Reviews for Olive Garden Italian Restaurant in Springfield, IL

I came to Olive Garden for the first time in 10 years. It was amazing. The service was good and the food was good. I had the... shrimp alfredo. Also the salad and breadsticks were delicious. This was a good experience for not having been here for manyyears. Read more

Food was not quite as flavorful as it usually is, portion was smaller, however the chicken in the dish was plentiful (can't... remember the name but it was in a creamy garlic sauce). They were busy so service was slow and not quite the level it usuallyis. I like Olive garden and will return but I was a bit disappointed in this isit. Read more

Delicious food and great service. This location did a great job even with being noticeably short-staffed. No long waits for... seating or food, even with every table being continuously filled. Read more

My daughter and her family took me and my husband out to eat for my birthday. The waiter was awful. He took forever getting our... two drinks while waiting for my daughter. When she got there he took there order for drinks and same thing we waited. He tookour order and we received the salad and bread sticks. Not once did he come back for refills on drinks salad or bread sticks.Three groups came after us and ate and left and we still didn't get our food. We had to ask another waiter for refills. Theother waiter and waitresses we're busy waiting on tables. After a hour and 25 minutes we left. He than came and said oh yourfood is ready what's up. He never said if there was a problem or apologized for delay. I was very disappointed with itespecially on my birthday.???? Read more

The reviews over hype this place. Don't get me wrong there are good things about this place however, there are some important... cons. Anywho let's start with the pros. Pro: Excellent service/attentive/caring/informative The bread sticks/appetizers arereally good! Bathrooms relatively clean/Lobby/dining areas are also clean. The wait time was decent for my recent experience forthe seating. Sauces was delicious! To go boxes sturdy Our waiter gave us extra chocolate which was really sweet of them. Iforgot their name but they deserve a raise. They were new and stressed but they seem to handle such a stressful job very well.Thank you ???? Parking is good though and it seems wheel chair accessible. Cons: Tables seated for three are a little toosmall. No arm room and it just felt way too crowded. I got marinara and noodles. They were so bland and tasted like water. Icouldn't finish the meal so I just kept eating the bread sticks. I'm disappointed since we had a long wait time for thefood. The price was not worth it for the quality of what I got. Last time I was here, I had an 4+ hour wait time. We didn't endup eating there but I wanted to mention that. I know there's more pros than cons, however in my opinion the weight of the consoutweigh the pros unfortunately. Now I would not say it's a terrible place to go, I would just have to say that it's over allokay. I personally wouldn't go unless it's just for the bread sticks. Read more

I went here this year for my birthday and the staff was so friendly!! The food was spectacular and I would love to visit again.... They had treated me and my friends like we were all good buddies! They had recommended the best food and it was superb! Read more
