We love going to Olive Garden. The fettuccine Alfredo and chicken scampi are my favorites. The bread sticks and soups are always fresh and they keep it coming if you want. The service is always good and we always like ambiance. We are always full and have leftovers. You definitely get your moneys worth at Olive Garden. read more

Bravo ! Great friendly service and wonderful food. Came in for a girls lunch with our littles and were impressed with how amazing this busy location is. Our server and the manager on duty were so nice and very attentive ensuring our food was hot and fresh and the little ones catered too. Every item we ordered was incredible and I will say the chocolate silk cheesecake is now my favorite dessert ever ! I wish I was closer to this location but I would make the 45 min drive to come back. 10/10! read more

Came today for the first time. The food was really good. I got the chicken parmesan and my husband got the steak and shrimp Calabrian pasta. We both love our dishes. Our bartender was super attentive and asked every step of the way if we wanted refills on anything. We loved how chill the atmosphere was. read more

Basic good soup and salad lunch special is always good. The service was the complete opposite and could use some improvement. I never had the food come out well before the drinks. It wasn't even that busy in there so I don't know where his distractions were coming from. read more

Came to Olive Garden for a lunch a few weeks ago. Overall, it was a good experience. We were still working so we were discussing different work situations and answering calls through lunch so it wasn't necessarily a leisurely experience. I ordered a coke, which was good, but overall too syrupy. I ordered the bottomless soup, salad, and breadsticks. While I could have eaten more, I was never really offered more and decided not to anyway. The server initially made me feel super rushed, which is why I gave it 4 stars. Almost like she was just trying to hurry us along. read more

Threw my best friend a surprise birthday party. We had a waitress named Gabby. She was incredible. Drinks were constantly refilled, tabled was constantly bussed. Hardly ever a dirty dish, empty dish in sight. I can honestly say she was probably the most attentive server I've ever had. The party was a huge success. Great service, delicious food and wonderful company. So glad I chose Olive Garden for this occasion. read more

I took my adult daughter and g-daughter to lunch yesterday and am a bit miffed over the table we were seated at. The table was quite simply too small to fit 3 entrées and a child's meal. The server was a obviously a rookie who did his best. The table would have been ok for a couple but not for my $75 tab + tip. read more

My server was amazing, also treated my family and me with the most respect thank you so much @liana for the amazing service if you end up getting a chance to see this please contact me on my GMAIL so I can thank you personal ! Angelr062803@gmail.com read more

Nola was very nice. Very attentive and met all our needs and we will be back again! Thanks Nola !

My grandchildren and their cousins picked this restaurant for lunch during the week. The food was subpar and served at room temperature. The kids had a blast talking it up but ate very little. I ordered a lunch size chicken parm that looked like it was sitting in grease. The best part was the salad. It was served ice cold and had the perfect amount of salad dressing on it. read more

We had dinner here, our server Autumn was awesome. She was very friendly and professional, checked in with us several times to see if we needed anything. The food was delicious and plentiful. I would recommend cloning her and putting one in every location you have. Great job. read more

Just had dinner here. What a disappointment. The service was horrible and the food was cold. The salad was ok but the tomatoes should be ripe sometime next week. The bread sticks were cold. Had the Tour of Italy, fettuccine was cold. I was going to have dessert but it took 20 minutes to get the coffee I ordered, couldn't imagine how long it would take or the condition it would arrive in. The waitress did come to the table when we were finished to ask if we wanted any mints. We use to eat here on a regular basis. I remember now, why we stopped eating here. Not much chance of us returning unless I forget again read more

Just left the restaurant. We had an amazing time. Had a lot of breadsticks and our server, Sophia D., was very kind. The restaurant was very clean and well put together. read more

Why is it I had to pay $15 for extra bread sticks and dressing when I would get them unlimited for free if I ate in the restaurant. I would not ever order to go from here again! The staff is super friendly that's the reason for the 2nd star. read more

My husband and I had a great experience at Olive Garden after church today! Jadyn was an outstanding server! So efficient and so sweet! She even ran after us to bring my purse because I'd left it behind! Just a great overall experience! Thank you! read more

I usually stick with their endless soup and salad but I decided to do their Tour of Italy dish everything was pretty delicious but the alfredo was a little bit watery for me but not enough for me to send it back. I do love their chicken and gnocchi soup and I could not be there and not order it. Staff was super friendly and attentive. Establishment was kept clean including the restroom and parking lot. I would recommend to friends. read more

Bar was covered with cheese and there was never any attempt by the staff to clean it up. We had to request napkins and utensils after our food was delivered. Delia, our server, must have been in another world because her attitude and lack of attention did not warrant the tip that my boyfriend left her. I would have left nothing. read more

We stopped by this location of Olive Garden while traveling to Florida so i am not familiar with the area, but it didnt disappoint. I absolutely love Olive Garden's salad. It's my favorite thing to have when I visit them, and seems to be always fresh no matter the location. We also had the Alfredo fettuccine (lunch portion, but very filling). The restaurant is usually very clean, and the service is great. They also followed COVID restrictions inside the restaurant, and with our takeout order which was appreciated! ESPAÑOL Paramos en esta ubicación de Olive Garden mientras viajábamos a Florida, así que no estoy familiarizada con la zona, pero no nos decepcionó. Me encanta la ensalada de Olive Garden. Es lo que más me gusta cuando los visito, y parece estar siempre fresca sin importar la ubicación. También pedimos el fettuccine Alfredo (porción de almuerzo, pero muy abundante). El restaurante suele estar muy limpio y el servicio es estupendo. También siguieron las restricciones de COVID dentro del restaurante, y con nuestro pedido para llevar, lo cual fue apreciado! read more

Olive Garden is a timeless favorite. My grandma loves it, especially since they don't have it in Canada. While I usually go for the excellent chicken parm, we decided to try something new - the carbonara with shrimp and scallops. It was fantastic! The server, whose name I can't recall now, provided excellent service. I highly recommend the Olive Garden in Clermont; I've consistently had great experiences here. read more

To call Olive Garden Italian food is akin to calling McDonald's a steakhouse. Olive Garden is a chain restaurant that was created to offer a rather poorly fashioned facsimile of the wonderful food that was born in the various regions of Italy and has been embraced by the world. Italian food is one of the world's mother cuisines, the culinary genesis of so much that we find upon our plates today. The restaurant itself is pleasant enough as is the service. The food itself is a facsimile of some of the more common Italian dishes, however, please keep in mind that the real deal of Italian cooking will be found more often than not in the mom-and-pop establishments. Of course, not every mom-and-pop place will be a stellar example of Italian cuisine, but the real talented chefs are usually found in these local mom-and-pop restaurants. I will offer this place three stars, though the food can only rate two stars. Most of us know what Olive Garden offers, a chain restaurant meal that is disguised as Italian. read more

Updated: My son spoke with the GM this morning, Kenneth was extremely professional, respectful and eager to handle the situation. I received a phone call within an hour and a half from Jordan saying he regretted the way he handled the situation and he corrected it. The phone call went a long way with me and we will continue to dine with Olive Garden Do NOT eat here!!! My husband and I had our first date at the Olive Garden in Altamonte Springs in 1995 so Olive Garden is very special to us. Several months ago we noticed that in the app it automatically adds gratuity and I contacted Olive Garden about this. Today, my husband physically put zero dollars as the tip and they still added $4.17 to my bill (since this is now the fourth time this has happened that adds up to $16 not a lot of money to some, but it adds up). Again this was a curbside order and my husband tipped the server in cash not knowing he had already been charged. I would like to add that there were things missing from our order on top of everything but the manager did not care I called the store and spoke to the service manager, Jordan, who literally could not have cared less and brushed me off. I told him I still carry the receipts from three other visits with me at all times in case I am ever near the store, I was not with my husband today, again he did not care that this had happened before. This is an ongoing issue that has been brought to Olive Garden's attention and they refuse to fix it. I asked for the general manager's name, Ken Luette (Jordan was very quick to give out this information and pass the buck to anyone else. Funny I thought he was a manager) which I plan on contacting tomorrow when he gets in at 9 AM. After my phone call with Jordan when I finally sat down to eat, the food was awful. It just figures, but it was probably the worst we have had. The pasta sauce tastes like I am eating straight ketchup, and the breadsticks could be back up weapons because they were that hard. Since the pandemic, a lot of restaurants have gone downhill and I'm very sad to say that apparently Olive Garden is deciding to stay at the bottom of that hill. Unfortunately for Jordan and Olive Garden, the pandemic is over and so are the excuses. I have recently left five star reviews for two separate Ruby Tuesday's locations because they have stepped up their menu, the portion size, and the flavor. I would recommend checking Ruby Tuesdays out instead join their program and there are always coupons and rewards. I would like to point out that Olive Garden offers none of that and I never find coupons for Olive Garden. EVER! I am disabled and my husband frequently picks up dinner on the way home because he works over an hour away and it gets too late to cook. Obviously Olive Garden plans on only making things difficult on its patrons rather than better. This review breaks my heart since again my husband and I had our first date at the Altamonte Springs location on July 28, 1995 when it was still decorated in the old style Olive Garden. I had a friend that worked at that location so my family frequented it Throughout the late 80s and early 90s I really wish Olive Garden would go back to their old ways when they cared. They just lost the customer of almost 30 years. read more

We came in with a party of 20. Adam was our only server and did a FANTASTIC job at taking care of us. Kept our drinks full and made sure we always had fresh, hot breadsticks. Best breadsticks we've had from Olive Garden in a long time. The kitchen was out of lasagna, but Adam informed us and it was resolved quickly. read more

You simply can't go wrong with the staples when you can't decide where you want to go. There is always something here for you when you can't make up your mind. Pasta? Easy. Bit of shrimp? Easy. A nice liquid refresher? Easy. Soup? Well, you get the idea. I will say that I liked the old school Alfredo with thick almost grainy goodness. I honestly liked it better today after it set up I'm the fridge; kind of like how chili rolls. All I know was my wife and kids were happy on her birthday meal...and that is what counts, no? read more

Newer location so clean and fresh inside. We were seated in the bar area and the server was prompt and very friendly. We placed our order and the salad came out almost immediately with our fresh/hot bread sticks. We had just finished our salads when our entrees arrived (kids buttered pasta and eggplant Parmesan). I was really in the mood for the mushroom ravioli, but that was not currently on the menu. The food was hot and cooked as ordered/expected. I did order a coffee at the end of the meal and it was luke warm. I needed the caffeine and enjoyed the flavors, but it could have been warmer. Service overall was more then we typically see at an Olive Garden so looking forward to coming back again and hopefully to the full menu when times improve with the pandemic. Everyone was in masks and seating was spaced for additional health and safety measures. read more

I normally don't like going to franchise type restaurants but I must admit I like Olive Garden. This restaurant like all others serve you an amazing salad, which normally I just have a few bites but for some reason or another I keep going back for more. Secondly what is Olive Garden without the breadsticks? I can just continue to have one basket after another of these warm breadsticks. For the entrees we had the classic lasagna and the 5 cheese baked ziti. Both of these dishes were cooked expertly. I love lasagna and often order it wherever I can and this one did not disappoint. For dessert we shared a tiramisu which was delicious. Ultimately the reason for the 5 stars is because the service was excellent. The young man who took care of us was on top of his game and he made sure everything was to our liking. I would definitely go back for another visit. read more

I love Olive Garden! I usually just stick with the shrimp or chicken fettuccine Alfredo because it is BOMB. The breadsticks are amazingggg and you have to get alfredo dipping sauce for them because it is the best thing ever. I usually get the house salad with as my option with my meal. My only gripe with them is that there is always minimal sauce in the pasta and it doesn't fully coat the pasta in the bowl. I like my pastas super saucy. My boyfriend had the spaghetti with Italian sausage and he didn't like his meal at all. He agreed that the Alfredo was the best thing ever. My parents had the tour of Italy and another meal which they said was great. read more

I understand having difficultly with staffing. The place was relatively empty for a Saturday noon-hour. The hostess was going to seat us in an alcove right next to people with children. I don't mind sitting by kids, but not when there are three other tables in that alcove available--or most every booth/table in the restaurant. She did give us another table in the alcove. Our waitress's apron was filthy which wasn't very appealing. Then the chilled plate was dirty. The good news is the soup was hot and tasty, the salad was fresh, and the waitress brought us drink refills without us having to ask. read more

We were traveling and exhausted! It was 9pm and we knew the food wouldn't be great at 9pm but we went anyway. And boy were we wrong!! It was the best meal we have ever had at Olive Garden, and we eat at OG in our home town often. They must've made the Alfredo fresh, the noodles were perfect and the chicken tasted SO good! The salad, the breadsticks and the chicken Alfredo was all fresh and delicious! The service was perfect! The ambiance was light and refreshing as well. Try them out if you're around!! read more

It is an Olive Garden and I can't help but love their salad and bread sticks. That is exactly why I went here again. I got the minestrone soup as well, which is unusual for me, and man, I was stuffed. Okay, maybe it was the Alfredo sauce I had to have to dip my bread sticks in. Really the bread sticks are the only thing keeping me from pouring the Alfredo sauce directly into my mouth. So salad, soup, bread sticks, Alfredo sauce, all great. Service and ambiance is where this OG is lacking. It took a really long time for us to get seated at an early lunch on a weekday when most of the restaurant was empty and there were 4-5 servers + the host hanging around up front. Yep, bad start. Then we were seated and it took another 5 minutes for our server to show up, and then another long wait to take our order. Blah. So what should have been a quick 30-45 minute lunch turned into 1 1/2 hours. read more

Newer place, at least compared to the one by Disney's or the one on I drive. Pretty busy today for fathers's day, although not terrible crowded. Hostess at the door was very pleasant, she greeted us immediately and took our mobile number to text us when the table was ready. Waitress was very professional, quick to take our order and attentive to our needs. She offered a refill of the breadstick, which we appreciated. My middle son and i had the oversized chicken parmigiano on fettuccine! It came as expected, golden brown but juicy inside. The pasta fagioli is a winner every time, I feel I can have 2 played and not have enough. A good Fathers's Day dinner, would come here again! read more

Came here with my mom yesterday for lunch. Even we made registration beforehand, sill took a few minutes to be seated. My mom ordered "Lunch Duo"~Grilled Vegetables & Cheese Piadina with unlimited Salad ~ it tasted like a veggie quesadilla, problem was over-grilled, the skin was a bit burned, tasted lovely though, veggies were fresh and moist, good balance flavour. And I got "Taste Of the Mediterranean"~Ravioli di Portobello with unlimited Soups ~ The portobello mushroom inside was so finely chopped, tasted creamy and silky, topping with smoked cheese and sun-dried tomato sauce. Ravioli was Al Dente, Well Done. Everyone knows Olive Garden famous with their breadsticks, unfortunately we got rebaked ones yesterday, dry and hard. Salad served in huge bowl, fresh and I got 2 types of soups: Pasta e Fagioli and Minestone. Funny that they both tasted similar even one with meats, one without, maybe they both had beans and tomato. They tasted ok with balanced seasoning. Our server, Randi was really helpful and patient, she noticed we left a lot of foods on the table, brought to go boxes up without we asked, also being helpful for the bill. I gave her 5 stars. read more

Ok, let me begin with I understand it is Mother's Day. That being said, it should not take an hour and a half to get our food. Tables that had been seated after us has been served their food and we are still waiting. I have never had this type of service anywhere much less here at Olive Garden. We have been at the location many times and never had a problem. We were sat at 5:30 and it is 7 PM and still no food. Completely unacceptable!!! Asked to speak with a manager who has yet to come by. That was 15 minutes ago!!!!!! If I could rate a zero I would. read more

God like service, there's never been one like Eddie. No one may know David Goggins, but we know Eddie. He's our nameless hero with a name, a legend in the making, and he has the accent so good it would make you shake to your very core. Immaculate service and facial features. diamond earring immediately made me understand the gravity of the person I was dealing with. I still can't stop thinking about the experience. The food was also good... For example, he brought out Alfredo sauce with our breadsticks. I almost came when it hit my mouth. 10/10 would recommend. Orgasmic experience of a lifetime and he was a dude... still questioning my sexuality. read more

Great soup, breadsticks, and spaghetti. The service was great. I loved the decor in here.

I went here for a late lunch and this place was packed! I like going to Olive Garden for lunch,so I can have my pasta,but a small plate of it. We were greeted and seated right away, and our waitress, Mackenzie F. Came over to us as we were seated. She gave us plenty of time to decide what we wanted, and checked on us frequently while we were there. Our food came quickly and was very good. I enjoyed all the different delicious smells from the kitchen as well. read more
