It was a 25-seat luncheonette in Waycross, Ga., called The Green Frog and promised “Service with a Hop”. He went on to open the first Olive Garden in Orlando, Florida in 1982. Olive Garden continues to be the number one full-service Italian restaurant company in the country with more than 800 restaurants bringing Italian hospitality to hungry people around the world.

I love their minestrone soup and also fettuccine alfredo but don't care for the salad needs more vegetables in it and our choice of salad dressing! I prefer ranch!

Bad Service

On Aug. 8, 2009 we had dinner at Olive Garden 7815 N. Academy and had some of the worst service. The waitress never offered us any wine what so ever, when she placed the bread plates on the table it was as if she really didn't know which side they went on, she never asked if we wanted soup or salad and never offered to refill our salad bowl, while taking another tables order she stopped in the middle to quickly ask us if our meal was right, when she cleared some dirty dishes she tried to take plates that still had food on them without asking if we were finished. We did order a bottle of wine and when she opened it at our table she held the whole thing against her body and hardly took enough of the foil off the top to even pour it. I realize this is not a high class restaurant but I did expect better than that. Our daughter and son in law were with us and they said they had about the same service from this waitress the last time they were there.
