It's fine. I normally don't recommend it, but if someone suggests it I'm not going to fight them over it.

I eat there like ... twice a year maybe? It's not BAD. And it's Darden so I can still pretend I work at another Darden place and get my discount.

Back when I worked for Darden the easiest way to get your discount would be to log in to the payroll site or whatever.

I just saved a screenshot of me logged into the main page of it and I flash it at Darden joints for the discount. I haven't done it in over a year so they may have changed it, but I've done it multiple times for the last handful of years with no issue.

Only been to an Olive Garden once, last year. It's not tasty enough for me. I prefer my local eatery's take on Italian-American cuisine.

I remember trying it for the first time at some point in my 20s, and I remember it being fine but nothing special. The name of the restaurant was always a turn-off for me though. Something about the name "Olive Garden" just never sounded appealing.

I go for lunch for endless soup. I get the Pasta (Redacted) and ask for a bottle of Tabasco to add a few drops to the bowl, and it is usually really good imo.

It's not inedible but it's very much slop Italian. You are almost certainly getting better food from most other Italian joints.

That said, if my friends were like "let's go to Olive Garden" I'm not going to make a fuss. I'll eat some mediocre fettuccine alfredo and way too many breadsticks and be completely okay.

Because the second word has a bad word in it.

I believe its the Italian word for beans.

I went there once with my sister, niece, and my sisters sister in law and one of the plates of food had a twist tie in it.

Basically the food comes in plastic bags precooked and twist tied and is just reheated.

No thanks.

Fuck no. I've hated the place from the time it was created by General Mills.

My father worked for them at the time, so we got to go to their grand opening (as in their grand opening for their first restaurant).

And we had to wait over 2 hours to get our food. which was badly cooked and tasteless.

That was in Orlando, Florida back in 1982.
