With a party of 13 adults and two kids, we expected a wait for a table, and indeed, it took an hour, but it was understandable given our group size. The waitstaff promptly attended to our drink orders and maintained efficiency throughout. The service was excellent, and the food was consistently great. I've been dining here for years, and without fail, each visit has been an amazing experience.

We had a party of 13 and two kids and had to wait an hour for a table, however, it was understandable. The waiters were quick to our drinks and we're on time in every aspect. Service was great, as was the food. I've eaten here for years and every single time I've had an amazing experience.

The food was great as usual. Had the fettuccine alfred with chicken and the soup and salad. Then, added meals at the end with the buy any entrée and get a meal to take home for $5. The take-home meal came with reheating instructions and were just as good. Ate 2 dinners for a great price!
Friday 04/05/24 7:30pmService was good. I know with inflation restaurants have had to reduce the quality of their products due to cost. However presentation and how you cook the food are highly important. I hate complaining but it was horrible the Tuscana looked like it had been eaten out of already. No kale whatsoever and a bit cold. The bread was hard it was reheated it seemed like ugh ?. The salad was like buying a bag at Ralph’s. The eggplant parmigiana was hard and super thin almost as it had been repeatedly heated the food didn’t look delicious or taste delicious . So sorry but I’ve never had this experience before at OG . Won’t be going to Escondido OG again

We had a great lunch. The food was great. They should start people at 1 table apart when the restaurant is nearly empty.
The food and service were fantastic at this location!

We all loved it.I got the Shrimp Alfredo perfectly cooked sauce amazing.Also DAD got Spaghetti &Meat Sauce. The service was amazing.Yes I'm talking about you Olive Garden..We went to the Escindido Restaurant..Enjoy!@!!Vegetarian options: Eggplant Parm Minestroni Soupand Vegetable PrimaveraParking: Easy parkingKid-friendliness: Always kid friendlyWheelchair accessibility: They hv ramps
We came and were sat fairly quickly so that was nice. Our waitress was very kind and accommodating even though it was so busy. When we ordered our pasta, there was literal bugs crawling around in the pasta. We didn’t want to make it a big deal and scare everyone off but we deeply regret that now because it was absolutely disgusting. The bugs were small, round, and black. There were several in the pasta. The manager came to apologize, she said “I’m sorry that happened” and then left. We paid for what we did eat (breadsticks, salad, drinks) and left. Never ever coming back, I think the health department should check this out. Truly gross. Please take this seriously.

Service here was great on a week night. Fast refills, lots of breadsticks brought out that were very nicely seasoned. Just what you expect from an olive garden
