I had dinner with my sister and my mom and Lupe was definitely a highlight!! Not only was her service impeccable, but she made all of us feel so welcomed! Absolutely keep her and to know to any management that she was the absolute best!
The food and wine here is fantastic. The hostess and servers have the ability to drive down the mood by treating you as though your presence there is a personal inconvenience. We were seated very rudely with no eye contact and the hostess literally was walking away as she spoke to us so we couldnt hear her. I hope I never make my clients feel that way. The simplest questions are met with nice nasty responses such as an irritated busy parent gives an annoying child.I rarely leave bad reviews but ,I will when necessary. As a Google Map advisor my suggestion to them is treat everyone as though they may review you for Google.The place is clean and romantically lit.The food was prompt and fresh.The Pinot Noir was sweet, buttery and dry.We got endless salad and soup but despite asking the salad was never replaced.The soup flavors were all 👌. We got the layered cheesecake brownie to wrap up the delicious meal. Food is top notch...service needs serious work.Reservations are no longer a thing but you can use the app to see and get on the waiting list..At checkout they have the modern convenient table pay option with the digital pay box.
This place is definitely not the same loud and dingy. Tonight it was so hot and the place had a smell to it and noticed they had a portable AC unit running and the smell from the motor overpowered the meal not to mention after waiting 50 mins to be seated my chicken came out burnt and that killed my taste buds so today I left with a headache from the portable AC motor and my mouth tasting like I chewed a cigarette never again will I come to this place only good thing tonight was our(waitress🌟🌟⭐️⭐️⭐️)
I know its cheesy cuz Im just taking it from the advertisement, but you really do feel like family! Exquisite food that seems more home-cooked with love, served in a simple but elegant atmosphere. Servers are attentive and friendly but not pushy, cant ask for much more than that!
If I could give this place 0 stars! I definitely would! I didn’t like the customer service, food or drinks! Will NEVER RETURN to this place! It’s definitely the WORST PLACE to ever go to! So disappointed I will be telling everyone I know about the horrible experience I had here! Everyone had an attitude walking around that place. I didn’t feel welcomed here at all! On top of all that it took them over an hour to make my food! I will be contacting corporate or higher source.
Good food. Got shrimp scampi, and loved their chicken pumpling soup.
Jacob was our server and he was fantastic! I seriously cannot emphasize how great he was - friendly, thorough, and made sure we were happy. Loved the food, looking forward to my next visit!
Usually love this place, but omg. My wife and I went and had the worst service ever here. To top it off the food was not fresh. Taste like it was made the day before. The plate and food was piping hot dont think well be going back anytime soon.
I was not too pleased with the restaurant and andall Olive gardens are not the same. I did not enjoy my steak along with the pasta sitting in its own juices. Also trying to save money by add water or a different sauce to the A1 bottle was a bad move. The staff was very friendly.
Service was beyond great, we brought our adult special needs son for dinner, and the server was very understanding of some special requests, the food came in a timely manner, and was amazing. My family really enjoyed the night out, we definitely will be back again
Our waitress shelly was the best. So much good food and great service. All the staff were really kind and friendly. Definitely the best location Ive been to.
We had amazing service, both in the bar and when we got to our table. Our servers really made my sons birthday so much fun.
Jasper was our waiter tonight. Did a great job. Kept us laughing all night and we didnt have to wait more than a minute for a refill after finishing food or drinks.
It was really busy. Service was great. There was once where I needed a beverage and it was delayed a bit. The food was delicious. Overall it was fantastic.
This food is frozen in a bag and warmed up, everything is basic. This is a campbells soup type establishment. I gave 3 stars instead of 1 because in case of a zombie apocalypse this would be a good place to get food, full of preservatives and long shelf life.
Best Italian mix food in town by far, service was excellent food is always amazing, if you havent been here yet, there is a reason that with a town and city with hundreds of restaurants this one is always busy, worth the wait.
I would have gave it a five star but our waitress was mean and the soup was cold other than that the food was really great but could of been really nice.Hopefully next is better.
Worst experience ever. Had found a hair on my food and told the waitress about it she brought a new set of bread which she threw onto my table and said something under her breath, when asked for the manager she gave attitude about it. The manager David then came talk to me and said he couldn’t do anything about it but give us a new bread, he did not offer nor try to find a solution to this situation. To add on to my experience several waitresses gathered and were talking very disrespectfully as well and point and staring into my direction
Love the tour of Italy is just a bit pricey now!
I ordered 2 half gallons of soup and breadsticks. I arrived home and the containers were filled with broth and very minimal ingredients. I spoke with the General Manager Bridgette regarding this issue and she said she would replace my order. I was only able to return 1 order because the other was for my elderly parents so she offered me a refund or future replacement. I opted for the future replacement and was given a $20 gift card, which will not cover the soup with taxes and didn’t include my breadsticks. I wasn’t compensated or apologized for having to drive back to Olive Garden, eat dinner later than planned, or the total inconvenience I experienced. Not only am I upset with the inconsideration of the General Manager and extra fuel I used, but my breadsticks weren’t replaced with my soup so I had to eat hot soup with cold breadsticks.
Love the food love the service the atmosphere is good its just it gets really crowded there at all hours.
Was planning on having a Lovely Dinner with My Wife and Daughter Quality of Service was Terrible not to mention All three of us are experiencing symptoms of Food Poisoning try explaining Food poisoning to a 3 year Old. Steer clear if not you have been warned.
Have not been here for a long time. We had a gift card, so we had date night. The bartenders Sara and Bill were awesome! I think they forgot about us, cuz the wait was long. They had the AC full blast, I was actually freezing. The food was mediocre, not very impressed.
Went for my birthday was no wait . All was good except our waitress was rude and acted as if we were keeping her from what she wanted to be doing
Took my husband and I here as a random date and treated ourselves to the less expensive parts of the menu. And dang, it was worth it. The pasta was so good I was full after 4 bites and I had tiramisu for the first time. Definitely a tiramisu fanatic now! Holy smokes, I feel like Paris Hilton after dining here! I gotta start coming around these parts more often, rich people food is amazing!
Our server was Lupe and everything was amazing! We enjoyed ourselves and definitely will be back!
Thank you so much to Ashlyn K. Who made our experience unique!! 🙃 Excellent Service! That girl deserves a raise she is an Excellent waiter she is on it!always checking on us making sure we have what we want and what we need 😍😍 we are definitely going back!! The food was delicious too sorry i almost forgot 😅
Fast and wonderful service, our server Kat was absolutely amazing and kept up with all her tables at the same time. She did a wonderful job; she knew the menu and how to say all the names! If Im back in the area, Im coming back!
I will never understand why people love such terrible quality food.Its not awful food, but you could really get more for your dollar someplace else. If you are a person with bland tastes, and are unadventurous, Olive Garden is for you.
Great food and beard. Nice waiter time was better than some times. 10/10
So disappointed with my dinner today. Ordered the spaghetti with marinara sauce. First it hardly had any sauce so the noodles were dry and the breadsticks were both hard! Had to add my own sauce just to be able to eat it!
During our visit to Bakersfield we search for descent restaurant. After much search we finally found Olive Garden, I signed online to be on the waiting list. Few minutes after our arrival we were sitted. We really enjoyed our time at Olive Garden in Bakersfield. The food was good, and the service was excellent.
Olive Garden is known to be a great place to eat because they do it right from the time you arrive to the time you leave. Patients on your as a customer will go along way to getting you and your party a table for a great dining experience.
Good Italian foods served by fun helpful waitress. Reasonable pricing. Low to moderate noise level enabled nice family visit.
Food was great but our service was terrible waitress constantly rolling her eyes and was rude and accused me of trying to dine n dash for walking to front to pay bill rudest waitress I’ve ever dealt with
Less selection then I remember and I was highly disappointed with the Loaded Pasta Chips (I couldnt eat more than a few bites) and the steak is much smaller than it should be for the price. Additionally, the service was mediocre and nothing looks like the menu. They arent the place they used to be and its a lot nosier than I remember. One positive: the salad and bread sticks were great as always though, have your gold Star. I probably wont be back anytime soon.
Best time to go is soon as they open, this one is off of stockdale highway plenty of seating plenary of parking. Friendly staff. We will definitely be going back
Our waitress was very nice and on point. Food was good. Had Seafood Alfredo and soup. Very satisfied.
Tasty pasta and sirloin steak at good price! Foods served fast and bread before a meal was also properly cooked.
So we love food but they messed up our arrival time and party size we waited too long to be seated they were not to considered after been seated our severes were very accommodating had a good vist after food was good.
This place never disappoints. The classic Italian dishes are consistent. Its not food that your best friends Italian grandmother serves in her kitchen in Piedmont. But its flavorful nonetheless. Great prices with huge portions. Staff is friendly and prompt most of the time, and filled with knowledge of the food.
Food was delicious, waitress was very attentive and polite. Definitely worth the price; cant wait to return.
Always busy but good is great and general dont wait to long for food. Service is great and its always clean
Love Olive Garden but was disappointed on my wait time! I ordered pickup, they told me to be there by 7:05pm and it was 8:00pm before they brought our food out! Food was great,like always! Server was nice and friendly also!
It is really good and the waters are very nice and not rude and they warn you before eating the food sometimes
The food is amazing, the service great, and people are friendly. My wife and I love to come here on our anniversary.
Love the soup and salad for lunch. Great service today.
Food is always fast and service is great. They make you feel welcomed.
Pauline, I think that was her name, was absolutely amazing! Drinks were always full and even with our extra requests at the end of the meal she never forgot anything! Will definitely request her next time!
I dont know why it took me so long to finally eat here, but I had hyped this place up in my mind for so long. I love pasta and Italian inspired dishes. The wait was understandable for being the covid times bit shocked that they dont have more locations. Upon being seated, our server was very nice. Polite and kind.I loved there kids menu book, that was very playful and straight forward. There regular menu was nice. It wasnt overwhelming with dishes and the pricing was explained in the dish itself.I had the chicken Alfredo, the neverending salad and a mango strawberry tea. The salad was a salad, hard to mess that up, so that was good. The first tea was lacking flavor, but it was smooth. The second time it was super flavorful. The pasta was cooked nicely, the sauce was a first for me. It was a nice taste compared to store bought. The chicken was cooked nicely and had a nice sear. However there were some pieces that had no salt and some that where too much salt, so that was a bit off putting. The portion was good and very filling.My kids enjoyed there food, they didnt like the lack of sauce but I explained that its a kids portion.Overall I liked the food and the experience, but Im not rushing to go back just yet.
Ordered two chicken tortellini and was given no chicken on both then I was put on hold then got hung up on. Bad customer service!
Sat down out bar area GREAT service, Efrain was awesome,, one of the best bartender in town handsdown. Great experience would recommend to sit down at bar area for lunch for a quick bite and drink. Efrain, Thank you for a Great experience and service.
Server was very attentive and friendly. Food was great.
The salad never fails but the cooks do. I ordered the tour of Italy noodles where very dry. No Alfredo sauce chicken taste like it was microwaved. I had ordered a side of Fried mozzarella that where very over cooked. I would say dont order to go because its definitely not the same as inside service.
Food is pretty decent, depending on what you order. I particularly like the fettucine alfredo. The food usually comes fairly quickly, and the staff is very nice. Good place to eat at for a special night/occasion.
Have always loved their soup n salad but the soups just are not the same anymore, and the menu items are way too much.
Delicious food. Friendly, attentive staff. No complaints.
Food is pretty good but cant understand the crowds. Over an hour on a weekday. Cant blame them for being popular but many comparable Food options in Bakersfield with more reasonable wait times.
Basic Olive Garden food. Customer service was great! They were really nice and communicated well for the pick up order. We only waited a few minutes before thet came out with our food.
I hadnt been to Olive Garden in over ten years, and now I know for good reason. The only reason to go is for the soup and salads. The rest of the food was was comparable to public school lunches but for 15x the price. So many better local options.
I had a wonderful time for my birthday the food was amazing and Sarah Princess is a great example of how an employee should interact with the guests. Also our Hostes Ivy was curtious and attentive a truly wonderful employee.
Waited over an hour for a table. Bob at the bar was fantastic! Hes a great conversation and a funny guy! Funny seated and service was ok.Food was served unpredictably throughout. Some didnt even get what they ordered. But over all. It was ok!
One of my favorite restaurants to go to in Bakersfield! The endless soup and salad are great and they have a lot to choose from! Great fast service as well.
They have a special All The Soup/ Salad & Bread sticks only $9.99 before 3:00pm Always so fresh
Tried the Chicken Marsala and was very surprised at how good it was. Also had the Tuscan soup. It was hearty and tasty.
Food was great..Service was great..Adam was very good...Attentive..prompt...good job...
Perfect dining, staff is always nice and welcoming. You also get unique dishes that taste amazing here
Our servers were really kind and attentive. The portions are also huge, so my mom and I split the shrimp alfredo. It comes with unlimited salad and breadsticks. Since they knew we were splitting the dish, the food was served already in two plates.
Very fast and quick service I was seated and eating my food within 20 minutes of being there
Horrible. Absolutely horrible all around, right from the start!! Receptionist thought 2 kids plus 2 adults equaled 5 adults for some reason. Then the server brought out some nasty vegetable oil soup when I asked for butter (which made me super sick, which she didnt care about). They also took over 30 minutes to get my bread sticks & soup refill (because they forgot). Not to mention the cooks had to remake a gluten free dish 4 times (I kid you not) because they were completely incompetent & clueless back there. Needless to say, it will most definitely be a VERY long time before I come back here again. I wouldnt recommend this place to anybody anymore.
The service was pretty slow, but the food was fantastic.
Waiter was very attentive and food was great! Even though it was busy, we got our food relatively fast.
The food was good, dissapointed in the setvice although..
We had the Chicken Marsala, Steak and Pasta, Salmon, and Chicken and Pasta.The Chicken Marsala (good flavor)was the best of the bunch but the steak and salmon were also good.It’s been a few years since we have had OG but really glad we went back.
The wait was about 30 to 45mins. But the service was great! For being so busy the staff was friendly and helpful! Food was great and hot! They even sang me my birthday song and gave me a birthday piece of pie!! All smiles for my birthday dinner!
Great food great selection of menu items. The wait staff were very friendly and provided great service. There was a bit of a wait but that is because of the pandemic and The Limited seating capacity that is ordered by the state. Once the order relaxes there wont be such a wait and reservations will be able to be made again.
Great server. Patient, friendly, all around great atmosphere
Two stars because the waitress was really nice. However, I wouldn’t recommend this place. I went to the Olive Garden in Pasadena a few weeks ago and I fell in love with their food, but this location was disappointing. Long wait and it’s not even worthy. The chicken and shrimp carbonara was dry, and the portion too small.
FRED was rude, she don’t like to repeat herself!. As a senior citizen I have hearing issues. Not very helpful for our senior community.
Great Service ty (Hayden). Unlimited Soup & Salad & Bread sticks Super Tasty.No Line , Not Crowded 1:30pm-2:30 pm.Enjoyed Will be returning
This is a sad day. I never thought I’d be a person to complain but as someone who works in a restaurant, this was the worst service I’ve ever received. Usually I’m very understanding because there are complications that go on behind the scene.Im going to start by saying the hosts seemed inexperienced and sat us with no silverware. They also didnt tell us how long the wait would be they just put us on the list. So as im waiting in the heat wondering how long it takes to seat just 2 people I’m already frustrated.As we were sat our server came up to us and it felt as though she was rushing us to put our order in. She was rude and had no intention on making our time even enjoyable. I get being pressured or having a lot on your plate but its not hard to be friendly.I got my food and I was so unpleased with it i couldnt even finish it.So we paid and left early.I used to dream of going to olive garden as a kid and now I’m realizing that the over priced food and poor service is not worth the wait or money.PS: THE FOOD MADE ME SICK
Server was great. Service was spectacular. Food was yummy. Only issue was the pasta fagioli was too spicy hot. Maybe too much pepper. But it was still 5+ stars.
Amazing food! Fantastic service! Great prices! And even tho they were quite busy at the time we arrived, we were seated within 10 MINUTES!This was my first time eating at the OLIVE GARDEN-. I really enjoyed myself!Definitely RECOMMEND OLIVE GARDEN!
My wait was short to my surprise and my waiter was great. He was very attentive and lively. I requested an off the menu drink and the bartender did a great job delivering.
Salad always delicious the soup is too:) just very expensive to eat there.
I used to love Olive Garden I would order a chicken soup and Alfredo pasta almost every week. Today 09/15/2021 I order the same thing as usual and I was so disappointed 🥲 I feel that I wasted my money for no reason. Im not sure if they hired new cooks but the Alfredo pasta didn’t have any sauce or flavor. Please do better or else you would lose costumers.
We like to eat here.Shoutout to Evaristo, thanks man.He’s a great server!
Wonderful service and food on my birthday! First time weve eaten in a restaurant for some time. Eggplant parmesan was fantastic as well as the other dishes ordered. The waitress and food really made our experience wonderful.
I ordered online and it said my order would be available at 2:08 p.m. I got there at 2:15 and checked in right away. It took them 15 minutes to bring my order out to me. Unsatisfactory! Then to top it off, they skimped on the marinara sauce on the chicken parmesan, marinara sauce is not expensive! And I also asked for extra alfredo sauce on my order and did not get that! I dont think Im going to be ordering from them again anytime soon especially pick up!
Fred was an amazing customer service person. She made it possible for our party to sit together, She made my mothers birthday perfect. Thank you so much.
This location makes way too much money to have black specks on every single breadstick. Never used to be like this. Clean your ovens please!
Although the place was packed full, the wait time for a table was minimal. The food was great as well as the service. Our server Lannett was wonderful
I love this place. Good service and even better food.
Great friendly staff and typically good food
Oh yes this is my favorite place I enjoy The food
Food is always great, maybe so great that I feel the need to complain about not getting service for pickup. The website info says open, nicely displayed in bright GREEN letters but at 9:32 while trying to place a carry out order unfortunately for me i was not on time. Just a little misleading on the service availability I’d say. I will return with a vengeance. 😤
The wait was super super outrageously long. Server was very inexperienced forgot a lot of things basic things like pepper. Also was a little disappointed when I ordered the to go entrees and they said they had no more left. The ranch is terrible and they only offer Italian or Ranch. But the pasta outstanding yum and also the Moscato delicious yummy bubbly in my tummy
The bartender was cool. Very friendly and quick with the drinks. Our waitress Brittany was super cool friendly and had all our orders on point. Thank you all.
Good food, big portions, but a little pricey.
Good customer service at front ,wonderful service off our server that day Oct 12 at noon hope gets a raise he very well deserves it and the food very delicious and a very warm and enjoyable place to dine in with family or friends will highly recommend always 🙏🏼👍🏼🌟
Food was excellent. Fast, professional and nice service. Prices were also good for the food. 100 dollars for 4 people. Really good place to have a family dinner.
😋 Was so bomb!!! Waitress was seriously the best Ive ever experienced!!! We wanted for nothing..she just knew and kept on it!!!
First time here in a year. Celebrating a birthday. Food was not as good as we remembered. Service was quick and great. Wait time for table was about 20 minutes at weekday lunchtime.
The food was meh but the service was great. I would like to add that it was my first time so dont take my word on the food.
Great service. We had a very good waiter. Ordered the Chicken Alfredo but the sauce was really thinned out. Not as thick as other Olive Gardens I have been to. Overall not bad.
I love It there great service and really good food
Great place to spend a nice chat, eat something really good... The appetizers... The sangria drinks... The dessert a strawbeery cheesecake...only not soo good thing was the waiting even if u are in a wait list... And for the b-day ones a nice sing a long by the waitresses! Thanx to erika.
Place is obviously popular because it is always busy, never got in without a wait. Waiting area is not well organized and really takes away from the experience. Food is good but not unique from other Italian restaurants.
Soup are Bomb (chicken gnocchi)im impressed with the waiterRicky G AMAZING SERVICE!!!!!!
Wait was about 30 minutes on a Sunday afternoon. Standard Olive Garden food, good service. Got the salmon and it came to the table undercooked, but sent it back and was given a new fillet cooked well. Salad and breadsticks always good. And I love the tiramisu.
One of my favorite restaurants! I loved the fried mozzarella and eggplant parmesan. Will definitely go back!
Everything was Delicious 3 refills on the Salad its out limit.
Awesome dine in hospitality but they should really allow us to take soup home, pregnancy craves for later 😊 lol I mean I did pay the 20 dollar entree
The girls at the front were kinda rude which was a bad start, food was okay and the server was nice which made it not completely bad
For curbside pickup, it was great. Got in right when they said it would be ready and it was. They brought it right out to me and it was extremely easy and the food was great! Very good curbside pickup experience!
Service was great and the endless soup and salad is always great. Also yous try the watermelon sangria. Sweet but refreshing.
Great service, fast and plenty of food
Didnt really care for the fettuccine i liked more the lasagna and the chicken parmesan cheese. Food was delicious and bread sticks were amazing
Waitress was hardly around, did not ask us if we wanted more soup before our main dish, assumed 2 turns of the cheese grated that thats all the cheese we wanted, other waiters/waitresses asked their customers to tell them when to stop, waited for almost 30min for refill. Wish I remembered her name. And the chicken marsala was too salty.
Their salad and bread sticks are to die for! Til my meal came I was to full to eat it :) so I took it home for later and it was still good!
Today my family and I dinned in and our server was Bree she gave us a spectacular service and made the visit a memorable one we will definitely request to be seated in her section upon our next visit..also food was cooked perfectly and things moved along in a timely matter!
They offer curbside pick up. Very convenient during this time! Good customer service. Their chicken alfredo is always good!
The wait for a table was an hour and a half service was slow
Food had no flavor and server forgot about us,
Very great service but was concerned about police officers going into the back room
Its really a great place to get Italian food, I love the bread sticks here. I like to order the pasta fagioli, its a beef vegetable soup taste so awesome. Also the soups and salads are never ending, so eat as much as you like. For my main dish, I like getting spaghetti with classic marinara sauce. Everything here can have cheese, but if you are like me. That doesnt like cheese on everything, the cheese is always added separate. For me thats a good thing, I recommend this place.
Real good service. Hosts were very nice. And the waitress for our table was a blessing. She served with a smile.😊
Pink lemonade had no flavor at all and fettuccini Alfredo had no Alfredo sauce was totaly dry this is the first time happen to us ahhh and the sirloin wasnt juicy totaly disapointed the service was ok thats it
We ordered to go but when we went to pick up the food, the food was not ready after an hour. I had aready paid online. No one contacted us to let us know they were out of pizza. We had to reorder and wait another 20 minutes. Worst service ever.
Absolutely the worst customer service and even worse food. Made a mobile order they completely bombed it the first time the soup was completely broth no meat or potato my kids food was absolutely disgusting and soggy, had it remade (what I thought was remade) but no it was the same food as before. Gave the food back and I still have yet to receive my refund. This was now 5 days ago! I absolutely will be contacting my lawyer over this matter as I didnt receive any food and no refund! This is absolutely absurd and ridiculous.
Went for veterans day and got a free delicious ravioli dinner and I got two extra $5 meals to take home too. It was awesome.
Our waiter was very friendly and therefore our every need
I love the Olive Garden especially because of the breadsticks and salad. We had a great lunch and it wasnt too expensive. There was a wait so make sure to make a reservation ahead of time.
Dined ... The expectation for the wait was about 2 hours and we only waited about 45 min. They really sped up their survive without losing their quality. Very customer friendly! Come try the food
Good food, but sometimes crowded. Good for larger dinner groups, but not necessarily for smaller more intimate evenings.
Food is very good here but too expensive. Desserts are also way, way too expensive. Service was awesome. We only had to wait 10 minutes for our seating. Parking is okay but they really need a new parking area. Theyve changed the foyer and its much better than before because theyve expanded it greatly. Theyve also put in a television for waiting guests. There is a desk to order to go items and several parking spaces dedicated to those patrons only. They just need to lower their prices. Its pasta, salad and bread. It shouldnt be $19.99 for a dinner. Desserts were 7.99 and 8.99 and small.
Food is amazing and taste delicious. For trying olive garden for the first time is great. I prefer to dine in instead.
Was seated quickly and had great service.
Love me some chicken Alfredo the soups and salad yesss! idk why I always get a menu I end up ordering the same every time I never switch it up… anyways thee only thing I wish is that they had another location here in Bakersfield, Bakersfield is growing and we should be expanding more restaurants! This Olive Garden Is always packed the wait is long but that’s my only complain and that’s coming from a Karen lol
Cool lunch. Waitress came just on time but didnt hover. Allowed us to have a conversation. Waitress was actually really nice. Will definitely look for her again. Food was good. Everything came on time and allowed me to leave within the hour without feeling rushed. Awesome
The only one in Bakersfield, always over an hour wait time, better to order and pick up.
Always good food Friendly environment
Great food service was great very busy had to wait on part of our order. Brought salad no bread stick soup was really good tour of Italy was great.
Our server was awesome but the food for the price..ehhh obviously their food standard has gone way down
Not my favorite, I only ate there because my partner loves the Alfredo.
I did the pickup option where you find a marked parking place and call in your space number for them to carry it out to your car. Ive had much experience lately doing this thanks to the pandemic so you may understand I feared the worst. Not unusual to wait in that space 15 or even 20 minutes after the promised time, including the usual response when I call its coming right out. Most people by now know of the quality and type of food served at Olive Garden so Ill comment more on the curbside. And as expected, they were late. By about 30 SECONDS! I couldnt believe it, in fact I wasnt even ready I was preparing to go through my pile of emails when I heard a tap on my window. It was my large bag of food. Incredible I would say. Good job 👌 ladies and gents!
My wife and I stopped in for a late dinner. We felt bad about coming in for the last hour. However, received phenomenal and welcoming service by Daniel. Weve never had such great service, the food was great as well. We hope to see Daniel the next time we come in. If you get service from Daniel youre gonna have a good time!
I love olive garden. They were packed on this day but I will be back 🤣
Our last visit we were informed after waiting 30 minutes that they were out of the dish we ordered. The waitress never even apologized. We then waited another 15 min for them to bring out another dish to replace the one we originally ordered. This visit today at 11:30 a.m. they were already out of broccoli. The alfredo was beyond dry. And both dishes of the baked tortellini were cold. We then had to wait another 15 minutes for them to bring out hot dishes. The service is usually very good but whoever runs the kitchen doesnt do a very good job. We wont be returning to this Olive Garden again.
Great pasta, a bit pricey but worth the money. Great place for a family dinner.
As always great service and no wait time
Its been a while since I actually sat down and ate at this establishment but, I do find the carry out option very convenient.The customer service is a bit of a hit or miss. On most occasions, I find the staff extremely friendly but, there are those times when I find them a bit dismissive.As for the food, I would have to say that the quality of the food is very consistent and fairly good. Its the perfect go-to when one has no time to prepare a meal and the price is fairly reasonable as well.
Used the curbside and didnt get my whole order. Didnt notice till I was home. I would understand more if I had a big order but it wasnt
Love coming here to eat. I always ask for Miriam to be my server because she is always attentive to what me and my guests needs and goes above and beyond. The food always comes out fast and the service is excellent. I had never had as amazing customer service as I do when Miriam is my server. Will keep coming back for the food and amazing service.
Awesome dinner and service... took my kids out for some delicious Italian and the dessert was fantastic.
The customer service was wonderful but the food left a little to be desired. We got our food to go, we order the lunch special one shrimp scampi and a build your own, but by the time wed arrived home our food was dry. The noodles in the scampi were sticking together and there wasnt much sauce. We were disappointed with the flavor
Good food with good service. Glad they are dining inside. Have dinner here, the servers are warm, kind people who will take care of you.
I love this place! Where else can a person go and get unlimited soup and salad at a affordable price? Its nice when you can treat a friend to lunch without going over your budget. The service is great! I recommend the Olive Garden highly.
My family went to celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary. We were seated promptly upon arriving because I used the app to reserve my place in line. Once we were seated, we waited 20+ min for someone to come by and take a drink/appetizer order. The server never came and we left the establishment.
Love the food here and the service as always was excellent.
As always good food and service. Fred at front door and David at the table really made it a pleasant dining experience.
If you want authentic delicious Italian food - go somewhere else. But if you want to eat some never ending soup and salad, with bread sticks - this is the place. Take a not to get seated, but its worth a light filling lunch or dinner if your not wanting fancy, but still want to pretend.
I rested the kale and potato soup. I got a bowl full of half cooked kale and little to no potatoes or Italian sausage. I had to return it so they could get it right but even that was a disaster. I’m done with them
I ordered a piña colada with an extra shot and they gave me half a shot and gave the other half to another guest in my party and refused to refund me or drop the charges and Angie was extremely unhelpful. She’s the manager was very unhelpful. Two thumbs down 👎👎
The food was great the shrimp alfredo is my favorite.
Over rated and Over priced. No flavor. I liked the setting and music. The bathrooms were clean. The service was ok but the food and drinks thumb down. I wont be going back. I gave a 2 stars because of the bread sticks they give you and our waitress was really nice
I went in expecting a decent place to eat but it turned out to be really nice proper and the service was great and the food was delicious
Excellent food, great service. The only negative was the long wait to get a table on a Saturday evening--almost an hour.
The pasta are overrated pricey too. I love the soup though, and Ligaya made us feel at home with here warm treatment.
I am giving this a three because I was told it would take an hour after my order in order for it to be ready. I felt like this was out of line considering it was a simple order. I decided to go elsewhere without ordering.
We had such a great time, our waitress was amazing and the food was great! Can never go wrong going to this Olive Garden.
Good food, nice background music, sort of classy while being family friendly.Only complaint is that there are waits on bad days it can take a while to get served on even giving a timer beeper to let them know that enough time has passed.Love the chicken Alfredo and potato soup there. The spicy lemom shrimp are a treat as well with a bit acidic to make it really good. Its my moms favorite place and i love the mint chocolates they give at the end.5 stars
Absolutely exceptional.Our waiter was so kind friendly and positive. It really made the night and definitely brought our Vibe up. We all have bad days. And sometimes its his great and sit around the table with your friends and family and talk. But when you got awesome food and also a waiter like ours. It makes the whole experience. Tonight was my first time going to the Olive Garden in 30 years. I will definitely be back and bring more friends.
Had a great night with friends and family. Food was good service was great especially because they were super busy.
Food was not fresh. It had a bad taste. The ravioli was really hard.
The view is great. The atmosphere is for every setting. The service is polite (they might forget about you when busy). Food is of very good but not great quality. Its why I must give it 4 instead of 5. You can spend over 100 dollars here on just a small family of 2 kids. Of that price I would want great tasting and quality food.
Me and my wife just love this place. It has some of the best Italian food that we love to eat. The staff there are so cheerful and helpful. Plus the prices are fair. We love the buy one take one home. What a deal. Great place to have an anniversary,office meetings,parties or what ever the occasion or get together. But recommend to make an appointment or go in early. They get pretty busy. Check it out.
Excellent service, delicious food. Just passing thru and knowing that Olive Garden delivers good food, we decided to eat here. If you are planning to visit this restaurant, you may want to ask to be sat in Londons section. She is an absolute doll and great server. We overstayed out time there, trying to kill some time, and she never complained about needing to turn over the table. Thanks for the great service London!!
Deziree was our waitress, 34 weeks pregnant but on the ball! Service was great, we asked for our salad, one of us wanted onions, the other did not. She brought sliced onions on the side. A request for alfredo sauce and marinara for dipping our bread came out quickly. The food was good, her recommendations for the 5 cheese sauce were spot on! yum! It was crowded, but the wait was less than 10 minutes. She brought us boxes and bags to pack up our leftovers and brought our to go order just as we were finished checking out. Loved it!
Excellent food, nice big servings and full of flavor! Service was outstanding! Everything nice and clean, a very nice atmosphere overall. Would recommend.
I was in the mood for pasta and this place just ruined the experience. First of all our waiter was new, so you can just imajine. My husband got his drink and no straw was handed to him. About 30 minutes went by and she finally comes to take our order. The food comes and it has no flavor, the shrimp tasted like theyve been unfrozen, then frozen again. It was awful. We know when places do this to the seafood because my husband gets an allergic reaction. We dont plan on ever going back. We do not recommend this place.
No flavor and over priced. The music is nice and its comfortable. The drinks are watered down and over priced. The salad was ok but nothing that caught my taste. I wont be going back. The bread was AMAZING thats why I gave 2 stars.
The bar is the best place for the best service. We have tried the main dining area and it takes a while to get service and our food. You do not have to order drinks to dine in there. I recommend staying away from peak times and think about an early dinner or eat later than 7pm. This restaurant is busy and parking can be hard to find. The food is very good and served hot and the soup is a delite with this winter temperature. Enjoy
I love the soups and bread sticks AND the delicious desserts!!! 2 things I do NOT like are: There are 2 stalls in ladies restroom that are SO SMALL you can hardly get yourself and your purse into!!!! Not good! I heard other ladies complaining also! The other thing is: Handicapped Parking is TERRIBLE. There are only 2 that are close to the door! Theres probably MORE spaces reserved for food pick ups...AND...theyre ALL close to the door!!! It would be VERY NICE to have these things changed! Thanks for listening!
Ordered online through the website for car side pick up and didnt receive half my order. I ordered ahead for a special team dinner, drove all the way from Lake Isabella and couldnt turn around when we realized we were missing food. Called in and should be expecting a refund in a week but still disappointed our order wasnt fulfilled and I had to go buy salad when I returned home.
The food is typical for olive garden. The biggest gripe I have is this: if you make people wait outside during the hottest part of the day, you could put out some chairs for people. People with back/leg problems and senior citizens would be appreciative of that gesture.
Nice waitress, lunch was good. Quick and accurate order taken. Need to bring back the Never ending pasta bowl deal. Two Adults & 2 children 8yrs and 3years . Took breadsticks home . 50$ LUNCH WAS A BIT PRICEY IN MY EYES. FOOD WAS OKAY
I have to start this review out with stating that most all of garden restaurants are definitely five star establishments. I’m reviewing Bakersfield Olive Garden because it’s the restaurant closest to my home. So this location is typically busy so expect to wait for a seat if you’re going during a lunch or dinner rush. The waiting area is very comfortable and welcoming however there’s not much room so typically people have to stand while waiting for a seat. This restaurant recently was remodeled and you can tell because everything is newer. The food typically comes out pretty quick even on busy hours. It’s a very good restaurant if you’re looking for something nice but not paying for a fancy price. I will close this review with the fact that Bakersfield should have a second location Olive Garden. Happy eats!
Every time I have been here the food and service has been excellent until today, it is 5:15pm, not to many people trying to eat. They took us to our table and we sat waiting for about 15 minutes, if my wife hadnt stopped a waiter passing by who knows how much longer we would have waited. Our waitress showed up about 30 minutes after we had been sitting there and then we never saw her again, seriously. Olive Garden really dropped the ball tonight. The reason I gave 4 stars you ask, well let me tell you about Miguel the waiter my wife stopped, this guy was not our waiter yet he stepped up and took our order, served us our food, he is a super employee/waiter. The 4 stars are for Miguel, the only good thing about Olive Garden.

2022-03-20I dont get here often, as its the only one here in town and the lunch time wait is too long. Well the food was basically okay; a little dry everywhere. The breadsticks were not fresh or warm, and the main course was dry. The Bellini was really good, and the service was stellar - If I could single out the service for a rating, it would be 5 stars . I noticed on the menu that fettuccine seems to be the side pasta for everything. Its not really the best choice when having chicken marsala. I know that fettuccine Is really cheap, and the sure sign of a cost saving measure, but it is also heavy and flavorless. . And, I dislike poorly prepared pasta, as this was lukewarm and a little chewy. I would not consider going here again in the near future. I DO recommend the italian donuts though

2022-03-13The Olive garden never disappoints my family. This was our first time back since December 2019... Then the pandemic news came & in the first quarter of 2020 our world changed. So we didnt get a chance to go out much because I have parents in their 70s & they opted to stay inside & no more going to restaurants. Fast forward to the 11th of March 2022 & we came back to celebrate 🍾 my moms Birthday 🎂 🥳 here, because she was craving their famous Salmon & broccoli with the all you can eat Salad & Breadsticks. We started with the fried shrimp 🍤 appetizers with fried bell peppers & onions that come with this delicious spicy ranch dressing to dip everything in. We also got the Fried Ravioli with the spicy ranch dip as well, Which I highly recommend‼️‼️Our server was a real sweetheart & I HAD to tip her an extra $20 on top of her tip that was added to our debit card payment cause she took very good care of the 6 of us at her table. She was on top of her game with refilling drinks & butter & breadsticks & salads & extra dressing for my mom & grandma. We had her running back & forth for sure & she didnt disappoint at all. Our food was served pretty fast & I was surprised because the place was packed. Everyones dish came HOT 🔥 & delicious to our table. We all accepted the Freshly grated parmesan cheese on our dinners as well. Everything went perfectly for my moms birthday. We bought a cake & our waitress put it in the fridge for us until we were ready to sing Happy Birthday 🎂 🥳 Then staff members all came over to help sing. We had a blast there & it was a 5 star 🌟 visit & review. I cannot thank the Olive Garden & its wonderful staff ❤️ for a beautiful night out with my family & an amazing dinner as well. THIS was all that was left of my moms cake because our bellies were full of food. We will 100% be back again. It was so worth it after being away for 2 years & 3 months. Forever grateful 🙏🏼 Christopher

2022-07-07If i decide to come try again I will leave a better review. But upon the service of trying to have a sit down meal and the hunny being shunned away was disrespectful. A simple sorry were closing and not taking further seating arrangements would have been fine. But the attidude and sheer disrespect from the host???I would like to update my review as we tried this place again. We sat there for about 20 minutes after being seated with no server to come take our drink orders or even greet us. I was about to walk out but he went to grab someone and it wound up being the manager. Vicki apologized sincerely and told us she would take off our appetizers and drinks. Angie became our server and she was absolutely amazing. She was very helpful with everything and fixed any mistake up as there was a wrong drink brought to our table so she apologized and fixed it very quickly. Christopher wound up taking over for Angie and he was ok but definitely couldnt fill Angies shoes. He brought us boxes at the end and 10 minutes later we literally had to ask for our check. Usually the waiter will bring u ur check with the boxes or go grab it right after but come on... I didnt receive a pasta spoon so that made eating alot messier then Im used to and without the check ins I couldnt ask for one. So we got our check and couldnt pay. We had to take it up to Vicki and not only was our drinks still on our ticket but we were double charged for the mistake. She only took off the mistake. So the promises she made about taking off the drinks and apps for our inconveniences only mounted to taking off the one appetizer. Thanks Vicki. Should have walked out like I wanted to in the beginning.Onto the food portion. It was not 5 star quality. They didnt have the lasagna fritas we originally wanted so we got these instead. Not recommended over the lasagna fritas. I didnt like my chicken and seafood pasta so my hunny switched me plates with his Alfredo. The salad was very heavy on Italian dressing. I like mine light so I guess I should have specified that. As I mentioned above. No pasta spoons. Sure it would have been an ok meal and I wouldnt have picked it apart so much if they would have made things right. But instead. We were lied to. After waiting and almost walking out because we didnt have any service. And the food wasnt exactly screaming for a return of the customer. The best part about our visit was the server Angie. And sadly we wont come again. Guess we should have known by the way they treated us the first visit. As my first review states

2021-07-09This is a typical olive garden with good food and huge portions. I tried the chicken gnocchi soup and its just amazing. I didnt enjoy the chicken Parmesan much. The staff is pretty good and quick. We went a little late around 9:30 so there werent many people in there and it was a little dark

2021-04-13Ive come to this particular Olive Garden quite a few times and Ive never had a bad experience. Everyone was extremely nice offering assistance for my disabled mother by moving a chair from the table and making it more comfortable for her. They always offer great recommendations of course its subjective to what they particularly enjoy but I always go with it. This last time I went It happened right after the fire incident occurred and the smell of smoke was very faint, nothing overpowering. The gentleman waiting our table was really friendly asking how we all were asking if we had been there before and just all around exceptional customer service being implemented. I was skeptical about a dish and asked him about it and he gave his honest opinion so I ordered it and was so happy I did so. It was exceptional!

2022-03-29We call to make a reservation one day in advance because we knew, how busy this place can get we were celebrating my nieces birthday. They told us there was no need to reserve a table. We call again Monday morning because we wanted to have dinner there, that evening we ask again they said it wouldn’t be a problem but they couldn’t reserve a table it was about 15 people in our party we just wanted to make sure we wouldn’t have to wait and they would be ready for our group. We call 15 minutes before heading there and told us that there was no wait time. We get there and they tell us is a 2 hour wait for such a big group, food is great there but they lack on there costumer service, we end up at Sorella that was by far the best decision we made that night.

2022-05-27My granddaughter graduated from Taft College, on Friday, May 20th. After the ceremony, we wanted to take her to eat. They were the only restaurant that would accommodate us, on such short notice, since they were closing at 11:00 pm, and we didnt arrive until after 9:30 pm. The staff was very patient and professional, and the food was delicious. Never did we feel like we were being rushed or holding up their closing. There was at least 20 of us, so my hats off to them for handling the last minute reservation.
