Love the soups and salad. They also have great selection of cocktails drinks . Service at times can be slaw due to the how busy they are.

Olive Garden is Olive Garden. Consistent flavors throughout all locations. Non stop salad soup and breadsticks is big money maker.Watermelon sangria is an excellent choice. read more

Food was good, to order. Mostly clean in the cafe style area. Waiter did his task professionally. It'd be nice to have some more herb blend choices to go with the meal, also having more vegetable selection would be nice when selecting a vegan dish. read more

There are quite a few new take-out parking spots in front, and a take-out pickup table in the entry. Good idea; if you're too busy to cook, you can pick up a decent dinner of chicken parmesan or alfredo. Speaking of which, we had an office lunch again at the Dover Olive Garden--admin's choice. The boss (me) takes out the office every now and then because my favorite boss of all time years ago would take out our team on a whim now and then, and it made for nice memories. The lunch deals are fantastic; bread sticks, salad or soup and an entree for a reasonable charge. Beware that soft drinks are going to add to the bill but they are unlimited refill, which makes up for that. One of our party added alfredo sauce as a dip for the breadsticks, which were thoroughly baked and not doughy. You could have a lunch of salad and breadsticks with that dip...it was rather good. If you haven't tried dipping the breadsticks in sauce, it's fun. I might prefer marinara, I'm not so much of an alfredo fan but either would be great. Service was speedy and friendly. People like to throw shade at Olive Garden as "not authentic Italian" but it is authentic AMERICAN-Italian and I enjoyed even the side of spaghetti with the chicken parm. A good spot if you want a quick but hearty lunch. The Dover spot is always doing a good job. read more

Its rare that I find my self left truly speechless, but leaving Olive Garden tonight there was left nothing to say. The endless bread sticks, soup, and salad filled the hole in my stomach but Cj and Maddy filled a hole in my soul. They moved around the table with such elegance I could've mistaken them for dancers in the ballet. They painted our table with color, the breadstick their brush, with the precision of Van Gogh. They showed coordination and teamwork that led me to believe they had been working together for years, imagine my surprise learning we were the biggest party they had ever served. As we learned from ratatouille food is powerful, it can bring you joy, memories, and satisfaction. Cj and Maddy taught me that food holds no candle to the power people hold. I left my dining experience tonight not only speechless but feeling emotionally fulfilled and with a new optimism for the world. Honestly, I worry that I'll spend my life chasing this feeling, spending long nights tossing and turning always coming back to the same conclusion. I am nothing if not a lost soul navigating the world blindly praying for the day that Cj and Maddy will provide me guidance once more. read more

I think we all know what Olive Gardens are like, but I stopped by here and there was plenty of parking, was quickly seated, and for lunch, they have good and low-priced options. I got the chicken and gnocchi soup, and it was probably the most gnocchi I've ever gotten in a bowl (sometimes they can be a bit light on them.) They also offered a soup refill which I didn't need, but I appreciate the option. I got the chicken parm and had no trouble substituting the pasta for broccoli to make the meal a little healthier. It arrived quickly and was very tasty. For lunch, one usually wants a good meal somewhat quickly, and this place delivered. There's a reason why OG is popular, and I got good food + good price + speedy service. That's a win. read more

Hermoini was an amazing server, and food was great! Overall would recommend this Olive Garden.

I come to the Dover location all of the time and the experience is always great. This time however we got sat immediately and then sat for 20 minutes not even greeted. By the time our server got there she did not apologize and then just rolled her eyes at us as she walked away. Any time she came back to the table she had a very strong attitude. We did not feel comfortable asking for anything because she always was rolling her eyes and talking bad about her tables to the other server. It got to the point I needed a togo order I ordered it on line because one she did not come back after giving our food to us and I didn't want her to roll her eyes any more because at this point we had already waited for forever and it just wasn't okay. For 50 dollars in food over all and having to place a 20 dollar togo order it would be nice to at least have some good service. read more

Service and food are always great. Every time I go it's a great experience. never have to wait for food

We've been going here for years and have never been disappointed. The food was fresh and delicious and the service was spot on! I really wanted to give 5 stars but Olive Garden you need to either clean real good or get rid of that old musty smelling carpeting. Otherwise it's a great place to eat with good prices! read more

We had an after funeral Luncheon that was enjoyed by all . The staff was very professional and friendly. The managers helped us plan everything. Dustin, Michael and Eric were truly a pleasure to set the Luncheon up with. Everyone enjoyed their platters and the salads were very fresh and plentiful. We are very happy we choose this location!!! read more

We left before we could even sit down. The wait was 20 minutes when most tables were empty. The hostess was rude and unwelcoming. The entire place smelled musty and it overall looked just plain gross. We lost our appetite and left to go elsewhere. While leaving the hostess was even more rude that we left. I was looking forward to stopping in. read more

Order not ready late dinner. Manager gave incorrect number for complaint. Never again.

Today I walked in trying to waste time before picking up my son from school and it was 2:57pm. I asked the waitress could I still get the lunch special which ended at 3pm and she said sure. I ordered a chicken parm and I got bread sticks soup and a salad. It was a lot of food for only 15 dollars. I was seated in a quiet private area. My server was nice and accommodated me with everything I asked for. My food was hot and tasty. Salad was delicious I enjoyed my little lunch alone today. Will visit again with the family next time. Thank you for lunch today Olive Garden! read more

Food was great as always, big portions, always leave happy. What I want to really review was the staff. Our server was Greg, he was awesome kept drinks full, was prompt and on top of things, especially when we had a drink mishap at our table. So thank you Greg for the excellent service! There was a female server I didn't catch her name who was so great, she had a table with an elderly couple who were having some difficulty with menu choices and not finding exactly what they were looking for, she was so sweet and helpful making suggestions close to the items they were looking for. She never once lost her smile. It was great to see! read more

A good friend sent me a gift card that I used for my birthday. I got toasted raviolis, the tour of Italy with shrimp and scallops added to the Alfredo, a salad and breadsticks, raspberry lemonade, and a chocolate brownie lasagna. First, it is enough food I will get a few meals out of it. Second, it is delicious food. Third, the chocolate brownie lasagna is soooo yummy and very flavorful with good chocolate! The service was friendly and fast. It was pleasant sitting in the front of the restaurant waiting for my food. Home for prime time TV! I am full and happy. Thank you my friend! read more

This restaurant has to be the dirtiest restaurant I've visited in my life in regards to dirty dishes, cutlery, and plates. We had to ask for cleaner sets of everything. Sometimes the replacements were dirtier than the first ones they bought us. Never again will I return to this place. read more

I am never disappointed at the Olive Garden. My favorite place. I always have good servers and the foid is very good

Haven't eaten here in YEARS, but wanted to check it out. Food was surprisingly good for a chain Italian restaurant. Got the spinach and artichoke dip, stuffed shells, and the donuts. The shells, wow. Way better than I thought. Stuffed to the brim, with marinara and alfredo sauces on top, can't go wrong with that. The donuts were amazing, nice and warm, and the dipping sauces were warm too. Also got the Italian margarita. Way better than I imagined, tasted good, not too sweet, and a perfect amount of liquor. Service was also great. Our waiter was very attentive and personable. Wasn't very busy on a Sunday night, we were seated immediately. I'll be back! read more

We had the most wonderful dinner tonight and our waitress Lyndsay was amazing. We ordered the chicken primavera with zoodles ($17.79 each) and it was wonderful. Perfectly seasoned, creamy, and the zoodles still had texture. We went around 8 p.m. tonight and the lobby was calm, the service was excellent, and the food was wonderful. We can't wait to go back. read more

I wish I could give a 0 or negative stars for this restaurant. We went there today for lunch and ordered appetizers and main course. The appetizers were good no complaints there. Our main course had an order of Salmon, the moment I took a first bite I felt like throwing up. The fish was rotten, stale and tasted rancid. We called the waitress and requested someone to come from the kitchen a d confirm the taste. To our dismay no one came and one person from the front came and took the plate saying sorry, can we get you another fish. I had to tell her that after this experience do you think I'll order another fish let alone anything from this restaurant? It was a bad experience and looked like management didn't care about a negative review. I would definitely not recommend this restaurant to anyone unless they want to get food poisoning. read more

Server was excellent! Restaurant was clean, the front door staff was very nice. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

I usually go here for dinner but lunch was different! Portions are smaller from the lunch special menu (not complaining) but the service is just as great. Our food was fresh, hot, and delicious. The salad was fresh, and our server angel was an absolute angel. read more

Even though it was Valentine's Day and they were extremely busy, I utilized the reserve your seat ahead of time feature online, so when we arrived we only had to wait about 5 minutes and we were seated. Our waitress was fast and attentive. The food was excellent. The ambiance was very nice. Everything was great. I have to give this experience 5 stars! read more

we boughtpasta Alfredo with salad last week andI had to go to the toilet almost immediately after eating. could be the salad had salmonella- for not having been washed thoroughly .Olive Garden should take note. First time this happened to us though.Im ok now.The salad had blackbolives and hot peppers.went to KFC in Fover DE the other day and ordered mashed potato with gravy. The gravy's consistency was like coke or pepsi, I had to fix it with added flour. Thevprice of a bucket of chicken is now $30.- no chicken feed!Ill try Popeye's.I'll just go Cold Turkey on KFC.the Colonel is demoted. read more

I like Olive Garden, it's a good casual place to go for a quick lunch that's not expensive. We are on a Keto diet and the new zoodles option is great. I have had minor issues in the past but keep coming back because they try. There was a demanding guy at the table next to us. But the staff and manager did a good job trying to please him. My hats off to them. read more

Out with the wife on a special date (Valentines Day) And Olive Garden disappointed all my expectations. The 6 oz stake well done (Burn) the fettuccine was over done or over headed. The color of it was not of a fresh one. Not happy with food. I would say that it is the first time, I have visited this location prior. read more

They have AMAZING food and plenty of options for picky eaters as well! There service is amazing because they can usually get your food done pretty quick and get you to a table pretty quickly as well.

We went last night to the unlimited pasta promotion. We waited over 45 minutes for our food to come out and when it did come out it was cold and the pasta edges were dried. Another person in our group ordered something else and it came out cold with the cheese hard. We put in for another order of the endless pasta and that was a mistake. Thirty minutes later it came out the same way. Cold and hard pasta. The waitress was wonderful! She kept the bread and salad coming. Our drinks were never empty. We there over two hours. Will think twice about eating here again. read more

Over the years I have been here many times, mostly because its great for large parties and they offer many options. However, the service here is slow and the staff just seems confused. The last time I came in with 16 people and we waited while they put tables together for us, however they put together circle and square tables and made the seating very awkward. There were plenty of tables in the area that they seated us that could have made a long table to accommodate all of us. Staff just didn't understand and we ended up putting our own tables together. Food is average Service is average read more

I do not like the color things but I dislike Olive Garden with a passion. I am a successful black woman and frequently take my daughters out to different enthic restaurants to taste various palates. They automatically attempted to seat us in an over crowded area in these high times of covid. When I asked to sit elsewhere, they sent out the manager whom was extremely rude and inconsiderate. He also said I said things I did not say, but thank you this money will go elsewhere. Signing off a restaurant business owner, masters degree nurse and educated. DONT JUDGE PEOPLE BY THE COVER read more

Ricky was a great server! He was attentive and friendly and recommended Peach sangria. The food was good and the breadsticks were bomb too

Very yummy! Service could be faster but nice place with good food! Not bad at all. Love the fettuccine alfredo!

Man, I feel like all of the Delaware restaurants we go to seriously are lacking experience and quality. I feel like i've done nothing but rate 1's. We visited this Olive Garden after making a trip up north from Southern DE. Lettuce was brown and mushy, no breadsticks at table, Zuppa had no kale in it and it looked like some of the meat came from canned chicken. We were comped bill since service was bad as well. We really need highly qualified young professionals in this state. read more
