Olive Garden - Wilson

Olive Garden gives you a reliable expectation for Italian food no matter where you go. But here, Payton was amazing. She was patient, pleasant and attentive, we couldn't have asked for a better waitress. The food was very good, you won't regret stopping here for a meal.

Excellent SERVICE!!!! General Manager Tamara Hill is very personable, welcoming and friendly, she is very in touch with her staff and customers! Top notch, which is unusual and very hard to find these days! Thank you for bringing back the atmosphere that we all miss. Thank you also to our server Sirrhysa who is just as awesome!

I came to olive garden at 5:50pm today is December 24th 2021 I didn 't know what to expect as far as long waiting line or short line... But it 's extremely packed which is understandable considering it 's Christmas eve the woman at the register asked for My phone number to text me when a table is available to sit. She said the wait time is 35 minutes.. I don 't know if that waiting time is normal or not since this my first time at olive garden, so once I and my fiancé finally reached a table and ordered drinks one was mango strawberry iced tea it was extremely sweet like it had a lot of mango taste our food the wait time for the food we ordered, which was two different meals mine was shrimp scampi and my fiancé was chicken scampi it took olive garden so loooong to get us our food I started to fall asleep 'no disrespect towards company or staff '. I wish they was just a bit faster but either sacrifice speed with uncooked or overcooked food or long wait time with food cooked the right way. But quality of food was amazing definitely recommended to try olive garden in Wilson location I would of put 5 stars but issue is the duration of waiting in the lobby plus waiting when we got to our table... 4 stars till they figure out how to get food out to customers in a decent standard time without decreasing quality of food.

I liked the soup with the potatoes and meat in it. I created my own pasta dish by ordering their shrimp and scallop linguini with a different sauce on it, then adding crushed red pepper. I enjoyed it. I think the sauce was something like 4 cheese marinara... The spaghetti and meat balls were decent. I can't remember what cocktails we ordered or how much we enjoyed them.

This is an updated review. We have now been to this location 3 times. Once for dine in, twice for take out. First, our good: Our dine in experience was great. We were able to get seats right away, our server was enthusiastic, and the food was exactly as expected. Maybe minor, but we saw several tables get their entrees before their soup or salad ... so just be sure to specify if that's important to you. Our second take out was perfect. It was practically arriving at the car before I parked in the to go spot. Everyone is always, always, always very friendly. The order was accurate, everything was great. Our less happy experience from my original review: We enjoy Olive Garden and have gotten into take out service ... convenient to take home. We ordered last night at the Wilson location (2 people and arrived just prior to receiving the text to confirm we were there. We ordered around 715 pm, order didn't end up being ready until around 830+. Ouch! We called, I went in twice. Only explanation is that they system wasn't working. The manager who was on was extremely kind ended up giving us our meal for free, a gift card for $25, and 2 free desserts. I got home ... a 30+ min drive ... and found out that one of the two meals was completely incorrect (Ordered Rigatoni with meat sauce, meatballs; received Bowtie with some kind of spicy red sauce and chicken! . While I absolutely appreciate that things happen, and appreciate the efforts, it really wasn't a great experience for us at this location, especially after working a 12 hr shift and hoping to just pick something up on my way by.
