Never a disappointment. The owner is a true , and I adore him. The service is top notch, food is excellent and service is always prompt. Yes! I got cold hard breadsticks and really bad salad this last visit but Ive gone 100 times and never had this trouble. Im giving them 5 starts based on my average visit.

The Olive Garden sure saved the day! I didn't much want to go all the way to Chico, but my old pal Blaster Irongate's daughter was having problems with one of her professors there at the Chico State. There's nothing I like better than being able to lend a hand to a struggling student, so I went all in. I'll tell you, nobody can top the Olive Garden for consistently great pasta, and no matter which location you dine at the food is always a 5 star item. Oh, and we set that professor straight, believe me because we put the fear of God into him, he'll be teaching his coarse and no longer teaching his viewpoints, that's for sure.

Always a great experience every time. My family and I were seating quickly, and we're given a great table with a high chair for baby girl 🙏🏽👶🏼 best part is, we had a phenomenal server who was very polite and prompt with us throughout our entire meal. Always enjoy coming to our favorite restaurant in Chico, and glad our little one was accommodated just as much as we have been before she was born 😁. Thank you Olive Garden Chico your the best!

Tonight I was accidentally given the wrong order to go. Even though the receipt was correct, the food inside the bag was not. Which I did not discover until I got home. I went back to the restaurant and said what happened. Not only did the manager Vicky apologize for the mistake, she quickly got the correct order, but then went above and beyond! She also refunded the cost of the meal and gave us a $20 gift card!! I was blown away by the gesture. All I wanted was the correct order. Thank you so much!! ☺️☺️☺️☺️

I took my fiancee out to dinner the other night to celebrate six months of being engaged and I'd never been to an Olive Garden before. We definitely will be going back! After sharing some Fried Mozzarella (which was fantastic!) we both decided on the Tour of Italy and it did NOT disappoint! The food quality was excellent and flavor profiles were spectacular. Their homemade salad and bread sticks were also very enjoyable and not bad the next day either! I would highly recommend giving Olive Garden a try, especially for anyone who gravitates towards Italian food. It's a great night in the making!

Shamus Jennings

A great menu. The soup is excellent. I had a veggie meatball soup of some sort. My Shrimp Scampi was delicious. My girlfriend enjoyed her Shrimp Fettuccine Alfredo. Her salad was a family style portion served with tongs. The portions are very generous all around. The service was excellent, speedy and efficient. We had at least four different people visit our table, each of them providing quick and efficient service, ensuring we were never lacking and everything seemed to arrive as quickly as possible.

I always have an amazing experience at this location. Staff are always attentive, food is always good, and wait times are always fast. We usually go around noon and avoid the dinner crowd, so I can't speak to the business then, but the wait staff always work hard, and it shows!

John Roney

I just had the soup n salad dish. I was real impressed by how good the Kale, sausage n potatoe soup was, wonderful flavor! The salad n bread sticks were good as always. I've always like the salad dressing, red onions and croutons. The bread sticks complement the meal off. My waitress was so sweet, her smell was my dessert.

D
Dan Wade

This time we only had the soup and salad. It was filling and satisfying. Today I got the Steak Gorgonzola Alfredo. I got some extra Alfredo sauce and boy was it good. Plenty of noodles to hold that sauce with the steak. I would highly recommend this dish as would our waiter, Brandon, who recommended it to me.

Most restaurants are pretty average, but I was overly impressed with the service here. Every single employee was professional and concise. Our food was out in less than 15 mins from when we ordered, which stunned me. It was also delicious. Prices are normal for this day and age, but would definitely choose OG over any other sit down just because of the professionalism and cleanliness.

Love this place - you know exactly what you're going to get: great tasting food that won't break the budget. We say in the bar and had an appetizer, two drinks and a bowl of soup each. No wait because it was the bar, the restaurant party was crowded. Good service, a great after church meal!

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 My wife and I have been to a lot of Olive Garden Restaurants throughout California and various states. We both agree that this, by far, is the BEST Olive Garden we have ever experienced! Our waitress was friendly, funny and very attentive to making sure our dining experience was enjoyable. The food was off the chart! Very flavorful, very hot, and very satisfying! We live in Red Bluff and will be making the drive to Chico to quench our Olive Garden hankering from now on! Definitely was a very enjoyable evening....Thank you Olive Garden-Chico, Ca!!! Update: Still the best Olive Garden this side of Sacramento 😀

Compelled to write a review because we had such amazing service tonight from Grace. Came in for our anniversary and had 2 small kids and she went above and beyond and just made the experience so great for our entire family old and young alike.

We enjoyed going there. First time in years. Service was exceptional. The food was delivered in a timely fashion. Bill was $45 with tip. We drank water only. I had shrimp Alfredo. Hubby had 6oz steak and side of Alfredo. He loved the bread sticks and the pasta fagiole soup. I had same. Food was so good I forgot to take more photos. I recommend a trip there. We went on a Monday and we could hear each other talk.

Enjoyed a meal with family and friends at the Olive Garden in Chico. Service was good and attentive. They even boxed up our leftovers and allowed our teenage sons to order chicken fingers off the kids menu. We got them crayons.

4-6-19 - The service was great today. I had one of the specials they had, chicken parmigiana (chicken was literally about 12 inches long), and my husband had the streak and Alfredo. I tasted the steak, and the seasonings were nothing to die for but was good, but the chicken was great. Service was wonderful, and the waitress/server (Amanda) made sure we had a free dessert to share for our anniversary. For an appetizer, we had the loaded pasta chips. They were pretty good as well. Kinda larger than I expected. I could have used that as a dinner plate, lol. 4-13-23 - Today's service was excellent. Our server was great about everything. He made sure our drinks were filled at all times. He came frequently to make sure everything was up to standards. He packaged up our leftovers perfectly. It was a great visit. 3-6-24 - Everything was great, and the food was delicious. Everyone was attentive to our needs.

I had a wonderful experience my first time dining out at Olive Garden with my family. I give the restaurant we ate at in Yuba City 5 stars! Everything was delicious from the free salad and bread sticks to the meal I ordered . It was all perfect! Not to mention the customer service was spectacular.

Anita Servin

I had not been here in a long while, but it’s one of those places thats always the same, you know? I’m giving this place 5 stars mostly because of the service. Our waitress was so cool, she was a pretty person with a big smile and good energy. The kinda people I LOVE. We were kindly greeted and seated as soon as we walked through the door. As soon as we sat down we ordered our drinks and they were brought to us at the speed of light along with a salad and bread sticks. We ordered the Shrimp Fritto Misto for an appetizer and they came out HOT. I even told the girl, like wow are you guys always this fast? I was impressed. The salad was fresh, the bread was hot, and the appetizer was hot and crispy. I recommend you give that appetizer a try next time because it was good…. okay and the food came out quick and hot as well but at that point I was too stuffed to eat it and had to ask for a little box and take it home. I’m guilty of going HAM with the appetizers. Overall I give this visit a 10/10. If I end up going back in the future and they let me down I will update my review accordingly.

I eat here a few times a year. Everytime I do I receive great service and delicious food. Shout out to Arturo and Seth my past two servers who were informative on the drink and food selections, friendly plus they both serviced the table frequently. The pics of my food hardly convey how delicious they were.

Called in my pick up order. Was ready on time, and everything tasted good when we got it home. Zupa toscana soup was amazing as usual, and kids loved the spaghetti with meatballs. Salad was small and not that good.

S
Sandrine Masseron-Tiller

My only gripe is that the waitress added a tip to the bill when she was checking us out on the machine set at the table. Also a game charge which we never played...only used it to look at the menu. The charges were all removed once we brought it to the manager's attention.

J
Jesse Holley

This was a to go order, but when I take my family I insist on using Italian accents to really accentuate the atmosphere and bring out the true purpose for which olive garden was created, to allow middle class Americans to feel fancy. But not too fancy. Just fancy enough to put the gently laundered cloth napkin neatly in front of your collar. Always ask for a spoon to use alongside the fork when twirling up your noodles, that helps and allows you to show dominance to the servers so they know you know Italian customs and they can't fool you. In all seriousness, this is a pretty good olive garden.

j
john mootz

Food was good took a while to get our food but came hot and the waybit was ordered server was stretched thin so had to give him some credit but it took almost to the end of the meal tonget ketchup for the kids chicken straps and drinks ran out more often then not for a party of 12 of us

G
Gregor E

We found ourselves here recently for a family members birthday celebration. We were seated right away and the server was friendly, but they seemed a bit short staffed. I say this because it seemed like we had to wait a bit longer than usual in-between visits from our server. So drink glasses got a low, sometimes empty, and the endless pasta and bread sticks we ordered almost seemed inappropriately named. However, the company, the food, and the friendliness of our server all combined made it all worth the wait. The bread sticks were hot, the salad was cold and fresh, and the pasta was done just right. Overall it was a good experience and I would recommend a visit if you're in the neighborhood and mood for Italian inspired cuisine.

G
Greg Smith

We arrived after lunch crowd but still has to wait 20 minutes because they were short handed with most of the tables open. I could understand that if it were before lunch with employee no shows but by 1:00 pm they should have had the replacement servers on hand. We settled on the salad and soup for $9.99 because of the late seating. Soups were good, the salad was so-so with mostly iceberg lettuce and only filled half way to what used to be normal. Alway can ask for more on all the soups and salad, however, it was easy to see the cost factored into how much is served at a time to cut down on waste and preserve a profit margin. The high wages and the high cost of food does out a damper on keeping a restaurant in business.

C
Chris Marquard

Solid menu, always has the basic dishes with predictable taste and texture. Service is top notch, any time we have an issue they correct it on the spot. Nice seasonal rotation of specials, I especially like the all you can eat pasta. Good parking, sometimes they have a wait to get a table. Clean appearance, fast delivery. I am not a big fan of the bread, it is just "Okay".

A
An Old Email Address

We go here regularly, when I don't feel like cooking dinner. The entrée portions are enormous and the prices are just as high. Still, the staff are friendly and helpful and we always come back for a fast, simple pasta meal.

Dee Reynolds

It was our waitress first night She was good. But the drinks and food took a long time. The bar took an hour plus, they didn't have any clean bread plates and our salad was served in soup bowls. The waitress has no control of over those. They shouldn't put a waitress by herself to wait on customers.

Pretty good Olive Garden. The bread sticks were a little over done, but the fettuccine was delicious. The soup was what I expected which is exactly what I'd wanted that night. Very busy when we went and very loud inside. It was hard to visit with each other. The wait was around 15 minutes. Service checked on us multiple times which is always helpful. We got the last parking spot. Be careful when you pull in and out because a lot of times the line for In&Out will block one side of the parking lot.

Nice place for a good meal. Breadsticks seemed stale (I didn't try one until the end of the meal - then I asked the others in my group after the meal, and they thought they were stale as well), but the salad and entrees were great. Friendly and attentive service. Very clean.

I am so tired of restaurants where you can't hear yourself think, and have to yell at the waiter so they can hear what you want. Eating in a noisy environment is stressful. Time to spend some money on acoustic panels...they are not expensive and will make your customers happier. Food was typical, and large portions...no complaints here The waiter was attentive and polite

J
Jasmine Jimenez

Came in on a Saturday. Wasn't real busy had 5 in our party. Service was hit and miss. Our waitress took a long time to bring us out our order. Barely came back to check on us and I had ordered an entree to go she didn't ask about the items that went with I had to ask to ensure I got them. Took more than 30 mins for her to find change for the cash we have her. Mind you were talking 2 twenties back change. The price wasn't bad. But I swear it's hit or miss with all olive gardens locations. Sometimes they make you feel like you shouldn't be asking for more breadsticks or soup or salad. Sometimes the experience is great but it all depends.

K
Katie Templeton

There staff is always friendly,the appetizers are good and decently priced, and it's clean, soup and salad are great but that's about all they have going for them. The prices of the entrees have gone up, but quality has gone down. My son had the linguini demore and it tasted like just tomato sauce with some oregano. My husband and I shared the lobster stuffed ravioli, but it was dry and pasty. Did not taste like lobster, the sauce was okay, but a bit too sweet. Let's put it this way, we didn't completely finish our meals and we didn't want to take the leftovers home.

Friendly staff. Good service. Breadsticks were cold and hard. Gnocchi chicken soup had 2 pieces of gnocchi and 3 pieces of small chicken not worth the price. I didn't take a picture of my pasta but the meat spaghetti was good. My sons pizza was ok. Atmosphere is good for families and the restaurant is very clean. Food isnt amazing but decent for a quick lunch.

The food was very disappointing almost like they were in a hurry. Got the chicken and shrimp carbonara and got 2 shrimp and the breading on the chicken was soggy I should have sent it back but already took so long to eat just was ready to leave. The waitress was really good.

We went there for an early dinner on a weeknight. The place was empty but we were told it'd be a half hour wait for a table by the windows and only at the bar would we be able to sit right away. Because they had no servers. What?? UNBELIEVABLE. But we didn't want to wait so sat by the bar. A chicken pasta meal was 23 dollars!!!!! (Plus rax/tip) I mean we were not at the Ritz. We ordered it and shared it. It was pretty good. The chicken strips tasted kinda weird, sort of rubbery. The pasta was good though and the gal who served us was really good. In 1019 I learned olive garden removed my favorite dish from their menu and nothing else even comes close. So we hadn't been there since. I had hoped to see it back on the menu but no. So I won't go back.

The food was not good I wouldn't even give it to my dogs. The amount of food was small for some reason. MY father and I got the 6oz sirloin was over cooked burnt when ordered as medium. Was as if marinated over night.

The greeter was very nice and extremely helpful. The waiter was nice but it took awhile to bring things I asked for/needed and there were not very busy at all so not sure why the long waits for each thing. I was excited because I hadn't been able to come eat for a while because I am not local and we dont have an Olive Garden where I live. They were doing the never-ending pasta bowl, yum!! They also offer an option to take a bowl home for $6.00 with the purchase of any entrée so I took advantage of this option as well. The salad was great as usual. I didnt eat the breadsticks at the time saving them for my pasta so I could dip in my alfredo sauce which ultimately did not happen as my pasta had very little sauce and I had a lot of "dry" noodles. This was very disappointing but honestly the worst was when I started eating my pasta. I ordered the fettuccine alfredo and also added the never-ending sliced crispy chicken to my pasta. There was VERY little chicken on top and as I was eating, I couldn't figured out why my pasta tasted "off" and then I realized that it actually tasted more like macaroni and cheese flavor as opposed to alfredo. This was a day I decided to give myself a treat, sadly I left there very disappointed and felt like I paid way too much for what tasted like dry macaroni and cheese with a few slices of chicken. I really hope this was just an "off day" and that there food is in general, still good. This day, not good 👎👎

Ordered the sirloin for lunch. Medium. It came rare. It was so tuff I could barely cut it with the butter knife they gave me? We ran out of bread sticks? Unlimited? Not if you don't cook enough. Asked for a refill. Didn't get one until the bill was paid. Our waitress wasn't around until it was time to collect the money then she wouldn't go away? She needs to learn how to work to get a tip. They're not automatic. The food was yuk.....oh well chalk another lost lunch to olive garden.

Yesterday my roommates and I where evacuated from a fire, we didn’t have much time we just grab what clothes we could find, grabbed our animals and left. We went to the hotel right across the street from this restaurant. We decided to go get dinner from this place but when we walked into the restaurant no one said hi to us no one even looked at us. We were not the best dressed but even if we looked like homeless people that is absolutely no way to treat customers. There where 2 lady’s at the host stand one of witch was turned around from us and her whole butt crack was out and when I tried to tell her she turned around and laughed at me and my roommates, absolutely will never step into an Olive Garden again. We ended up going to the Applebees next door they sat us immediately they where so nice checked on us constantly and even asked if we where from the fire and gave our table a free dessert because we had to evacuate, left a 50$ tip on an 80$ order. Do better Olive Garden 😡

This restaurant is so dirty. Spider webs and dust everywhere. I can imagine how the kitchen looks. Look closely at the decorations that you sit by.

All of us Cousins there after a funeral for our 104 year old Aunt Tena. 11 of us showing up at 7:20pm with NO reservation. Only had to wait for a table large enough for our party approximately 5 minutes, enough time to wash our hands for dinner. GREAT service, as we were probably a bit confusing to the server. He was GREAT!!! AND we all needed that time at Olive Garden to sit down, have some wine & a delicious dinner. Thank you!!!

I recently went back to this place, We were seated promptly the service was good (very polite server) I order the Salmon and I substitute the Brocoli for Asparagus and what I got look like green beans. I get better asparagus done in Raley's what i going on wiht the Products we are in a farm area were is very easily to get top of the line produce. also way only Broccoli as a vestebalve choice? squash and carrots are not bad maybe even potatoes. just wondering I will send this to the direct email that was provided but still for the price maybe I should just stick to cook at home. The place "allowed you to eat on the bar" can't have reservations. And I guess training people to be courteous is unheard of food is great but this place is no longer my 1st choice when in comes to eat out

food was great. however at the end when me and my mother were done eating our male server came up to our table and started complaining about tariffs. even went as far as to start talking about elon musk stock is going down. i immediately disclosed to him that we were not there to talk about politics. but rather there to enjoy a nice meal. he turned around and started walking away while mumbling something under his breath. with this kind of service i doubt we will be returning.

I contacted food poisoning from this Olive Garden. Me and my boyfriend went in at 9:40pm, I understand we were 20 minutes from the closing time, but if they didn’t have the recourses to give us fresh food at the time we requested to sit down we should have been turned away. It started with the lemon in my water that had such a rotten taste I had to switch with my boyfriend, then when I got my chicken gnocchi soup I noticed there was no gnocchi in it and it looked like spinach had been chopped up and put on top. Almost as if they dumped the bottom of an old filled soup pan out and half of the ingredients weren’t at the bottom. After my FIRST FEW BITES I got a stomach ache and put the soup to the side to wait for my pasta. By time I took 2 bites of my pasta I was running out of the restaurant to go vomit in the parking lot. I finished none of my food. My boyfriend was still told he had to pay for his because he still ate his which wasn’t a big deal, I understand that. But the second we had got seated our server had a bit of an attitude clearly because we came in late. I work at a place that has a closing time too, I understand. Understanding that frustration tho, I still would never poison a customer just for coming in late no matter how mad or busy I was. I wouldn’t have been so upset if this didn’t cause me to miss work from the sickness I got immediately after ingesting the food here. Please take better care of your customers, I got sick because your employees wanted to rush to close. This review would never be here if we had just been told “it’s too late for us to make fresh food.”

I love Olive Garden, my family and I come here weekly or at least by-weekly and typically have an amazing experience. We love the staff and family atmosphere. However, last night, on the 18th I unfortunately experienced something upsetting. A manager, named Josh (based on his name tag), was incredibly rude to one hostess and server in particular. I found it strange and honestly upsetting the way he was degrading one of them. The way he openly belittled and spoke to his staff was inappropriate and disturbing and very unprofessional. Especially for someone who is in a leadership position. I don’t want to cause much of scene. But I really hope that this Chico Olive Garden will consider their management team. As a valued and loyal customer, Much love.

I spoke with the manager on the phone and she was extremely disrespectful. I was trying to seek out services to either book out the restaurant or, as she told me, book catering services for a large group of over 200 people and she literally hung up on me mid phone call which I find extremely disrespectful and no customer should have to experience that.

Went to Olive Garden expecting a nice dinner, but it was a total letdown. We spent $87 for two people and didn’t even get refills once — not on drinks, not on breadsticks. The food tasted bland and greasy, definitely not worth the price. To make it worse, they sat us right next to a loud kids’ birthday party even though there were plenty of open tables elsewhere. It felt like the staff didn’t care about the experience at all. For what we paid, we could’ve had a way better meal anywhere else. Definitely won’t be coming back

The salmon was burned on both sides, but the worst part was when my wife saw the white-haired hostess leave the restroom stall and go straight back to work without washing her hands. Completely unacceptable and raises serious concerns about hygiene. The only good thing was our server Brandon — he was polite, attentive, and provided excellent service.
