Olive Garden Italian Restaurant in other cities:
Comments (199)
Next best thing to a nice cafe in Alvin without driving to the city. I just had desert with a nice cappuccino.it was pleasant quiet and nice atmosphere with my waitress (Angie)who was quite helpful and tentative to me .I would recommend solo, couple or family.
We visited Alvins Olive Garden today for my daughters 18th birthday. Excellent food and I was pleasantly surprised to see that the quality standards are high at this location. I enjoyed soup and salad. The chicken gnocchi was full of chicken and so creamy. Very clean and relaxing atmosphere.
Food was fine. Typical olive garden menu and quality. Understaffed so a bit slow to get a seat. Our server was great.
This is our preferred Olive Garden. As usual, everything was very good. The only reason I gave a 4 star rating is because our waitress would go MIA for long periods of time and my husband needed refills. She never asked if we would like more salad. We learned if we needed anything, we better ask while she was at our table because we knew she wouldnt be back for a while. I understand it was busy but I noticed the waiter for the table next to us checked on them at least every 5- 10 minutes and that left me wondering what happened to our waitress. We ordered the chocolate brownie lasagna for dessert and I must say it was delicious. Overall it was a pretty good experience.
All you can eat bread sticks and salad. You can get full for less than most restaurants. This one is a classic and no brainer if your considering going
Out pf honey, out of strawberry lemonade, out of brown sugar, if the waitress wasnt polite i would have left. Food was good. The bread was awesome. Check out their new menu.
Food was great. Service was on point. My life loves the soup and salad, so we go here for lunch from time to time. Peach yea is good, too.
The waiter Jake was awesome. We couldnt have asked for better service.
Great lunch, Never ending chicken & gnocchi soup was outstanding !! Yummy bread sticks as always. If you go away hungry, its your own fault
So want to give them 4 or 5 but it took forever to get our drinks, appetizer and our actual dinner. Our server was super nice and apologized for the wait and when we did get dinner it was great, maybe it was just an off kilter day, will be going back again sometime.
Food was great but they ate not very happy to serve 7 people at the front the waiter was much better this time!! Last time the waiter wasnt happy happy about serving our family of 7.
Our favorite Olive Garden near us. Food always very good.
This restaurant has an A rating from the health department! Yeah!We sat in the bar today and Tony did a great job serving us! He even sang happy birthday to my friend when he brought put her strawberry cheesecake!
Just got appetizers for a snack and it was great, service was great, very friendly
One word delicious big props to mr Devon our server. He deserves a raise!!
I love the breadsticks so very much. Their spaghetti with meat sauce and meatballs is always my go-to but everything else Ive tried is always good...especially the desserts. Our waitress was very polite and quite helpful. Definitely recommended.
Horrible service. No one in restaurant but still waitress was MIA. Had to finally ask the hostess for a Togo box just to get out of there.
Great location, food was fresh and friendly staff!!! Quiet and very nice to visit.
Excellent food and a very helpful and friendly staff! The food came out quick and hot, and the waitress was very friendly and quick with service.
Great service, good food, friendly staff
This restaurant is conveniently located near the intersection of Highway 6 and Highway 35 in Alvin, Texas. I enjoyed a very fine lunch meal of spaghetti and Chicken Parmesan here on Veterans Day on the 11th of November. Ms. Didi, the restaurant manager quickly took care of me when I arrived, because I called ahead. Jake was a my server. A big shout out to Didi & Jake for making my time there a wonderful experience.
This is really a good Olive Garden! We ordered from the catering menu. Everything was wrapped up perfectly, the food was hot and extremely fresh! The staff was amazing and very helpful!!!! We will definitely be using this location for now on!!!! 🤗🥳
My waitress was really nice 👌 forgot her name because Im bad with names anyway 😅 had my granddaughter with me shes 3 and she said I like this place. She is picky about what she eats she doesnt like hardly any thing.
Had 2 waitresses, lots of open tables and still couldnt get decent service. Didnt get all of our food. We left without it.
Wonderful service. Food came quickly fresh and hot.
The food was good, the restaurant was clean, and the staff was polite. But there was really nothing about the experience which was exciting or notable.
Ordered catering for 30 people - GM was great and a huge shout out to Lauren - thank you for your attention to detail and making our event a success. Food was delicious and on time - highly recommend these guys for your catering needs!
Have had some rough experiences here but we went here for dinner last night and it was amazing. Great food and good service. Hope it stays this way!
Excellent service. The people try and succeed at doing a great job. The food is well prepared and as good as any Olive Garden, and better than many.
Olive Garden has gone downhill BAD. Breadsticks were cold and hard, obviously left over from lunch and still used. Asked for fresh and got hot but still hard, as if they rewarmed the cold hard breadstick. Drinks ran empty and we had to ask for refills. Steak Alfredo was incredibly bland and steak was tough. Absolutely horrible and will not be returning any time soon. I recommend Gios in Dickinson or Ginas in Friendswood as a more authentic alternative at a better price. Each are only about 15 minutes away.
I hadnt been to an Olive Garden in 6-7 years. I must say I was pleasantly surprised! Very good. Only problem is if you order Fetucini Alfredo off of the lunch menu and you add chicken to it, it makes it a dinner dish instead which is almost $10 more
Placed a large to go order, catering, for 14. They would not allow me the $5 take home because i did not dine in. They were nice about the company policy, but in this case i feel like they could have made an exception. I wont be back anytime soon.
Waitress was rude, food was incredibly lacking, literally didnt get served any drinks until after we had been given our food. Extremely disappointed with the over all service this time around, which is disappointing as Id like to think Ive eaten here enough to be considered a regular. Ill be taking my business elsewhere next time, not even worth the trip.
The service was great! It usually is. I gave 3 stars because the smell in the restaurant was a smell of cleaners. I appreciate a clean place, of course, but it was so strong that I couldnt smell food until they actually put it in front of me on the table. I really enjoy smelling the kitchen when I walk in but, not this time.
Ran away, from home and had a fabulous quiet Italian supper, all by myself. If , you have not run away from home lately, do it. Run away to Olive Garden and peace , great pasta and wine and desert. Best psychiatric you will ever find.!
Great waitress and food. I did have to get replacement tableware as it looked like it didnt get washed or rinsed well( very spotty). Otherwise a 9
Food is never overly fantastic. But good. Service can be slow
Our service was great! We went for a quick lunch and let them know that we were limited on time. They made sure we had everything we needed/wanted very promptly. Food was nice and hot as well!
They close at 10 pm but wont let you order at 9:05pm.... terrible customer service. They lady on the phone stated I could still order at first and then said they were already cleaning up so I could not order, One hour before they close......
The food tasted like it was made the day before and reheated. Very disappointed. Took my mom/friend out to eat for birthdays. My mom asked for butter and it looked like he slap a cup of butter in a bowl didnt even melt it! We let the waiter now there was flys, he just ignore us and the fly landed in my moms unmelted butter! SMH
I waited for my drink 15 minutes then another 15 minutes for. Bread sticks. And salad my main course came about time I was full of salad and bread sticksHad to get a to box to. Take my meal home. Something needs to change.
Wish the menu would go back to normal. Everything on the menu is chicken... YukYes there is meatballs but the steak medallions youll use to serve and I think it was braised in red wine was delicious If yall brought that back my review would be better. Probably a five star
We visited our local olive garden for the first time in several years. The food was amazing and the staff was attentive and on top of cleanliness and current covid mandates. Our waitress Rachel was amazing! Very friendly and accurate with our order!Great experience from start to finish!
We had a party of 22. Great service!
To start, our waiter was a great help and did a great job caring for our needs. As usual the salad and bread sticks were great. When I ordered an old fashioned, I had hoped that they would admit that they didnt have the right ingredients. Even so, the bartender was able to pull together something close. Props. I ordered the Stuffed Chicken Marsala and to be honest, it was pretty terrible. The chicken was very clearly cheap frozen chicken patties that tasted plastic at best. This food was so underwhelming that I have to say I will not be back. Again, the people were great but the food is terrible.
Lettuce was pale, no green in there whatsoever. The tuscana soup was very brothy, no substance in there at all. It also lacked flavor. The bread was hard even when we asked for fresh bread. The service was good.
Tried the new steak alfredo. It was AMAZING!! My server Patrick was incredible. The manager was walking around the restaurant inspecting tables to ensure they were cleaned and sanitized properly. All around outstanding experience!!
Harley and her manager Deedee took very good care of me and my father and even took my food allergies very seriously even though I did not request it. It was very nice to be taken care of and looked out for and did not make me feel like I was being a burden at all. Thank you so much ladies. The food was amazing and whoever was my bartender today made a great drink and was amazing as well.
The food was fantastic as always! We had a coupon and gift card that put up a fight but our server Jasmine was great and got everything working. She also told us about the new Confetti drink so me and my wife both got one and it was fantastic!
I havent been to an Olive Garden in a long time. Although me and my friend visited one today and Alvin Texas. Both of us in our mid-40s but having waited tables during our college Years our experience today was phenomenal! Our waitress was exceptionally nice well-groomed and very polite and very professional. Her name was Jasmine. She greeted our table with a smile delivered all upgrading sales pitches such as offering drinks from the bar appetizers and selective items off the menu that were delicious. To the management at the Olive Garden in Alvin Texas. You have an incredible employee who possesses great leadership and customer service skills that represent your restaurant. I have been a flight attendant for a major airline for 21 years. Being nice to passengers and giving them exceptional customer service is very important! Your employee Jasmine possesses all those attributes. She is a keeper!
Good quiet place to eat. Pasta is decent for a chain location. They are a bit slow on service and they do not take reservations.
Wife and i stopped in for unlimited do and salad. Food was good, server was attentive but not hovering
The food was absolutely delicious. I had what I believe was a new dish called a Pizza Bowl and yes it is as good as it sounds also I had the lasagna chocolate cake which was equally delicious the service was impeccable. There was a tiny racial incident that was maintained and executed perfectly by management and staff I give this place 4 thumbs👍👍👍👍 up I will be returning . I highly recommend this place.
We made the mistake of getting food to go. By the time we got home it just wasn’t as good. I admit, probably five stars if we are on site.. I’ll go back and update if we dine-in!
Service was neither great or horrible. The flies on the other hand , was outright disgusting. So move on to another Garden of Olives without flies! Till next review. Eat safe people.
They provided great service and our waitress was very attentive. I kmownit must have been a very long day for her, but she was awesome and I really appreciated her service.
Service was fast no waiting. Our waiter was prompt and made great recommendations. No more than 10 min and we had our meals for 6. My lobster ravioli with shrimp and scallops was great but only had 3 shrimp. But still good.
Good food and fantastic service. Will definitely be going back.
This is my favorite restaurant in the whole world. I love the food and the waiters/waitresses are very nice. I eat there as soon as I get the chance. Its also in a very reasonable place with good food options around there. Its about 2 minutes away from my house too. The Olive Garden in Alvin, Texas is a very good place to eat. I highly recommend eating there and I know that it will stay this way.- Kellan (9 years old)
The general manager is wonderful. He overheard my request for three vegetables, no pasta or sauces. He volunteered that there was fresh spinach and asparagus in the kitchen. The food was beautiful and well seasoned. No long wait for a special order. Our waitress was attentive and funny. Best OG visit, ever.
Horrible experience!!!! waited forever for server to come around, then it was like you had to beg to get a drink refill. Dont even think of getting more soup. I waited 15 minutes to see if the waiter was going to ask if I need more soup and finally I had to stop him in his tracks and ask for another bowl of soup since everyone at the table was already done eating , and now waiting on me to get done.Just a very bad experience..
Celebrated my birthday with friends and family. Good food, and good service.
Fast and friendly service. And good food too. Had a great waitress.. very prompt with everything we didnt have to ask for refills or for the check and she asked us if we needed to go boxes
The atmosphere was wonderful the waitress was a blast but the food was okay. I am huge fan of Olive Garden however the food was a bit of a let down. Not all the food my family and I ate was bad. Lets just say that the asparagus is suppose to have some meat to them. I would of given a five star but the asparagus was to thin.
Been to Olive Garden a lot but my experience has never been good until I had Sierra has my server. She was fast and super nice! Hope that she is my server next time
We enjoyed ourselves! My husband got the cheese stuffed ravioli with mushroom sauce, I had Tour of Italy, and my kids shared spaghetti and raviolis. Everything was very yummy! The kitchen was very busy, as it was dinner time, but we were happy with the salad and bread sticks until our order was ready. We got a nice Moscato. We also ordered a few of the $5 take-home meals for lunches the next day. Definitely not disappointed! 😁
An inexpensive all you eat salad with bread sticks and a glass of water.
My brother and I just finished eating here and are extremely happy with the service from Jasmine. She was timely, polite and knew the menu well by offering many great suggestions to us. Great job Jasmine!
Staff is what makes this Olive Garden 5 stars. Im bad about remembering the names but they were all nice and attentive.
Tony the bartender super nice, the Italian margaritas delicious
This is my bosses favorite place to eat. I had the pizza bowl and it tasted just as good as it sounds. She had the spaghetti with meat. Unfortunately our visit was almost ruined buy a racist person in the seat behind us. Luckily their waiter in the manager of the restaurant handle them very well they apologize for the rude customer. I was so impressed with the way they handled it and even more impressed with my Pizza Bowl that is my new favorite I ordered the lasagna brownie which was phenomenal.Thanks again to the servers and the management.
Everything was perfect. The waitress was very attentive and sweet. For our first outing since the pandemic it was great. Everyone was taking the safety precautions needed. I liked that! The food was very good👍💖🙏
In Angleton, TX. All Olive Gardens are good, clean and staff was friendly, good service. Got appetizer, Cheese Fritta, wasnt that good, we ate three out of six. I think there was too much oregano. The rest of the meal was good, as usual. Got there late and we were the last ones to leave. I would recommend this restaurant.
This location was an example for all Olive Gardens to follow the food was Top Notch and our waitress Harleys hard work was impeccable
Great service from out server Katy and the food was great as well. Not sure what was going on with the A/C in the restaurant though... but it was hot.
Our server was Zay. He was great! The whole staff greated us. The restaurant was clean. The food soooo good. I ordered shrimp& chicken carbonara. Large portions. I will be back!😄
Free gift card used! It was so worth it. Clean! Rr also with no wet floors for my crutches to slip. Entry staff nice and friendly. Waiter great! Messed up and didnt hear something but 1 minute he was gone and returned with the solution! Food was great! Left full as hail. Easy out through home depot lot to hwy6
Food taste not the best, but place was clean, waitress helpful.
Started coming here because my favorite bar tender transferred here. Pleasantly surprised all around, the place is cleaner, the people are more polite and friendlier all around, and the few members of management that I have met were lovely people. Love you baldy, best bartender and conversation buddy in the usa.Also, r.i.p. silverlake, that place isnt what it used to be.
Service was great . food was excellent. I recommend their lasagna shrimp or chicken alfredo. But not all at the same time. Lol
Impressed with the way everything was taken care of. I wish I could have gotten the ladies name that helped me. I saw her keys on her shoulder with blonde hair and darker roots. She was very professional and handled my order and brung it to my car!!!! The other ladies were cleaning like they should be! Great staff!
Food was good service was awesome
Well went to olive garden to only find out they dont sell spicy shrimp scampi appetizer any more and noone told us till after they brought out some regular shrimp scampi and refused to take it off the bill so we got up and walked out if olive garden dont sell the spicy shrimp scampi well we wint be back thats the only reason we even go there cause that stuff was so good.. so needless to say they ate about 20 bucks. I do not recommend olive garden any more STAY AWAY POOR SERVICE
Great staff, Great food. We were seated immediately and the food was served quickly. I could live on the soup and breadsticks, but I also had fettuccine alfredo, excellent. Id go back if I found myself in Texas again.
Awesome food and service, the sangria was the best as always. Food was on point, our server was courteous and we waited on nothing. Going back
It was one of our favorite until twice of bad service recently. The pasta was dry and seems like they just microwave it. The chicken was hard too. Fries on kids menu was also hard. The amount we paid not worth on that kind of foods. Not going there anymore.
I ordered pickup and the service was extremely fast, but I didnt get dressing with my salad and not one single dumpling in my gnocchi soup! Not 1! Hard to believe but thats what makes the soup. Highly disappointed in the quality.
Time 13 minutes longer than told pick up would be ready, asked for 3 utensils got none, cold salad with Brown lettuce on bottom of one bag with hot food in the middle and cheesecake on top. Alfredo noodles was very dry. Will be looking for another Italian restaurant in the Alvin area for future purchases.
When this Olive Garden first opened.. it was okay. Several times that the service was bad, long waits for food, dirty dishes. I gave up for awhile but I have been again and had a much different experience. Last night (11/10/2016) we went around 615ish they were busy but we didnt have a long wait. Our waitress her name was Angela, was VERY attentive and did a great job , need more waitresses like her. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was pleasant.
Its Olive Garden. Menu is predictable. Service was excellent. Love the bottomless salad and soup. Bread sticks were HOT. Only drawback is the restrooms are in the BACK of the restaurant amid a maiz of tables, customers and servers. Why cant businesses place restrooms near the entrance/exit? May be the one thing that keeps me from going back.
I had a great Waiter this time. My food came out super fast. The bread sticks were fresh. Not always this good. I guess it is all on when you come and who is working. Last time I ate my whole meal with out a drink. Had to get the bus boy to find my server to bring me another drink.
I LOVE the Olive Garden in Alvin. Im disabled and they always go out of their way to make me comfortable. I havent met a waiter/waitress there that hasnt gone well beyond to take care of me. And the management is great. Good food, always fresh... restaurant is always clean. When I want Olive Garden Ill go out of my way to go to that one.
Maybe just try another location. We have been here multiple times and had subpar service. Tonight was the last time I will go to this location. The restaurant was far from busy. The hostess took us to a seat In a section that was full while the rest for the restaurant was empty. I asked for a booth instead of a table. Apparently asking for a preferred table type is not okay at this establishment. We were then taken to a seat in the bar and when my girlfriend got up to use the restroom she saw and over heard the hostess grils talking about us and making rude faces. We immediately got up and left. There is way to many other restaurants that provide great customer service in this area to be treated like this.
I initially meant to post four stars but accidentally posted three. Decided to give all five because this location stands out over the rest due to excellent service and staff. Current GM is as best as they come and it trickles down. Well ran and worth visiting regularly. Work well with schools and involved with the community. Not to mention the best stop for Italian in Alvin area.
Hadnt been to an Olive Garden in quite some time. We quickly remembered why. While our server was terrific, the food was sub par; my six year olds entree wasnt even edible. The calamari was overcooked and bland, the ravioli had flavor thanks to the meat sauce and the fettuccine was almost tasteless. The chicken was overcooked and hard as a rock. The $140 check for terrible food was tough to swallow, but, again, our server was delightful
I had Rachel:) as my hostest, the restaurant wasnt busy maybe one other group of people. The food came to us so fast, it was above all great service.
Rachel was the best waitress I have ever had. Her manager was great too
The Toscana soup I received today was horrible, this is the second time I have experienced this. The first time it happened I ordered a duo so I had something else to eat, this time I ordered only soup and it was watered down again,not the nice creamy broth that I normally enjoy about the soup. I will not be wasting my money at this location anytime soon.
Always wonderful service and delicious food.
Excellent service. Food is always fresh and fabulous and prices are very reasonable for the wide assortment of fine italian entrees and more that they serve. Plenty of room for family gatherings. Never seems to be too packed.
I told the server what I wanted which was different than the traditional way they do it. She pulled it off perfectly. I find most Olive Gardens to be completely accommodating with service at every level of a fine dining experience. Alvin Olive Garden was no different. Simply the BEST!
Is one of the better dining options in Alvin. Still a chain restaurant but very dependable. We visit frequently.
The manager, built like a refrigerator, circled the tables with her hands behind her back like a fifth grade math teacher making sure no one cheats during the STARS exams. Her icy cold stares shot holes through my breadsticks, intimidating our poor squirrel of a waitress. This MANager swam around the entire restaurant like a shark waiting for the chum that was the waitstaff, eventually disappearing into the dark abyss that is the back of Olive Garden. Not much to our surprise, she was dressed like a Karen, which gives us the eternal paradox: “If the manager IS a Karen, who will other Karen’s report to?” AKA Karen-ception, which we did not want to unravel while eating mediocre pasta and not-so-unlimited soups. Two stars is for the buzz cut she gave me with her unrelenting stares.
I love Olive Garden, their salads, spaghetti w/meatballs, rolls n a margarita is all I ask for, very delicious. Love it.
September 6, 20194:45pmVery poor service, below are the facts that just occurred.No greeting from 4 employees upon entering pick up entrance- they did manage to greet the lady before me and gentleman that entered approximately 5 minutes after me. After completing the lady’s transaction no one asked me for my pick up name, instead the male employee answers the phone and takes an order while three female employees chatter amongst themselves. The lady notices their behavior and apologizes as she stepped to my right. 4 employees in my presence and not one provides any assistance whatsoever.After taking the phone order the male employee apologized and finally asked for a pick up name, which he had difficulty finding the order sitting on the stand to his left.I hope management sees this, paying customers should not endure this kind of treatment period.
Great food. Great staff
We had a wonderful experience in this restaurant. We liked the awesome environment and the food. The waiters were very welcoming. I am happy we ultimately managed to visit this restaurant.
Ordered the chicken marsala and the zuchinni noodles chicken plate. The service was quick and friendly. The marsala was very good. The zucchini plate was nearly flavorless. Overall, it was a good experience except my wife wasnt happy with her meal.
Granted, this is a new establishment. But considering the trouble they went through to staff this place, I expected better. The food was on par, with true O.G. style... But the service was severely lacking. I waited twenty minutes for my after dinner drink, and another twenty minutes waiting for the check. While during my serving, the waitress had her a$$ stuck in my face while serving the table next to my wife and I. Add to that, my second Margarita lacked any Tequila (AT ALL)... and for How Much??? I have frequented O.G. many times in my 45 years, and this establishment is by far the worst.... If my next visit is as unpleasant, I will drive the extra mileage to one better suited. $2.00 was all I could muster for a tip.. and guilt was the only reason for that amount of generosity..• • •
Great food n friendly service
Excellent FoodExcellent ServiceCome See Tony the server!!!This guy is simply fantastic!!!🙏🏻😋❤️
Food and waitress was fine. However, when we entered we noticed no tables were cleared. (Many dirty tables) Our table was cleared but a used knife in the booth and one empty wine glass on table and no utensils or salt, pepper, etc. We were told they were extremely crowded earlier and short staffed. We were there for at least an hour and not one table was ever been cleared and I noticed some of the waiters standing around. Why werent they pitching in to help? When we left we counted 13 dirty tables just from our table to the door and pretty sure they were the same ones from an hour earlier. Not a very good first impression.
We dined as a large group and service was admirable. complimentary portions of their house Moscato wine was excellent and food expertly prepared and hot. (all before late 11 pm closing ) good job.
Love it had the tour of Italy, to much food could not finish it. To go baby!!! Selena was our waitress very helpful in helping us with our choices. Had a great experience will be returning,thank you Selena.
They do a amazing job I love this Olive Garden is so clean and fast Oders are always fulfilled and the always make sure the bread is hot and fresh I’m very happy with the catering service despite of what we are all going trough love the Olive Garden team . I highly recommend this location in Alvin the best in Houston in my opinion
I had a nice meal and some to carry home. My drink was well filled and kept that way. I paid more than I intended to but felt like I got my moneys worth. No complaints!
I didnt used to like italian food, but since my hubby has taken me to this one, i love it. Servers are dressed to impress and have manners to back it up. This is one of my favorite places to eat now. :)
The waiter was awesome, and the food not bad, but sad to report I got severe food poisoning after eating the chicken/zucchini dish. The other family members who were with me, but had the lasagne and fettuccine, were fine. Then I read the July 2017 health inspection report on this restaurant and it was scary. Alvins Olive Garden really needs to clean up their act. Food poisoning is no fun! The first time Ive ever had it! I will read health inspection reports from now on before eating out!
Waitress was great. Environment nice. Endless drink soup and salad felt rationed. Would be nice if we could serve ourselves at table.
Food is always good, service is always good, and prices are reasonable. Wait time even when very busy isnt normally that bad, maybe 30 minutes if they are real busy. Nice selctions of appetizers, entrees, desserts, and drinks. Something for everyone.
Wow! Prices have really jumped up. Met a friend. Seating at tables was spaced, and servers wore masks. The food was good, as usual. We paid cash at the table when done.
Tried the lunch special spaghetti and endless salad. It was really good and very reasonable priced. Good service. Going back.
Kaitlyn was an awesome waitress, very nice and sweet. Made it a great time with family for dinner. Thanks so much for your attention to detail and needs. The Wilson and Rivera family.
Just as nice as any other olive garden, along with the service, but they only brought 3 bread sticks for 2 of us, usually where I normally go we get 6, and they did not have any dressing on the salad, Bute into plane lettuce and had to ask for there dressing. (Benefit of the doubt, server could of been new or they just forgot). It can happen. Will I go back. YES !!! , but if the same thing happens again, NO...
Our sever was very polite and upbeat. They sat us right in front of the fireplace which was awesome because we were freezing and it was romantic. Food was delicious as always.
Our server, Viveka, went above and beyond to give us an outstanding dining experience!
It was ok, my eggplant and spaghetti was very bland but the service was great. And the dessert was awesome (according to my guests)
Food was o.k. we saw our waitress 2 times, when she took our order, and when I asked for sales ticket. Really lousy service, she never checked on us. Got the order wrong. How can you not understand spaghetti and meatballs?Thanks for reminding why I wont eat there again.
Probably the best Olive Garden I have been to my server was extremely attentive and the manager Cara came and checked on us the food came out hot and fresh I couldnt have been happier!
Worst customer service I have ever had at a restaurant. Charged us for a salad on the side but only brought one salad in which came with the entree . Melina was our waitress but didn’t attend to us barley at all. We had to ask for refills and all. Very disappointed.
Olive Garden is a great Italian restaurant. I always forget how nice the place is. Great staff food and the $5 take-home extra.
Best place to go to but you better be hungry and the service was excellent
Ordered for 2 , but my order was supposed to be shrimp scampi, but I discovered when my husband brought our takeout home, I had the chicken scampi. It was good but not what I expected or ordered.
Weve always found the food here to be wonderful. We have done both dine in and pick up And you cannot beat their salad dressing. but we do miss their Deep Fried Artichoke Hearts. YUM YUM..we would drive in from Manvel all the time just for them lol GREAT PLACE TO EAT
Much better than our last visit several months ago. We decided to give it another chance. Service was good. Food was good with the exception of the breadsticks. They were tasteless and cold.
Always consistently good food. Great menu with many options at reasonable prices.
2 adults 2 teens we ate under 60.00 food was fresh !
Delicious food, but or waitress did not pay hardly any attention to us and was very slow once we could get her attention
It varies, some times you will get great service, other time you will get sloppy servers. They will just make a mess on the table. I belive presintation said a lot other wise youll lose your appetite and become a dissatisfied customer.
Nice to just down down and eat a lunch. Food is great service is above and beyond
The staff seemed like they were not very interested in being there. Admittedly, we showed up at around 8:30, but they dont close until 11. Maybe it was just an off day. But its not a cheap meal and I was disappointed.
Great service. Waitress was very nice and attentive. Food was great as well.
Seth, our waiter was excellent! Definitely a 180 degree turn from our last experience at this restaurant. Manager there definitely needs to take notice of what a great employee he is.
This was a far better experience, my salad was crisp and not frozen. My pasta was perfect, the chicken un-charred and the waiter we had was awesome; thank you Mike for making this such a wonderful experience.
Soup and sale lunch... yummyOur waitress Taylor was fantastic!
Stopped by here last night to order a chicken alfredo bowl supposed to be 17.43 after handing them my debit card and waiting over 4 minutes for the transactions to clear they informed me they made an error and charged me over 46.84 instead. I have no clue how something so simple could be such a nightmare i have a reciept and proof the money has left my account and still no credit towards my account this is beyond wrong and frustrating. You need to make this right this is not how you run a business period. After almost 5 days they credited me and it all worked out may give this place 1 more chance but not for awhile
Ive been to few Olive Gardens and this is by far the best one. I thought they were all the same but you can definitely taste the difference. Was very happy with this location and I was very surprised it was not packed the time I went. Great food
Me, my grandma and my mom, all ate different things and we all got sick after eating from here Saturday! Be cautious that is the second time my mom has came home sick after eating here in the past two months.Idk what’s wrong with your staff but you guys need to make some changes!
Friendly staff, Quiet place even at lunchtime. Tried to pass off a piadini by putting the scorched side down but were good about replacing it when called on the black charring. Not bad at all, as an overall experience.
Food was not very good, waiter seemed upset because we had water with our meal instead of drinks...
Very good food ! and very friendly waitress ! Food was hot and fresh when they served it definitely will be going back soon !
Food was great, service was better than great! Thank you for honoring all veterans today, the free meal was very appreciated!!!
After several times of going to OG and having not so great service, my husband and i decided to go to dinner and use a gift card we had. Our server was Kandice and she gave us the best service weve had there. She is knowledgable, personable and even though they were very busy, she was fast! Id recommend anyone that goes to OG in Alvin to request to sit in her section and she will definitely take care of you!
Extremely slow. We had soup and salad l, easy right? It took an hour
We had a large group, they served us in good time and handled all the checks well. The drink service was timely. The food was great. No complaints
Our waitress was very sweet and courteous. I try a different dish every time we visit and I have never been disappointed.
Food was great and waiter mr angel was awesome and very friendly. Will definitely return to this location. Best olive garden iv eaten at so far.
The waitress was crazy ... we are pretty sure that she was in something. She spilt tea down my leg and dropped silverware in me as well.
I give 4 stars cause Ive been in better ones... But its not a bad place
Great food and decent service. Suggest better pest control and using blue light fly traps. To many gnats and flies while eating. Not sanitary
THE WORST, most disgusting food ever served in any restaurant in the world.Our server was nice!
Come here often, great service and food every time. Nothing to really complain about.
Food was on par & waiter was excellent! Tuscan soup was really good at this one! Would have been 5 stars on the shrimp on lunch special!
Normally I love Olive Garden, but they were having an off day. Even the cheesecake wasnt really good. Must try a different location.
An excellent Olive Garden. Friendly, helpful staff, tidy environment, music was not too loud. The amaretto tiramisu and limoncello mousse were delicious, and they were very accommodating of our desire to split a Tour of Italy.
The service was excellent as was the food. We got there during lunch hour so the price was right also.
My wife and I visited this location for the first time in a few years. Back then the food was awful. We were surprised that the service and the food had improved.
Its a hit or a miss. Twice now, Ive been seated and no one comes to my table. Chilis next door is where I go when they mess up not telling servers they have a table.
Usually get take out from this place. Service is usually very good, but can leave something to be desired at times. Youll get a good hearty meal, but its a little pricey on some items.
Good food and excellent service. Went a day early for valentines day since bad weather coming in.
Not much on the menu as their used to be. Food was good and our server was super nice and attentive. The restaurant interior needs updated.
Good service. Food was brought out fast and the waitress was attentive.
Food was great, service was great.If you order an appetizer you need to eat it quickly because if not you might just have a table full of foodand nothing to drink.
It was as great as I remembered it. Hadnt been to one in bout 10 years. The atmosphere, employees, and the food was great. The price, you get what you pay and then some...
Wonderful, excellent food and service. Celebrating daughters 16th birthday. Thank you for helping to make it special.
Food was quick and hot, waiter however was inattentive and scatterbrained. My entire party had to ask other waiters for refills after waiting 20+ minutes to even see our own waiter.
Love this place, the food is awesome, staff is great.Great family environment. Very clean. I recommend this place if you like all the above.
Great service but sometimes they forget things on take out
Salad and dressing. Is fantastic.
Love coming here the staff are really helpful on picking food choices its the perfect romantic spot for me and my boyfriend to go and enjoy our alone time
The service was GREAT. The food was ok besides when I got my salad, I had to send my salad bowl back not once but twice due to hair being in the salad bowl. Other wise myain entrée was great
It was wonderful. Staff friendly and efficient. So thankful since we dont have power or water!
Nice and clean, most wait staff is typically not very attentive, and I have to send food back once in a while. Basically like every other Olive garden.
Waiters not too savvy on wine temps. We were served sparkling wine at room temp. Waiter says thats how its supposed to be served. Wrong answer guy... 45° is the correct temp.
Our hostess was great but our waitress was very slow we got seated and waited for almost 15 minutes before she came to ask us if we had drinks which we did not then she said she would be back with the drinks and get our order we ask for breadsticks and sauce we never got the sauce till almost after we got our meal we asked for our check three times before checking out
Food is as expected of the chain but at this particular location, service is really hit or miss. Seems that they are always understaffed even during less crowded times.
They seemed way over priced for the quality. But IDK. I think the chicken they used in the chicke parm came from frozen pre-battered chicken breast.
I liked Olive Garden but lately they have seemed more expensive and the last couple times we barely got any dressing on our salad. Service was okay could have been better.
Ive been 4 times, had 4 different servers and my girl and I enjoyed them all. Very sociable and attentive to our needs.

2022-02-19This is the cleanest restaurant that weve been to in quite a while! The woodwork, bottles, lights, doors, windows, and all of the other decorations were shiny and clean with no dust or greasy buildup anywhere! It was impressive! The food was fresh and delicious 😋 the service was great!

2022-04-13Olive Garden has gone down hill a very long way since I was a child. The price you pay does not reflect the food they serve or even the service one gets. Everything tastes like it was cooked yesterday and reheated in a microwave. If you want good, Italian food go visit Gina’s.

2020-12-17This is by far one of the coziest places to go here in Alvin, they kindly greeted us at the door and we were helped by a nice lady who was a Gem!! She guided us through the menu which has slightly been modified due to covid. We always like eating at Olive garden but this was my first time at this location! Excellent service, the food was great, fresh and served on time. The server constantly checked on us and she made us feel welcome and special.. The music and ambiance contributed to a very enjoyable experience!

2022-05-29Food was terrific, the service could of been better. But i really dont like being too hard on servers. Because i dont know how long they have been working or if they are new to the Job.

2020-01-26Service and food are kind of Hit and Miss. Sometimes are good sometimes are not.Year later and this visit was great. Had two new dishes: chicken margherita and zoota zucchini with chicken. Both were very good. The zoota was kind of watery due to the zucchini noodles and could have used something to thicken the sauce and the vegetables part needed salt to bring out the flavor bit once I salted it it was really good. Also had a combo appetizer of calamari, stuffed mushrooms, and fried mozzarella cheese. The spicy ranch sauce that came with it was really good! Our server was new but did a great job, constantly checking on us and finding answers to questions he didnt know. Needless to say, this visit was really good.

2019-03-16I had lunch with some of my family at this location recently and for the most part if was a good experience.We were seated right away, and our waitress met us promptly. She explained the various specials they were having at the time, and then proceeded to take our drink order. After getting out drinks, we followed the usual process; ordering our food, getting our appetizers and starters, then finishing with our meal. Everything tasted great and it was a large enough portion that I was able to take left overs to dinner that night.The only complaints that I have were the service was a little slow at times and we were seated next to the bar. Normally I wouldn’t mind sitting next to the bar area, but the bartender was doing something behind the bar that was very loud almost to the point where we couldn’t hear each other talk.Other than those aspects the experience was very nice. The restaurant was clean, and everything tasted great. Each time we finished our bread our waitress would bring out a fresh basket of hot bread. This is a great place if you want to nice meal for fairly cheap!
