Olive Garden sucks so much. Blandest sauces, overcooked pasta, even the bread sticks suck now compared to the 90's.

It's the only restaurant I straight up hate because the food is that awful.

Only restaurant my family had a borderline hostile reaction from the staff. Seated other families before us, stating "we forgot you," and ignoring a meal order from a member stating, "you didn't order anything."

I knew someone who worked there with a woman who, when asked if she recommended the seasonal cheesecake, replied: “it’s so good, it makes me wet.”

She wasn’t fired, so I don’t think they really screen their staff much.

This is somewhere on a spectrum between "hilarious" and "would you like to join us for dessert?"

[-] Tyfud@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago

Porque no Los dos

Is “joining us for dessert” a euphemism?

[-] errer@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago

Sounds like she wanted your complimentary breadstick

Its 2003 and I am watching the Matrix Reloaded; the Merovingian has spiked the code of a cake he's directed to be served to a patron at his restaurant. The special cake causes the woman to have an orgasm within seconds of ingesting the first bite of it...

Its 2023 and I am in an Olive Garden...

It really depends a lot on management. The one I work at takes customer service deadly serious, and we bend over backwards in the name of being accommodating. Had what you described happened at my OG you would have had your entire meal comped and probably gotten a gift certificate along with a profuse apology from the person in charge.

I kind of feel bad for you. I’ve never been to a “bad” Olive Garden. Sure it’s not fresh home cooked but it’s still good imo. That said I only eat the carbonara or the eggplant parm with gnocchi soup. Don’t think I’ve ever eaten anything else there.

[-] jacksilver@lemmy.world 10 points 4 days ago

It's possible then you've never been to a "good" one. While they were never great food, back in the 90s early 00s they were all a higher quality than what you find now.

Sure it’s not fresh home cooked but it’s still good imo.

Don't ever take people's advice and expand your tastes.

Bruh I was living my best life eating Wendy's burgers dipping it into their mystery chili.

Then I wanted to "expand my horizons" and got invited to fancy events and ate expensive cuts of meat/learned how to taste specific foods and what to look for. And now if I order from Wendy's, Im too busy overthinking mouth fills and flavor composition and shit 😭. I can't even enjoy it!

Life was so much easier (and cheaper) when I lived ignorantly 😭

I just don’t understand how one can fuck up italian food. One of the easiest foods to make. Yet Olive Garden manages to every time.

[-] ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 2 points 3 days ago

I mean their focus isnt flavor, but keeping the food lasting as long as possible so there is no waste. So they pour lots of chemicals into those tv dinners that the min-wage employees microwave for you.

[-] telllos@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

Nah, italian food done right isn't that easy.
