    Affordable white cloth restaurant with great food and service! This is the best option to eat out with the whole family. It’s a beautiful, clean sit down restaurant with all formalities that seniors like, fast service for the impatient ones, amazing food for the picky ones, and fun games at the table for the little ones and teens. Their unlimited soup, salad and bread at a great price is extraordinary! Dishes are big that can be shared, food quality is superb, the best feature is that you can pay at the table and don’t have to wait for the waiter. Overall they make an extraordinary dining experience at a comparable cost of a self service restaurant!

    Came here last night extremely disappointed with the restaurant. The one in Hialeah is way better. It was dirty the waiting couch had a big spill on it and it looked like no one bothered to clean it. My table wasn’t wiped down when I got there. The section where you enter the restaurant it’s like a little room, actually smelled like a public bathroom. It was absolutely disgusting. And nonetheless best for last I found a HAIR in my pasta and they really had to ask if I wanted another one???? It was dug in it. We ended up paying 55 dollars for I don’t even know what. Don’t even bother coming here. I added pictures of what smelled like a public bathroom, I didn’t manage to take a picture of the hair in my plate because I was so stunned definitely not returning here. Everyone complains about the smell in these reviews and no one has obviously done anything about it……. It smells like sewage. 4 stars???? Did you guys buy your stars or something

    OMG let me start off by saying I brought this on myself and paid for it. I used to work for them back in the 90's and wanted something quick and a bit of nostalgia. But last night $60 was wasted and left feeling like I need to have my stomach pumped. We ordered 2 orders of Chicken Parmigiana and couldn't decide which plate had the hardest chicken patties, then which had the least gravy/sauce. The soup was thick and very salty. This establishment really needs to follow Circuit City out. No tomatoes or flavor were harmed in the making of this dish.

    The restaurant has good service. The employees are friendly and anticipate customer needs. The manager at this facility is happier to accommodate requests. I didn’t like where the hostess sat us— and before I can say anything the manager read my face like a book and moved us to another table. The food is consistent with Olive Garden restaurant quality. No complaints there. The only constructive criticism I think I can give to the owner of this location is to rip up the rugs and put tile or hardwood floors. The restaurant does have a musty odor. I think fixing this will bring customers back home to your restaurant!

    From the beginning to the end the service was excellent, Carlos our server was one of the best waiters that I've ever had. The staff was super nice during our visit and it was my wife's 30th birthday and they were nice enough to take out the gift that I brought her when they sang Happy Birthday to her. My family and I had an excellent time, for sure we will come back.

    Walked in. Sat down. And left. There is a foul order when you walk into the restaurant. We went all the way to the table thinking it was going to improve, but it seems like the entire restaurant smells the same way. It’s almost like a throw up type smell. Writing this review so hopefully management takes action on it. Love Olive Garden (the bread and salad is amazing), but could not dine in this location. It was too much.

    I have not been to this location in about a yearI have not been to this location in about a year. From what I could see and hasn't changed these and change decent service clean restaurant restaurant the food was good. They were busy and we had to wait 15 minutes to get a table for lunch. As usual I ate too much salad and bread sticks so I only have my lunch. Which is OK because I had the other half of the lunch the next day. Not a bad deal that's what you would expect from an Olive Garden pretty good location.

    I had an exceptional dining experience at Olive Garden thanks to our server, Frank. His impeccable attention to detail, warm and friendly demeanor, and thorough knowledge of the menu truly elevated our meal. Frank's recommendations were spot-on, and he went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed throughout the evening. His professionalism and genuine care for our enjoyment made our visit truly memorable. I can't thank Frank enough for making our time at Olive Garden absolutely delightful. Five stars all the way!

    Loved it. Olive Garden has been my favorite restaurant for years now. They always outdo themselves when it comes to their service and food. I feel extremely comfortable in their neat and clean atmosphere. Their service is beyond amazing and honestly couldn't be better. They truly never fail and I can't wait to continue going for years to come. I highly recommend.

    We come here often and have never been disappointed. Love the soup/salad and the service. Ate there about 2 weeks ago and our food was delicious. Our server was attentive. We're really glad this restaurant is near our home. Keep it up Olive Garden!👍 Oh, I've read comments about unpleasant odor and can't understand. We've never experienced that, not even in the restroom. 🤷‍♀️

    The food just keeps going downhill. I have never been so disappointed with any meal in my life before. Everything including the breadsticks looks, feels and tastes like it’s been sitting down for hours. My meal arrived with the cheese looking like plastic and the red sauce having a hard skin over it. The service was good and attentive, however after I complained nothing was done.

    We haven't been in years. And we went recently for eggplant parm pick up. By the time we got it home it was still crispy! So good! It was absolutely perfect. It was a huge portion. Their breads are a hit or miss. Some are on the dry burnt side or some are perfection!

  • 5/5 Sherria G. 1 year ago on Google
    It was busy but the service was good and the staff was friendly. Although I was in no hurry to leave, some people were and made it clear that they were trying to catch a movie by a certain time and they came after my party of 3 and left before we did. So again I say it was a good time especially since it was only my second time eating at Olive Garden.

  • 5/5 Jasmine N. 1 year ago on Google
    The ac was on FULL blast abd the restaurant was soooo cold. But the food compensated for that. I got the new added item on the menue which was the chicken marsala fettucine and it was delicious. The picture does it no justice, but it was AMAZING!!!

  • 5/5 Jessica J. 11 months ago on Google
    Hi Olive Garden, Thank you so much Olive Garden, this is my favorite restaurant 😍. Music is always 🥰🥰lovely and speaks to my soul. Very elegant ! As we are preparing to attend a funeral tomorrow we drove to Pembroke Pines Mall to buy clothes (we wasn’t successful finding 😩 anything) with my mother today, however I had to stop at Olive Gardens to get her a delicious lunch before we head back on the highway to Miami. You guys are very professional, clean and efficient. Special thanks to my server Andrea, she was very kind, knowledgeable of the menu, actually helped me decide on my meal, and suggested the new Ravioli for my husband to try, I know he will love to try it. Once again you all kept a smile in my heart ❤️. I love Olive Gardens always and forever. Stay Awesome! Best Regards, Jessica J.

    I love everytime I visit this place. 6oz Sirloin with pasta Alfredo is the best! And don't make me start talking about the bread sticks!

  • 3/5 Yaneiris B. 9 months ago on Google
    I've never been a real big fan of olive garden. Went there for my aunts funeral dinner. It does seem like the waitress could have used a little bit more help on at our tables. It felt like a lengthy time just to get drinks. Good was ok.

  • 5/5 Nexus L. 1 year ago on Google
    Friendly staff, The highlight of the visit was the amount of time and dedication that the chef put towards the plates and presentation, all the plates came out amazing I’ve been to a lot of Olive Garden‘s but this one really takes the cake!

  • 5/5 Robert C. 4 months ago on Google
    I had an opportunity to stay Italy saw Rome, Sicily the Colosseum, and while visiting these ancient city's I of course dined with the locals and I’ll tell your your Olive Garden would fit in and be welcome in these city’s. I first read from other reviews that the restaurant’s carpet was old, being this was our first time at this Olive Garden all I can say ‘it ain't there any more! They said it smelled, will I’ll agree to an Oder, I smelled the same smells from Roma’s restaurant’ lasagna, Spaghetti, um- red sauce w/ cheese. I almost wanted to know who was cooking, you could almost believe a true Italian Madre was cooking and humming those festive italian songs We had our usual soup and salad and the paste fagioli was incredible- our waitress brought all items out to us so fast we barely had time to look around. God Bless Fred’s Day Off

    Service was outstanding and the Manager came to the table to see how everything was and welcome us. We had the lunch specials and a house salad. Nice weekday lunch

  • 2/5 Shailendra C. 5 months ago on Google
    Not a great experience at Olive Garden, Pembroke pines. I love going to Olive Garden and go mostly to Plantation location. I ordered Salmon with Salad. Food was good. I never check my bill and not sure why I checked this time after coming back home. Found that they had placed Salad as additional item and charged me for the same. Called & spoke to the Manager and who advised that this is because it was shared with someone else on the table. My daughter took a small bite to taste it. This has never happened and not going back again to this location. Will also advise you all to watch out.

  • 4/5 CJ 5 months ago on Google
    Salad and main course were good, but the breadsticks could've used more seasoning. Dessert was very good, the black tie mousse cake.

  • 2/5 HoneyEyez 3 years ago on Google
    For spending $50 on 2 meals I expect my food to taste pretty decent. I don't expect for my food to be below mediocre. It's like they're cutting back on seasonings and sauce to save money. I only order one dish from this place and that's the chicken scampi, for the price to have gone up on it I thought maybe it'll be still be a good dish if not better. And forget about the shrimp scampi that was worse, nobody in the kitchen made sure the food had some flavor to it. I had more taste from food when I had corona. This is not a "just this location" this is a corporate issue and if they expect more money for the food then its expected for more flavor form the food. Now's the time to focus on better tasting food since more ppl are ordering out, do better Olive Garden. Oh and the service is still extra slow. Stay safe and healthy.

  • 4/5 Danielle D. 3 years ago on Google
    I ordered to go. I ordered 3 entrées. One of the entrees were missing the shrimp, a key ingredient of the dish. I didn’t recognize that the shrimp was missing until I got home, which was not near the restaurant. I called and spoke to the manager Leo. He was apologetic and was willing to make the situation right by fixing a new complete dish. I explained that I wouldn’t be able to make it back that day, but could come by the next day. Leo said that he wouldn’t be there but would leave my name for the manager that would be on staff the next day. The next day when I called in I spoke with Lisa. She told me that she would have the meal ready when I got there. When I got there it was ready as promised. It was bad that the shrimp were missing in the first place, but I appreciate the professionalism and no hassle attitude that was demonstrated by both Leo and Lisa.

    My spouse and I ordered "for take out" a variety of pasta for 10 people. Spaghetti, linguini, meat balls, sausage. The food was well prepared, I must say, excellent. For our surprise, Olive Garden manager, Yosviel Blanco, added not only utensils, but an array of plates, aluminum containers, disposable wire chafer with stand and the sterno heating cans, to our surprise.

    If you are going here in the near future and read my review, ask for JOSH. This guy made the entire dinner amazing. Super nice and on point. Will be back just for him. Olive Garden is lucky I sold my business before COVID happened or I’d hire him myself. Thanks again josh.

    The service at this location is horrible. And the food is hit or miss. I ordered curbside pick up I called when arrived. I waited an additional 35 min in the car before I final went inside. My food was sitting on the corner. Obviously cold by now.I paid ahead of time online and The staff offered no solution. Food was definitely a miss (again) I only ordered from here for the curbside option. Big mistake. I tried to speak with the manager he or she never came to the front or the phone.
