BUYER BEWARE - Idk if it was just my Olive Garden but the one I went to charged for the protein for every refill brought out for the pasta bowl - I'm calling to check if this was a mistake or not but just in case - BUYER BEWARE

Edit/Update: Aight it's only for the grilled chicken so I got a refund - so if you get the grilled chicken they will charge you for every refill

I worked for Olive Garden for 7 years. Some things they do microwave, like steamed veggies and stuff. Pasta sauce is made from scratch in house in large batches then vacuum sealed and refrigerated or frozen (I can't remember which). Pasta is partially cooked and kept warm then boiled for a few minutes and tossed with sauce heated in a pan. Sausage are deep fried. Pretty sure the meatballs are frozen and baked in sauce. Breaded chicken (chicken fritta) is also frozen. Breadstuffs are half baked from the factory(?) then baked in the oven for a few minutes at the restaurant and topped with butter and garlic salt when done. Soups are scratch made in house the same way the sauces are. Large batches then sealed and reheated in a water bath when needed. Steaks are grilled, chicken is grilled. Most fried things are frozen (think calamari, toasted ravioli, etc). I haven't worked there since 2013 so things may have changed since then but this is my past experience.

Additional note: As a server, I hated the NEPB. It got crazy busy, you had to do more for your tables cuz of the refills, and it was cheaper than the normal entrees so you almost always got tipped less. I've also experienced customers throwing up in the restroom between refills just so they could eat more. It's disgusting. If you do take advantage of this promo, be kind to your servers and wait staff. It sucks for them.

Read what they wrote. They said they were getting charged that PER refill, not the fact protein costs extra.

The OG pasta pass is one of my favorite memories from 2014.The dates coincided generally with my maternity leave and you could get it takeout. I would call in the order and almost every night my husband swung by on his way home from work. Definitely got our money's worth though it definitely did not help with my postpartum weight loss effort. 😂

STARTS AT $13.99. Our area is $15.99. The staff didn't know. We had to specifically ask that she check the price. She originally thought it was $20. The table next us (different server) was trying to get it for $13.99. Their server hadn't mentioned that it was $2 more than the ad. Manager was called over but he didn't budge. There was absolutely no mention of the promo in store - just through targeted ads to OG subscribers. Such a poor rollout from corporate.

Not related to this promo but just a friendly reminder - check your bill. Our server accidentally charged us for a protein as well. I just think the whole restaurant gets a little crazy when they run the never ending pasta bowl.

I'd be annoyed if that happened to me. Our waiter did the opposite and let me switched up proteins every refill. Then only charged me one time for meatball.

This is true. At least it's fresh. When I worked there I was shocked to find out that you're paying good money for someone to microwave/warm frozen food and serve it to you. They don't even bake the bread sticks. They are already cooked and come in a frozen box. All they do is warm them up.

I also worked at Tim Hortons and they don't even make doughnuts. Same thing. 100% frozen and they warm them up and put glaze on them. Crazy.

From strictly a value stand point you may be right. Maybe. However quality, cost, and variety will vary across the United States, even across towns and cities. Sometimes you just want Olive Garden, and for what it is this seems to be a good deal in its own right. I wouldn't call this an apples to apples comparison.

I'd rather go to Golden Corral. Same quality for the same price, and all the meat you can eat.

Does Olive Garden just microwave the food and serve?
