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.

DO NOT STOP HERE!!! Very unsafe place to eat. Our car was broken into on a Friday night park in front of the restaurant, another customer noticed and notified the manager and he did nothing. We noticed once we left and we called the police. This is a regular occurrence at this restaurant. 5 cars were broken into the Friday before. The restaurant does not care, they claim it is a public parking lot and they accept no responsibility. You eat here at your own risk. I served this county for 22 years and they could care less about your or my safety!!

The hostess was nice and wasted no time seating us. Our waitress was also nice but did just enough to say she actually waited on you. The food all seemed to salty . The breadsticks too salty, the soup too salty and my entree was salty and not very memorable. I guess typical of this type of family oriented chain restaurant

I love eating here I just wish they would fix the urine smell I have been smelling for over 4 years in the front entrance way. My server today was on top of things and she was attentive and very professional. Clarissa made sure that my friend and I had the best experience and she was so pleasant to talk to.

She took care of an incident that my friend had with her salad right away and offered a desert and we were both very pleased. My other concern is the portion in the food I had the chicken mushroom marsala and it had only one mushroom in it. Clarissa had them make me more mushrooms and they were delicious!!! I tried calling the olive garden location and was put on hold for over 10min when I was needing to speak to a manager about my experience today. I finally hung up for that was unprofessional to have me or anyone waiting in that length of time. I was hoping Darnell the Gm would be there he would've taken care of the situation right a way. Over all very great service and okay on the food... marsala would've been perfect if I didn't have to wait on the mushrooms.

EXCELLENT FOOD

Can't go wrong with any of the selections. Every dish I have had met or exceeded my expectation. And the wine list is not bad at all.
