Not a fan of this location. I would give it a 0 if I could. Seems like some people there think its okay to talk about their customers when they walk away, learn to whisper if thats the case. I could be wrong but seeing how it was completely dead with nobody else in there and turning around to make sure it wasnt about me, I have the person breaking their neck to look at me walking. If Im wrong, it was definitely about someone in that place so maybe you should learn how to be professional considering youre about 60 years old and a host at Olive Garden. Wish I could be you sitting down gossiping at 60 working at Olive Garden :)

The worst Olive Garden Ive ever been to. We were served grated parmesan cheese in a bowl which I dont even know where that bowl came from. It could have been sitting in the back for hours for all I know. Oh but check this another family next to us ordered their food and I waited to see if our waitress would freshly grated their cheese. Guess what, She sure did. I was livid. Her attitude sucked. Very unprofessional. I will never go here again. Thats not the first time she served us either. Ive come here a few times and she was our waitress once before. I tried to give her the benefit of the doubt. But nope shes just not nice.

My entree came with mushroom risotto. I got a dish of white rice and the server telling me that was risotto. I told him it was white rice. So then another server came by and said risotto is just rice with the gravy poured on top! So he brings me a dish of what looked like brown liquid or gravy from a jar. I guess I was supposed to pour this over the white rice. I have NEVER seen or eaten risotto like this. I was served white rice with brown liquid on the side. Pathetic.

Nice place and atmosphere, however very expensive...1 piece of cake cost around 7.50 cents . 1 pasta dinner was 15.00 and Overall the food quality is descent. Your pretty much eating pasta and pasta is cheap. The salad is mostly lettuce and they give you couple small tomatoes and 1 olive for a large salad. For 2 people it came out two 60.00 for 1 large salad, 2 drinks , 3 pieces of cake and 2 meals. . I still prefer buffets where its all you can eat for 13.00

I purposely dressed down to see if I would be treated any different from others And yes I was My waitress treated us as if it was a effect to take our order The 3 ladies sitting behind me dressed in nice office appeal was treated like they were Queens I could not even get dressing for my salad My waitress conveniently kept forgetting it.I would rate this only 2 stars

The breadsticks, salad, and appetizers were very good. Waited 15 minutes for a waiter to stop by and say, "Hi, how are you?" Took 8 minutes to get water and an ice tea... Service is poor. Over an hour to be served water, ice tea, salad, and appetizers! Did not order an entree... Drank first glass of water and then it took almost 15 minutes to get a refill

If I was reviewing the food and staff, I would defiantly give a 5. However the line to get in on weekends usually ranges from 45 minutes to 2 and a half hours. They start you off with a amazing salad with Italian dressing and hot, soft breedsticks. Good vegetarian options and some of the pastas are very nice.

Great food but NEVER ORDER TO TAKE OUT ON A FRIDAY NIGHT. I sat there at 635 pm and placed the order. I got my food at 7:50. An HOUR AND CHANGE WAITING FOR "TO GO FOOD" . YOU DONT TAKE PPLS MONEY AND KEEP MAKE THEM WAIT THAT LONG. They wont make money from me again! They should have negative stars!

Most establishments would be flustered if a party of 17 showed up (including 7 boisterous kids) on a Saturday night. The staff at this location did an excellent job of not losing their cool and providing polite, friendly service ... and the food was good too! Nice going.

This review is by a vegetarian so it doesnt apply to omnivores. Two main gripes are the salty breadsticks and the long wait times. Apparently its popular but I always found the food to be quite average. The only thing I enjoy here is the salad - which is quite good.

I like this place the food was great and the servers did a great job. Everything was great until i went to the bathroom. I know we live in a world of savages but we need some bathroom upkeep please. This would have been a 5 star had the bathroom been clean.

Enjoyable dining experience. Great food n spirits. Reason not a five i was unaware my main course was a bit spicy hot. Which i have a hard time with cause of health issues. Thumbs up. Cant wait to come back!!!! Will eventually try the whole menu. God willing.

Its a good Oliver Garden... For an Oliver Garden. No matter how great Italian restaurants there are in NJ, there is always a place for this chain. Its not my first choice, but sometimes you just gotta have a unlimited bread sticks and salad bar.

The restaurant is ok , but the take-out option is just awful! They forgot to put a side of fries in the kids meal and the pasta was soooo dry ! Very little sauce on top and not mixed like in the restaurant . I will not order online again !

Soup, salad and breadsticks...unlimited! So yummy and inexpensive. Love the Zuppa Toscana - kale, potatoes and sausage with a little zip. Very friendly and attentive wait staff here in the East Brunswick location.

The server a ( male) was great but as always the portions are small. Hurrah for the salads and bread otherwise I would go home hungry. That is why I dont visit too often. That said the food is great.

Great food, people say its not "authentic" but I found it to be just fine. It was Italian enough for me. Its a bit pricey, but if youre looking for a good time, its a great place. I love the bread...

I LOVE the ravioli, and its cool how they sing happy birthday for you. the Alfredo rocks, too. I always end up finishing my parents dishes because they cant take all that cheese, but I can. Loved it!
