To much to type bout incident
Went there. It was starting to snow outside went inside got a booth they had to air out.
It was freezing. I heard the other table complaining also and there was a third party to. I was so cold my hands were freezing. I had to cover up all my coat, I told the waitress so she told a manager.
When is your turn the heat on it got warm for about two minutes then I started getting cold again I got up looked at the thermostat and the heat wasnt even on it was the fan which is blowing cold air around , my food came out dirty minutes later the angel hair was gone me and just thrown on a plate.
The carbonara sauce came out in a separate bowl which shouldve never happened so I told the manager now that the heat is still not on he went over and just turned it on auto, but it still wasnt on heat , my husband does heating and air so we knew what was going on. If its cold and customers are complaining, why not put the heat on I doubt will ever go back management was poor food was cold the soup was cold.

Verified Reviewer |Wasted money
I ordered Olive Garden to go at the bay rd Saginaw MI location. I ordered a lasagna with a salad and I customized my salad how I wanted it.
No tomatos no black olives and extra pepperchini peppers with 4pks of croutons. And utensils. I drove 45min back and forth for this food and spent $30 for my salad to not be customized actually looked as if they put extra black olives in it. No utensils, Im working I have nothing to eat with!
So now I just wasted my time, money, and gas. I called the Saginaw one and the manager was extremely rude and said I was wrong! I told her Im eating a fry *** salad with my fingers and she said she is hanging up cause I cussed.
And then didnt want to give me the # to corporate so I google searched to email because it didnt have to be that big of a deal but she kept telling me I was wrong and I didnt order what I ordered! I have my receipt and im hoping to hear a response back.

Verified ReviewerFood poisioning
yesterday my friends and I a party of 10 went to your location on Woodrow bean Transmountain in El Paso Texas around 8pm mst. We all ended up with food poisoning.
We all had chicken our one friend had egg plant parm and my daughter had pizza. All sick. The manager said she would refund our bill but could only do mine so my friend called in about hers.
The manager was rude she stated she did 50 orders of chicken and shrimp carbonara and we are the only table to complain. First off I think that was extremely rude of her and not only that she hung up on my friend when she said we had to wait for 15 mins in an empty restaurant.

Verified Reviewer |Very poor service and problem with bill.
Recently had dinner at Olive Garden In Panama City Beach, Florida and had many issues. (02/25/2024 - check #33691) We ordered an appetizer along with 2 entrees with salad.
The appetizer came out and a minute later the salad bowel and a couple minutes later the entrees, all within 5 minutes. We didn't get to enjoy our appetizer, due to the salad arriving, so we both got a plate of salad when the main entre arrived. Needless to say, the main course was cold before we got to it. When I tried to pay at the table with a credit card the tip was included in the bill.
I like to give the waitress cash for good service, but I did not get the option. There was no place on the table kiosk to not leave a tip which is my usual routine.
Not a favorable meal or evening with my wife. Hope you can correct these issues.
User's recommendation: Watch your bill for add on's like tip. If you have poor service, talk to a manager

Verified Reviewer |Fell in establishment !
On 2/16/24 as I was leaving Olive GardenI caught my toe on a corner of the mud runner that was flipped up in the entry and fell. This was between the two sets of glass doors.
There was staff that witnessed it and offered help immediately. The GM, was brought out. They made certain I didn't require Rescue and sent me on my way. I followed up via email 2/18 that I would be seeking medical attention.
I followed up via email on 2/27 stated he would have Liability contact me. Followed up with Via email on 3/4, told I would be contacted soon. Reached out on 3/6. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE!!!
I have been in a lot pain for almost a month which is unacceptable. I would appreciate someone reaching out to me to resolve this.
User's recommendation: Make sure everything is documented !

How is it my fault when I ordered online? I ordered exactly how I wanted it!
I didn’t talk to anybody until after I got back with my order wrong!
They were wrong! And I actually eat inside there often, this was my first “to go” order and it will be my last ever order
Don't blame them when it is your fault. They don't understand what you said
Dear facebook team I got confirm your identity problem in my personal facebook account please solve my problem it is definitely possible for you please solve my problem alieajul867@***.com
With your poor English most likely they could not understand what you wanted and therefore got your order wrong.
