This was our second time visiting this location. Our first time wasn't the best impression or experience, we almost never went back. My wife was craving their salad and breadsticks and I always usually enjoy their chicken Alfredo. As we walked in, the lobby was empty and no one at the front to great us. Multiples people walked by and said a hostess would be right us. That was almost 5 minute wait looking dumb up front. I thought to myself , here we go again. This time we walking out. Once the hostess came and sat us down, everything changed. Our waiter Tanner was amazing. He made sure we were taken care of as well as the rest of his tables were too. The food was amazing too! My wife who normally could care less for chicken Alfredo, was so happy eating it. What really shocked me was Manager for the night, Ester. She stopped by everyone's table and said hi, super respectful and wanted to make sure everyone had a great night. Just outstanding over all experience, service and food. The customer looked like they were all enjoying themselves too. read more

Olive Garden Italian Restaurant - Chicken & Gnocchi and Chicken Alfredo with broccoli. - Italian Near Me - Arlington, Texas

My family and I headed to Olive Garden Tuesday night. This location is a lot nicer than the Hulen location and it's easy to get too. The landscaping really stands out and so, does the building. We were greeted by a friendly Hispanic boy with a Beige Sweater. He explained to us they don't have their Christmas decorations up yet. It's nice and clean inside with dim lighting and dark furniture. We had a very patient Waiter named Garrett. The Manager also came by to check on us and see if Garrett was taking care of us. I ordered the Chicken Parmigiani. It was two small sized fried Chicken Patties topped with Marinara Sauce. My Patty was extra crispy and my spaghetti was little oily and flavorless? So, you definitely want to check this location out. It's a pleasant environment with a great Wait staff. read more

My wife and I were out running errands and dinnertime had arrived, well, at least, early dinner time. This was fine with us, so we'd could beat the evening dinner rush. We were greeted with smiles by the hostesses at the front when we walked in. Since it was early, we were escorted immediately to our table. There was a cute banter going back and forth as we arrived at our table. It was enjoyable and made us feel like valued customers. Shortly, our server Jarrett greeted us warmly at our table. He took our drink orders and asked if we had any questions about the menu. My wife RARELY orders anything else except soup, salad and break sticks. She LOVES their Pasta e Fagioli and Olive Garden's famous all-you-can-eat salad. The two of us rarely finish the first big bowl of salad. I always order a variety of different dishes. Today I ordered one of the specials I'd been hearing about on TV during Oliver Garden's commercials, the Bucatini and spicy three meat sauce, I added meatballs to top the bucatini. Bucatini is basically a thick spaghetti with a hole running through it. It was topped with Olive Garden's "limited edition" spicy three-meat sauce. Since I'm a lover of meatballs, I couldn't resist adding 3 meatballs as a topper. Instead of soup, I ordered salad as my side with tons of freshly grated parmesan cheese on the side. As mentioned previously, my wife definitely ordered her unlimited soup, salad and bread sticks. After a short wait, Jarrett brought us a basket of freshly baked bread sticks, salad, and our iced teas. I love it when they grate the parmesan onto my bread plate. My wife is not a big lover of parmesan cheese. Me, I LOVE it, the more the better. Oh, Olive Garden, why did we wait so long to return? The salad was SO good with croutons having the perfect crunch. The slices of Roma tomatoes were the perfect ripeness. Jarett's next trip delivered my entree and my wife's soup. With the smile on my wife's face, I knew she had a happy tummy while enjoying her soup and salad. My entree too was wonderful. The spicy meat sauce had just the right amount of "bite" to it. It was just spicy enough to keep it interesting. The bucatini was not easy to twirl link spaghetti or fettuccini. I ended up cutting it up. I loved the meatballs; they were so moist inside. There was enough left from my entree to take home for another meal. Jarrett also brought us 4 breadsticks all packaged up to-go. What an awesome time we had at Olive Garden! We'll definitely be back REAL soon or do curbside to-go. Thank you, Jarrett and the wonderful staff, supporting you. I apologize for the "lightness" of my photos, the exposure on my iPhone were misconfigured. read more

I need to update and change my star rating for Olive Garden. We went back to Olive Garden recently and we were very happy with food and the service. In the pass I was a little bit of a food snob I have to say. I was influenced by others I admit. But now that I am older, I do not do that anymore. I like Olive Garden they have plenty of pasta meals to choose from. Great salad and bread sticks that come with the meal. I ordered the "Create Your Own Pasta". You pick you pasta, sauce, and meat they call topping. I did the chicken with creamy mushroom sauce. This was very good I love the flavor and the rigatoni pasta was cooked prefect. The hot bread sticks that are all you can eat, and the house salad were a great compliment with the meal. We had a nice white wine with the meal. At the end of the meal, we ordered a dessert called Black Tie Mouse Cake. The cake was very good a must try. The server was very good friendly and helpful. He came back plenty of times and checked on us. The restaurant has plenty of seating in different room with nice décor. I will be going back to Olive Garden more often now. Great food and great price as will. read more

Endless soup and salad is always my go to! Just wish they would put more olives in the salad.

The picture speaks for itself. We visited on Easter Sunday after church with our parents and three kids. Unfortunately, they served us some spoiled fruit. While the rest of the food was decent considering it was a holiday but, not checking the quality of what you're serving is simply unacceptable. read more

I went in Saturday night with my adult daughters--all of us enjoyed it. The hostess and manager and waitress were all so nice and professional. The food was good too. All around great experience. read more

Trying to find the words to express my visit here. Service was amazing. I think the kitchen and bar need to work on... how the food is presented. My husband peach Bellini - a spoiled strawberry on the rim made the drink look so appetizing haha. We didn't even want more strawberries but we pointed it out to our waiter and she bought us more. Again great service. Salad... their was very little salad dressing on it - and the onions were in chunks not slices. We got the tour of Italy and thought someone took half of our chicken lol didn't match the picture. With all that said don't bring someone here if you are trying to impress clients or a date. read more

Saturday, August 2, 2025, 12:00 noon. I had the Chicken Parmigiana with side salad and bread sticks. There was way too much salt on the entree; had to scrape the Mariana off the spaghetti and the breading off the chicken so I could eat some of it. Breadsticks also were a little salty but the salad was good. I don't recommend eating there. The service was great but if the food is bad it's not worth it. read more

Tipped 22%, had lots of food to go but I had to leave in a rush so I forgot my food. Sat at the bar area and they said they couldn't save my to go after 20 minutes. Love the food but service is always dog shit. Never wasting my money on a worthless person like this again. read more

Olive Garden is always just Olive Garden -- typical American casual Italian-wannabe food that isn't bad. I don't ever crave Olive Garden, but a co-worker wanted to try it out for lunch so we decided to order some. We ordered from the lunch menu, which was actually a great deal! They have lunch-size portioned pastas, and while the menu selection is limited, pasta for less than $10 is definitely a steal. I ordered the shrimp & scampi last time, but this time -- I decided to get the spaghetti & meatballs. The lunch special comes with a selection of soup or salad, and also comes with two breadsticks. I opted for a chicken & gnocchi soup, and my coworker didn't want his side salad so I got that, and I was so surprised to see that this salad itself can serve as a meal. I mean this was a HUGE salad. I ended up saving it for lunch the next day. The spaghetti itself was whatever. Nothing too special; if I was being really critical, it's probably something I can make with just ragu sauce. But this was really a value deal. I would probably rate this place a 3 if it wasn't for the low price. The soup was pretty good as well; pairs well with the complimentary breadsticks and honestly for $10, it's a pretty filling meal! I was glad I was able to check the place out -- it's really a steal if you're looking for a light portioned lunch. Would I come here for dinner? Not too sure about that. read more

I haven't been to Olive Garden in years and decided to take my mom there for her birthday.I have to say I've always loved the salad and bread sticks here.And they were good as usual.But I forgot the breadsticks doesn't come with any sauce.And to charge 5 bucks for a little dish of sauce is just crazy.As far as our meals go they were pretty decent.Not bad but nothing spectacular.What kind of ruined the meal for us was the waiter.He just had that attitude like he didn't want to be there.Not to mention his service wasn't that great.But for some reason I still gave him a pretty good tip.I'll go back to Olive Garden but it may be awhile. read more

Service was great but food was alright. Friend said the chicken and shrimp carbonara and breadsticks weren't good but I thought my seafood Alfredo pasta and breadsticks tasted good. The zuppa toscana soup is supposed to be "creamy" but it was very liquidy. The only thing creamy about the soup was the color. read more

Great visit. Seems like these days, food and quality of service has been lacking at chain restaurants, not the case here. First time at this location, but was welcomed immediately and warmly. Not very crowded for a Friday night at 5:30. Our server greeted us promptly but darn it, I forgot his name, but I added a comment on the table side checkout device. Restaurant looked clean, but may need a soft renovation; one of the drawers on the service station was off centered, but no big deal. Server took our drink orders and recommended an appetizer. We got the mozzarella cheese sticks and they were fried golden brown, with an Italian herb seasoning. Good pull of the cheese. It was recommended by our server. Salad tasted fresh and just the right amount of dressing. I had the Ravioli Carbonara which had the perfect portion and amount of cheese, both in and outside the ravioli. Lightly baked with al dente ravioli pasta. Breadsticks were just meh or just small hot dog buns. The real hero was our server who checked in with us, provided my wife with a fresh soup for her to go box, and just over all pleasant. Check them out read more

Olive Garden Italian Restaurant - Fried Mozzarella. Really great taste and friend crunch. - Italian Near Me - Arlington, Texas

Everything was fantastic at this location. Quick service. Quick seating and everything came out fast and hot. Staff was polite and helpful. My only suggestion is to make sure that when someone orders the. Limited soup salad and breadsticks that the wait staff asked if they would like the soup to come out when the other entrees come out and remember if you already brought one out. I ended up with two bowls of soup at one point when I hadn't ordered a second one yet. While that's great for anticipation it wasn't something I was looking for in my visit. Other wise I'm happy to go back again. read more

Can I just say soup, salad, and breadsticks? I think Olive Garden's entrees are fine, but there's nothing more comforting on a cold day than a warm bowl of soup and all the bread and salad you want. I've gone to this location a few times with co-workers and for working lunches, and I've never had any problems. read more

This place is excellent!!! The food is always hot and tastes fabulous! The wait staff is always friendly and attentive! The atmosphere is superb. They always play the perfect Italian music!

I haven't been to eat inside a restaurant like this in over a year. Sad to say that my experience wasn't a good one. I got my vaccine already so I wasn't too worried about the crowd but the restaurant was definitely very busy. Everything about the meal felt so lackluster and drab from start to finish. Our server was a young guy clearly trying his best, but like so many restaurants it's hit or miss with the server. I was a server for many years in my younger years and even worked at an Olive Garden at one point so I get it. Juggling tables, customers interrupting you mid task with random requests, constant drink orders, then praying the kitchen gets the timing of your orders right, it's always a well-oiled machine until it isn't. That's the job that you signed up for tho. Being in the weeds really sucks, but it is never acceptable to leave a table unattended for an hour at any point in time. You don't have to be friends with me, but walk by my table from time to time and use your eyes to see if anyone needs refills. I think the pay at the table option with the tablet has really harmed the customer service aspect in the restaurant business. Especially with Olive Garden. The price point of the items here is high enough to where you can pull really good tips off of a normal amount of tables per night. You don't need to crank out high volume to make money, and even if you did, how is not attending to a table going to get you a quicker turnover? Anyway, on to the food. The food quality wasn't good. I've eaten at Olive Garden lots and maybe they were having an off night. This was my first time at this specific location tho. Maybe the kitchen staff isn't operating at full capacity because of Covid. Maybe the supply chain's been disrupted and this affected the ingredients they're able to use in dishes. I don't know what it was, but nothing was particularly appetizing. Even the soup tasted watered down and boring. My table ordered many different dishes and no one was impressed. I was sad to discover that they changed the spinach artichoke appetizer too. It used to be so good with the little slices of toast. Now it's just a boring spinach dip with some pita chips. If there's anything I've learned throughout this pandemic, it's that nothing beats a home-cooked meal. Actually, I take that back. There are some gems that definitely hit the spot and are worth getting dressed and venturing out for. This Olive Garden isn't one of them tho. At least not in its current condition. read more

I tried the bruschetta and it was Goooood! I arrived early for a girls dinner date and of course had to have some breadsticks while waiting. Now some may have had a glass of wine but....to each thier own. The waiter quickly came and took my drink order and made sure I was happy while waiting. We sat in the bar area, which had TV's and a chatting bartender talking politics to a customer...Oh I just love to talk about politics when I am drinking also. NOT!!! Anyway that was my entertainment while waiting for my friends. The food was delicious and service was great! The front of the reataurant faces the service road, which I did not know so I parked in the back. This was obviously my first time to this spot. So after my long walk in the hostesses got me seated quickly and the rest is history. This Olive Garden is nothing out of the oridnary, I always love their food! read more

we ate here for the first time and were very disappointed chicken alfredo pasta was undercooked and chicken was disgust and rubbery. (we have had better TV dinners) salmon was swimming in grease I had to empty my plate of an oil pool and had to throw up after eating not even a third of it.... where is Chef Ramsay when you need him? read more

I was in Arlington and had a craving for a really good salad and bread sticks....so I headed over to the neighborhood Olive Garden. It was a wet rainy Saturday so the place was relatively quite. I was greeted and seated quickly. Served even faster, and before i knew it I had my peach tea, my big bowl of crispy Italian salad and a basket full of warm soft bread sticks. What could be better than this you ask? Fettuccine Alfredo with chicken.......so I had that as well! Great little lunch on a cold wet day in November. Three stars for Arlington Olive Garden, friendly service, consistently good food, abundant selection and affordable prices. Happy Eating Y'all! read more

This is a total mixed review... Artichoke / Spinach dish rocked!!! The spice level was mild yet flavorful. The bread served with the dip was okayish. Liked the celery. The two pastas were nothing special, so skip anything with the words five cheese in the name. The ziti ended up dry. Our server Joshua was a straight up winner!! Pleasant attentive, helpful, and professional. He had three coworkers, a bar tender and two other waiters in the area. The one young lady stopped by at one point and asked if he had forgotten to take our order, which shows good teamwork even if her word choice could have been better. Then there were the odd early out discussion between the three waiters which even included discussion of tips. Please do this in the back, as we as customers don't want to hear it. The bartender sneezed several times into his forearm while making drinks, and didn't wash his hand before finishing the drink. Yuck. read more
