    I came at a bad time, around 3:30pm. Food was HOT and delicious! I’m very impressed with the serving size. I have leftovers! My server was great also :)

    Absolutely Fabulous! I have eaten in Olive Garden Restaurants in 8 different states and none of them match up to the food in this restaurant. Let’s be real. The most important things are taste, cleanliness and service. My order, maybe not yours. This Olive Garden has it all. Very clean, exceptional staff and bar none, the best tasting food of any Olive Garden. I ordered the cheese ravioli, my husband the shrimp fettuccine. I only got a picture of half, because it was so good, I ate half before I realized, I need to tell people about this restaurant’s food! We live 40 miles away, but we will be returning time after time! Thank you managers and chef! Well done!

    Food was delicious and our server, Laura, was amazing! She was so friendly and made us feel at home, even laughed at my dad jokes. I got the eggplant parmigiana and it was cooked perfectly with just the right amount of crunch, will definitely be going back to this Olive Garden in Sioux City!

    The last couple times I’ve been there it’s been even better than usual. The servers have been spectacular, food phenomenal, and such a good environment. 10/10

    I had gone right around lunch time and they were extremely busy. We had about a half hour wait but it was worth it. Even though they were busy, when we ordered our food it was actually done really quick. The food was high quality and flavorful. It was also a good portion for the price. I would recommend this location for anyone who is looking for good Italian food.

    Not real busy. Our server was great. Way ahead of us in offering drink refills. Aided us in getting an extra cloth napkin to keep our 2 year old clean. Kept ahead of my husband's need for more soup. We had a real enjoyable day.

    Great place to bring someone on their special day! We were very well cared for and highlights included: personable service, a second waitress offering to take our group picture, a visit from the new manager who cared enough to make us feel at home and get to know us, and finally a free dessert for Mom's birthday 💗 I think we found our new celebration restaurant. Thanks Sioux City Olive Garden for providing not only a delicious meal but a memorable birthday for my Mom 💗

    There was a bit of a wait, which surprised me at 1 pm on Monday. The waitstaff was nice and attentive. The food was good. I like the unlimited salad, not only is it tasty, but it's got free refills. I had two glasses of wine which were also delicious. Prices are reasonable.

    Great food and Ryan did a great job as the waiter.

    My daughter and I came in on a Sunday afternoon which was her 16th birthday. Was told it would be a 25 minute wait for 2 people and we waited 45 minutes. That was fine. The waiter came and was not social at all. He was polite but not a waiter that had any kind of social skills. We both ordered. Her the Fettuccine Alfredo and me the Shrimp Alfredo. We got our entrees and they both were dry and lacked sauce. We asked for 2 Dr Peppers and it took probably 15 minutes to get them. A lady that wasn’t our server brought them and I replied “thank god” and then asked her for 2 straws. She came back and literally threw the straws on our table, turned around and walked away. I was very upset but didn’t say anything at my daughters request. After thinking about it for days I decided to submit this review . My experience was absolutely not one that I would come back or suggest this restaurant to anyone. For me and my daughter who each had an entree and 2 Dr Peppers it was $66 and was by no means worth that amount of money.

    The best place to go to eat! The service was amazing. My server was very friendly, had great communication. The music inside made me feel like I was in a real Italian place. Highly recommended 👌 👍 👏

    Came in as a party of 9 they had us wait 15 min and sat us. Jasmine L our server was beyond amazing she never failed to notice what was needed and made multiple rounds for refills on drinks and soups and never once made us feel like a bother. The whole table agreed that her service was superior compared to other times we have been here. Made our night 10x better.

    I’ve been to olive garden many times and have always had good experiences however tonight was different 1. ordered a water got a weird lemony cloudy tasting water that was too watery to be lemonade but too lemony to be water with a lemon. tasted very weird. 2. had a BUG in my chicken and gnocchi. the manager was notified and came over to talk to us and we were expecting to get our meal free as there was only 2 of us anyways but at the very least i was expecting to get a discount on our meal. the manager simply asked if we were “okay” and didnt do anything, he just proceeded to walk away. The service is always good, the waitress was very nice, but very disappointed in the experience i had today. Usually you dont have to pay for meals when you find bugs in them, but id assume we were taken advantage of since we are younger.

    We ordered 3 spaghetti dinners/meat sauce+meat balls. Ordered it multiple times in the past because it tastes awesome, not this time, instead of 3 big meat balls we got 4 small ones (2 wouldn't make 1 of the original size ones) It tasted like they used 73% lean beef instead of 93% or 85%. It left a film on the roof of my mouth. It changed the flavor of the meat sauce, we were so disappointed. 53$ for 2 bowls of soup, a salad and bread sticks, thats all we ate, spaghetti is sitting on kitchen table. So disappointed. We won't be back.

    Went to lunch with my daughter per her request. I had heard that none of their food is prepared at the restaurant. Food was bland and gave both of us indigestion. Server was great except she recommended dinner portions vs lunch. It costs twice as much! She did her job but lunch portions are fine if you're getting salad and breadsticks. We ordered a dessert that was amazing (tiramasu). Bottom line...I will order the Chicken Gnocchi soup and salad. 3 lunches and desserts cost $103! Not worth it

    Black Man who meet us was so terrible pasta was tasty soup not so much

  • 4/5 Aaron I. 10 months ago on Google
    Sierra our server was FANTASTIC. Very attentive and fast. Her recommendations were honest and good. 10 stars to Sierra. 2-3 stars for the food. Reason is that is was SOOO oily and greasy. Americas oil crisis could be solved with my dish. It tasted mostly good only complaint is the amount of grease pooling on the dish

    We love this place but the average price for a meal has gone up about $4. Is pretty much impossible to eat for under 22-$25 a person now. We definitely will not eat here as often.

    We had dinner at this Olive Garden on a Saturday night in June, 2023. It was the night before fathers day and was pretty busy. We had to wait a half hour to get a table. Then when we were seated, it. was at least fifteen minutes before we had any contact with the Olive Garden staff. But then our server visited us. Me were able to give her our whole order since we had plenty of time to decide. We actually knew what we were ordering before we were seated. But we ordered and were able to speak with our server. Her name was Payton. She was a delightful person to speak with. She was excellent as a server. So maybe a slow start. But Payton made our dinner very nice. I will point out as it was well after eight PM. The crowd had began to diminish and there were more and more tables available. That also contributed to the calmer and quieter environment. It also allowed our server to be more attentive to the tables she did have. Our food was pretty good in typical Olive Garden fashion. Nit the best food you ever had. But constantly decent. We finished our meal and went on our way. The predictable holiday weekend slow start was finished off by a very nice ending. So our meal was a good experience. We even met other great folks while waiting to be seated. We more than likely will never be back to this Olive Garden since we were only an overnight while passing through. But if in the area, I would stop in again.

    It had been quite a while since I had been to the Olive Garden. I had the Lazagna, with Caesars salad, which of course included their Amazing, all you can eat garlic bread! Everything was great and the staff were very friendly. We had a new waiter that was being trained, and there were a couple of very minor bumps, but overall, he did a wonderful job and had a great attitude and good sense of humor!

  • 1/5 Kolby L. 1 year ago on Google
    I can't comment on the food or the service because my friends and I (a party of 4) waited for an hour. When we went to check on our table, they very clearly didn't have our names down and they told us it would be another 30 minutes. There were people who came in after us that got seated before us. We left as we could not sit for another 30 minutes not knowing if they would actually give us a table. I'm sure the wait staff is amazing but unfortunately due to the hosts we did not get to experience it.

    I went to lunch with my daughter and her boyfriend. We have all you can eat soup and salad and my daughter's boyfriend had chicken fettuccine. It was a enjoyable afternoon. A wet cold raining winter's day. The soup warmed us up and our server was very nice and make sure that we were well taken care of.

    The Alfredo sauce was not creamy, I took two bites it was sour. Looks like throw up!! The worst ever I hope I didn't get food poisoning!! Husband had the meatballs they cold and bland. The worst ever!!

  • 4/5 Scott B. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was great and our server offered suggestions that were spot on for customizing our lunch. The price was right in line for this type of venue. The only drawback was they are so short staffed. With half of the restaurant empty we still had a 10 minute wait to be seated. The food arrived promptly and was hot. It was served expertly with all the pomp associated with Olive Garden. Only the wait time to sit was obvious of their staffing woes. Also, they do not offer a military or senior citizen discount.

    1st time here. The person who sat us down 1st thing she did was show us how to pay on the little thing at table even before we ordered anything. Then said well your waitress will show you. They should wait til a person is ready to pay it was unprofessional! Some food good some bad (just different tastes) but our waitress was AMAZING and so sweet!

    We had a wonderful anniversary celebration recently. Our server Maria T was great as she visited with us a bit on how we made 48 yrs together. A terrific meal as usual with great service. Thank you to Maria.

    I got the spaghetti with meat sauce and it did not disappoint. Spaghetti is one of those things that is SO simple to make, yet, not everyone can get it right. Either the noodles aren't cooked enough or the sauce has too much or not enough of something or sometimes the sauce is just plain boring or tastes like they took tomatoes & just pureed them and called it marinara. That's not the case with Olive Garden. Everything was delicious. Our waitress was friendly & our service was fast
