    One of my favorite restaurants to dine in at. The breadsticks here were amazing and my waitress was very nice. The chicken parmigiana tasted very fresh and crispy. I could come here everyday and be happy to try a new dish each time. Great food and drinks.

    Stopped in for lunch, requested outside seating. They quickly made the table available. Claudia was our server and made things easy. Pictured below: lasagna fritta & Peach Bellini

    No idea how the food tasted because after the hostess seated us, no server ever came to the table! They have electronic menu for appetizers and drinks, but we were in a hurry and just wanted meals, so I clicked the button to call a server and waited about 20 mins. No one offered us water or anything. Then I made contact with the hostess and asked her to get a waiter, she said she would. So again we waited about 10 more mins. Then two ladies that were seated next to us got a waiter right away, they didn’t even have time to look at the menu…at that point we walked out. Someone there doesn’t have a clue how to run a business. It was a terrible waste of time! Oh and I should mention this was 7pm on a Wednesday night and the place was near empty… just don’t waste your time.

    The restaurant was very clean and the food was great. I was a bit disappointed with the attitude of the staff though. There was only a few other people in the restaurant but our waiter seemed impatient. If I came back, it would be for the food.

    Food was superb! Rolls were nice and hot, buttery and garlic bursting flavor. Not dry at all. Entree was hot and delicious! Salad was yummy too 😋

    I didn't used to come here often but I've been coming more and more. Serve staff is friendly. Food is decent, sometimes hit or miss. The trio is not very tasty but the chicken and shrimp carbonara is sooo delicious. The their zappa soup is also amazing, with the kale sausage and potatoes. I always get it.

    Plates were wet and cutlery was dirty. we asked for a new one but it was still dirty but they brought us hot water and told us to wipe it. If I couldn't get service, I would cook at home anyway. The food was delicious, but after what I saw, I thought a lot about the cleanliness in the kitchen.

    One of my favorite locations. Not usually overcrowded, and friendly service. Went to celebrate a family birthday recently and ordered a margarita. It came with orange juice (I'm allergic), so I asked for one without and was told ALL their margaritas have orange juice🤔 I've hade them without it here before (just take it out). I didn't get to drink, but otherwise a pleasant meal.

    Over all I had a great Togo experience. I stared with the lunch special fettuccine Alfredo with a salad, and had calamari on the side. The employees were very friendly and provided me good service. The food was great. I had to wait about 15 minutes which wasn’t bad. I wolfed the Alfredo with one bread stick and a a couple pieces of calamari and had to save the rest.

    This place typically has a long wait for good reason, this is one of the best places to eat and have an Olive Garden experience. Plus, have you met Tito? You should meet Tito. He made my friend's and I experience out of this world. Plus, he gave us mints at the end which are pretty rare! The soup, Alfredo sauce, and breadsticks were fresh. Worth it! And, we will be returning.

    I previously made orders online to Olive Garden but not this location. When I made the order it said that I would pay when I pick it up. I pull up to the pickup area called the number, and a worker said they will right out with my order. After about 15 minutes, I went inside to see what's going on. A worker looked up my order and it wasn't even in the system! . I had to order there and wait and additional 20 minutes. I requested no Italian dressing (I'm vegan) and to replace with oil/vinegar. Well after 20 minutes the worker said they don't have any oil or vinegar "do you want the Italian dressing instead? ". You idiot I told in the first place I didn't want the Italian dressing. Well I get home and realize I ordered 3 salads and they only gave me 2 salads!! . BTW they still gave me the Italian Dressing. If I go back, I just won't tip at all to make up for the salad that they never gave me.

    Food was great as always. The server was good but the poor thing was too busy to notice that we sat down. Then the food seemed to take longer than other locations. We did have a 30min wait to be seated. But when sat down the place didn't seem all that busy. So, 3 out of 5 stars from me today.

    From the minute you walk in the door and the aroma hits your nose. The unlimited salad and bread sticks start you off so good. We ordered the calamari as an appetizer and had the tour of Italy and the shrimp and chicken carbanera. Everything was so delicious and we added plenty of cheese, like the commerical

    I tried this OG again. I guess this time I picked something on the menu that actually have taste or they're doing something differently. This was really good. The drink was best 🍹

    I got the tour of italy. Alfredo is a bit too heavy / thick for me. Soup is meh. The kids loved their spaghetti and chicken tenders. I still prefer bella Italia in Arnold.

    Went with 11 of us to celebrate my mom's birthday took about 30 minutes to be seated but understandable cause they don't take reservations. Once seated after about 10 minutes we had the best 2 waitresses you could have asked for.

  • 4/5 William M. 11 months ago on Google
    Appetizers and entrées were all delicious with good portions. Our server was pretty good, but it took a bit of time before she arrived at our table. It would have also been nice if she had come past a little more often. Overall, a very decent dining experience

    This was my first time dinning at the Olive Garden. I was not expecting to enjoy the food as much as I did. The food was delicious! I am definitely going back. Our waitress was good but she could really learn a think or two about great customer service. Their soups and salad is all you can eat so I wanted to take a bowl of the Gnooki soup home, she said that she would have to charge me for another soup. Isn't that ridiculous? Besides that, everything was amazing!

    Service was excellent, friendly, fast and thorough. Food was delish, hot and plentiful. Ambience was that of comfort, cleanliness and just the right amount deco to let you know you are in an Italian restaurant, without over doing it. I already loved Olive Garden, but this particular branch rekindled my passion.

  • 1/5 She B. 1 year ago on Google
    Although the food and atmosphere were amazing our party waited almost an hour and a half for seating. No one came to explain the wait or anything. The staff was pretty nonchalant about things and really didn't care that 12 people were standing around waiting. Parties the same size as ours was seated before us and we were there longer. The Manger was absolutely NO HELP!!

    This place is overall a good place but today they made me upset. I ordered 80 dollars worth of food and one of the items included their Italian Donuts. 1 order is supposed to come w 2 sauces of your choice (chocolate sauce or raspberry I believe) . Why did I come home to two sauces (one in each container) NOT even HALF filled up … talk about a scam. Whoever in the kitchen pouring sauces needs some assistance. Went back and told the manager and he was really nice, will be coming back as long as they don’t scam me again… moral of the story CHECK YOUR BAG (even tho you shouldn’t have to) BEFORE YOU LEAVE THE RESTAURANT.

    Waiter ( Chris ) was exceptional. I didn't even have to ask for more drinks and he already had them coming to the table. Also put up with my senior company very well (( more napkins, water with lemon wedges on the side, not in the water )). Overall lovely meal. Chris will put cheese on anything, just ask him

    Went here this afternoon with a friend. The restaurant appeared clean and had a welcoming vibe when you walked in the door. Waiter was a young female who was friendly and attentive. Problem though….our food appetizers and main dishes had been sitting and were room temperature. The restaurant was not busy and even if it was what makes these so called cooks think someone wants dam near cold food? Where is the oversight? Nothing is perfect but I shouldn’t have to send a plate back because it’s not hot (fresh).

    To be honest, OG hasn't gotten better with age. Worse, actually! My last experience in Tysons Corner was unpleasant. My visit for dinner with friends was even less. The server messed up one of my dining partners order, which was returned to the kitchen. I ordered the soup and salad, expecting to get my own salad, but the server merely brought a large bowl of chopped up iceberg lettuce with a few slices of tomato and onion and a half inch handful of olives and pepperoncini.Oh, and some crusty, not very flavorful croutons. If there were any other ingredients, such as sweet pepper, cucumber, carrots, broccoli, they were invisible. The salad was predressed, barely, and entirely boring. The soup was somewhat enjoyable to. The Tuscan with spicy sausage was tasty with too many potatoes in place of enough sausage, and the minestrone had much, much, too much pasta. My fellow diners had a gift card, but no one would take the time or effort to help him use it at the tabletop "kiosk," so he ended up paying by credit card. I hope his trip was as little as the service. I realize covid times make it tough, OG, but you should at least try. It was over 20 years since my last visit. I can wait another 20 before returning.

    Service was nice, place was clean, and drinks were surprisingly tastefully.
