Olive Garden Italian Restaurant 153 Andover Street, Danvers, MA 01923

"I love Olive Garden, great customer service and food is always really good."

"Olive Garden is one of my favorites of the chain restaurants. The food was great as always. The waitress was pleasant and gave great service. Portions were plentiful. I will definitely return."

"Called in to make a reservation. The table was ready when we arrived. ( which was Perfect cuz we were short on time) The food was good, the service was ok. Meh.. it’s Olive Garden."

"Came back to this location (153 Andover Street, Danvers, MA) after previous bad experience vowing I’d never come back here again. Big mistake. 2 years ago, I used the reservation option in the app and when I got there I was told by the woman at the desk it would be an hour wait. When I told her I had used the app and it said a 10 minute wait, I was told they don’t really use that at this location. I thanked her and left and swore I’d never come back. Why would you offer that option to potential paying customers and then not honor it? On 07/04/2023, 2:30p, for some insane reason, I decided to give this location another try. Got there, and no one on the desk. When someone did finally appear, she looked either high or comatose. Not a smile or a “Welcome to Olive Garden”, nothing, just how many? Someone else came over and took over for her and asked her if she wanted us and we were seated at a table in her section. Once she finally came to take our order, again, no smile, my name is, and I’ll be your server just, do you want appetizers? We said no and placed our order. Had to ask if the salad came with the meal. In the meantime I used the lavatory. No paper towels and had to ask another staff member for some. He reluctantly gave me 2 paper towels and I guess that’s all I was getting. Mind you, this was July 4th, the restaurant was dead. There were maybe 20 - 30 customers; most of the tables were empty. Once the food came, it tasted horrible. I ordered chicken Alfredo which tasted like it had been soaking in salt for the few days and both pasta and chicken were dry. Horrible. My guest ordered salmon, which was dry and overcooked. Neither of us finished our meal. Another thing is Olive Garden’s prices used to be fairly reasonable. I think, for the portions received, $50 is a little unreasonable for salad, chicken and fish, especially since they were inedible. Over the last couple of months I’ve gone back and fourth as to whether I should post this review or not. I finally decided today that I would. Ive had it with mediocre restaurants offering bad service, bad food and overpriced dishes and not being called out. Patronize at your own risk. I usually go to Petrillo’s in Peabody. MUCH better food and always outstanding service."

"Really good restaurant. I could find any public transportation nearby so you must go by car. They have a huge parking lot there! The place is really beautiful and comfy, the food is really good and the attendant was attentive and kind! There is wifi in this restaurant and individual restroom. You'll spend around 25-30 dollars each plate."
