Was it that their portions were large, or was it the fact that the food was crappy. Honestly I think I’ve been there twice and you’d have to subpoena me to get me to go again

Olive garden is grossly overrated. I make WAY BETTER spaghetti, and a lot more of it for cheaper. Brown the meat, dice and sautee the onions and diced garlic, preferably yellow onions, season all that on medium low for a while to cook out the fat, boil the spaghetti, add sauce to the meat, I like Prego if I’m feeling lazy with oregano, a little bit of garlic salt and whatever else you like, by the time you’re done screwing around with the meat sauce, drain the noodles and stick them in a casserole dish, dump the meat sauce on top, mix it a bit and cover the top with about an ounce of Gouda cheese, and bake it on low heat in the oven just long enough for the cheese to melt.

Not to toot my own horn or nothing but my spaghetti is pretty mean

“ Customers could enjoy as much pasta as they could stomach….”

Worded correctly. Not a big Olive Garden fan, but their soup & salad deal is good.

In college, we got take there for free for some organization, and I had never been there before. I have never gone back since, free or not.
