Everytime we go to Olive Garden we are sorely disappointed in the silverware. I understand the hot water process, to many washes the cutlery goes thru. And I am sure the water is scalding to clean! What I don't understand is why the manager lets his servers roll these white spotted, finder printed and sometimes good melted on the utensils come to the table looking so unappetizing. (clean or not) the servers have a beautifully pressed and clean cloth napkin and roll horrible looking flatware is so far beyond my comprehension! As they roll why can't they just wipe the silverware down then roll. How freakin hard is that to do. We will bring our own "IF" we EVER Ever return! Even the lady weekday manager agrees with me about the horrible silverware. read more

Me and my wife visited here our waitress Vanna was a excellent waitress for her first time serving us we highly recommend her

Wasn't going to write a review but I ordered take out and I ordered 2meals 2 soups and 2 drinks I get home and I end up getting someone else order. So I call and the manager was really nice and apologized for the inconvenience offered to get my food remade and a refund! Which I accepted and I was happy with that. I go up there get my food go home everything is good until we start eating the soups and there is a long hair that my boyfriend accidentally ate from his soup! after that we lost the appetite to eat anything else very disappointing :( read more

Olive Garden Italian Restaurant - Italian Near Me - Amarillo, Texas

This Olive Garden is the best Italian restaurant in Amarillo Texas! Hands down! I travel for work and even been to other countries and What's sad is that in, Amarillo there's no good Italian restaurants, either the food is so much sauce that it's like eating noodle soup! Or the food has no flavor! Service in Olive Garden is better than most places claiming to something they are not! It's Olive Garden ambience is chain restaurant! Good food great staff! Nothing really wowed me just the fact that this is best Italian restaurant here in Amarillo says everything read more

Excellent speghetti. It's my fave. I was concerned about older reviews and asked our server about it. She promised that if it was not up to par we could order something else. The speghetti was delicious... perfect.. read more

On 2/24/25 My sister and I had Jamez as our waiter at Olive Garden in Amarillo, TX. He was a most gracious server! The food was absolutely delicious!! A wonderful evening with Italian music and food!! read more

It was close to closing time but the staff welcomed us and they were friendly, fed us fresh and hot food. And this was our 2nd time eating at this location. A well deserved 5 stars. read more

Food, Service both not as good as it was before the pandemic, absolutely overpriced. We had takeout and when we got home within 5 minutes the food needed to go into the microwave. The portion as tiny. read more

Black cloth napkins had bread crumbs on them, not to be overshadowed by the fork and knife having old food on them, disgusting, made us wonder about cleanliness in the kitchen. Looked under the table to see gum stuck there. Salad didn't have enough dressing to cover the bitter lettuce taste. Shrimp scampi was OK, but only has 5 small shrimp. The fettuccine Alfredo was not up to par, I usually crave this, very disappointed... Shame on the "chef". Bread sticks barely warm and not as good as I remember. Quality, quantity & price, not good. Some waiters dressed sloppy, bus person very loud loading dirty dishes right next to diners, I blame management for all the above ( he was playing bongo drums with his hands on the wall near bar) read more

Our server was horrible. Anytime she came to the table it was an inconvenience to her. W head asked for ketchup, she never brought it, so we asked another server and she told our server. Our server then laughed in her face and never got any ketchup. Don't get Natasha. read more

Service was great but the food was not so. The bread sticks tasted dry like they were baked a couple days before. We had chicken Alfredo it looked like it had been made the day like noodles had soaked up the Alfredo sauce dry. The chicken was ok but the cook spread Alfredo sauce on time to mask that the noodles were dry. I ordered to go so I could not go back to complain. I don't know that I will go back to this Olive Garden. If you order to go I recommend you examine you food prior to leaving. read more

What happened to you Olive Garden? Used to be so good. First contact was our waitress snapping at my daughter for asking a question on the menu. I ordered fettuccine Alfredo with steak. I asked if it was sliced or just a steak on the side. She told me it was sliced. She brings the salad, mixed it up, seemed to think about serving it, and then just walked off. We get our food, and the steak is missing. They said they'd get it coming right up and remake my plate, since it would be cold. Meanwhile, we have to ask for every drink refill. In fact at one point the waitress was going to get a drink refill and instead stood at the register arguing with someone for several minutes, holding my daughter's empty cup, instead of bringing the refill. My food came back, steak not sliced, and tiny. Toughest steak I think I've ever had, couldn't taste anything but salt. The fettuccine was tough and also tasted strange. Pretty sure it took a trip through the microwave. They comped my meal, which is a good thing because I had one bite and wasn't going to pay a dime for it. The water was good. But this was a garbage experience. I'll won't ever be back. Fazzolis fast food Italian is better than this. read more

Olive Garden Italian Restaurant - My Salad from Olive Garden - Italian Near Me - Amarillo, Texas

You do not often get a trifecta when dining out. Today, with a Christmas gift cert, we dined at Olive Garden on Western and Frontage road. Our serve, Harmony, was efficient. attentive and bubbly friendly. She almost anticipated our wants before asked. Our food was served well and very, very good. The restaurant atmosphere was courteous and we received a Happy New Year from everyone. This how a restaurant should be run. Five stars for the start of a new year. read more

Took my mother to lunch. The food was great as well as the service. I don't know if the cook we playing a joke, but my bread resembles a penis. I was so embarrassed I turned the bread around and gave my Mom the normal sized ones. I would usually laugh and make jokes but this is my Mother who was with me. Day we went was March 17, St. Patrick's Day. I probably won't be taking my Mother here anytime soon again. read more

Olive Garden Italian Restaurant - March 17th, took Mother to lunch and I don't know if a joke but the bread is obviously way to big and resembles a penis. - Italian Near Me - Amarillo, Texas

I visited today with two of my friends and we were sat in the bar area right behind the host table, worst seating in the place, due simply to the terrible attitude the hostess' had. The two were very loudly arguing and bickering at each other, which made me and my friends very uncomfortable while trying to enjoy our dinner. When I addressed the situation to a near-by bussboy, he then told the two girls to be quiet, however; they continued to bicker but at a lower volume. Due to being sat so close to the two, we could still hear it. They then continued to argue the remainder of our meal. Being so hateful towards one another, and openly bickering is not a good look for your hostesses. Even had a weird situation where the host stood in her booth and stared directly into my eyes, very weird but arguably pretty funny. read more

Very nice location. Shrimp Scampi was wonderful as was everything else . Highly recommend it!

I had a wonderful meal and wonderful service when I was here the other night. I went in for the never ending pasta bowl, not because I eat a lot but because the price was right at $9.99. It came with salad. I think it might have come with soup or salad but as soon as I heard salad I said yes. It was such a generous amount I wasn't able to finish it and it was perfectly prepared, nice and crisp with a good dressing and lots of cheese on top. I chose the angel hair alfredo and was only able to finish one bowl. My server was nice enough to offer me a second bowl in a take-home container. I wasn't expecting that. Usually when you do an all-you-can-eat meal there are no leftovers so that was a real treat. She brought two breadsticks and I was only able to finish one. I took the other home. If I had any objection, and it's certainly a small one, it's that she took away the rest of the salad before I could scoop it into my to-go container. She probably figured nobody likes an old salad but I'm the exception to the rule so I would have enjoyed it the next day even if it was wilted. I was going to order a glass of $5 wine. By the time she brought me three samples, each of which was 1/4-1/3 glass of wine, I'd had enough. I offered to pay $5 for the samples since they mostly equaled the glass of wine that I was going to get anyway but was told no, not necessary, those were the samples. Very nice of her. And a nice policy of the restaurant if that's it. I ended up with a wonderful meal for just under $11 before tip and left with the makings of the next day's lunch or dinner. I plan to go back if I'm in town long enough. read more

They were able to accommodate our large party on a Saturday night. Servers were inexperienced but very friendly. They forgot to put in our order, so we were there for 3 hours. Manager was very nice and apologetic--comped more of our meal. read more

so...went on a gals day out in amarillo tx and i was having a wonderful time until i decided to eat lunch at olive garden. now, there were many things wrong with this experience but let's start with how my serve, sam served me my soup before my drink, breadsticks, and salad?? like okay sam now how am i supposed to wash this soup down? then sam told me that the breadsticks were cooking while the tables around me were getting served their breadsticks that were supposedly in the "oven"... how do you explain that sam? and to top it all of, another server dropped his block of cheese on the floor. i'm not surprised if he still used it after + he left cheese reminence on the floor #yuck and lastly, i jaded for another drink and usually they come with a fancy black straw but apparently i wasn't good enough to get a second black straw so sam just gave me a bendy straw like im five years old (i love bendy straws but that's not the point) read more

In Amarillo Texas - I ordered a meal to go. The salad and garlic bread sticks were very good. Unfortunately the spaghetti with marinara sauce was not. It appeared as though the pasta had not been sufficiently drained. There was evidence of water in the bowl with the pasta and sauce, which diluted the taste. Not good! read more

AH yes, we ordered curbside...Tour of Italy with cheese and bread sticks with dipping sauce. Excellent! Fettuccine Alfredo was scrumptious. Say what you will about chains but this dinner was very enjoyable. read more

I am editing my review. The cook here is a liar. I order Angel hair pasta she messed the order up. She was advise to make what was ordered. She was inpatient gave me back the same order that was wrong. She stated we don't have angel hair and stated " so I gave you this " the order that I refused " I request a refund. Found out she was getting off and didn't feel like cooking the pasta. The cook came to the to parking to go area to my truck with my food in her hands no bag no utensils and no mask!!!!!!¡!!! Basically she gave me back the incorrect order How I know she is a liar: Angel hair pasta was order by someone I know that was also here. read more

Was there about 1 yesterday, had the worst waitress ever, if she was new then shame on the managers for letting her be by herself, first our table and the table next to us tickets got combined somehow, then we didn't get the calamari we ordered, then no chicken on the chicken Alfredo, got our entrees before we even got soup and salad, the waitress told us 3 times she was checking on the calamari, then told us she just had the manager take it off, never asked us if we still wanted it which we did, asked us twice if we were ready for our check we said yes and after 30 minutes we watched her walk in the bathroom, after 10 minutes we finally went and found a manager and asked for our check, it took him 10 minutes to bring it, think he was looking for the waitress, finally brought it, took our money and must of been looking for her again cuz took 10 more minutes before the waitress brought our changed, we got there at 1:00 and was still there at 2:30, food was ok, breadsticks were cold, will probably be awhile before we go back in there and that's sad cuz we love that restaurant.... read more

I didn't even order food But still being charged 8.29 for the salad that was here when I was sat at the table. I was trying to save money so I could buy ice cream now I can't even treat myself. this is garbage. read more

Arrived to eat dinner. We were taken back to a table right away, I asked if we could have a booth instead of a table the hostess told me she would check. We followed her back up to the hostess desk and she told us it would be about 5 mis. I told her that would be fine. As we sat there 5 mins went by and we were still sitting there when another customer came in, they asked her if she wanted a both or table? She said booth, they took right to a booth. I decided to leave at the time. I do not understand why we were not given that choice nor why we were not given that booth. I travel through Amarillo every 6 months, and I will never visit Olive Garden in Amarillo Texas again. read more

This is the first time my Mom and I have gone out in a while. She's had problems with her back and just had double cataract surgery. She has been VERY ready to get out! Lol We came in today for lunch, we got appetizers; mozzarella sticks, soup, salad. After that I had Shrimp Scampi, she had Asiago Tortellini. Everything tasted great! Teresa was our server, very quick and pleasant! What I liked most was the fact that I was able to order our appetizers and desserts on the little kiosk at the table. Super quick and convenient!!! read more

Olive Garden Italian Restaurant - So much food!!! Yummmm - Italian Near Me - Amarillo, Texas

This location was alright. Food quality was as expected, with the exception of the breadsticks - unfortunately those were cold & stale, with no butter. Soups, salad, & pasta were all nice. The staff were polite & friendly, so I suppose they've cleaned house since some of the previous negative reviews. read more

Seated promptly at 3pm on a Tuesday. Waited 20 minutes. Without a single hello from anyone. Or even anyone taking our drink order. We left. We won't be back. read more

Julian and his partner served our huge table accordingly. Not only they accommodated us within 20 mins, they put us near each other, didn't mess up on our orders, and had great attitudes. I enjoyed Julian so much. He was attentive, sweet, and prompt with every picky thing I asked for. Usually, I sense attitudes when I ask for too much. Definitely will request him next time I visit Amarillo. Thanks again for dealing with our large party. The food came out perfect as well! I did shrimp scampi with zoodles substitution and it was delish. One thing I will say, we asked for marinara for the table but didn't know it would have been $5.49 per bowl. It definitely doesn't dock off a star. read more

I ordered a shrimp scampi and it's the worst. No flavor at all, the thin spaghetti was over cooked and mush.

the food is acceptable,however there is one server in particular whom I despise. She is incredibly passive aggressive and a bottom line bitch. Her service is absolutely abysmal and I genuinely don't believe that she is worthy to walk the earth, much less serve others. While I don't know her name she is an old wrinkly woman, probably 5'4 5'5 with blonde hair, and an absolutely terrible screechy voice. Most the servers here are nice and in the occasion they are I would have rated it much differently but this is the second time I've gotten this waiter and she makes my experience beyond terrible. Would not recommen. read more

We ordered 3 meals for pick up. It was supposed to be ready by 6:10 pm. It was not ready, at 6:50 pm we called and they apologized for not having it ready and said they would check on the order. 30 minutes later that said they didn't make the order and canceled the order. read more

We have always enjoyed the OG but the last 2 times we have been we have dealt with the absolute worst hostess I have ever encountered. The first time we contacted the restaurant and gave them the opportunity to retrain their employee. Went back again this week and she was just as rude and hateful. With so many dining options in town I can't understand how anyone would want the first impression of their guests to be this woman who obviously hates her job and hates people. read more

We left - never had server come to our table after 10 min. Tried to talk to hostesses and they were too quiet to even hear.
