    We were on vacation and stopped here for dinner. We had a great experience here. We appreciate being greeted immediately as we walk through the door. The hostess brought us to our table. We noticed the prices on the menu has increased since last time we have been to Olive Garden. Our server was excellent. He was very friendly and kind. He checked on us many times. He refilled our water and breadsticks. We received our food very quickly after we ordered it. The food was delicious. Our son enjoyed his pepperoni pizza. We enjoy our experience at Olive Garden whenever we are here. Today’s experience was no exception. This is the reason we keep coming back.

    We had the best dining experience ever for an Olive Garden. The Duluth location provided superb service and all the food was excellent. They were able to accommodate our large family of eight at one table. It felt like we had a private dining table and they were able to split the “Taste of Italy” one entree for two people keeping our meal satisfying and affordable. Our waitress and servers were Anna and Grace providing superb service consistently checking on our needs.

    The food was great, the atmosphere was good, but the service was AMAZING! Our server Mitch should be training in new servers as he is an example of what good looks like. He was attentive, speedy, well informed and knowledgeable. Bravo to Olive Garden Duluth for discovering a gem like Mitch!! Definitely coming back again!!

    I’m not usually one to love chain restaurants and can safely say I haven’t been to this Olive Garden in 6 years. That being said, we had received a gift card and decided to go tonight. We had a surprisingly fabulous experience that blew us away. Logan was our server and his customer service skills were exceptional. The food was delicious, too. We’ll happily return.

    Went with 4 adults, all ordered something different and got an appetizer and dessert. For an appetizer we got the parmesan metal balls, there were big bread crumbs and melted cheese on top. Everyone enjoyed them, but there were a little under seasoned. 7.5/10 still a solid appetizer. (there's only one in the photo.. You get 5. We were hungry x.x) The garden salad was a 7/10, some people liked it more than others but everyone got at least 2 bowls worth so I'd say it was a hit. The bread was also pretty solid, but maybe a little over cooked as once they cooled off a bit they were a bit hard. It's hard to give free salty, buttery, bread a low score, especially when they bring it out still warm. If give them a 7/10 as well. The chicken Alfredo is a 8/10, very cheesy and planty of chicken. The sauce and pasta may have been a bit thick for some but we prefer it that way. Chicken gnocchi soup was rich and creamy, 7.5/10 maybe a little under seasoned. The spaghetti and meat balls was a solid 8/10. Very saucy and flavorful. The steak and Alfredo sauce was really good. The Alfredo sauce like mentioned before might be a little dry for some but I prefer it that way. Very saucy, and thick. The steak unfortunately was a little undercooked for my liking (ordered a well done and got a medium rare) they cooked me a whole new order of steak with a side of Alfredo sauce. I ate it all, slightly punishing but it was too good to waste. Not only did they replace the while meal they comped the meal, amazing customer service! The second steak I got was perfectly cooked and very flavorful. For dessert we got itilian donuts with a chocolate raspberry sauce. They were very light and fluffy, the sauce was rich creamy and the fruity flavor came threw. It was hard to get the sauce on the icing sugar coating but after a couple dipings you get one of the best desserts I've had, I've not the best. 10/10 it's a must try if you haven't already. The atmosphere is a typical itilian American restaurant, service was superb, and the place was clean. We try to go to olive garden in Duluth at least once a trip but after this experience I'll try to convince the group to go multiple times. :) Overall I'd give this place a 9/10 the management and staff are doing something right here.

    Picked up some takeout tonight for 12 people. Ordering was easy, food ready on time, and it was hot and delicious. Most have been to an Olive Garden and know they deliver a good experience. It is always an added bonus when a restaurant can deliver on take out food, also.

    While running errands, I needed to get something for dinner with not enough time to cook, and the old stand-by of pizza or burgers was getting old. Decided to change things up and order a pick-up order from Olive Garden. A nice change of pace. Ordered from the app, picked a time for pick up, went to pick it up, texted them through the app, and a wonderful lady brought my meal to me with a beautiful smile. So easy even a caveman can do it. Will do it again. And the food was great!

    Anniversary dinner and the experience was awesome! The waiter Trey was super attentive and the manager stopped by twice. When there was a little hiccup in the food they took care of us very fast.

    Service was very impressive. My waitress was Lily , she was so attentive and kind. The food was delicious and she took her time to understand my order. I was definitely blown away with the service.

  • 5/5 Danielle D. 7 months ago on Google
    The manager was totally understanding when I wasn't happy with the meal I ordered. She let me order a new meal and took it off the bill. Definitely going to be coming back. They make you feel right at home and our prompt on refills and making sure your meal is satisfactory. Five stars for sure!

    Good service, thank you grace and good food. We started with salad and breadsticks, I recommend getting a sauce boat. We enjoyed pasta next The wine is a good selection here. My drink was re -filled in a timely manner. On the weekend it was busy, but I only had to wait about ten minutes to sit. Good coordination of tables! The hardest part about eating here was that we had to park a little ways away and walk a little bit, but upon going in it was obvious that they we're packed, alot of people where sitting around in the lobby and waitin g, so i'm not upset about how long it took for me to get a menu. I was done eating and paid in about 60 minutes and we had a party of 4, exactly full at a square table.

    Excellent experience here. Our server was fantastic. The food was delicious. They said 15-20 min wait yet we were at our table in 10 min. Food came out fast. Busy night there and we felt so taken care of. Staff worked very well together. Thanks for a great dining experience.

    Great service amazing food decent prices. I will eat here again. Very nice staff.

  • 5/5 Cassandra Lone (. 1 year ago on Google
    Quite busy but understandably so for the rush hour and hockey weekend. The serving sizes are huge and the amount of meat in both dishes that had it was huge, too! They cut down their menu and it was the right call. Focusing on fewer dishes with more shared ingredients means that everything tastes better and has much better presentation. If you were disappointed years ago, please give this location another shot. The to-go boxes are a really great deal!

    Everything was great except maybe the picture of berry sangria wasn't quite their regular berry sangria... But service was impeccable and the food was good.

  • 4/5 Brian S. 1 year ago on Google
    I like Olive Garden. Dependable menu and affordable prices. Since they were bought out a few years back the menu has focused around efficiency and I can feel it really bleeding through. Less ingredients with higher economies of scale for the company but diminishing returns for the customer. It's a brand and a model. It would be great to see something fresh and new. Good and consistent food but nothing else.

  • 5/5 Carrie N. 1 year ago on Google
    As always super good! I'll always crave their gnocchi soup. The service was wonderful & the food was perfect. UPDATE Ordered a gallon of chicken gnocchi soup. Put it in the back & WE forgot to close the back end to our Jeep. There went all the soup on the road. We went back after calling & within MINUTES they gave us a replacement NO CHARGE! This is 100% above & beyond. Will recommend to everyone. However the seagulls and ravens got a free meal.

    Excellent service, perfect food... loved it. Had not been to Olive garden in a while I guess I had it in my mind that it was prohibitively expensive. It's not the cheapest meal but even the lunch entrees are generous so you get leftovers... and they are yummy!

  • 3/5 Bob W. 2 years ago on Google
    1st time I've ever complained about the food here. Everything seemed watered down with little flavor. Pasta wasn't cooked enough too.

  • 5/5 Helen W. 2 years ago on Google
    The staff wore masks but we could hear smiles in their voices! The food was prepared quickly and tasted wonderful! The long island iced tea was delicious 😋 We ordered desserts to go and the staff boxed up our leftovers swiftly. Excellent as always!

  • 4/5 Alex G. 1 year ago on Google
    Delicious food for sure, we all shared a bite so we could see how Delicious each plate was. Steak was made to perfection, yum. The shrimp was done so nicely.
