Their salads are uniquely always so cold and crisp. Don't know how they do it but every Olive Garden I've gone to delivers this.

The food is excellent and the staff friendly. Our waiters and waitresses are always helpful when ordering. Often I have to make adjustments due to health issues and Olive Garden meets the needs deliciously.

5.49 for a small draft domestic beer....5.49.... are they flipping nuts no one charges that and because of that whether their food is good or not we're not going to be back unless somebody knocks on my flipping door and says guess what Olive Garden decided to wake up and charge 3.50 or 3.25 for a small beer.... I understand pricing but that's ridiculous absolutely ridiculous for a draft and they wonder why their business is suffering give me a break it doesn't cost very much to cook up some noodles and throw a little bit of red sauce on it so you make plenty of food cost profit on your meals you don't have to also kill us on the drinks that much....

We celebrated my Mom’s 80th birthday at Olive Garden at Exit 7 in Bristol, VA. It was an absolute fabulous experience! Our servers, Elizabeth and Melissa were very efficient and helpful, plus came in on their day off and worked our party 35 guests! From the initial phone call to see if this was possible to have it there, to the payment processing, it all went smoothly!
Thank you so very much!!

Very clean, at first we were very impressed, great service, very attentive and super quick with breadsticks and salads. This is where the glitter ends no longer all sparkly.
My fettuccine alfredo was brought out so quick and the soups, I had a little person in my head saying that was too quick, no way my food is ready I ordered like 5 mins ago.
The waitress brought the wrong soup on accident and when she swapped it out she mentioned all the food was already made on the line all she had to was grab it. Now this is where it gets interesting.
Back story I had just fasted for 35 hours for a surgery and I was so hungry I could have ate anything at this point. I knew to slow down and chew my food, but dang I was having flashbacks to 1999 when Olive Garden was a once a week thing for all the ladies in the family while the kids were in school, bad I know, but hey they caught on quick and learned to be sick on OG days. Sooooo, I paced and did not over eat.

About an hour after we left I felt super gassy, and almost nausea like. I shook it off, when we got home five hours later, i was feeling much worse. Mind you hubby dipped his breadsticks in the Alfredo sauce as well. He woke me up saying he felt a little sick and pooped his guts all out, within 15 mins I was on the toilet and started shaking, felt the heat rise up and just like that I was puking everywhere.

It was food poisoning, all the signs and symptoms were there, hubby had fasted with me that morning.
Replaying what she said I think all that food was prepped and sitting out & the alfredo sauce was bad.

Lesson do not eat here when they first open. Order something special.

Hubby says the sweet tea was good.
Overall one star for service and second one for salad ams sweet tea!

Our server was pleasant and attentive. The atmosphere was satisfactory and in line with other chain locations. I had chicken parmesan. The chicken was over cooked and a bit chewy. Everything else was about what you would expect. In a competitive industry attention to detail matters. I am equidistantly spaced from the Bristol, Kingsport and Johnson City locations. I have eaten at all 3. This one would be 3 of 3 overall.
