Ryleigh Is Fantabulous, sweet and patient and helpful with ordering our meals. The food is fantastic! Foods saucy where it needed to be, salad with everything and drinks mighty refreshing. Thank you for a grand evening <3

Olive Garden provides great soup, salad, and breadsticks. The waiters are friendly and efficient, and the restaurant is clean. Update: My husband, four of our grandchildren, one of our daughters, and I ate at Olive Garden, in Lufkin, again tonight. It took 20 minutes for us to be seated, and there were several large parties waiting. A customer was smoking outside of the restaurant, directly in front of the door. Every time the door opened, a cloud of strong cigarette smoke blew into the restaurant where we were waiting for a table. It was offensive, especially since one of my grandsons had surgery to remove a tumor from his nose and sinuses last summer, and the smoke bothered him. The smoke almost made us choose another restaurant for dinner. The Confetti moscato was sweet and fizzy. The bread sticks and alfredo dip were plentiful, hot, fresh, and delicious. The salad was crispy, well-chilled and customized to order. The minestrone was hot and well-cooked. My husband enjoyed a Tour of Italy. Our daughter and I loved our chicken Parmigiano entrees. Our grandchildren enjoyed kid's meals of spaghetti with tomato sauce, shells with meat sauce, and fettuccine alfredo. The restaurant was clean, including the restrooms. Our waiter was polite and informative. The food was delicious. Recommended: Chicken Parmigiano, minestrone, tossed salad, breadsticks with alfredo dipping sauce, Tour of Italy, and Italian donuts!

We stopped in for lunch and this place never disappoints. Toni did such a great job with service and was so very friendly. I am absolutely addicted to the dipping sauces for the breadsticks 😊 and we love the take home selections. Our food was great, hot, and we did not wait long. We will definitely return.

We dined to celebrate a Birthday. The food was great and the service was excellent. The atmosphere is always nice at the Olive Garden restaurants.

Food was amazing and our waiter, Pilot, was lovely and very attentive. We got chicken Marsala and chicken margherita.

Lovely atmosphere and great food! Our waitress was very friendly and accommodating. My 92 year old Mother said she had not been there before so I was happy she enjoyed herself!

Got chick parm. Food & service was OG average. I have had bigger chicken cutlet breasts at other OGs, however.. They brought out a nicely stuffed salad bowl, though. I'd come back to this location.

This review is for our server tonight Kolvin. He is very attentive and has a very good personality. He made sure we are taken care of. We had a great dinner.

Lots of empty tables, not enough servers. Had to wait and then we were squeezed into a small table at the bar.

The salad was marginally ok. The bread sticks were tough. Overall it was a disappointing lunch. In retrospect I should have voiced my concerns to the manager. Won't be back anytime soon.

Staff is not as trained as they could be. The staff comment above have little to no knowledge and information on the food that they are serving. They are starting to become more of a turn-and-burn establishmen. The wait staff make me feel as if they are ready for us to go once we sit down.

We wanted pasta last Friday so there we went. Not very busy but the waitress seemed hurried and talked a little too fast. Still, she was attentive and provided good service. Soup was hot but watery, Zuppa Toscana. Salad and breadsticks were good. Mains were good, hot, and portions were larger than last visit. Surprised by the amount of shrimp and scallops in my dish, Seafood Pasta Alfredo. No complaints about the Tour of Italy. Leftovers enough for another meal. My rating system: ⭐️ = Tried it/Visited ⭐️⭐️ = Average/May return ⭐️⭐️⭐️ = Good/Likely return ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ = Very Good/Definitely return ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ = Excellent

Pro tip:when you go in ask to sit anywhere but in Heather’s section. I don’t think customer service was anywhere on her resume. Her crap attitude spoiled the meal. Food was good but took forever to come out and if you wanted a refill good luck. I could have driven to Houston filled up my cup and come back before Heather asked if you needed one. Honestly the whole vibe in there was bad from management to server. Hey corporate!! May be time for a revamp cause this visit sucked.

Are waitress only checked on this three times only brought me one drink we had to wait 20 minutes for it to go box and ask three people and one was a manager and they did not bring us a box. They only refilled my drink once and it was the wrong drink and there was no ice and she said she was going to bring me some and then went to another table. We never have a problem with the food but most of the time when we go the service is lacking. Also a bunch of the staff was in another area having a party of some sort and didn't even pay attention to the clients that they had in the restaurant

My family went to Olive garden on Sunday August 31, 2025. We were super excited about going until the waitress tried serving us dirty plates to eat our salads on. We started to get up and just walk out then, but we had already ordered food. I had asked for a refill on my drink and waited over 5 minutes for a new one. The food tasted like it was a rush job and wasn't very appetizing as well. It is also overly priced. Needless to say we won't be back! I can make better at home!!

I would like to say I don't usually do this, but the service here was terrible today! To start my sister ordered a mango smoothie and finished and then ordered a water and the server pour the wat…

I visited this location with a friend. The service was great, our waitress was very professional and attentive. The 1 star review is due to both of us getting food poisoning. The second we stepped out of the restaurant, we both had severe stomach pain and diarrhea all night into the next day. What's interesting to me is that I was walking out of the restaurant, I overheard someone who was also walking out complaining about stomach pain. This restaurant needs to ensure they are following food safety precautions to avoid this from happening again. On this visit my friend had a chicken parm and I had spaghetti with meatballs. We both chose the smaller portions. We both drank peach ballinis*. I will not be returning to this location.
