Managed very well! We were told it would be a 10-15 minute wait but were almost immediately seated upon arriving. I overheard staff letting someone know that there were lots of people coming in wanting to be seated asap and they did such a good job doing so. We also got our food and drinks quickly. The server checked up on us very often. Great first time experience I’ll definitely be frequenting this place

Came on Monday at noon. Made a reservation online, less than 5 minutes wait time. Was seated quickly. Wheelchair accessible and handicap parking. Ordered off the lunch menu, 2 lunches/ 2 adult beverages/ and a Togo entre, less than $50 for 2 people. Meal also came with unlimited soup salad and bread sticks for both. Our server was amazing, very polite, very responsive, checked on us frequently. Would definitely 10/10 recommend, this is my favorite place to eat in Bakersfield. No complaints here.

Dinner is usually a wait especially on the weekends but the service has always been excellent. I’ve been coming to this location for 10 years and have always received great service and when I need something adjusted on the food they always go above and beyond to meet our expectations which is not hard to meet. Clean and the quality for being a chain restaurant is always met.
Shrimp Alfredo, ravioli and the salad is always on our tab! Never underestimate the power of Tabasco sauce on your pasta ☺️ parking can also be a little stuffy but usually just on dinner weekends.

We had an early dinner to Olive Garden today our wait time was less than 15 mins to be seated. Brandon our serve was an absolute delight and funny. He was very attentive even though it was very busy. Brandon has been 1 of the best servers we’ve had at any establishment in awhile. The food was amazing. Everything was perfect.

The Olive Garden seems to never disappoint! My favorite place to go when craving Seafood Fettuccine! They have the best with shrimp and scallops I always add extra shrimp and mushrooms! The endless salad bowl is a favorite as well always crisp and fresh and the bread sticks are an added treat! Fun fact: restaurants pay on average $0.25 per glass of Coke! Be warned nothing on their menu disappoints except the $4.00 charge for a glass of Coke so for 4 people $16.00 and it cost the restaurant roughly $1.00! I will order water from now on their is no reason to charge that ridiculous price.

This olive garden was a disappointment. First off, I ordered a Manhattan. The server asked if I wanted it up or on the rocks. I say up. She returned with it on the rocks, so I had to send it back. The server was nice, but our whole meal was rushed. We got our apps, salad & meal all in 4min and I couldn't enjoy it. My chicken & shrimp carbonara looked like soup (see photo) since they rushed the dish out & didn't let the sauce settle. Then, once our meal comes, our server tells us she's going on break. As a restaurant manager myself, how are you allowing staff to take breaks in the middle of a dinner rush on a Friday night? The girl who brought our apps didn't bring shared plates and got an attitude when I asked her to please bring us some so we could share (she never did we ended up using napkins) The bathroom stall was sooo small (and im not a big girl at all) I had to slide by the side of the toilet just to close the door & it was dirty. all in all, it's probably one of my worst experiences at an olive garden I've had. My partner enjoyed his meal, so that's the only reason it got 2 stars.

Very friendly and the food is exquisite... the soup refill is delicious and the salads with that cheese are dreamy... I recommend going with enough time to enjoy alone or it is always better with family and friends

I give it that rating because the managers attitude is very bad, he does not know how to resolve the situation with kindness, he is racist, it hurts, the food is good, but we will not return to a place where they make people feel bad, especially since they are older people, the girl The person who served us was very friendly, he made the bad time a little forgotten with his good service and excellent attitude, and I have eaten at the same chain in other cities and I have never felt discriminated against and even less so by someone who is supposed to provide a solution since the mistake is theirs

Very bad experience, I went to celebrate my birthday in the company of my family and there was an inconvenience and the manager was racist. The food is good. The lady who served us was excellent, very friendly, but we will not return just because of the attitude of the manager.

I came in during lunch special at 2 o clock and was put on a waiting list for a seat. Even when my name appeared first on the list they sat 7 people before me. When they finally sat me it was 3 so I missed the lunch special and they gave me a table when I saw 4 booths open I asked if I could change to the booth right next to me that a lady was cleaning and they said no because its waiting for someone. I just left at that point because my back was hurting and I couldnt sit in the wood chair.

We were seated at a different section than requested. We were told that our preferred section was closed. They started seating people in that section 4 minutes later. No wait staff yet for us yet. Then started filling up the rest of the closed section tables. In the interim, still no wait staff visiting us yet. Wait staff was all over the closed section now, but none for us. Decided to leave and mention to the host and hostess at front. She just said ok. Thank you. No apologies or anything. It was 11:00 AM and the restraint wasn t that full. Don t think we ll be returning. Over 15 minutes to wait for any acknowledgement is ridiculous!

I only eat here when its a friend or relatives birthday and Im requested to attend. The service was excellent especially for a Friday night. As far as food...if I want real Italian food Ill go somewhere else. Meatballs had water running out of them when they were cut into, no flavor, sauce watery. Typical olive garden c- food

Drink was good, salad full of onions & croutons, 3 olives & 2 tomatoes lettuce too small to eat with fork, tour of italy chick parm burnt chicken, paid extra for shrimp in fettucini shrimp burnt which made it taste burnt lack of alfredo noodles stuck to plate lasagna was good. Only reason I didnt send plate back was I started on it last and had prior engagement. First set of bread sticks hard and dry, 2nd set softer but still dry. Sad theres only 2 here & food was this bad. Guess I have to tell my not so good one in Las Vegas they got a leg up

Why is it called Italian at all???? Pasta terribly overcooked. A margarita with amaretto? A green apple sangria? A sad, sour Cesar salad with no Parmigiano as the only salad option? Is there a pizza? Only on kids menu ... and why they play Sinatra and that kind of music is beyond my understanding

Waiters stand around waiting for people to be sat at their tables. Meanwhile the hostess is making customers wait 10 minutes to be seated at one of the empty tables. We left after being seated next to the bus station instead of any of the better open tables. When we asked to be moved the hostess acted like she didnt understand what we were asking.

We had 7 in our party and requested a table. After a 15 min wait we were given a booth and told it would be 45 minutes for a table. Our server was friendly but busy so we had to flag her down a couple of times. Food was fast but fairly warm and the chicken was overcooked in all our dishes. Also a bit on the over salted side. It will probably be another few years until I return to any Olive Garden due to I ll forget how I didn t like the food and hope they ve improved.
