online check in is your friend

This is the only OG in the lower mainland of BC. There are always lineups of between 30 mins and 2 hours on peak days and weekends. I get it, great food, consistent service and unlimited soup. The secret weapon for a party of 6 or less is the online check in. You get put on the list virtually and are usually seated within 10 minutes of arriving regardless of the crowd waiting. Love it.

I have to admit I didn't even know that there was an Olive Garden location in British Columbia. But after me and a couple of friends were close to the Langley location and someone suggested we go, I was glad we did. I will start with the only downfall during our visit to the restaurant - the time you are waiting for a table. Being Saturday, the place was super busy and we spent about 20 at the bar. For us, it wasn't a big deal, we chatted and had a drink or two at the bar after which our table was ready. The server was a really nice girl, attentive and polite and she was making sure we were being well looked after. She offered me a few options since I am veggie person and readily offered suggestions to my boyfriend who wasn't sure what to have. Our food arrived pretty quicky after we all had their standard salad and excellent bread sticks and everyone was happy with their meal. All in all, I have to say my experience was positive and I am looking forward to going there again.

You really can't go wrong with OG. If you just do the soup and salad and get a glass or two of house wine, you have a cheap lunch. I meet my husband their often for lunch and we do this meal quite often. As far as other pastas/entrees- it's really hit or miss. If you want a good Italian meal, you'll be paying $$.

My family and I find dining at Olive Garden to be such a treat. The food is wonderful if you like Italian and service is really good. It is modestly priced so we consider it to be a treat if you go for food and wine. The atmosphere is homey.
