Olive Garden Italian - Conroe

Olive Garden is not one of my favorite places for Italian food. That said, this location tries hard. The service is always fast and friendly. Food is what you’d expect. Nothing extraordinary, but consistent nonetheless. Another thing they do here which I don’t much care for is they put a computer on the table and encourage you to order drinks, dessert, pay your bill, etc. I’m old school when it comes to working in a restaurant. As a former server, the last chance I had to impress the guest with my attentiveness and to thank them was when I presented the check. I feel that is diminished now with the advent of these computers.

I think they've updated the Alfredo sauce? I dunno, everything just seemed extra tasty. We sat next to the bar, I think we were served by the bartender. He was really nice! The young man who seemed to be the manager or at least the acting manager was super friendly and said thank you to us as we left.

Sat at the bar with my sister and ordered a endless soups and salad. Very attentive service and food was okay. The soups were not really all that great in my opinion. And the hot Irish coffee I got was barely bland also. Maybe my taste buds are going. The salad is really good along with a breadsticks and the to go salad at the end was a nice touch.

Most Olive Gardens get a 3 star from me. It's just consistent Italian food. This location gets 4 stars all because of the service. I hope I do not butcher his name but DeAnte stepped in when our server did not show up for work on time. His section was across the restaurant but we never noticed. Drinks always full, refills of soup on time....JUST AMAZING. We dined there on 3/17 around 4pm and sat in the back near the restrooms. If I have his name wrong let me I'll update my review.

Our server was great! But the food was dirty. And the toilet had an automatic sensor that was terrible/broken. It just always rinsed while I actively tried to use it! The problem only started when I tried to use the toilet. The bathroom doesn't smell pleasant at all. Food: 3/5
