I Finally Tried Olive Garden...

[@bakedalpaca9299]

Olive Garden is like the Italian Applebees😬

[@DarrellAnderson.]

But it’s still good ❤❤

[@TheOneKeyToLife]

Perfect way to put it

[@m.r.3674]

Anytime I ever went I just got the breadsticks and salad

[@klilbit]

Exactly!

[@Tasty_Tango45]

Why does everyone hate applebees I’m trying to figure out what I missed..

[@Gomer-lw7rd]

FYI to those who don’t understand the reference at the beginning , in Northeast NJ we have mom and pop pizza joints basically at every corner that are 10/10 all day. Granted I moved away years ago , going to Olive Garden would be the = of someone from texas going to Nebraska to eat Tex mex

[@jiggetyjes]

Why’d you have to bring Nebraska into this?? 😂

[@DevDoesAThing]

@@jiggetyjes nebraska catching strays for no reason xD

[@iNeedFoodStamps]

i’m glad you said texmex and not bbq… cause we only have like 3 GOOD bbq chains/restaurants here that are good.. everybody in texas knows it’s better to just fire up the grill in the backyard ourselves.

[@envycaution5002]

after moving to florida i miss My mom and pop shops from fort lee etc

[@ricodog3652]

I package frozen food for a living. I have a customer that makes a ton of food for Olive Garden. It’s mass produced in factories and delivered, reheated and served in individual restaurants around the country. You’d be surprised how many popular chain restaurants are just reheating meals.

[@nawal10]

Anyone who didn't already know this is unintelligible lol

[@talkswithcookie]

lol it’s a chain restaurant 😂

[@trollzone1]

Olive Garden makes all their sauces fresh…

[@luosv4387]

I been going through a lot of mental shit bro (a bit older in college/away from home) wtvr, but the other day I ordered Wing Stop and looked up the flavors on KZbin to find something new to try and came across your videos and it brought some peace watching these food reviews! It's crazy cause today I seen you had a Wendy's review so I ordered mines and put ur vid on like it was a flick and ate 🤣 keep doing what ur doing man! It's doing something!

[@KingSchratz]

I appreciate you family.🫱🏾‍🫲🏽

[@Mrfatstacks]

Age ain’t nothing but a number bro. Keep grinding bro and never stop dream

[@Punjabi430]

Big ups for not being extra and dissing it for no reason!

[@jasmonique615]

I traveled to Europe and stayed for 3 weeks. I went to France, Spain & Italy. I could never look at American Italian food the same way 😅 once back in the states. We have a huge Italian population and a little Italy where I’m from, but even the more authentic restaurants are more American. Europe’s overall food was completely different and in a good way. Amazing delicious food!!

[@sidsrivastava6987]

Best food I ever had in my life was the 5 days I spent in Europe last year

[@nawal10]

So they do flavor their food over there? 😂😂

[@agentcarmichael]

That zuppa toscana smacks if you ever go back.

[@chocolatemilk9102]

that’s literally the best thing on the menu. Unlimited Soup and salad and zuppa toscana every single time

[@capricornqueen6916]

I've never had olive garden's zuppa toscana but I make my own. It's crazy bc I made that for dinner last night and eating a bowl right now

[@courtneylove9403]

All depends who's cooking it SMH

[@chocolatemilk9102]

@@courtneylove9403 tastes the same everytime i go LOL

[@JokeStEr616]

"Is that a damn carrot?" lmaoooo

[@empressink_]

I used to work here and getting to take home so much free food was always the best part. I loved the lasanga fritta and the chicken alfredo with angel hair pasta.

[@The_Ohio_Boyz]

Do a series called "Bang for your buck" where you try the same food from a few different places and see which is the best food for the $$$

[@labrea5399]

Hi Seth my name is Laura and I like this idea

[@drewd2]

Yes, please. Also, I'd leave to see him rate the elites out of all of the 10/10s he has given. For instance, is the Olive Garden breadstick or Texas Roadhouse bun better?

[@rbintliff583]

I’m born and raised in South Jersey, so we never went to chain Italian restaurants. I moved to Tampa a year and a half ago, and while there are some really good Italian restaurants they aren’t as plentiful as NJ. I find myself going to Carrabba’s when I’m craving takeout Italian that’s close by and I think it’s definitely a step up from Olive Garden. Would you be willing to try Carrabba’s and compare to Olive Garden? Enjoyed the video!

[@KingSchratz]

If I can find one, I will definitely give it a shot

[@frankcastle4213]

Carrabba’s is easily one of the best chains. Excellent recommendation for a chain.

[@helloluv9627]

​@@KingSchratz I believe there's one in East Brunswick

[@kylez3845]

I personally love mom and pop Italian restaurants as well, but sometimes my friends and I go to Olive Garden just for something simple (and of course for drinks haha!)

[@Whspring]

1. Their best soup is Zuppa Toscana 2. Their Alfredo sauce us made in house daily, how do I know? They messed up the sauce once and served it to me. I asked how it was prepared improperly and they the sauce broke when the cook was making it with the cream and the butter due to high heat. 3. I need to know what jarred alfredo sauce you eat thats better? Not being funny but i genuinely need to know because I would use it vs making my own at home from scratch lol

[@zennihilator3724]

Only real G's know that's a Brandon Roy jersey.

[@anthonypoche2195]

Olive garden makes all their soups and sauces daily everyday nothing's Frozen they make the lasagna everyday the only thing that's frozen is a chicken parm that you're eating

[@thejokeisinyourpants]

Not true. Meat is frozen then thawed. Vacuum sealed. Only the soups and sauces are in house from scratch. Almost everything is microwaved. Lasagna is already prepared, reheated.

[@chrisschnepp7042]

If you look it up. The real Alfredo comes from Italy. Ita only homemade noodles and butter. What America and all other countries are use to whats called, americanized verison. The original restaurant of Alfredo is still standing and operating, that's where the name came from.

[@KingSchratz]

I feel like I said that but yes, you are correct

[@drewd2]

I know what good Italian is, we have some here, and no Olive Garden isn't the greatest, but it's not bad. I will say that it's HIGHLY dependent on what you get. First, you have to get the house salad. They have a good Italian dressing. Second, they I don't think they have it anymore, but they had a really good mushroom and cheese ravioli. Their tortellini is good, too. But I think if you go there and get basic stuff like fettuccini alfredo it's going to fall short. Olive Garden is really known for it's salad.

[@msbellmonibellamy786]

The lasgna fritta for appetizer and zuppa toscana soup with the sausage, kale,and potatoes is good.

[@Ginasno1]

I crave the soup salad and breadsticks. My friend turned me on to ordering a side of Alfredo to dip the breadsticks in. Also the toasted raviolis. You gotta just take it for what it is. No one goes expecting authentic italian. Its good for what it is.

[@luxx2682]

They were generous with that dipping sauce for the breadsticks lol (which isn't bad, I love when a resto is generous) and not doing paltry little portions designed for instagram... I totally agree on the breadsticks. I also love their bottomless salad, the dressing may be a bit salty for some but it's my jam. The rest of the food isn't bad like you were commenting, just not great. I will have to get takeout though for a nice bag of free breadsticks!

[@kawaiiowen]

Agreed! The breadsticks are fire and nothing compares to them, chain restauraunt wise.

[@Storm_tha_Abnorm]

I used to eat at Olive Garden often in the late 90’s early 2000’s but I got the Chicken con Broccoli or Pasta Primavera, mussels in wine sauce. Not the stuff you ordered.

[@Hunnibee2660]

You are correct about the alfredo sauce. An ex employee confirmed that its jarred sauce with added spices

[@pmaximus5659]

You’re always giving facts!

[@dido6261]

If you're in northern NJ, you gotta get to an Uncle Giuseppe's. I'd love to see your take on their prepared foods.

[@mikegriff5894]

Will you ever do food trucks review?

[@beecampbell5903]

Fair review. Those breadsticks never fail.

[@pandapo7542]

I had almost the same reaction to my first (and last) try of olive garden. The pasta was okay, but the chicken was tough. The soup just tasted like generic noodle soup to me. The breadsticks were decent, but definitely nowhere close to a 10 for me (more like a 6). The lasagna was very disappointing as I've had frozen ones that tasted better. Your take on the cake was spot on. As someone who doesn't like coffee, it wasn't the best for me. Overall, olive garden is very mid and I would rather spend money elsewhere. Not to say that it was terrible, but not worth eating again.

[@MrCarlorr]

Unless its a really good pizza place I can hardly bring myself to spend money at any place like Olive Garden. Its so easy to make your own better and fresh.

[@FloraNovax3]

I get very few things from here lol. Their Alfredo is amazing…I could drink it lol. Chicken Fritta Fettucine Alfredo, Calamari and baked ziti fritta is an amazing trio .. I get it every time lol 6:46 there is notttttttt lol that’s crazy 😂

[@macgeek808]

It's currently popular to criticize Olive Garden. However, in my city, none of the local "authentic" Italian restaurants are better. People act as if visiting those places will provide an authentic Italian experience, but the truth is, they don't. Maybe it's different in places like NY and NJ, but price is also a consideration. For example, lasagna in the small local Italian restaurants are around $30. On the other hand, Olive Garden's Zuppa Toscana, which is extremely hard to find anywhere else, and some of their specialty pastallent. However, their chicken parm is not good. restaurants cos dishes are excellent. Olive Garden is not that bad. People just love to hate on chain restaurants. It is usually the ones that hate on chain resturants are the same ones that love Taco Bell and Starbucks. lol

[@beealexander53]

Fair assessment. I like them for a quick lunch. It can be salty and I like the tiramsu as well.

[@atonus9606]

Oh heck yeah. Love the Blazers jersey. Repping my hometeam here. Also the Zuppa Toscana is the best soup there imo. I make it at home often.

[@ranwilk42367]

I’d love to see you get food from Maggianos right down the road from that Olive Garden . As far as chain Italian goes to me Maggianos is the best . Hopefully you’ll do Maggianos in the not too distant future.

[@KingSchratz]

Great suggestion!

[@deanawells4395]

If you sit in the restaurant they will grate fresh Parmesan and pepper on your food which makes everything better there.

[@sq1ne]

"Can y'all not be weird when I say this?" 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@ThePowersinYourHands]

i love olive garden the cheese sticks are my favorite and I always get the tour of Italy. its so good.

[@TyyTheFlyGuy]

My gma likes them, it's not really my thing as I usually go to legit italian spots. I enjoy their chicken margarita dish (it's pretty low carb with a good amount of protein) or the soup salad and breadsticks- and the soup I get is the chicken and gnocchi (which is bomb). One of my best friends who was my drummer for over a decade in metal bands always got the taste of italy, it's a lot of food. Never heard of them having a wedding soup but I worked at the top restaurant in my city as a bartender in college and got the best italian wedding soup there and if it's even half as good it's probably amazing.

[@paciencekovach9675]

If u go to olive garden again u have to try the appetizer lasagna Fritas. It's like fried lasagna pieces with marinara and Alfredo on them. Ask for extra Alfredo on the side.i think if u like the mozzarella sticks ull love those.❤. Nice video

[@rnunez6398]

Now that you've done Olive Garden after doing Ruth's Chris Steak House, you should keep doing Darden Restaurants. How about Yard House or Bahama Breeze next?

[@Myeshia]

Would LOVE to see him try Bahama Breeze next!!

[@chobitASHL3Y]

at most places the cooks just throw whatever leftovers they have into the soup if it somewhat makes sense lol

[@kandyedwards1376]

Most of that stuff comes in bags that are frozen, like soups, sauces, lasagna

[@SuperiorRecords]

endless soup salad n breadstick is the play at OG

[@nebraskaryan9308]

It actually does exist in Italy but it’s way different. It a shit load of butter, Parmesan cheese, and pasta water

[@stevenb.9553]

8:26 AYOOOOOOO!!!

[@summerBunnyJesusChrist1]

Its been a minute since I ate there but when I do its buttery bread sticks and salad lol it hits Diffy for me but I do enjoy there salad with the salty olives pepperoncinis, red onions croutons salad dressing lol I don't get any pasta or soups.

[@Tuckygurl71]

The pasta fagiole is my favorite OG soup, bread sticks and salad. The spicy shrimp is the best appetizer hands down

[@DarrellAnderson.]

Olive Garden is Pretty Good

[@ADF200]

People who tell me their favorite restaurant is Olive Garden tells me all I need to know about them and their pallet😂

[@TheOneKeyToLife]

I mean it isn’t terrible 🤷🏽‍♂️ and sometimes ppl just don’t have the means to go to the more expensive places that have better stuff

[@Robf8621]

I’ve never had bad chicken Parm from Olive Garden. Also never thought it was overly salted but all places are different I suppose.

[@MrPackerfan85]

Only thing truly good at Olive Garden is breadsticks and salad

[@JayIRL-93]

The car mukbangs have made it

[@deanawells4395]

They have closed most of our Olive Garden and Red Lobster. The salad was really good now it is Mid at best 😢

[@toshamathews2490]

May you try African food or Indian food please. Thank you!

[@Cpaexam2024]

For appetizers at Olive Garden the calamari is the best one,

[@loverofsunflowers]

I love their salad dressing. I buy the huge bottles from sams club and make a ham and kale salad.

[@BrettHowe2]

Just a reminder how far the Timberwolves have come with that Brandon Roy jersey. I got a season ticket promotion when he signed with wolves for $3 per ticket 😂. Tough way to go out this year but future looks much brighter.

[@isaiahbaker4910]

I love getting their baked ravioli with the spicy italian sausage as the protein

[@Jcruz25]

I dip the mozzarella sticks and bread in this cheeses dip thing lol when I go

[@neomatrix6160]

You are not alone thinking that Olive Garden is Mid at best. No apologies. NY says 👋🏻 *NJ/NY are def spoiled when it comes to great Italian food.

[@zachturner3443]

Great video the king never disappoints 🔥🔥

Olive Garden Breadsticks Slap! 💯🔥🔥

[@Chanellnbr5]

Their breadsticks are good when they are hot just don’t let them sit

KS: Too much sausage in the meat blend Me: 🙃🤭 I appreciate you attempting Olive Garden. The north has some damn good Italian restaurants that needs to come to south Florida!!!

Loveeeeee espresso straight up. I think I would enjoy that Tiramisu rich mascarpone cheese 😮 imma try it

Mutz pocket is wild - that ain't no mutz stick

[@carverwilliamsjr]

I work there bro it's ok overall rating about 7.5 or 8 the soups breadsticks and a few deserts are what to get the one you had I am not trying to spell it n butcher it looking dumb but yeah that's really what is the best and dip the breadsticks in Alfredo sauce that's the best

[@PuppyPawsGamingYT]

thank you for saying fagioli right! i about died when one of my friends called it pasta fag-ee-oli in the restaurant. i was laughing so hard.

Being from North Jersey myself, Jersey City native Olive garden os ok but always disappointed me in comparison with authentic homeade Italian dishes at local restaurants. But once in a while it's ok

[@ReformedDoc]

Alfredo was created in Italy & brought back by tourist

[@Tuckygurl71]

For me personally- jarred pasta sauce is too sweet, so much so its off putting. Mutti is the only brand I'll buy or use.
