Well, it is a chain, and it is Olive Garden.....
But I am a little impartial to Olive Garden. I loveeeeeeee pasta, peach tea, and everything that wants to make me FAT! The food is always good, and I have never had a bad server! The staff is always friendly when you come in, and the place is consistantly clean. On the weekends this place STILL gets packed, so beware on a Friday or Saturday night. -

I ordered the Parmesan Crusted Bistecca. I was very disappointed in the food. The service was great and the restaurant was clean...but back to the food. The steak was dry and bland. The mashed potatoes were bland as well, shoot, they were pretty dry too. Alas the asparagus. WTF, how did these get screwed up to!? They looked great but they were dry and boring. Overall, not a good meal.

Generally Olive Garden is solid but my last experience here was lackluster. The waiter messed up the kids orders, my steak wasn't cooked properly, and the portion sizes seemed small. For the price, I expect better.

Not what I'd call Italian food. More like Industrialian. The place is clean and the service is prompt. It seems there's an atmosphere of fear among the servers so, you can always get free stuff by complaining.

So I'm down in Hollywood, MD looking for a place to eat and low and behold.... Olive Garden. Its been there for a while and I eaten at one , so there hasn't been much of a change except...
This Olive Garden is about as good as it gets, in terms of 'Customer Service'. The staff is always polite, the restaurant is clean and the food seems to be fresh and served relatively quickly and the restaurant is a nice change way down there in St. Mary's County. Majority of what they have are burger spots, so to have some semi-authentic italian, its a nice change of pace.
So if your down there, go on in and have a bite to eat because where your there, your family... or something like that! -

I mean, it's Olive Garden.
The food is frozen, then re-heated. The sauces are thin, garlic is added in large doses, and pasta dishes with meat skimp on the meat. If the entire restaurant is mostly empty, you end up sitting near a server's station, screaming kids, or a bathroom. The alcohol selection is pedestrian, they ration out the breadsticks like you're in a POW camp, and it's always interesting taking bets on when your server will appear to refill your glasses.
Good coffee, though. -

I think we can all agree the Olive Garden has the best breadsticks. I also love the family style salad they put on the table in the big bowl. It's a nice touch. The staff was very friendly too. The entrees were forgettable. I got the Chicken Parmesan. I found the fried chicken to be average and the sauce was ok. It came with a side of spaghetti. You'd think they'd have the spaghetti down to a science. Well, sadly they don't. They were super chincy with the sauce on everything. Admittedly, I like a lot of sauce so it's a personal preference, but it still seemed weak. When I finished eating, there was no sauce anywhere to be seen and I didn't even do any extra dipping with those delicious breadsticks. If you're jonesing for an Italian fix while in Southern Maryland, go ahead and stop in. It'll at least scratch the Italian itch, but if you are a foodie or just an Italian snob, don't bother.
