But our oldest son volunteered to help drive his younger sister to college in Massachusetts in a couple of weeks if we can stop at OG on the way home.

I think of it like this: my husband can definitely grill a great quality burger. But sometimes I just want McDonald’s.

Totally -- I might actually offer to swap driving and move-in gig with DH. If so, I'm going to get a filet-o-fish sandwich on the way out and we can do OG on the way home. Sure, I can marinate tuna, grill it and make salade nicoise for dinner, but the filet-o-fish is best in its class.

I…love..Olive Garden! No shame. And yes I have eaten Italian food in Italy, I still love OG. Maggianos is cool. I like their spinach. But minestrone soap, salad, breadsticks, lasagna from OG warms my ❤️

And he came home from a break and was like "Holy sh*tballs you guys, I found out about this AWESOME new restaurant with Italian food! We HAVE to go!" And so we went out to Olive Garden. And it was Very Exciting. We ate at this new, fancy Italian restaurant, and a great time was had by all. WE DRESSED UP for this dinner outing!

Ahh, I look back at those days and laugh at our naiveté.

Op here I miss when I thought normal chains were “fancy.” When we went to the mall as kids we never ate in the food court because our mom would take us instead to the Ruby Tuesday in the mall or O’Charleys right outside it. I believed we were ballers for this.

Panda express!

We didn't have an OG in our town but we did have Bertucci's which we used to go out to. Same idea, they had unlimited Italian salad and rolls.

OG can be good. Easy to do their lasagna for crowd. I’m partial to pasta fagoli soup. Had it Few weeks ago. Go ahead and indulge every now and then. Yes there are better places but it’s still good

What is left to say, op? This is on par with that one pp not using avocado oil for her kids' grilled cheese sandwich breakfast! The travesty that you and she are daring to post something so disgusting on dcum, well, what have we become!
It must be the end of the world when people openly broadcast such deviant desires.

The thing I hate about OG is the decor and the massive chairs. I feel like I'm eating in a nursing home. Melting Pot has a similar issue in my opinion. It just doesn't feel special because it's so dated.

I haven't had Olive Garden in at least 15 years. Still when Posty went with Jimmy, I was dying to go.

Who is this guy? Never heard of him.

You've never heard of Post Malone? The most streamed musical artist for the past three years?

Never mind you. I cannot derail the thread with nonsense.

I remember going to OG with a younger friend right after I graduated from high school and SHE ORDERED ALCOHOL AND THEY SERVED IT TO HER!

I do love their eggplant parmigiana.
