Our server, Liam, was so amazing! He was very attentive, helpful, and super nice. We went for my birthday lunch/dinner around 4pm and it was pretty empty. I also got a free dessert! He recommended the chocolate brownie lasagna and it was pretty good. Really rich.

Wow! Who ever the staff was Friday night 05/19/23 was EXCELLENT! I brought my hubby for his birthday, I would HIGHLY recommend going on their website and reserving table there . I did for party of 2. Waited about 25 minutes around 7:30 not bad. Our server Claire (I believe) was on top of it! Super friendly and recommend the appetizer (so good) & I don’t drink alcohol so she recommend a yummy limeade drink she mixed with sprite (sooooo good) This Escondido location is good! Packed and food was delicious thanks again!

Had the never ending soup, salad and breadsticks. I love this menu item. It’s the only thing I get at Olive Garden. I never get tired of it. I get the creamy chicken soup. Sooo good.

The food was great as usual. Had the fettuccine alfred with chicken and the soup and salad. Then, added meals at the end with the buy any entrée and get a meal to take home for $5. The take-home meal came with reheating instructions and were just as good. Ate 2 dinners for a great price!

Pretty good food but kinda pricey thesedays. Our server was fantastic today. Yay Ashley W! Cost $145 for 5 to eat, with no drinks. Large menu with something for everyone. We always enjoy OG.

Only complaint was a fire alarm was set off and it seemed way to long to resolve the issue. Food was delicious and drinks were a great blend of sweet and fruit. Time for food to come out was quick too and server was professional.

Service was great, dinner was just ok kinda alot of salt. It was on a gift card,so shouldn't complain.

From the moment we sat down, our waiter, Jose, was friendly, charming, quick with refills, and willing to fix an issue with my meal, but the portion that the kitchen sent out was extremely small. A lunch portion, but I had to pay dinner price. I brought it to our waitter's attention, but he just joked about it and walked away. I'm guessing that one of your linecooks isn't very friendly, and our waiter had to sacrifice his lunch to make me happy. My chicken was slightly burned in the replacement entree, which has never happened before... It is likely time to do a secret shopper visit and have a manager retrain that linecook.

Not a good night at Olive Garden Escondido. I usually like Olive Garden but found this one mediocre at best. Upon walking in the place smelled horribly of sewage but not their fault as it happens. Sat at our table a long time before our server even approached us. Found him to be unfriendly and unattentive the entire time. Food was okay. Salad and bread sticks are always good and so was the calamari. We liked the chicken and shrimp carbonara but were not a fan of the chicken giardino. We we're excited that they had canolis and that they offered traditional, strawberry, and chocolate but to be honest they were the worst canolis we ever had!! We actually ran into friends and told them to avoid the canolis and they replied "We already know. They're horrible". Anyway the food is the food and we probably just ordered the wrong things but I definitely like the other Olive Garden restaurants better in terms of service

Wanted a simple salad and soup recently and remembered that Olive Garden offered this. It’s been awhile ( 3 plus years) since going to this chain and we had previously enjoyed this option. The soup was a fail. We had 3 of the 4 selections. The gnocchi soup had the Consistency of paste and no flavor. The minestrone and pasta fagioli were not great. On positive.. staff was good, place was quite clean.

"What a waste of calories", the wife says. Only two stars because the food presented in the commercials is waaayyy better looking than how the actual food tastes. Some interesting observations: There was no Cacio y Pepe on the menu. Thats OK. But, they did have a "Toasted Ravioli", straight outta St Louis. Interesting target demographic. And, despite what the commercials say, I never really felt . . . "like family". "I don't remember the salad tasting like this, it was much better before", I said to the wife. The pepperoncini in the salad was fresh, but probably the worst tasting pepperoncini I have tasted. Perhaps use a different corporate brand going forward. I think the breadsticks were about the same, except we did experience an overwhelming food saltiness that brings all of the flavors together. We got about two fork fulls into our main entrées after filling up on salad and breadsticks. The portions were very adequate, however the food just was not worth attemtpting to break through the wall for another bite. "Save it, maybe it'll be better as leftovers , , , possibly with an egg, or saving it for the dog", I said. The Gorgonzola Steak Fettuccini was very "gorgonzola-ie". Luckily, I asked for the parmesan cheese on the side. After dining, the wife and I talked about doing OG service by robot. Not that the service was bad . . . just not necessary. OG could cut costs and still deliver the same quality (to be defined) of food to the table after ordering from the payment/table-game tablet. A paradigm change. I likened this visit to similar popular corporate restaurant visits of yesteryear. Places that have picked up and moved away or other brand restaurants that are soon to close. The OG excitement has been lost from this customer. Generally and normally, large corporate restaurants would get 3 stars from me, because it is safe to eat. Not too sure on this one. The OG signature mint chocolates were still given at the end of the meal with the check, but only one per guest nowadays. Next time we see a commercial, we'll stay home and take out a steak. Oh, and BTW; the left-overs seemed much better the next day just without the hype of “feeling like family”. Dicks

I have a good and bad. I did a drive up order. As soon as i got there someone came right out to verify who I was and only waited about 5 mins to get my food. The waiter was nice. I have eaten at this Olive Garden before but inside. The food was decent which is why I returned but, this time a pick up order. The manicotti was definitely not good at all. The pasta was hard and when I got it. I thought they looked like enchiladas. Nothing like the appetizing pictures The kids meal fettuccine and spaghetti were both flavorless with very little sauce. I definitely will not be doing a drive thru order again.

This was a once great restaurant chain but has drastically changed for the worse. The food is now brought in as frozen meals, reheated, and has become virtually inedible. I'm sorry to say the lasagna was worse than any other I have ever had. The chicken parmegan was a hard over-cooked hockey puck of utter disappointment. My son and I couldn't finish, paid and left. It is hard to fathom that a majority of restaurants are forgetting that food needs to be prepared from scratch using fresh ingredients. However, commercially frozen meals which are reheated are more profitable. No restaurant should ever sacrifice their customers loyalty for greed. Sadly, restaurants are closing everywhere for this very reason.

Unbelievable!!! What is happening to Olive Garden!!! Food? cold 👎 waitresses attitude and customer service?Horrible!!!👎 Atmosphere?!! what happened to your nice smooth Jazz playlist?! too expensive that you needed to shut that down too?!! 👎👎 Me and my husband went to this location at Escondido last night (Sunday-not busy) around 8PM. let's start that the waitress came with no smile and heavy attitude asking if we want appetizers and I said yes chicken gnocchi soup please and he said that's not an appetizer 😳😂Okay! what do you call the soup and salad you eat before food then?!! alright then we ordered a chicken alfredo and a shrimp alfredo literally 2minutes after I swear it was a minute or two after we ordered I called him and said if I could switch to unlimited soup and salad one because I mainly go for their soup as their food quality been low for the past few years. He said no I can't help with that they already making it ... 2minutes?! seriously?!! Okay then he brought the foods and guess what, they both been cold and kinda felt if they just defrosted them🫩🤢 the soup was pretty cold too and we weren't the only table complaining about it. then he took them back and idk microwave it probably but taste like the worst pasta i ever had. I had Diarrhea and Nausea all night for this nasty food 🤮 will never go to this place again. we had a bad experience another time too but I was like maybe we should give it another chance but it looks like we just trashed our money and destroyed our sunday night.

I know this seems low but if I could give it less than 0 stars I would. The waitress was not there accept to give us our slop and powder drinks. The item on the menu I ordered was chicken shrimp carbonara and I had no idea the sauce was with bacon which I had no idea it had but all the other food my family ordered was less than mediocre. The drinks tasted like medicine. The least they could have done was warn us on the menu that it had bacon because of my pork allergy. I was nauseated from the food and the experience.
