Re: I've HAD it with Olive Garden!!
I have not been in an Olive Garden in a few years. We have a number of "GOOD" restaurants in our area.

Re: I've HAD it with Olive Garden!!
wow. I have never had anything like that happen in my life... and for it to happen so many times is beyond crazy.

Re: I've HAD it with Olive Garden!!
Darden Restaurants are all the Same, Poor food, long waits, and pushy staff, I have been in the business for over 15 years at a Family owned Rest. and I'm hear to tell you chains are all the same. Prefab food for the Friday night crowed support your local family owned business.

Re: I've HAD it with Olive Garden!!
Olive Garden is involved in a Class Action Lawsuit with their employees over improper wages. The Florence, AL store is on the 'Rescue' list according to a former manager from Birmingham. This means that they will employ every means possible to regroup the place or close it. I haven't eaten in our local location since last year and have no plans to return.
Corporate has been contacted. Interesting to see what their response is. Probably more :bs |
Re: I've HAD it with Olive Garden!!
Probably would have had a lot more luck complaining/documenting at the time of the incident?

Re: I've HAD it with Olive Garden!!
What did the restaurant manager say after you showed him the items in Case #1? :sh

Re: I've HAD it with Olive Garden!!
The problem with Olive Garden and restaurants like it is cheap food, low paid cooks...they never care. It's a safe bet that buying nice food at the store and cooking it yourself is the way to go. Or eat out occasionally at a nice steak house. I've pretty much given up out food. I use to do it all the time but frankly I've been so unimpressed with everywhere I've gone to in the past 6-12 months.
Went to a Lenny's sub shop maybe a week ago and I swear there was probably 4-6oz's of meat in the subs, my cat could have ate 2 of them. |

I love Outback. Nothing but good experiences in Chicagoland, Louisville, Indiana and more.

Olive Garden to an Italian (me) sucks. I make my own homemade pasta. Best Italian restaurant for me is my kitchen. Clayton, you should really talk with a regional manager (or higher) about this. Eating out is expensive enough without having to deal with this bullsh!t. Sorry it happened to you.

Re: I've HAD it with Olive Garden!!
Doesn't surprise me - the chains seem to have most of their food pre-made in a factory (pre-washed lettuce, pre-cooked pasta, pre-boiled eggs, etc) so the debris could have come from anywhere.
One time at a large chain synonymous with a pepper, I had a salad and when I was about 3/4 done, I saw what appeared to be a large piece of wilted lettuce. Upon closer inspection, it was a large tropical dragonfly. The manager explained that all of their veggies are "pre-washed" somewhere else and these things happen. She did comp the meal, but it was a little too late... |
Re: I've HAD it with Olive Garden!!
I can cook, and I still hit the Outback occassionally. :)

There's a strip club locally that has a lunch buffet. Never been, but the food has to be good, right? I know the cook has to wash his hands, it's code. :hm
