Reviews for Olive Garden Italian Restaurant in Merrillville, IN

Food was just as good as I remembered! Was surprised there was no wait! Got the chicken and shrimp carbonara (changed my pasta... to rigatoni), and my husband had the mushroom dish, think it's new, I liked better than mine! But both were really good! Read more

Me and my wife had a spectacular experience. Our server, Marcie was excellent. She checked on us often, refilled our drinks,... bussed our dishes and was very friendly. It's become rare to have such great service lately but we will definitely return againsoon. The food was also very well cooked and our appetizer came out at an appropriate time in relation to our meal. If you go tothis olive garden, ask for Marcie and tip her well! Read more

Great restaurant. Me and the wife hadn't been here sense I went vegan. But we where surprised to find they had multiple vegan... options. I got angle hair spaghetti with lots of veggies , it was great. Plus you can eat the bread sticks if you have themleave off the butter. Great meal I would definitely recommend them if you want some vegan spaghetti ???? Read more

Went to dinner last night the waitress was super nice . I have no complaints about her . I was however upset that the food took... forever to come out . We were there for almost 2.5 hours and they were not busy . I asked a few times what’s up with the thefood and she said any min a couple times . When the food came out it was a super small portion almost like a lunch special. Iwas disappointed but at least I had plenty of time to each like 5 salads . Read more

I feel terrible for restaurants during covid… how do you fairly rate a not great experience when you know everyone is trying... their best. Either way, the wait time was 45 minutes despite being told much less. As we were taken to our table it was cleanat least half of the restaurant was closed (likely more). The server was trying hard but a bit flustered because he had a tonof tables. That means you wait for simple things like water and salad refills. The food was just ok, not great- but not bad byany means- but did come on time. I’d say during tough times this was an acceptable experience and I thank everyone forworking despite the difficulties.

We arrived after 7:30 PM on Thursday evening, and given a 20 min wait. Much of the dining room areas had only a few diners. We... were taken to the large elevated open area, which was very full. We experienced an unexpected reaction from the seater, whenasking about handicap accomodations. Another staff member heard the exchange and apparently went and reported it tomanagement. Management addressed the issue in a professional way. Our server was terrific. The food was plentiful and preparedwell. The dining room was quite loud, as we were surrounded by families with small children/babies. The experience started outoffputting, yet the staff interactions beyond that were great. I even made a point to let the manager know how great our serverwas. Read more
