We came late. That day we had an Elite event and we didn't eat before. So right after the event we went to eat and we de used to come here. We love the never ending soup and salad with bread sticks. My daughter and I got the Tuscany soup and the salad. They bought us two of the soup and o e big bowl of salad. Also two trays of the freshly baked bread. The server was so nice and very kind. I wanted coffee and they brewed for me at that Time. Their Italian coffee it's one of the best one I had on a restaurant. She bought me all of It in a coffee pitcher. So when we finish eating I asked for a cup to take the left over. The zuppa it's really good and they made it with enough of everything. Sometimes depends on the cook they don't make it right. But this time it was really creamy and delicious. The ambience familiar. People come to celebrate birthdays, graduation or any special event. Thank you to the waiter for the attentive and great service. read more

Olive Garden is Olive Garden.. I do have to say I don't really care for Olive Garden and almost always order the soup and salad. For the first time ever I got a chunk of chicken in my soup compared to a sliver most other times. The bread sticks also were super fresh, piping hot and the perfect combo of garlic and salt to go with the creamy soup! Let's talk customer service!!! Jasmine was our server. She had very good service. Jasmine was a very attendant server. Attended our table with a smile, she was very quick to get refills without having to be asked! She explained that the coffee was being brewed fresh, so there would be a short wait, which is always appreciated!! Brent is a new manager and has REALLLLLLLLLLLY cleaned up service, the strength of the teams.. He is the same manager I thinks about a month ago for the other young waitresses service!! He is extremely approachable, very kind and has apparently worked hard at making great improvements to this restaurant!! Ohh the bathrooms were immaculate!! read more

Majority of time I prefer sitting at the bar. When you walk in you are always greeted by staff, always friendly. Drinks are always on point and tasty and food is always good. I have always had great service. The one I frequent is off Herndon in Fresno, CA. Good job team. read more

Went here recently with a rather large group. I got the never ending pasta bowl with the added proteins. I loved the spicy meat sauce and the mushroom sauce. The marinara was too acidic for me. I also really loved the chicken and the sausage. Sadly, the meatballs were a let down. The young man serving us did a truly excellent job. I am looking forward to returning soon. read more

The return of Olive Garden's Steak Gorgonzola Alfredo is a reminder that not every fan favorite deserves a comeback. The sirloin, ordered medium, arrived well done--dry, tough, and so chewy that it felt more like an obligation than a steak. Missing the requested temperature by that much is a basic mistake, and it set the tone for the rest of the meal. The sauce was equally disappointing. Rather than showcasing the creamy Alfredo and the sharp, savory character of the Gorgonzola, the dish was smothered in an excessive amount of balsamic glaze. The overpowering sweetness and acidity drowned out every other flavor, leaving the pasta unbalanced and cloying. For a dish marketed as one of Olive Garden's signature returns, this was an astonishing letdown. Poorly cooked steak and an aggressively heavy hand with the balsamic turned what should have been a comforting, indulgent entrée into something I struggled to finish. I won't be ordering it again, and I certainly won't be returning for it. read more

For anyone wondering about their new 'spicy' sauce, it's delicious! I always order EXTRA, read all about it! It's got a nice creeping heat that ascends at an interesting pace....adding all sorts of complexity. 'Complexity' is a quality that I'm always on the lookout for. And don't be afraid to add things, including more veggies in it if you like... And their soups? Among the best from any chain, each version is fresh. You can see and taste that aspect. Truly the best of any chain version we have around here. Always enjoy coming with my dad and definitely prefer this newer location. A bit of a drive but it's relaxing and interesting... A good meal is a blessing and we are BLESSED! -G read more

I usually go to the Clovis Olive Garden and they are usually packed and over an hour wait. My bff had just turned 46 the day before and loves Olive Garden so I treated him to lunch. As soon as we arrived around noon on a Saturday, we were seated right away. Love the cute handwritten stockings up at the host desk. Our server, Matt, made sure we were taken care. Food- Ordered the lighter portion chicken parmesana with minestrone soup. Price was about 14 or 15 and portion was perfect for me. If I did not have to work, definitely would have gotten wine. Bff ordered chicken Alfredo which also looked delicious. Matt comped us a tiramisu for bff's bday! Service, Ambiance & Food was all delicious. read more

I feel like the quality of this place has gone down. I came here to eat with a friend who loves Olive Garden. I got the soup salad breadsticks and my usual zuppa toscana was so bland and watery. The salad was very oniony and overpowered by the peppers. The spinach artichoke dip was mildly burned and crispy. Overall, I didn't enjoy my lunch and ask for seconds because the first round was so bad. read more

I saw a few comments claiming this location is accommodating to late party. According to management, it's not. They separated our party, and while the servers were willing to move things around to seat us all together, management was insisted that our party couldn't be seated together even when we called ahead to make a reservation. This is place is just a little stranger over for a chain that should remain consistent. Even the coffee presentation was unusual and lukewarm. Some of the silverware was dirty. Overall this location was pretty unpleasant. read more

Ordered dinner. Picked it up. Breadsticks that come with meal weren't included and neither was the extra order of breadsticks I ordered. I called and the Manager asked me to return to pick up the rest of the order. I said 'No We are already home". She offered to send me a $15 gift card. I declined and told her I wouldn't need a gift card because I won't be coming back Her response, "Ma'am, It was just one mistake". I'm offering you a gift card ". I said "No thank you. ". The food we picked up was warm. The salad was too because it was at the bottom of the bag under the dinner. For $45, I expect decent food and everything I paid for. Apparently, that's too much to ask for. read more

Service was excellent, The food was okay. I'm on low sodium diet after heart surgery so was struggling to find things to eat. I ended up with a salad with dressing on the side and a bowl of soup. All together they, the lowest sodium items, were about 1700 mg in total - 2000 mg is my daily allowance. We went to satisfy my wife's craving. Hopefully it will be a decade before the craving returns. read more

Got a 2 go order. Salad was large but not enough dressing. Threw half the salad away because it was dry. Not enough sauce on the fettuccine Alfredo and definitely not enough sauce on the spaghetti. Flavor was good on all, though. I do not drench any of these items, but when pasta is dry it's just not good. read more

The ONLY reason I did not rate this location a 5 star was because I didn't get my food the way i ordered it :/ I asked for the shrimp in my "chicken and shrimp carbonara" to be EXTRA toasty ... because I like them crispy .. yet they seemed to be cooked as they are usually cooked which is Not to my liking because they are too soft, so didn't fully enjoy my meal .. which would have been nice because I had just gotten off work, was tired and very hungry, so was looking forward on enjoying my meal as I ordered. Emily was our waitress and the service was OUTSTANDING! Emily was friendly, courteous, polite and served us in a very short period of time. She kept "checking in" on us periodically to see if we needed anything, which was very nice because we were having refills. Emily made all of us feel very comfortable even though we asked for extra cheese on our plates .. lol ... The ambience was very clean, even the bathroom. Everyone was friendly, greeted us when we arrived and management even greeted us on the way out .. Hopefully when I come back .. I can have my order cooked to my liking. read more

My friend and I had a great time dining here. The food was delicious and came out nice and hot. Our server was friendly and attentive, checking in on us regularly and making sure we were comfortable. The service was just a little slower than expected during the rush, but overall we really enjoyed the experience and will definitely be back! read more

Fortunately, there was no wait time. It's my bday so we came to celebrate. The music is so upbeat and fits the ambiance well. The food came out quickly and our waitress was very efficient. The portions are big and we took a few to go plates. You can't beat $6 to go boxes. read more

DISGUSTING work attitudes , after their kiosk at the table wasn't working and Apple Pay being my only pay option atm . I had to walk over to the to-go station to tap my phone, I paid. Then the manager sets down the receipt and his pen then says this is the servers copy and I ask if I can take the pen and receipt to the table so I can write down my signature and tip amount. The manager declines and says "oh no not my pen". Nobody wanted your dumb pen you idiot with gray hair. Idk why a boomer was insisting that I wanted to steal his cheap pen. read more

I Normally have a good experience going to any restaurant especially an Olive Garden. But yesterday was the first time I went in just me and my grandma I was having pregnancy cravings for some bread sticks and we had come in before a Mother with her daughter. The hostess abused their position, she seemed to know the mother and daughter she called them by name which she never took down anyones name to keep an order. It was obvious she knew them so she got them sat before us after we had been waiting for 18 minutes. I do not recommend this location there are better. read more

I really like their food, but I don't like that you go to order a lunch special that has to be ordered before 3 PM and nothing is available. I started trying to place my order at 2:25 PM and not one lunch special was available. This is the third time this has happened. read more

Olive Garden is one of my favorite places for family dinners. I love that they have unlimited soups/salads, and they have an extensive pasta menu. I usually start with their Zuppa Toscana soup w/ extra parmesan, and I almost always order their Tour of Italy. Sometimes I'd experiment, but the Tour of Italy never fails me. It's always a wonderful time with new memorable family moments at the Olive Garden. read more

The food is always good, consistent. What I would like to know is why, in the middle of the day - after the lunch rush - would it take a full hour to prepare a spaghetti meal? The earliest pickup time I could request was a full hour from when I was ordering, which seems extreme - since in reality, they could scoop up & put it in a box in literally less than 5 minutes. read more

It's been a while since I been to Olive Garden. If you have the app, you can just joint the waitlist and they'll text you when your table is ready. I went with the chicken Alfredo and my s/O with the Tour of Italy. I honestly remember it tasting so much better but the sauce just lacked flavor. The noodles were perfect, al dente. My S/O said his food was mid as well. We however loved our Fried mozzarella, def passed the pulp test, the sauce was okay. Maybe it was just nostalgia. The service was phenomenal, even with it being busy Sunday lunch rush. read more

Came here on a Friday night, the day after Thanksgiving. It was not too busy and we were seated immediately. I normally order the Tour of Italy but decided to go with the never-ending soup, salad, and breadsticks because it was cold and I love soup. Honestly, can't go wrong with the Zuppa Toscana. We had Chyna as our server and she was great! She anticipated our needs and was quick with bringing in the next bowl of soup, salad, and breadsticks. I tapped out at four bowls of soup. I have no complaints, overall a solid choice for chain restaurant Italian food. read more

This Olive Garden is always consistent with flavor and the overall meal, what makes it a 3/5 is their service. I've been here in multiple occasions and some are better than others because one day we'll get someone super super helpful, attentive and sweet and others we'll get someone who barely checks on us, is rude about ordering more breadsticks or soup, and creates an uncomfortable experience. It's honestly a hit or miss, but again the food is usually pretty consistent. Ambiance is warm, but also very busy and fast paced. I would overall recommend. Just be aware that your experience will not always be the same. read more

This review of for the food. As a restaurant that's supposed to specialize in pasta, their food is horrible. I ordered the steak Alfredo, the steak was overcooked, dry and chewy, I had to spit them out, the pasta was dry and not saucy at all, it's like they put the least amount of sauce on it. My friend got the 6.oz steak, it looked disgusting like 3D printed meat with printed charred marks on it. My other friend got the stuffed chicken breast, the food was good but it was very small, not enough for a man's appetite. Entrees are $23-$26, was not worth it. The food was bad, and they did not even try to make it presentable. read more

Service was wonderful. Food was good too. But our waitress Elena was so nice and attentive. One of the best waitresses that we've ever had. Great can do attitude, made a cheap tippier into a good one because of her. We will return to this location in the near future. read more

Went to dinner last night with the fam (7 year old and 16 mos old twins) last night. I'm normally happy with our experience eating here, but last night I was a bit disappointed. I am taking in an account that it was a Friday night and it was picking up. I felt our server could have been more attentive to us. I had to ask for refills for our drinks and my endless soup option. I totally understand being busy with multiple tables, but pay attention to your tables instead of having to get flagged down or having to ask other servers. read more

We must have heard the staff sing to about 5 different parties.... Sad to say...they forgot about me.

Make sure you remind them that it's your birthday so they don't forget about you... read more

Sometimes Olive Garden can be hit or miss, but this location in Northern Fresno, they went above and beyond. My family of about 15 was there for a graduation lunch, and the waitress took care of us. The food was great, no mess ups, food was hot for everyone's order, she had great suggestions for entrees as well as for appetizers. When more family members came, she was attentive to their needs and even kept on track with the to go orders that were made. Would definitely recommend this location. Great people and great atmosphere. read more
