I go there, the meal is just a bonus. So I'm a big boy and usually dont eat anything all morning, so I can eat 4 or 5 bowls, especially as they fill it less and less with each bowl to trick me I guess. I would actually be out of there sooner if they filled them to the top as I am eating that Zuppa Toscana deliciousness till I cant. Here is the kicker, the last couple bowls are awfully watery, you can tell they pour some water in there, or add less stuff to the broth, or something as the broth is even mostly clear and you can taste the difference. That may only be the one in Covington GA that does it, but they have done it several times with different servers, so I am convinced its a policy or directed by the manager. Another thing, from what was mentioned to me by a server who asked me to pay for the meal early and she would still serve me, the servers get dinged if the person is at the table more than 29 minutes, so they have a big incentive to brow beat and avoid your eyes for refills hoping you will leave. Still the service is super good, I haven't had a less than stella experience from the people that work there. The watered down last couple bowls still tastes alright so I would still recommend going here if you like Olive Garden.

Until today, I haven't been to Olive Garden in about 20 years (I had a gift card). I remember why…read more It's still not good. I had shrimp Alfredo. The sauce was bland and flavorless, and the pasta was hard, stuck together and discolored on top, like it had been sitting there for a while before being served. The soup was also flavorless and bland. No salad due to cyclospora outbreak - the main reason I went. The bread sticks are pathetic. Even the hard-as-a-rock butter didn't help. The service was outstanding.

Fettuccine Alfredo: Our signature alfredo made fresh in-house every day, served over fettuccine.

Minestrone: Fresh vegetables, beans and pasta in a light tomato broth.

It is important to note…read morethey have a rotating, seasonal menu, which also means you cannot locate their present menu online nor can you rely on that to decide what you'll have when you're there. I speak from experience as the hanger steak my brother saw online and wanted (which made us pick this restaurant) was not available this particular evening. On to the better stuff: I really liked their welcoming vibe and relaxed atmosphere. Complimentary sourdough bread was immediately served as well as celebratory champagne for my little brother's birthday. We started with the hush puppies appetizer and the French onion dip, which came with a bag of Zappo's potato chips. For dinner, I ordered the four cheese pasta, which I was informed is made in-house and is leaving the menu very soon. My only complaint was the size of the wine pours. When I inquired, they stated the pour was 6 ounces. The kind surprise was a generous top off when they sensed my disappointment. Their kids' menu -which isn't printed - is a little limited. Kids can pick from grilled cheese, chicken skewers, and a hamburger. One kiddo had a hamburger and my son snacked on their shoestring fries. All other adults ordered burgers and everyone seemed to enjoy their dinner. One more complimentary surprise showed up near the end of dinner which was a miniature Keylime pie in celebration of my brother's bday. Back home, we have very few restaurants that offer so many complimentary items. That definitely sets this restaurant apart from others. Also, having a small menu means they likely give lots of attention to the entrees they serve. Definitely recommend City Pharmacy!

Let me start off saying that we always love going to Stevie B's but this was the first time going…read moreto this one. We were recently in the area and decided to stop at this Stevie B's. Upon entry we were greeted pleasantly from the staff. The prices are $10.99 all day on the weekend and $7.99 during the week if you get there before 3:00 p.m. They also have a discount for children and seniors. After we paid we started to get our food and I noticed that all of the pizzas were fully stocked but they were all so dried out. I decided to try it maybe looks can deceive you when I tried the pizza it was like eating cardboard all of the pizzas in there were like that totally dried out. The time we went was on a weekend probably around 2:00 p.m. and there was a few other people in there but there's no excuse why to have such dried out pizza since you are paying a higher price for it on the weekend and expect nothing but the best service no matter what time of day you are there. From being at other Stevie B's I noticed they did not have any pretzel bites ok no problem. I also noticed that the salad bar was behind the counter and you had to ask to have them to make you a bowl of salad if you chose that route which I thought was kind of weird and annoying since it's an all you can eat place that is serve yourself and they're serving you the salad. Decided that I needed some sauce for the cardboard dehydrated Pizza to make it less dry that was also behind the counter and you had to ask them to give you a cup if you chose that as well. Not sure if it was just a bad day at this Stevie B's but there's no excuse for it my overall experience at this Stevie B's I would not be back again the pizza was totally garbage and that's saying it lightly. The staff was nice and the restaurant was clean on a positive note.

While there, I asked an employee if I could add Crazy Bread, and he politely said yes and began helping me. Another employee came from the back and yelled at him, "What are you doing?" When the employee explained that I wanted to add something, the other employee responded, "I don't care what they want, that's going to mess up my system," while I was standing right there. He eventually told the employee to ring the Crazy Bread up separately. When I became confused after being asked if I wanted the "combo," the same person yelled at me, "Do you want the sauce or not?" At that point, I said never mind, paid for my original order, and left. My sister was on the phone with me and heard the interaction as well. What makes this even more disappointing is that when I returned to the store on September 21 and described the person involved, I learned that he was the General Manager. I submitted a complaint about the incident on September 12 and received no response, so I have now contacted management above the store directly. I understand that restaurants have procedures and that adding something to an order can sometimes require a separate transaction. That was never my issue. My issue was being yelled at and hearing a General Manager say he did not care what a customer wanted simply because I asked to add Crazy Bread. I spent $33.67 at this location to pick up food for a birthday party. I should not have been made to feel like an inconvenience for asking a basic question. I'm sharing my experience so other customers are aware.

I joined a friend for dinner and I chose the bang-bang shrimp for an appetizer and the garlic Parmesan wings with onion rings for my entree. The onion rings are a $3 up charge. If you order the Rasta Pasta and get salmon it's a $9 up charge. Our server delivered great customer service throughout our dining experience but I didn't like that they automatically charge you 18% gratuity without properly communicating it. Then, I paid an extra tip without realizing the gratuity was already included. This was my 1st time dining here and I didn't know that, neither is it posted anywhere and our waitress didn't mention it either. I realized it when I asked for a printed receipt. It was only two people in my party so I didn't understand why the 18% gratuity was automatically charged. I didn't appreciate the deception. TIP: Please be aware of exactly what you're paying for and ask for a printed receipt before you pay your bill. The ambiance was very loud because they had a live DJ It was the bang-bang shrimp for me.

When we entered, there was no one at the hostess desk, so my husband went to find someone, and they soon arrived right after. I will say I was in disbelief at her attire. She had on what looked like (at first glimpse) pajamas! But even if it actually wasn't, why would you wear that as a hostess at a restaurant, and not only that, why would your manager allow you to wear it? Anyway, we were seated and our waitress, Amber was very pleasant! I ordered the Spanish Omelet, and my husband got the breakfast burger w/ a side of potatoes and grits. My omelet was good, needed a little more seasoning but it was edible. My husband said that his burger was good, he would get it again, but the grits needed more work. He actually didn't take them w/him and he had a lot left over before he got full. Just be warned that a service fee is auto added to your check. Also, you don't get a paper check (tab), you have to see you check on their device. So, if you don't ask to see your total, you won't know until you actually get the printed receipt. I would go back to taste their dinner entrees. All in all, go try it out for yourself!
