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.

The absolute worst! The service sucked, the food sucked. I tried talking to the manager David who could care less. An off-duty server sat a booth and changed her baby's diaper on the table. I had to remind our server to bring the water we ordered. I had to ask for my son's breadsticks that were hard on the ends. Then he was quick to NOT SHOW ME the bill because he charged me the $4+ for the spoonful of salad I ate from my son's salad while waiting for my appetizer. The people around me were not satisfied with the taste of the food. I will never spend another penny at this restaurant! Totally disappointed with the stuffed mushrooms! This was a Birthday Lunch that I was a total waste of $20 and I would not recommend.

Disappointed

Was in the mood one night for sphagetti and meatballs and was sorely disappointed by the food. Meatballs were huge and bland. The bread has always been olive gardens greatest feature, buy it seems they just didn't care about the menu on this night. The food was awful for the price!

I would give 0 if app allowed

Terrible service!!! The place was not crowded but after waiting over an hour the food never came out. To top it off they charged for our drinks! Epic fail.

The food is good, but it is so difficult to get it that we don't go anymore...time to build another one.
