[ARCHIVED THREAD] - OLIVE GARDEN (Page 1 of 2)
|
It isn't likely that a large chain restaurant will have truly authentic [Italian, Mexican, Chinese, etc.] food. I think people get caught up on the un-authenticity of restaurants instead of how the food tastes in general. I really like Olive Garden, but I don't go there when I'm craving traditional Italian food. Just my 2 cents ETA: Chicken Alfredo Pizza!  Mmmmm! |

Went yesterday. I got a nice big Blue Moon on tap, a bowl of pasta, some breadsticks and salad. My Lady, her Sister and I always have a nice time there.  Just out of curiosity which store? We get a lot of WV'ers in the Christiansburg Va store. Ya'll will drive an hour+ to eat there. |

I like Olive Garden food, and I greatly admire their operation. They are by far one of the best, if not the best, restaurant chains in America. Most people have figured out that they can go to any Olive Garden anywhere and have pretty much the same experience for the same price. For people who travel often, that's a huge selling point. ETA: My only criticism is that it's almost always crowded. |

Around here, it's where people who don't know what good, authentic, home made, fresh, Italian food go to eat so that they can feel cultured and fancy. Fuck that place. It's a big shitball restaurant. eta. In my area especially, there is absolutely NO reason to eat at an Olive Garden, ever. There are too many good places to eat around here instead. |

It totally depends on what you get at olive garden. They have really good Fettuccine Alfredo and Cheese Ravioli. I would not eat the Lasagna, spagetti, etc. Breadsticks are usually good. The Pasta e Fagioli soup is good. My wife likes the Zuppa Toscana. Their salad is the bomb when you are craving salad.
