    Italian salad
    Jackie J.

    Olive Garden is a classic! You can't go wrong with the unlimited salad and breadsticks. We go to the Oakdale,MN location and enjoy our experience every time! We had a group of 14 people and we typically get our own little area which is nice! The service and servers are wonderful! The food was delicious! For the first time I ordered the never ending pasta bowl. You get a choice of unlimited soup or salad and breadsticks with it. I chose the salad and breadsticks- per usual! Everything was great! I've ordered their strawberry lemonade in the past! It's delicious! My favorite seasonal dessert is the pumpkin cheesecake! It's sooo good! They have gluten free options, meatless, dairy free, NA drinks!

    Black Tie Mousse Cake

    Visited on a Saturday evening.... Party of 3. I added ourselves to the online waitlist, but was somehow bumped off before we arrived, so that was annoying. Then when actually arrived and had to re-add us to the waitlist and we had like a 45 minute wait. Luckily we like to chat. When we finally got a table, it took sometime for our server to greet us, and I do understand it was a busy Saturday night however this just seemed unusually long. When he finally arrived to bring us waters and ask if we'd like anything else to drink, he just never felt fully present as he appeared to be somewhere else.... His mind anyway. I also noticed that when he took our dinner order as well. He was physically there, but mentally not. Each encounter seemed very transactional and almost if we were a bother to his evening. We were rarely checked on and didn't even receive refills on our waters. Everyone seemed to enjoy their meals and dessert that we took to go. Two of us had the chicken tortellini Alfredo and one had the gnocchi soup. Dessert was the black tie mousse cake.

    I haven't been to Olive Garden in years but was having a craving for breadsticks and salad with a side of lasagna. Came on a Friday night, it was busy but not super crowded. We were seated right away, and service was good. We started with the artichoke dip which was delicious and a lot of food for an appetizer. I ordered the lasagna, and while we waited the salad and breadsticks came out. The breadsticks just tasted different to me, the salad was good with the pepperonicini. The portion of lasagna was huge! Had good flavor. We paid our check on the tablet, which was super fast and easy. Solid experience. As the evening went on the place got loud and busy.

    The customer service provided by Taylor and her willingness to make sure we were taken care of. Our food arrived very quickly and was really hot. I ordered the Eggplant Parmigiana and I actually hate to wait about 10min before I could eat it. It was very good and is one of my favorite dishes. I love the overall decor of Olive Garden.

    I ordered the chicken Alfredo pasta and we also got a steak Alfredo pasta. The chicken Alfredo is always my go to!! Service is always great. It's fast and very friendly. Can't go wrong with Italian vibes and music!!

    When I stayed in Eagan back in May, there was a sign up saying that this Olive Garden was coming soon. I was so excited. I have been going to other Olive Garden eateries, mainly in Rochester and Bloomington, to get my fix. Last month, while in the area, I passed by and it was in full swing. Yay! I had to dine here. After a fun evening going to a book signing and shopping at Kowalski's for the first time, I was ready for dinner. Heading over to this Olive Garden felt right. My usual hotel that I stay at is roughly a two-minute drive from this Olive Garden. I arrived at perhaps 8 pm on a Wednesday night. There was lots of parking. I parked and headed inside. I like the setup here. For takeout orders, the pickup area is on the left. For dining, it's on the right. There are also parking spots in front of the restaurant for customers with pickup orders only. It looked like there was a huge wait, but the crowd in front of the reception area was a bit misleading. I found the front and spoke to a couple of female staffers. They immediately found a booth for me to sit down and dine in. I had the most polite, nice server take my order and attend to my hunger. She was professional and helpful. I deviated from my usual order a bit and got the following: - Raspberry lemonade - Zuppa toscana - Chicken marsala fettuccine My raspberry lemonade came out first. It was tart and yummy. I got a refill during my meal. Breadsticks came out next. They were crustier than what I'm used to. They were fine, as I dunked them in my zuppa toscana. It's my favourite soup and I loved it here. I got cheese on top. I normally don't, but felt like a change. It added a saltier layer of flavour. It was good to experiment. Chicken marsala fettuccine is a new menu item to me. When I lived in Rochester, I fell in love with chicken marsala to the point where I'd make it myself. There was an eatery in downtown Rochester that made the best chicken marsala. I need to go back. Victoria's is still alive and kicking. Anyway, I needed to get my fix. My usual dish is chicken scampi. I hope that the chicken marsala fettuccine stays on the menu for a while. It was delicious. I loved the tender chicken that was lightly battered and pan-fried. It had mushrooms and spinach that were lightly sautéed. It reminded me of a similar dish that I used to get at Grapes in Winnipeg that did the same thing with these vegetables. Sadly, Grapes died over a decade ago. The fettuccine was perfectly done. I rarely have fettuccine. I should more often. It was so good, especially with the marsala sauce coating every pasta strand. I'm hungry now. Ugh! When you dine in, you can get a take-home meal for $6 each. There is a maximum of four that you can buy. I got my usual, my spaghetti with meat sauce. I also changed things up by getting the fettuccine alfredo, since my experience with fettuccine here was wonderful. My server packed everything up for me. She was so efficient, which I appreciated. I had these meals for lunch while working remotely that week. They hit the spot and were so yummy. I also love the meat sauce with the perfectly al dente spaghetti. The fettuccine was fun to heat up. You then mix the alfredo sauce with the pasta and it's perfect. I'm still hungry as a recount my food memories. I paid using the tabletop kiosk in front of me. I tipped. My server gave me an Andes chocolate mint well before I paid. Yum! I swiped my credit card. I got my receipt texted to me. I also left positive feedback. My server came over to thank me. So sweet! I let her know that I had an enjoyable time here and thanked her for everything. I dropped by the women's washroom before I headed out. It was clean and the stalls were roomy. I love that Eagan has an Olive Garden at long last. I will definitely be back. (439)

No fuss, no flash--just bold flavors, warm service, and bowls that feel like a hug from the inside out. We ordered the chicken tinga and southern fried chicken bowls, and honestly? They were everything. The chicken tinga was smoky, tender, and layered with just enough spice to wake up your taste buds without overwhelming them. Every bite felt intentional--like someone in the kitchen actually cares how your day is going. The southern fried chicken bowl was pure comfort. Crispy, golden chicken with just the right crunch, nestled into a bed of rice and toppings that balanced richness with freshness. It's the kind of meal that makes you slow down and savor. And the patio? A total gem. Spacious, relaxed, and perfect for soaking up a sunny Minnesota afternoon. Whether you're catching up with friends or just enjoying a quiet solo lunch, it adds a whole extra layer of joy to the experience. The staff were kind, the space was welcoming, and the whole visit felt like a reminder that good food doesn't have to be complicated--it just has to be done with care. If you're in Eagan and need a reset, a pick-me-up, or just a really good bowl of food in the sunshine, go to Lago. They'll take care of you.
