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.

This place can be hit or miss....

This place can be hit or miss. I really think it all depends on your server and the time you go. Went there a few times, 2/3 it was okay. Went there during a dinner rush and the food came out burnt to a crisp black, and the pasta was clearly under a warming station for quite some time because it was dried and hard as a rock, sent the food back and refused to have them remake it. The other two times I've gone it has been okay -typical food chain quality.

Veterans Day

My wife took me here for dinner on Vererans Day. I am a disabled Vet and knew that my meal would be free. The waiter was very gracious and thanked me often for my service. At the conclusion of the meal which was great the manager came to our table with a hand written thank you card from a student at a local school and a $10 off coupon for my next visit. I encourage all to support this restaurant. This is real customer service.

Excellent food and service!

Great location and great food! Even their takeout service is excellent. The portions are the same as if you dined in for their sit down service and you won't be dissapointed with the salad. It was huge and amazingly fresh! It came with all the things on the side that we know and love from Olive Garden, the garlic bread, the endless salad right down to the parmesan cheese. I would recommend the sit down dinner or the take out. If you want something fast but not fast food for you or your family.....this is the place to order a hearty meal 2 go and it won't break your pockets. Plus you may have leftovers for the next day.
