Restaurant Review: The Olive Garden in Bakersfield, California

11
I love The Olive Garden restaurant! And I love everything about it, not just the food but even the way its decorated. It's just a comfortable place for me.

Through the years, my family and I or my friends and I have all ended up at The Olive Garden. We go there to eat and then we sit and visit, sometimes for several hours. We've become familiar to the servers and sometimes they become new friends. Which makes your service that much better!!

One of my favorite foods at The Olive Garden has been their eggplant parmigiana. It tastes yummy. Breaded, then fried slices of eggplant with sauce and mozzarella cheese. It comes with spaghetti but you can ask to substitute any of their side dishes for that at no additional cost. You also get the all-you-can-eat soup or salad and bread sticks. I think the eggplant is one of the cheapest things on their menu. I am unsure of the exact price because its gone up in price quite a bit from when I first started ordering it years and years ago. It used to cost only $4.75 but that isn't the price anymore!! When you get the lunch size, it's cheaper and has two slices of eggplant, at dinner, the price is more but you get four slices of eggplant. I have been able to order the lunch size at dinner time but you have to ask and sometimes they don't want to do it.

Another menu item that I like is the chicken parmigiana. It's just like the eggplant except that it is chicken. It's very yummy. One menu item that The Olive Garden took off their menu a few years ago was the lunch chicken parmigiana sandwich. It was so good and I miss it, boo hoo!

Another favorite menu item is the fettuccine alfredo. The Olive Garden has the best alfredo sauce that I have ever tasted! I think it must be loaded with butter and cream and calories because its pretty close to heaven! When I or my daughter order the fettuccine alfredo, we substitute the angel hair pasta for the fettuccine noodles. We just like the smaller noodles better. And you absolutely have to order some of the alfredo sauce to dip your bread sticks into. Oh, I think that I am drooling....
