Your regular chain restaurant. I ordered the Chicken and Shrimp Carbonara which tasted decent. The Chicken & Gnocchi Soup was very flavorsome, would definitely reorder this. We had to wait for the breadsticks longer than usual. The server/waitress was professional friendly. Not much of a talker which is fine by me. Overall, it was a decent experience.

Wonderful, quiet place to stop for a late lunch. It wasn't busy but they only had 3 servers that day so we had a short wait. Our waitress was Wonderful! She took our orders and brought us our drinks and food pretty quickly. She was so nice and got our orders just right. She even put extra olives in the salad because I asked her to put the onions and the hot peppers on the side. How nice! I highly recommend this place on a week day. In the evening and weekends it is more crowded and the wait is a lot longer.

We came here for dinner and had to sit at the bar, which wasn't a big deal. Service was pretty good up until it was time to get to go boxes. We actually had to get up and ask for a box. But food was good.

Came here to try my local Olive Garden and it was great! I dined in my by self and the server was super sweet and tentative, checking on me constantly! My water was constantly getting refilled. Overall good service.I ordered the chicken Parmesan with spaghetti with the salad and bread sticks. The server offered to get me Alfredo sauce to dip my breadsticks so I ordered that too, didn’t know it was $6 for bottomless Alfredo sauce but totally worth it! The salad was fresh as always and the chicken was perfectly cooked! This Olive Garden did not disappoint! Will be back!

Celebrated my Fiancé birthday there last night. There was 6 of us and I gotta say our server Jenna A was amazing. She was able to take my Fiancé and his brothers since of humor and was quick on a couple of comebacks of her own. Thank you Jenna for taking good care of us. Food was great as well.

Fresh crispy salad. Very friendly and helpful waitress. I love the homemade minestrone soup with hot bread sticks. One of my favorite places to meet my family and friends when I go to Escondido for a visit. Can't go wrong at this restaurant.

Waitresses and hostesses were perfect. Food was a little subpar but let's be honest you're not there for the amazing food, you're there for quantity and atmosphere and breadsticks. We placed our order at 6 and it took 15 minutes to get an iced coffee that was pure syrup and 45 minutes for a chicken parmesan, most everything was slow coming out which didnt make a lot of sense cuz it wasnt that busy. I ordered the sirloin, midrare, it came out Bleu. Waitress was great did all she could and resolved it. However cleanliness was my big issue. The silverware and glassware were so dirty. My water had this weird film on the surface that was just not right. Silverware first came out dirty and one still had crusted food on it. Politely asked if we could get a new set. And I almost died laughing when a piece of trash fell out the roll and still the same as the first. Our Waitress said sorry and that the dishwasher sometimes didn't get it all, not sure that helped the situation but ok I guess

The service is allways nice. The pasta is good and filling. Wish there was more veggies or toppings for the price. The soups are ok but personally I like the salad more for my side dish, and the dessert is alright. It's a nice place for a quick date night

We were a birthday party of 20. Julia did a great job staying on top of everything with an amazing amount of patience and a great attitude.

I went here for dinner on a business meeting. Great place but you've got to be kidding me in the bathrooms. I worked in a janitorial business and spent years cleaning toilets every single day. Many toilets. Sometimes over 50 a day. I don't think I've ever seen urine build up like this. Olive garden, if you can't clean your restaurant so that your customers can have a pleasant, classy experience.. then hire a company to clean for you since you guys clearly aren't willing.
