Olive Garden Italian Restaurant Concord NC

Larry Riendeau

It’s Olive Garden, so it’s great! Seriously, the restaurant was very nice. Appointed tastefully along the same Italian them as they all are. It’s smaller than most I’ve visited. We attempted to call ahead and make a reservation, but were informed reservations are only taken for large parties (we only had three people). Parking near the entrance is limited, with several spots reserved for delivery services and take out. A large parking lot is located to the rear and the sidewalk from there to the front is covered. The staff was friendly, attentive, and professional.

We have been coming here for a good year - we have had the best experience in the past. While they have done well, today was not the best experience. Our waitress was racist. At first she seemed kind in taking our drinks but when we began to speak in our native tongue she became incredibly rude. She haphazardly tossed the plates onto our table, broke the cheese container, and ignored us for 20 minutes. To our neighbors behind us she kept coming back to them, every 2 to 3 minutes and checking up on them. Being extra kind and going that extra mile... wanna know their race? White. I spoke with the manager and all she did was knock the main meal from our bill and switched our server half way. The second server was much nicer and was understanding. The manager could've done more when it came to speaking with her server but all the server did was laugh at us. Kind of sad to say but we will not be returning to eat at any olive garden if they are okay with hiring racist individuals.

Excellent food. Even during pandemic.
