It was a 25-seat luncheonette in Waycross, Ga., called The Green Frog and promised “Service with a Hop”. He went on to open the first Olive Garden in Orlando, Florida in 1982. Olive Garden continues to be the number one full-service Italian restaurant company in the country with more than 800 restaurants bringing Italian hospitality to hungry people around the world.

Delicious Italian food at a fairly reasonable price. Authentic style atmosphere. Soup and salad are delicious. Delicious appetizers to generous entrees and tasty desserts. Good for nice, cozy family or romantic dining.

I think Olive Garden in Springfield in amazing but I say that the Fettuccini Alfredo just doesn't have enough Alfredo. Usually Fettuccini Alfredo is covered in Alfredo sauce but this Fettuccini didn't have that. It had sauce at the top but not at the bottom. When i had Fettuccini Alfredo there it looked delicious but the truth is the noodles at the bottom were dry. There was completely no Alfredo at the bottom so I had to mix it but it was still dry. I think that the Olive garden in Springfield should but more Alfredo so u can get the taste of it. But everything else is delicious.

Delicious !

We've been to Charlie Brown's twice and enjoyed each time. The service was fast, we always eat around 5 P.M., so we weren't rushed or crowded. The wait staff was pleasant and helpful. We usually order prime rib and it was tender and done to our liking. The 8 oz. is too much for me, my husband and son eat the pounder. I really didn't need a knife, and the side dishes were plentiful. We can never find room for dessert, they fill you to the brim. It's a bit pricey, but no more than any other good steakhouse. We'll go back again.

great family restaurant

6 of us went and it was great. We called ahead, which I recommend, and were seated within 15 minutes. The food was all delicious and the service was good. It was very spacious and open. Definitely a family-friendly place to eat!!

New Kids On the Block?

Dined on 6-17-08, not quite 2 weeks after inital opening. Arrived at 6:15pm and was told wait was 60 minutes. Others came in and left for this reason. We waited and a table was available in 15 minutes. Decor was clean and new but the atmosphere was like a cafeteria rather than a restaurant. Bright lights, plenty of booths, a bit tight so they can pack 'em in. Noise level was high. Service was prompt - too prompt. Waiter came to our table to take away dishes prematurely and repeatedly asked if everything was ok. Felt we were rushed through the entire meal. Food was just ok. Chicken marsala with mashed potatoes was salty, meat was tender, but dish was just not as appealing as the photo on the menu. Salad was fresh, breadsticks typical Olive Garden. Best part of my meal was the peach iced tea, which I ordered since they ran out of raspberry. Desert was not special - just high priced. Would not recommend nor will not return. A good meal at a private Italian restaurant would cost the same if not less, but the food would be much better than at OG.
