    Have been here for a team lunch on a weekday. Not so busy. Got a nice seating. Server was amazing, responsive, constantly checking if we required anything. Coming to the order for the day, we ordered Minestrone soup(6), Salad(2), Breadsticks(2), Five Cheese Ziti Al Forno, Eggplant Parmigiana, Cheese Ravioli and Shrimp Scampi. Everything was served hot. We ordered from lunch menu, liked everything. Note that quantity is mostly for one person if you are ordering from lunch menu. If you want to try more varieties go with lunch menu, but you will be missing on few specialities. Best part was the total came to $80ish which we didn’t expect.

    Not a bad Olive Garden location. Ordered the stuffed pasta dish and berry sangria. Obviously it’s a chain restaurant so don’t expect too much. The place was clean and the staff was friendly. 4 stars because for the prices I’d rather go to a mom and pop restaurant spot

    Went there today to take my 2 little ones to eat. Ordered got some smoothies and drinks then I wanted to make sure we all washed our hands before eating, so I took my kids to the bathroom to wash them real quick. Didn’t even use the bathroom just washed our hands and came back to our whole table cleared off and empty. Literally gone for 2 minutes. And we hadn’t even touched our stuff yet kids smoothies were full to the top still. even had a menu there still so I can look at dessert. Our waiter came by and said oh ate you guys leaving? I told her no someone cleared off our table. And the guy cleaning tables was cleaning 2 tables over and I asked him if he cleared our stuff er didn’t touch yet and he said no 🙄. I seen my glass of water in his bin too bcus I had mine with lemons inside it so I don’t know why he tried to lie to me for. No apology either. Anyways had to get our stuff all over again which was annoying because who just clears untouched stuff. Train your staff better. Who wants to go eat somewhere unprofessional like that. It’s not a mistake it’s just careless. First time I been back here in a few years n wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. On a positive note the salad was alright, kids liked the shrimp scampi I ordered but not all of what they ordered which was the kids pizza n spaghetti. My daughter said her Mac n cheese was tasty lol.

    The Tour of Italy was delicious, but the chicken parmigiana was just okay. The bread sticks with the fettuccine sauce was phenomenal. Salad 🥗 was really good. Definitely got full. Forgot how good the salad is. Could just go here for the Never-Ending... 😄

    The BEST Shrimp Alfredo! I always get it with some black olives on the side so I can add it in. Olive Garden’s Alfredo sauce has always been so divine to me extra creamy, rich, cheesy and buttery. Just truly unbeatable, everything you would hope for in the perfect Alfredo. Great friendly service every time I come here and they really give you a good size portion of food. I’ve never had a problem at this location. We always come here for our family birthdays. The dessert I can’t get enough of and always have to get is the chocolate brownie lasagna cake. It’s delicious just the right amount of chocolate, it melts in your mouth the way the layers hit your tongue is just different than traditional cakes you find.

    Went here for a birthday dinner with five people seating was a bit cramped. The service was amazing. The food was also very good and hot. I had a chicken and shrimp with chicken gnocchi soup along with a few drinks from their pitcher section. Definitely one of the better Olive Garden locations. Will be back!

    So delicious! Olive Garden started as a unit of General Mills The first Olive Garden was opened on December 13, 1982, in Orlando. By 1989, there were 145 Olive Garden restaurants, making it the fastest-growing units in the General Mills restaurant division. Olive Garden restaurants were uniformly popular, and the chain's per-store sales soon matched former sister company Red Lobster. The company eventually became the largest chain of Italian-themed full-service restaurants in the United States

    Food: Salad Minestrone soup was good. It was fulfilling and had a good amount of beans, tomatoes, and other veggies. The chicken and yoki soup is delicious. The soup is very creamy. Service: The waitress was very sweet. She provided us with some helpful advice. She made sure we were good throughout our meal.

    Always a great lunch or dinner. Food is fresh and tasty. Only drawback is there are not enough choices on their menu for low carb diets. Even the soups are full of carbs. Would love to try some grilled chicken or fish salad there!

    Food was decent, not amazing but not bad either. Clarissa the server, however, is on another level! We had a bday party of 7, who were somewhat demanding (7 waters but no ice in one, drinking straws for 2, extra orange for the Blue Moon, bottle of Merlot but only 4 glasses, etc) but she met every request with a smile. She automatically split the check without asking, even corrected the checks as requested so the wine would be on mine. She made it a 5-star experience and everyone made sure to tip 30-50%

    I enjoyed my Sunday lunch on 9/3. Ernesto, our waiter was outstanding. He made our lunch very memorable. We will be back. We ordered shrimp scampi & chicken alfredo with soup and salad. Everything was delicious!

    Excellent food, great staff, and wonderful atmosphere. We spoke to the manager Eugene a few times.. He's very professional and helpful. We've seen him greet guests and help out the staff when their busy. We're very satisfied with the eastridge location. We will continue to dine at this location regularly. Sincerely Cece

    I don’t ever normally do ratings, but I just had to come on here and say this location of Olive Garden is by far my favorite one. Not only the servers were amazing but the manager as well. He at least came to our table 5 times and many times to the rest of the dine in guests making sure we were all satisfied. I don’t see that a lot In other Olive Garden locations but also other dine in restaurants. Food was absolutely fresh and fast. Super saucy and flavorful. All employees were amazing. Great staff they have.

    I live in Los Angeles and I visited this place for lunch during my business trip to Bay Area. I am a vegetarian so had salad and other vegetarian items. Food was good and service was excellent. I brought food for my family members and the food was packed nicely for the flight so I didn't have any problem at the security. My family members too liked the food.

    We got there at 8:40ish PM, didn’t receive our food until almost 9:30. Ordered 2 orders of endless pasta, and was never offered another serving. Paid around $45 for endless pasta and we both only had one bowl each. The waitress only came to our table once, our whole time there, to check if we needed anything. When the waitress did come back she was asking if we wanted boxes to go, in the middle of us eating still. We asked her for refills of our sodas, never got them. Also asked for water refills, she brought them after we had already packed up our food. Felt that she was rushing us and the other tables she was serving. The table next to us had order spaghetti, and she brought it in a to go container when he wanted to eat it there. Service wasn’t great, we always come to this location considering we live close. Maybe we’ll try the Great Mall location.

    They put a device on the table looks like a menu thing and my 5 year old who can’t even read play for a bit before our meal delivered and got changed for 2.99. This is really ridiculous. They should have told us about this. Or at least needs to be confirmed by swiping card before we know we will be charged. It’s really a scam. Won’t come here again.

  • 1/5 Constance M. 1 year ago on Google
    We ordered from the gluten free menu and called it in. The chicken Parmesan turned out to be very disappointing plain meat. I think the cook improperly made it initially. They called our house and I said it was an allergy not a preference. So they just scraped off sauce breading cheese etc leaving me 2 plain chicken things and noodles with sauce in another bowl. I didn’t”t get chicken Parmesan

    The servers are very attentive and helpful. I wish I remembered my server's name, today, because she was so kind, patient, and the best server I have encountered at this location. I often have really good experiences here. My food came out really fast. The food, here, is superb, and tasty. I love the shrimp scampi, endless salad and bread sticks!

  • 5/5 michael r. 2 years ago on Google
    The service was fantastic polite and friendly. The best spaghetti and meatballs ever. I would definitely come back.

  • 5/5 teresita p. 2 years ago on Google
    Great and fast service. I ordered the grilled chicken margherita and it was delicious, except the broccoli was raw. Our server was really nice and attentive as well.

  • 3/5 C P. 2 years ago on Google
    I'm not sure if tonight was an off night, but the waitress spilled water on one of us, my brother was given a kids portion at adult price, they forgot one of our meals that we had to remind them to bring out and the chicken was basically a brick. Not a good night all in all. My meal was fine though.

  • 5/5 Eva F. 2 years ago on Google
    The food was delicious and it came to our table quickly. This is one of my favorite restaurants to go to for lunch or dinner

  • 4/5 Great “Gigi” G. 2 years ago on Google
    I like going here for lunch. The choices are reasonably priced and are perfect for a midday meal. I also like the fact you can take Ziti Al Forno home for $5 (as a to go.) Service was good. Atmosphere was good. Price was okay. Try it!
