I got the chicken and shrimp carbonara to go, and the chicken wasn't the best. The breading was pretty soggy and that could've been from it sitting in the container. Also a bit of a wait when picking up the to go order. It could be better sitting down at the restaurant, but I wouldn't recommend for to go orders. read more

Thursday May 14, 2026 was my granddaughters birthday. She was so excited. Worst service ever. The young woman that waited on us knows who she is. My GD had her birthday crown on, the restaurant was nearly empty. She was counting on a birthday song but our waitress said she couldn't round up enough people to sing one little song. Her words exactly. She was too busy waiting on the young couple. My spaghetti was cold when she finally brought our food. Never filled our drinks. I know my son spent $75 or more. No apology nothing. Reported it to the young manager and all she said was sorry. The food was cold, no BD song nothing. I won't be back again. This is the second time it's happened Hey Olive Garden this is why businesses close down Bad employees that don't care. Used to love them but no more read more

It seems like Olive Garden always gets a bad wrap... maybe they had a bad day... or maybe the customer was having a bad day. Either way we had a fantastic time. My mom was in town for the Bee Gee concert and picked Olive Garden. I was skeptical at first, but I am very glad we went. We got there pretty early for a Friday night. (5:30) but we were seated right away. We ordered our drinks and an appetizer. The calamari was so tasty. I really liked the sauce that came with it that wasn't the marinara sauce. We all got salad which was very fresh. I ordered the seafood Alfredo. It was just like I remembered it. DELISH! There were a ton of scallops and shrimp. It was so much food that I ate and took it home and had two more meals out of it. Everyone else seemed to enjoy their food as well. We ordered a second round of drinks but unfortunately only one of them came. We did order the donuts and let me tell you, if you haven't had them definitely get them and get the raspberry sauce. I had changed my drink order to a coffee and it didn't come out either. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They were getting pretty busy and we had to leave to get to the concert.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] All in all it was a great meal. read more

Food was great. Service was great with a nice server. Nothing in their was an annoyance.

I had the lunch shrimp scampi with angel hair pasta. I had to put a lot of salt and pepper on it just to tolerate it. It was so bland and dry. There was barely any sauce and only 5 shrimp. I will never order this again. It was a total waste of money. read more

Food was just ok. The salad had way too much dressing. The service was rather slow. We got there early and there weren't many customers. It still took too long to get our meal. We also had to wait around for the waitress. She seemed to have disappeared and didn't come around to check on us. read more

So, long story short the waiter spill beer on my boyfriend. I'm very disappointed but we got free shirts and we get to eat free. read more

The chain of Olive Garden has made its name on the consistency of their food, regardless of the location. That being said- if you are just in town looking for dinner- SKIP THIS LOCATION! Instead stop at another one.. this location has no competition and therefore just does not care. The majority of the staff appear to hate their job, and just meet the threshold of being a server. The food quality is by far at the bottom on my list for this chain. The last three times I have stopped, I have been missing parts to my dish because they either forgot or done have it and didn't say that when I ordered. Competition is good- this one has none for 150 miles, so they aren't forced to step up their game. 55 bucks for two adults and no drinks or desserts was a total disappointment. read more

Hearty Thanks to all Veterans and Thank You Olive Garden for the delicious lunch. We are grateful for your service as well. May God Bless read more

We made an order for salad while we made a pit stop to HEB. Olive Garden was on the job!, we however were VERY late! I called and apologized and explained that we do want the order and that we're on our way and how sorry we were for being so late. Olive Garden's employee did not miss a beat and said don't worry i can see your order now. Take your time we are ready. We arrived at Olive Garden Abilene Tx. used their handy app and was on our way in 5 mins. read more

Food is great, service is friendly, it is very pleasant inside and the food is worth it but can be expensive

My friend and I came here to eat as many breadsticks as we could, our waiter Ryan made sure that we never ran out at our table and kept up the best service we've ever had. Very attentive, funny, and hands down the best Olive Garden I've ever been to and I will be returning only because of him. read more

Food was good, service was good. But... they gave me two entrée forks when I was hoping for a salad fork to go with my salad. But the sals was good so I didn't have much time for it to occupy my mind. Food was great, and never ending bread?! Yes please read more

Good food, high price, always busy. OG is always busy, and very popular. I'm just not a chain person. Food and service are always good, so there is really nothing to gripe about. But I will go the local small, quiet place every time. My table awaits you! And yes, the ziosk are horrible. read more

I love Olive Garden! So much so, that after living in Italy for four years, it was the second place we ate at when we came back to the states. Authentic Italian food is bland and doesn't ever have enough sauce! Blah! At this particular Olive Garden, the service has always been great, the restaraunt is clean, and the people are friendly. My only complaint is the prices. Even at lunch time, you are going to pay about $10 per person. read more

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

Standard OG fare, but the service we experienced from our waitress was uncaring and not heartfelt. I should add that we were visited by two supervisors and they did ask us if the food was good, and it was. Was very crowded on a Saturday night, and that was probably the reason why. Then the waitress stood behind us with another customer's table talking why she was planning on leaving in two weeks to go to CA and go to make up school. WTF! Too noisy, crowded...just ugh! Was very disappointed that one bowl of Fettacuine Alfredo is $11.95. If that is chain-wide, they need to rethink that. I'm taking a break from you guys, OG. read more

service was terrible. server ignored our table. for the cost of their food you would think service would be on point.

Service is Slow as hell. Sat for 10 mins before someone acknowledged we were there. When we were seated Jeff, the 5'7 dark haired and bearded gentleman who sat us, was brittled with attitude as though he didn't want to deal with people. Our poor waitress seemed so scattered and busy. Obviously this isn't managed well. The food in fine, it's Olive Garden read more

We were pleased to see the Olive Garden was open for business. We were immediately seated and quickly waited on. Food was quickly at our table. My wife opted for the Soup and Salad while I wanted the Chicken Parmesam, which was wonderful. This is one of our safe, go to restaurants and even though it's a chain, we've found it to be consistent wherever we've tried them unlike some others. read more

Don't expect the bar to be efficient while you are waiting for your table. Bartender move at one speed slow! On another visit. May daughter ordered soup and had nothing else, when the bill came it was soup and salad, when I questioned the waitress she said that's how it comes, I showed her in the menu where you can order soup by itself, she still was not sure she could only charge for soup. Then my food never showed up, when I asked she thought I only had salad and soup, even though she repeated the order back correctly when we placed our order. read more
