Went to Olive Garden for the first time in years. Good food but wow....$5.69 for a 14 ounce draft???

Thanks for the tip. Water for me next time

I always get the bottomless soup just to see how long the spoon is going to be.

[Bay Kid]

I hope the beer was great at that price.

Applebees jacks the price way up then does bogo for happy hour all day.

This is how they make their profit -- hike the prices on cheaper commodities. Kinda like giving the razor away and charging an arm & leg for blades.

I had a similar experience at Square 1. They had specials for fruity-tootie kind of mix drinks. I asked if the price also applied to a basic Martini. No, that was $10. For cheap gin and a couple of olives?! Like the OP said, I asked for water. I wonder when we'll start seeing a charge of that too.

Iced Tea is cheaper and drinking a lot of it can't harm you.


Oh...except for that Indian.


They found him dead in his Teapee.

Sorry but I disagree with the OP on good food at OG.

$5.69 for a beer seems to be a bit much but then, I wouldn't go to OG, as I went once and their food, left a lot to be desired.

BTW - I am Italian.

You have to be German to enjoy it. ( But I dislike the salad...no sugar)


Italians sometimes like German restaurants. I have never been in one I liked..

So true!!!

Some people are food snobs. Luckily, my palate is not so discriminating but I know decent food, when I eat it!!!

There are several Italian restaurants I would go to but OG, is not one of them!!!

Nuff said!!!

I like OG salad and the lasagna. Hubby always gets soup & chicken alfredo.

[logdog]

I like their lasagna and salad and water.

Found out last week that you can get half priced drinks if you have to wait on a table. They will tell you to take the buzzer and show it to the bartender.

TeaPee... wow. That was so bad I actually lol-ed... well almost.

I carry my own buzzer. I keep it in the car next to my squeegee.
