    The Olive Garden has always been consistent at any location in my eyes. I know what to expect. Decent fresh food at a decent price and the salad and breadsticks are worth the trip. My bartender was cordial and introduced herself and got to business once her previous business was attended to. I started with a Watermelon Moscato Sangria, which was loaded with fruit and was really sweet but awesome! The salad and bread sticks are standard and as good as usual! For dinner I had the salmon and asked if I could have Pasta Alfredo like the Steak comes with. The bartender didn't even blink. (No big deal and didntbhave to ask if it was okay) The salmon was grilled perfectly, the alfredo sauce was cheesy and delicious, and the pasta was al dente. All I could ask for! I did notice a surcharge of $3.99 for the pasta, which I thought was a little weird because the Steak comes with alfredo which is $3 cheaper. No biggie, it was awesome! Had a great conversation with the GM, he invited us to stop for drinks after the Eagles/Commanders game!

    Our waitress was the best! We were told it was her 4th day of training. We would've never known that. She was excellent @ her job! I believe her name was Jae.

    We went to this spot for our 6 year anniversary and we had a great time drinks and food came out as soon as we ordered it our waiter Amber was so sweet and pleasant and made our experience one anniversary to really remeber. It wasn't to packet and we had a good sitting area where we sat . The food was freshly made, the drinks was lit and the dessert was on point great job to the cooks and the hosts as well everyone had a good energy and was nice. Will be returning again.

    This is one of the best Olive Garden locations I've been to. The food is always excellent and the servers are very polite and friendly. We were seated in less than 5 minutes on a busy weekday evening. Our server asked if we wanted wine, cheese, salad, and breadsticks. He also continuously checked on us throughout our time there to ensure we were enjoying the meal. We will definitely be returning again!

    Found a Hair in my dessert after I left and was going to eat it 🤮🤮 it dragged through the cheesecake but was stuck inside the container of strawberries. won't be coming back to this location ever again, but I will go back to get a refund today.

    This Olive Garden in phenomenal; This was my second time going and it was even better than the first time. Yesterday my last progeny turned twelve; I took her and three of her closest friends out. Three ordered Shrimp 🦐 Parmesan , one ordered Shrimp 🦐 Scampi and I ordered Chicken 🍗 Marsala. The food tastes phenomenal. Nice family atmosphere or date night rendezvous.

    My family and I decided to order take out on Christmas Eve. Olive Garden was extremely understaffed, overwhelmed and unorganized per usual. We ordered the tour of Italy, spaghetti and meatballs and Lasagna which all contained beef. The next day my family and I were extremely sick. We had food poisoning symptoms which included; vomiting, headache and diarrhea. What hurt me the most was seeing how sick my 3 year old had gotten. It took an entire 7 days to feel normal again. I will never eat at this establishment again!

    This place is one of the most premium Olive Gardens I have been to. They automatically brought out salad, they gave a ton of breadsticks, and it was the fastest service we have ever gotten at any Olive Garden, ever. 10/10 Breadstick rating 🥖

    Was skeptical because of the location. Boy, was I surprised! Staff was friendly, efficient, check ins were on point. Guests were spread out to allow social distancing. Masks for staff. Food was well prepared and tasty. Salad cold and crisp. Try the Apple Sangria!

    So let me start by saying the website is supposed to give you real time updates if you will need to be placed on wait list....it told us it was a no wait..we got there and it was people waiting outside to be seated and was told it was a 30min...we got called fairly quick BUT was told the server was still getting the table together...while we waited they ended up calling another party the same size as mines and began to seat them so I spoke up and she was like OH and took us to another table WHERE THERE WAS NO WAITER! after 10min I asked finally the waiter came and THANKFULLY he made up for the hostess mistakes!!!! DIEGO needs Employee of the Month! Food and Drinks were good!

    I took my family out for dinner and we enjoyed everything. No wait time, the host was friendly and the waitor was excellent. Diego made sure we had everything we needed and everything we ordered to perfection (great kitchen staff). Refills were brought out fresh and timely. Both appetizers were great and 3 entrees were delicious. This visit was excellent.

    Great restaurant in a great location. I shorted them 1 star because they appeared to be short-staffed on a busy Saturday afternoon which led to long wait times even though half the tables were empty. Our server was new but did a great job. There were 7 of us and we had no need to return anything. Thanks Olive Garden!

    I had not been to an Olive Garden in a while but this place was very nice. The atmosphere was very beautiful. The food was amazing. My husband had Shrimp Scampi and I had Beef Lasagna which was so flavorful and tasty. Our drinks were good and strong. The service was amazing. The waiter was very attentive and fast. Food came out so fast , so fast I was wondering how they cooked it so fast. We will be going back.

    All of the staff were friendly and welcoming. We were told we would have to wait about 30 minutes to sit a party of 4. We waited at the bar since there were 4 seats that became available just as we walked in. The bartender (I don't remember her name) was kind enough to promptly clean off the bar for us so that we could sit. She was friendly and informative about drinks/drink ingredients. She was also able to provide us with our check just in time for our party to be called. Jon, our server, was great. He really was attentive and accommodating to our party's needs. We will return.

    The service was okay we waited a little longer for our food than usual. But all in all when we did get our food and tasted very good. The waitress might have been new, she kept forgetting to get us things we were asking for. But the waitress was very nice and that's why I believe she may have been new.

    This particular Olive Garden is under staffed. However, quite a few restaurants are under-staffed at the moment . I am not going to hold that against them. So, don't go very hungry and take your patience with you. I must say I was very surprised when I received my bill. The pricing is very confusing to me and I don't think they explain the changes very well. My salmon and broccoli was very tasty. I was pleased and pleasantly surprised. The calamari was salty and cooked too hard. The waiter/waitress staff were patient and friendly. I will give them a 2.5 rating until they can become fully staffed.

  • 5/5 Quiet S. 7 months ago on Google
    Hadn't been to Olive Garden for some time,but I decided to talk my daughter out to dinner, and this is where she chose. Our wait was a little over 30 min, but it was worth it. We shared a few appetizers. After placing our order, which was shrimp Alfredo with broccoli and the tour of Italy platter, we were served in a timely fashion. Food was delicious. We will be back.

    Stopped in for lunch - soup and salad. Soup was great and salad also good. Staff was awesome! My waitress was beyond exceptional! Super nice, took care of my order; she made a care package with my leftovers. Fresh breadsticks, extra salad and a soup. The manager came by to ensure my meal was to my liking. The way they treat customers makes me want to return. Very impressed!

    "Threw out our order" kept us waiting till almost closing. Whole section of seating cleared out before we even got told our order was "lost" and our table never got cleared from the salad and soup nor did we get any refills.

    Olive Garden used to be one of my favs! But then, when they got rid of the steak Gorgonzola Alfredo, they lost me. Still great salad, breadsticks and pasta but that was one of the best things on the menu. Since I hadn’t been in a little over 2 years, my lady and I decided to stop in for dinner the other night at the Capitol Heights location. They were a little understaffed but that did not change the service or the food which was absolutely a 10. I have to be honest, I wasn’t so sure about this location. But I’m glad I went. Our server was attentive, friendly and gave great recommendations! I’m mad I don’t remember her name but she’s a young aa female and she was serving in the bar area on Monday 11/4. I ordered the 6oz steak and Alfredo and whoever cooked that steak it was cooked to perfection! Medium well never taste so good! Thank you OG, we had a great dining experience and we will be back!

    We waited over 15 minutes after being seated for a server to come over and even acknowledge us, it never happened. We watched as people got taken care of and we finally got up and left and went over to Panda Express to get something to eat. Obviously our business was not wanted at this Olive Garden and we will never step foot in their door again.

    The service was good but the food was awful! Honestly the food really had no flavor.

    The food was pretty good. Our waiter was very helpful and attentive. He provided menu options to help with our selections. We ordered the Tour of Italy and shared it since we weren't too hungry. The salad and breadsticks were a plus, as expected. I would visit this location again because the meal was pretty good and the waiter was super friendly and a pleasure. I give this overall dining experience four stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟 Bottom Line: Liked it

    We, at AppleTree@Rocketship Rise are truly grateful for the Teacher Appreciation lunch. It is a blessing knowing that there are organizations that honor the hard work and dedication of teachers. Patrick and his Olive Garden staff provided a full lunch and the teachers could not have been happier! The food was nice and hot and tasty, giving them the much needed boost to get through the day with the children. From the bottom of our hearts, we are so grateful and will be coming through to further support your location!!

    2 Sep, Pretty perfect night. Seated in 5min. Waiter was attentive. Environment was chill. Food and drinks were great. Highly recommend the Italian rum punch. The chicken and shrimp carbonara and meatball appetizer was pretty good too. Also recommend eating donuts at restaurant, they get a bit chewy if not eaten fast.

    We visited on a Thursday night around 8pm and there was a 30 min wait. We put our name on the wait-list and the link they send it is not accurate. It's said there were 5 people ahead of me but then they sat us (after the 30 mins). The restaurant didn't seem that packed and a couple of tables in our sections still had dirty plates on them. Our waitress, Katie, I think, was very nice. We ordered the shrimp frittas for an appetyand they were delicious! They taste very fresh and the shrimp were good size. We also ordered the Tour of Italy and Chicken Alfredo but we ordered it to go because we got full off the salad and appetizer and it was getting late. When I opened it later, I realized they didn't give me enough sauce for my Alfredo. Very disappointing because it was dry. Overall, it was a mediocre experience. Nothing great. Mother terrible.

    It was nice. They kicked us out of the wait in line app. Seating wasn't too bad. Tables in our area needed to be bussed. The manager Kelvin was nice.

  • 5/5 Peter L. 9 months ago on Google
    Parking was good. Atmosphere was good. The food was delicious. The service, Destiny, was spectacular. She made a wonderful example of spot on service on every aspect. Drinks always filled, food delivered with time to eat it prior to the next item (soup, entree). Highly recommend this establishment.

  • 5/5 Sleeprell R. 1 year ago on Google
    The hostess politely let me know there was a 20-minute wait for a table, gave me a buzzer, and warmly offered a seat at the bar until the table was ready. After reaching the comfortable and spacous seating, I realized I could have eaten there instead of waiting. By the time the really pleasant bartender had brought over my drink, the manager was there to escort me to the table. I was amazed at how fresh and well prepared the food was. My servicer top the evening off with great service and a smile. An amazing meal!
