Opinions de Olive Garden Amherst
Took mother in law out for birthday and we normally go out with 9-10 people. We got the big table almost private room and really let everyone cut loose. Food was great, Alfredo was piping hot! Everyone had a good meal and no complaints on the food which is somewhat unusual. Couldn't find a coupon for her birthday then they offered us with a piece of 🍰! They brought it with a candle and sang with us which is nice I think Gramma liked it. Felt like a personal experience even though it was at a chain restaurant. The surviving restaurants out there might be worth giving a shot after all. Local or not. ✌🏻
I wasn't expecting much walking into an Olive Garden but I was pleasantly surprised. The soup & pasta I got was phenomenal along with a perfect margarita. Food came out very quickly and our server was a charm. I was so happy I had to leave a review which I don't do much. Highly recommend this location.
Food was as expected, would come back for Cortin. He was super pleasant, friendly and helpful. He made our experience a 10/10. Pls consider him for management or at the very least, a raise.
We crossed the border to visit Buffalo and we had to try Olive Garden for the first time. We were jot disappointed when we arrived. We had such great service from our server and everything came out so fast. The food was super delicious and they even gave a slice of cake for my son’s bday. Would highly recommend coming here!
Thank you Candice for always treating us like family everytime we have lunch at Olive Garden! It's a routine for us having lunch there in the first Sunday of the month, traveling from Canada and getting top notch customer service means a lot! Great food, drinks, service! Our favorites are the eggplant Parmesan, gnocchi soup, spaghetti w meatballs, chicken Alfredo pasta. Always consistent and huge servings, our best go-to Italian restaurant!
I am from Toronto. I used to go to the one near the Fashion Outlet. It was horrible, long line up, seats were tight, food tasted bad. I told myself not to dine at Olive Garden. Today I passed by this location and just wanted soup and salad. The server was super great. Worked really hard for my table. Brining food on time. Very good. Salad was fresh, pasta was good, soups were delicious. I will be going back to this location only.

I’ve been there twice and never had a bad experience. The servers are always very friendly and fast, and the restaurant is very clean. The breadsticks come out first, always soft and well seasoned. Something I like to do is to dip the breadsticks in the Chicken & Gnocchi soup. The salad came out fast too and was also great. I always get a classic Alfredo and my favorite Creamy Mushroom sauce with my pasta. So much that I even learned how to make the Creamy Mushroom sauce at home! I just wish they have the Never Ending Pasta event all year round. Because other than that, I don’t really find Olive Garden to be affordable or a good deal for pasta, something very easy to make at home.
It was a good dinner. Never seems to have a bad meal and the prices are great. The restaurant was clean, our server was very attentive and friendly. We shared the "Tour of Italy" and kids had the pizza and Alfredo. Can't go wrong with unlimited bread sticks and salad. Will go back again if we are ever going to be in the area. This is for all restaurants but the interior needs to be modernized a bit but it doesnt effect my love for the OG. Oh, and get the Lasagna dessert....it was really good
To start, the breadsticks were way too salty. That seems to be a trend in the reviews The rest of the food was good and the service was very good for us. Olive Garden isn’t going to blow you away but it gets the job done and you always leave feeling full with the unlimited soup or salad for about $20-30 :)
Saving grace was our server Dakota’s excellent service! He gave us great recommendations and was super friendly the entire time! Food was hit and miss. Breadsticks and fried shrimp appetizer tasted good, but wish there was more shrimp and less peppers. I got the tour of Italy, lasagna and pasta was 5/5 but the chicken parm was a little too salty and on the small side. My fiancee got the Shrimp Scampi and the noodles came out super mushy. There were no issues getting it replaced and the second time the noodles were cooked better but still not to perfection. Actual flavor of the dish though was good but we wouldn’t buy it again.
After having closed all 416 locations it is hard for us to get a OG unless you are in the Buffalo area. Family loves the cheese laden pasta dishes- not sure I can call it Italian restaurant. The service was great and wait staff made sure the breadsticks, soups and salads were enough. Loved the electronic menu that is on the table with allergens clearly marked for me to figure out vegan options. The Salad, the minestrone soup and breadsticks are fairly good options and quite filling. Family ordered some cheese laden pasta dishes and they were quite happy. Could not finish them though.
Great food. Had a family dinner. Ordered eggplant and told it ran out. Then later on, told me that they found the last set of I am interested. I told her definitely. I am not vegan but the eggplant dish was great. I am from Canada. I downloaded their app earlier (don’t recall if you need to be in US App Store for it). And use the app to join waitlist earlier before I drive to the restaurant.
Well, we did it! All the hype of the Olive Garden and I decided to just do it, yes I made the visit over the border for an OG experience. The server and all of the staff were fantastic, so fun, they knew the menu really well and were super helpful in deciding what to order. The ambience was a tad dated, and as I hadn't been there before I have to admit I was a bit underwhelmed at first glance. The food! Well, I have to be honest ... The salad was delish! The pasta was pasta and the sauce was marinara. It was fine, but it definitely wasn't over the top in my opinion. I think the copious amounts of cheese offerings are what make it all taste good. I ordered a side of meatballs and they were forgotten and I wanted and espresso and although she indicated the machine was heating up, I didn't get that either. I'm glad I went, yet I feel I don't need to go again. Our server made it a great experience with her energy. Cheers, Spicy Jan

This was the second time at this place. My friends love the food. I not so much. Last time our server was amazing. He was on it and so attentive without being annoying. This time not so great. In addition to my hot water coming out in a dirty cup and the water was yellow and had a smell. I pour out some to make sure it wasnt just the cup. The server dropped off the food but didn't offer the grated cheese until most of us had eaten half way through our food as we were hungry. The food was the same as before. Decent. Some of it was good, while others were ok. Anything with fried chicken cutlet was a disappointment as the chicken tasted pre packaged and like it was warmed up in the microwave or air frier, put on a plate and sauce thrown on top of it. I only go here when it's a group of 10 or more, otherwise I wouldn't bother. Service seems to be hit or miss based on the day. Foodwise I feel you'll find better elsewhere. The unlimited soup or salad and breadsticks is ok, but even that I'd rather go to an East Side Mario's. Next time I'll grab an app and just do take out afterwards.

We went for dinner around 5pm, and were taken to a table quickly. We waited a long time for apps and dinner to be brought out. When our meals arrived, the chicken parmesan was so overcooked that we couldn't cut through it. The spicy meat sauce tasted off. Both dishes had to be returned. The chicken was brought out quickly, but the pasta took twenty minutes to come back out.
Didn’t have the best experience here today. We had to wait really long for each aspect of our meal. Waters, pop, cheese, takeout boxes etc. Waited for 10 mins for our waters! And my diet cokes came 2 minutes before my meal came. Our server must have been new because she was unable to handle a section of four tables. By the time she came out with our Parmesan, we were literally finished our meal. Overall the food was ok. The sauces were yummy. Chicken tasted kind of rubbery, I guess that’s to be expected for a chain like this.
Oh my goodness. I wouldn't believe it had I not experienced it for myself. I guess when you are there you are family. But when you pop in for an order of donuts, it's a production and no one cares …

Food was ok. Worst experience though. They informed us we can have salad or soup for each person so we ordered. The portion was big so we are sharing. When we check the bill they charge us 4 extra portion of salad. This was not mentioned when we order. We did not even get a single refill. Manager was trying to scam and add extra charges on the bill. We were thinking it might be our mistake but by judging other comments here, clearly it was the manager’s issue. The waiter even mention it is the manager that made her add those extra charges, she does not want to add that. Olive Garden please consider replacing this manager. This is our first time visiting Olive Garden and I can say even though I think the food was fine but I will never visit again. Just FYI, I also work in hospitality industry so I usually understand waitress/manager POV but this is way too much. The manager adjusted the bill after I told her this is nonsense but she acted like this is a favour from her, we still end up paying for one extra portion. Please check your bill!!!!!
Tonight myself and my grandkids 12/10 went to Olive Garden. We ordered 3 meals- 2 full entrees and child’s meal. The bread sticks and salad came. She handed out two plates. I asked for a plate for the 10 yr old - she said I will have to charge me for a plate. We couldn’t share our salad or breadsticks with the 10 yr old. I was under the impression the salad is for all. We are a family we share. I wasn’t looking for an extra salad, just share the bowl they served, we share usually,, she made my Grandaughter sit without a plate telling her she could not have the salad. She wouldn’t give her a plate for breadsticks either. She brought only 3 breadsticks to the table and said they were out after. One breadstick each! I’m not sure what each entree gets, 3 breadsticks seemed skimpy, compared to other olive gardens. My girl ordered off the kids menu. I’d think, she would be able to share the salad I purchased for our meals. Anyway - I usually tip big at Christmas time. I did not - nor will I be back to this location. To stop a child from eating the salad, we purchased was awfully gross. We will not be back. Food was skimpy, Olive Garden is not worth the money or the abuse, to make a child too uncomfortable to eat- is absolutely disgusting.
Everything went well with the taste of pasta, breadsticks and salad. We were a group of three people who just want to have little taste of olive garden as we were already full. We specifically asked for just one make your own pasta so that we could share it among us, the waitress added 2 more extra servings of salad as we were 3 people and did not even give a heads up about it. All I want to convey is please don’t charge us extra and only give what we asked for. Just read other reviews here about the same that they are charging extra for salad even if we didn’t want it or ask for refill! This has to be changed or customers please be aware of this.
My food was extremely salty and overcooked. Requested breadsticks which we were unable to eat because of the excessive amount of salt. Food was just ok and not very flavourful. I ordered Tour of Italy with Chicken Parm, Alfredo and Lasagna which were overcooked. My Cesar salad was extremely salty too. I guess the chef or who evers want to make the food so salty. Our server is really nice and friendly. She tried her best to accommodate us. The ambience of the restaurant was also very beautiful and it was very clean. But I will never be returning to this location particularly because the food was extremely not tasteful at all. I’m not sure about other Olive Garden Restaurants in the area, but this one is a definitely no go.
- The bread sticks were extremely salty. I couldn't eat more than half of one - There was a small sign on my table that advertised a buy 1 get 1 takeout deal. The prices on it were misleading. The sign had large font that said the deal cost $15, but below that in much smaller font, it said certain items cost up to $7 more - They charge $3 to play bland games on the tablet - The server kept messing up our order and we had to ask for things repeatedly because she kept forgetting - Most tables were empty at dinner time on Saturday, which is a bad sign - The chicken parmesan dish was overcooked and dry Overall, the prices here were very expensive considering how bad the food tasted and the poor level of customer service. I highly do not recommend going here.
The gnocchi soup was delicious and so was the shrimp and chicken carbonora. The reason for 1 star is because my fiance literally got sick after 5 minutes of eating the tour of italy or his soup 😭 he ran straight to the washroom to puke. My stomach did not feel the greatest either but he puked so much. The cold water tasted like bleach as well. The service was great though, our waitress was very nice and understanding. She didn't charge us for his food but this shouldn't be normal 😭
