Food was good. Breadsticks have been coming out way too salted. I've been going to Olive Garden since my teens in the 1990s. It wasn't until the past two or three years specifically frequenting this location that the bread sticks are just awful. I don't know why anyone would put so much salt on the breadsticks except to discourage people from ordering more and honestly knowing how corporate greed works I wouldn't be that surprised.
People used to come and even still come for the reputation of the breadsticks with limitless breadsticks and salad and soup.
I'm getting so fixated on this right now like I'm thinking of going back and removing another star like seriously what the hell Olive garden?
Service was friendly and nice but a little infrequent towards the end. Nothing worth complaining over really.
As far as atmosphere goes I mean it's typical Vineland millville atmosphere which is kind of meh to begin with.
The old people at the table next to me were cranky and honestly a little obnoxious about their distaste with how long it took for their server to come out to take the check.
I was less annoyed with my wait for my servers final check in then I was with the annoyance of listening to the bickering at the old people table to my left.
Otherwise it's an Olive Garden. Nothing like the old days at he Deptford location but almost as good as one can expect from a franchise in...
   Read moreStopped in yesterday Sunday Aug 7, 2022 for dinner with my daughter and two young grandsons. Our server was sweet & nice, but the food was horrible. I ordered chicken scampi, in the menu it said it's made in a creamy scampi sauce, it came out all dried up, like it was microwaved, with oil poured all over it, I guess to hide the dryness. My daughter got Tour of Italy, it came out also dried up. Barely any Alfredo sauce on the fettuccine. The chicken Parm was hard as a rock. I ordered a cup of hot tea, by the time I got my teacup...that I had to ask for, my tea was cold. The boys speghetti was ice cold. We ordered an appetizer that came out after we tried to eat our dinner, same as the bread sticks. They were super undercooked and not seasoned like other Olive Garden's. Very disappointed!! Big waste of time & money. I asked for manager, then told her I am not paying for my scampi, or the appetizer. She asked if I wanted the cooks to make me a new dinner the right way!! Absolutely not!! Maybe she should teach her cooks how to cook the food the correct way first. And not microwave the dinners either!! This place doesn't even deserve one star. We will never go back there again. Totally sucked...Oh yeah.... almost forgot....we were never asked if we wanted cheese on our dried out dinners either. And we asked for a bowl of cheese too for the bread sticks we never got, never got the cheese...
   Read moreWent to the Olive Garden in Vineland NJ today to treat my mother and kids to dinner, Such a Horrible experience !!! It was about 5:30pm and not busy. We were seated and forgotten!!! Didn't see a waitress or anyone for awhile. Once I found a waitress she stated she didn't know we were there. Really!!! Well we ordered our food. And then she disappeared Didn't see her for awhile, wasn't giving any bread, or drinks. Waitress was just gone. I went to front to ask for bread and drinks. Then our waitress reappeared with our drinks and our soup. Like I said it wasn't busy at all. I didnt know where she went. She wasn't very pleasant, she didnt really talk to us or seem like she cared at all. She seemed like she couldnt wait to leave. I'm a regular customer for olive garden, but this was the first, and last time I will ever go to the Vineland location. The service and atmosphere was horrible. She also up-charged me for Alfredo sauce for my kids spaghetti because he can't eat red sauce. I'm not trying to come off as if I'm complaining but it just was an overall bad experience. I still tipped her because I always tip but honestly that was the first time I ever felt like i didn't want to tip. I feel like the cooks should have gotten the tip because the food was amazing as always. Just the service sucked. She also began to clear our table why we were still seated and she...
