    Overall great experience with the service and food.. always delicious. Weekends it gets a little busy but they move quickly..I have tried a few times to get the online app to reserve a spot but I can't seem to ever get it to work so I suggest going inside and personally signing in for a spot. Some days they are running low on staff so please be patient with them. But overall it's a good experience.

    Birthday Lunch for my daughter's 15th Birthday. The service was fantastic! Our waitress amazing and even got a few dessert for our daughter. It had been a while since I have been to an Olive Garden but I don't remember them so crowded. They gave up on the quality of experience for increase of profit. If dining nearly elbow to elbow isn't ur thing then I suggest not going during peak hours. We didn't have much of an issue with it but I can see how it could be for many. The food was really tasty. The chicken was moist and the pasta cooked perfect.

    Just had some angel hair pasta with four marinara cheese and meat balls. It came out amazingly in my opinion. I also go calamari it was 9/10 for me. It's always nice to eat here but I always eat my food before I can ever take a picture so here you go. I go here often and my favorite thing is the soups. You sit fairly close to the next table over so be ready to hear everyone's conversations. I hate to over hear someone complain about their food. While mine had tasted so good. My server's name was Samantha and she was very sweet fast and delightful. I left her a good tip just for being so nice. Thanks again I will most definitely be back

    It had been 2 yrs since we'd been here and we were a little disappointed. First thing I noticed was there was a lot of waitstaff walking around not doing much except clogging the front lobby and the dining area walkways. The table we were taken to was dirty with greasy finger and hand marks on the table and cheese on the seat. When we pointed it out to the employee she became curt and unfriendly and begrudgingly cleaned it. The waiter we had was extremely nice and did a great job. The food was very good too. The restaurant was oddly crowded with waitstaff and they all seemed unhappy. No one was smiling or talking happily. The bathrooms were atrocious and there was a manager in the restroom washing up so I figured they'd send a clean up staff member but they never did. Overall the ambience was lacking but the food was good.

    Fresh, good looking, large portion Italian Food. Marissa was a great server. Lots of food and drink selections offered. Everyone can find their budget. All meals come with Soup or Salad. Restaurant clean, staff friendly and food good. Staff is well trained...great job management & Aven N. This is a must stop for most. Food is also available by pick up or delivery.

    I had the shrimp fettuccini w/extra sauce & gnocchi soup. I was pleased with my meal...the soup NOT SO MUCH! It barely had chicken or gnocchi in it only broth. A few mints when I had asked for extra...only got 3. All in all it was ok.

    We went in and got the table in 5 mins it was surprising, but our server Rosa was very kind, courteous and attentive, we took chicken and shrimp carbona pasta with salad and appetizer, turn out time was very quick and food was delicious and freshly prepared. The salad was one of the best I’ve had. Overall it was a good time at Olive Garden.

    Ordered take out. Was missing items. Ordered 12 bread sticks, for some reason the receipt said I had 16, and the sticker on the bag. But there were only 8. And they tasted old. My son's meal was missing his side. (French fries) when order was brought out to us, was told they are out of ranch dressing for the salad, so they put a different dressing. We stopped at a store quickly on way home to get ranch dressing. Got home to find there was ranch dressing in the bag. Soups were almost cold. Yes we had to stop for ranch, but it was in and out, and the rest of the food was still pretty hot. And they probably shouldn't put the chocolates in with the hot food, they were all melted and leaked out on the containers.

    Great place to eat. Can't go wrong with Fettuccine and all you can eat bread sticks.

    My husband and I had been in Corpus Christi on vacation for a couple of days & trying out all the local places. On this Wednesday I really needed a good salad, and I knew where to find it! We arrived at this Olive Garden on a Wednesday morning right before noon. We were seated almost immediately and served very quickly. I got my usual chicken & gnocci soup-salad-breadsticks, and he got HIS usual chicken fettuccini Alfredo. Food was excellent, except that they were a little stingy on the Alfredo sauce. Our server, Alicia, was prompt and courteous. Wish she would loosen up & smile more. The atmosphere was good, typical Olive Garden.

    We went for a family dinner for my birthday and our waiter was absolutely amazing. He had a great attitude and awesome personality. He was friendly and did an amazing job.

    Food is always as great as the service. Our favorite place to go. In the video is the Tour of Italy, Chicken Alfredo, and a very yummy Spinach Artichoke dip

    I don't go often to pasta places because I try to stay away from a lot of carbs but I'll tell you the food was really good I. Had chicken Alfredo and a couple of glasses of vodka and the gentleman that served us was amazing.

    It’s unfortunate that I have to leave a 1 star review. Service was terrible. We waited for everything beyond a reasonable amount. It felt like we were in a black hole in the restaurant. Other tables got served all around us except ours. The food was mediocre at best. Breadsticks were cold by the time they came out. It’s been over an hour and we haven’t gotten our food, we ordered chicken Alfredo. That’s saying something. I’m attaching a photo of where my food should be. The only thing that deserves a star is the Manager, Mike. He did his best to coordinate a server for us.

    Great place with very tasty food! everything we tried was very tasty! we ate soup, pasta with shrimp and scallops, and also drank cocktails and lemonade. we had a great time! Unfortunately we forgot our phone there but the next morning their lovely manager gave it back to us! Thanks for the delicious food and great service! We will definitely be back when we are in Corpus Christi!

    Sam was amazing! She was our waitress today. Last time we went here was over 15yrs ago. We had a really bad experience and have stayed away because of it. Today we decided to give it a chance and it paid off. We were treated really well by Sam and so glad we decided to take a chance. Thanks Sam. We'll be back because of you! Thank you for making our experience a positive one!!!

    All of the food was wonderful and hot. I ate the grilled chicken margherita and my husband had the salmon. The broccoli that came with them was a bit dry though. We also had the toasted ravioli, which was delicious and came with more than we anticipated. We finished off with cheesecake, which was amazing!

    We had a big table last night for dinner and we noticed that the servers that we had were having a little issue. James was very rude to his fellow server Sherry. Sherry was an amazing as our server, she kept up with all of our requests and made sure of dinner was taken care of and we didn’t have to wait for our request. James seem to always have an issue and made thing complicated. We will ask for Sherry when we come to eat there. The food was great.

    Spaghetti and meatballs with the salad and Pasta Fagioli soup. My son never tries new things, but the way our server described the soup, my son was open. He loved it!! She said it was like chili with pasta in it. It was delicious. You have to try it next time. Our service was excellent. The restaurant was full and more people were coming in, but the service was still spot on. We will be back!

    The food was good. Service could be better. Ask for a specific drink and when brought it was missing an ingredient. When told to the server she forgot to tell me they were out of it.
