Best

I love this place! The wait staff is always extra friendly and the managers always seem to be on top of things. Sometimes crowded but that's the sign of a good restaurant now isn'...

Worst

It's not the best Italian food. It's a chain restaurant and does not compare to Mom and Pop Italian restaurants. But it's okay when you're hungry. Over priced though. Pros: ...

Editorial review from Citysearch 3/25/2016

The buy one, take one home is back! So we came in and sat down for lunch and we get to take another meal home for dinner! Haha. Saves us money ;)\r \r The Ravioli is delicious! I ordered mine with meat sauce and my wife kept hers the same, cheese because she's vegetarian. Of course you get your choose of unlimited salad or soup to start with, so you're already full by your entree lol. So I'll TWO dinners tonight! Lucky me more

Editorial review from Citysearch 2/7/2014

Worst Italian food ever! This place can't make real Italian food. The food seems to just come out of a pouch and just heated. No flavor on the food. more

This Olive Garden is a gem! 12/17/2009

I love this place! The wait staff is always extra friendly and the managers always seem to be on top of things. Sometimes crowded but that's the sign of a good restaurant now isn't it? Highly recommend this one. We will continue to go back. more

Too crowded 7/2/2009

Hard to find, but worth it 4/9/2008

We went here on a sat. night and the wait was only like 30 minutes for 6 of us and the service was exceptional. I like to dine out a lot, and this little nook and corner of the building is surprising. Typical olive garden food, reliable and not too expensive, great bar drinks more

I love the breadsticks! 4/9/2008

My boyfriend and I went here for lunch after shopping at the Galleria, we didn't have to wait, the food was good and the server was very nice. They don't have their signature raspberry lemonade, but the bread and the salad was really what I came for anyways. I had a good time. We were in and out of there fast, good atmosphere. I would recommend it more

Very friendly staff 4/9/2008

I went to the Olive Garden in Burbank and the wait was terrible, and the server was pushy and had an attitude. So I talked to the manager there and they blew me off and gave me a gift card---but at least I have the option of dining elsewhere! So I tried the one closer to my house (we haven't been there in years cause it sucked so bad) but we went back and it was good. The server was an older gentleman who took really good care of us and didn't seem rushed at all, and the food was the way it is supposed to be, hot, sudo-italian (this isn't gourmet, it wasn't designed to be that upity, a lot of these reviews seem to miss the point!) and everyone seemed to be in a great mood. I think I found my new Olive Garden! Pros: Professional waiters, good reliable food, little wait time Cons: crappy location more

We enjoyed this restaurant 4/5/2008

We had a large family get together and we wanted to go to an Olive Garden, it was my grandmother's birthday... (it was her idea) there were about 12 of us. We came in late like 8:30 and they got us sat at this long table within 15 minutes. We had good service, the waiter was very nice and made some good suggestions. We had this one waiter who even sang for my grandma, she loved it, he was very good. It made her entire day. We will go back. Pros: Friendly staff, good reliable food, good value, lots of wines Cons: Strange location, no signage and a parking garage more

Not Pleased 3/21/2007

A group of friends & I where out shopping we where all starving right across from us was The Olive Garden we all agreed Olive Garden sounded great. When we arrivied the manager was taking names and the number in your party. Once we told him there was 9 of us he looked at us and said I don't think we can service you because you guys are to many and we are real busy. In his words" and if we where we sit you it would be 1-2 hour wait". We told him they can sit us in 2 tables he said he did not have 2 tables available.I asked to speak to someone above him and he told us he was the manager and there was no one above him at the time. The employees around him looked as shocked as we did. We asked for corporates number and walked out. As we walked out one of the workers was outside and said " He's a $%*@". We could not agree more with him. more

Absolutely horrible!!! 10/31/2005

After Trick or Treating with our friends 8 of us showed up at this Olive Garden location. We were told it would be 30 minutes. Then the Hostess checked and said it wouldn't be actually that long. I took my daugther to the restroom and as I walked through the restaurant, it wasn't even full. There were numerous empty tables. We waited approximate 10 more minutes and then asked how much longer. The hostess said about 5 minutes. A few minutes later the Hostess and another lady were taling (within our ear shot) that none of the waiters wanted a table that big and we would have to wait 15 more minutes. We at that point got up and went to CPK upstairs where they seated us and happily waited on us. more

The best Italian food 3/10/2005

I like coming here a lot. Pros: Service, parking more

Better than some, worst than most. 9/27/2004

Couldn't really say because I only ate here once in my lifetime at this location. The food was okay, nothing really special. The waiter was doing his job which succeeded on a good dining experience. The price was not at all in terms of value. Pros: attentiveness more

Olive Garden 5/22/2003

The Olive Garden is probably THE worst Italian food ever! They must take it right out of the frozen pack and put it right into the microwave. Come ON! more

Listed as Best Italian?! 4/22/2003

You LA people bust me up. I'm sitting here in NYC looking over what the top restaurants and nightlife places are in LA, and I come across Olive Garden as the 3rd best Italian restaurant in LA??? That's the problem with LA, it's like a hellhole of franchises, with nothing unique about the nightlife or city. In NYC, we won't even go near an Olive Garden. The only one here is in Times Square for all the tourists. For those of you who really want good Italian, don't be fooled by the ratings, even if LA people really do think it's the best! Pros: Endless Salad?, Breadsticks?, Cheap Cons: Nasty Food, Suburbia Hell, Franchise Hell more

Lighten Up 4/5/2003

If you're expecting authentic Italian cuisine, then you won't be happy with Olive Garden. But the portions are nice(Tour of Italy), the food is good and the service is usually very good. The Burbank location is exceptional in the service category! The bottomless soups and salads are possibly the best value you'll find anywhere and the desserts are delicious! Pros: Value, bottomless Soup/Salad, Desserts Cons: Usually crowded more

You call this Italian? 3/27/2003

This place is the "Dennys" of Italian cuisine. Do yourself a favor if your going to dine at an Italian chain, stick to Il Fornaio or Maggianos. Pros: Cheap Cons: Everything else more

Underrated 3/11/2003

The Olive Garden takes some getting used to. You go and try to convince yourself it's not that great. In fact, having tried Olive Gardens in multiple cities, it's honestly pretty reliable. Good bread. Very decent pasta. If I'm travelling, don't know where to eat and see it, I'll go. Pros: The bread, The pasta more
