    It’s not really the money, these places just seem like a terrible waste of <eating out calories>. And if you’re getting the lower calorie healthier option on these menus the food is just totally depressing. Always something like “here’s a piece of lemon, some leaves, and a skinless chicken breast.” I’m not paying someone to prepare that for me.

      Olive Garden is freaking disgusting to me. It’s normal for things like soups to be made ahead of time and kept warm, their food tastes extremely tortured, though. event the pasta is far more ‘meh’ than it should be.

      The only thing going for Olive Garden is the giant olives in the salad. Which promptly find their way onto my (or the nephew’s) fingertips for a little childish fun. (Unfortunately, the rest of the family actually likes OG. I don’t know why.)

        The salad is pretty bomb in general though. It’s the only thing I’d go there for, and thankfully they sell the dressing so you don’t have to, but for a place as not-great as Olive Garden the salad is impressively good
