- We haven’t been to an Olive Garden in four years! Time to check it out and see if it’s still good quality and worth the money….#seviercounty #food #tennesseesmokies #localfood #sevierville #smokies #italianfood #olivegarden
Really happy to see OG is still treating their customers right. I was hopeful that they wouldn’t crash and burn like Red Lobster has in recent months. Food looked really good.
It was!! I was very happy with my meal!!
The Red Lobster in my area is still decent. I was never a fan of how this particular location was designed.
No old style"mom and pop " real Italian family' run restaurants run inyour vicinity? That's sad.
@carole2403xqv1 I don’t expect you to watch all of our videos but we did post a mom and pop Italian restaurant. Mama Mia’s about a month ago. So not sad at all just another choice. Thanks for watching
I got my mom and my daughter hooked on your videos. Always delicious looking content. 😊
Thank you for joining us!! We really appreciate it!❤️😊
You’re welcome 😊
I always fill up on soup and breadsticks. By the time the food comes I can only take about 2 bites. It really is one of the rare places to get a great value when you go out to eat nowadays! Looking forward to seeing how the take home meals are.
Thanks for watching!!
My Sister and I ordered take out and we’re binge watching Rich and Jen’s Adventures. This was another Awesome Video. Thank you and Be Blessed!
😂 thanks for inviting us to your dinner!! Really appreciate you guys watching our videos!!❤️❤️
My husband got one of the to go meals and really enjoyed it. I love adding the broccoli to my Alfredo meal too. They cook it perfectly
Yes- so good!!😊
You really know how to make a person hungry 🤤 one of my favorite restaurants
It was delicious!!😋
The Olive Garden was beautiful inside ours here boring looking. Loved seeing the family together the food looked good 😊love watching the channel thanks for the great videos
Well, thank you so much! You know we always love to see the kids whenever they will tolerate us! L O L thank you for your compliment about our channel and we hope you continue to enjoy it!❤️
Great family video at a good restaurant. Their salad and bread never disappoints! BTW we have their Italian dressing in our frig. which we prefer over all others.
Me too..
Everyone likes to hate on Olive Garden ,but the one where I live is ALWAYS packed.
Here too..
Their packed because the majority is not aware of what good Italian food really tastes like.
What a beautiful family. Love you guys. I have a gift card for Olive Garden I can’t wait to use it now!!
Well, don’t use it until after you watch the review of the takeout meals for six dollars that we got to go with us. That will be out on Saturday at one. Because you want to use some of that money for some of those takeout meals. Trust me!and thank you for the compliment on our family. It is full of love.
We love Olive Garden ! Thank you for your great videos I love them , they’re also useful for us . Thank you both🙏🏼🧘♀️🥰
Thank you for watching!!❤️
I've never had a bad meal at the OG. And I've been there dozens of times over the years. They're very good for what you pay. Does it taste like Giada Delaurentis is out back cooking for you? No. Is it spa cuisine? No. But they're very good for a casual Italian eatery.
Yes- exactly!👍
That dinner looked delicious! Good to know. I haven’t been to an Olive Garden in years. We might have to give it a try!
Loved the fettuccine Alfredo !!!
Just went to Olive Garden in Los Angeles two weeks ago. It was SUPER great!
Ours here is too!!
Hi Jenn, I was wondering about those if they still had those take n heat deals at OG. I'm glad you said at the end that you got 3 of them to go for $6 each. We have frozen them since weve eaten the leftovers first and they taste really good still. Last time we ate there was about 2 Yrs ago and they had those takenheats for $5 each. With inflation, that's only a dollar increase, so again, I appreciate the information. Thank you❤
We will have that video out on Saturday! Thanks for watching!!
Yummy. Olive Garden so delicious
Yes!!👍
Oh my goodness I need to get back to Olive Garden! Looks amazing😋
It was amazing!!
Absolutely loved this video Olive Garden is one of my favorite restaurants. I love the breadsticks at Olive Garden I love getting their five cheese marinara to dip them into. I also love getting the lasagna fritta for appetizers and their breadsticks are always a must for me.
Wait until you see the six dollar takeout foods that we review on Saturday! Yum Yum
@@jennifermountaingirl can’t wait looking forward to it
My favorite is the chicken parmesan dish, and my husband's is the chicken alfredo with broccoli. We drive about an hour to eat at one occasionally.
I really liked the chicken Alfredo with broccoli! Something about the broccoli cut that really thick cheese sauce.
Nonnas are crying in heaven when they see this re warmed fast food seved as Italian food.
@carole2403xqv1 they are good. You should give it a try you might be surprised
I've lived in East Tennessee all my life and currently in Knoxville for the last 14 years. We love the fact that we can be in the Smoky's in under an hour whenever we want. Great place to grow up and live!
We also love being close to the mountains, or as you said, being able to run into Knoxville and shop at Costco. So many restaurants and so many activities it’s a great place to live.
Everything looked delicious 😋. Looking forward to the take out meals video.
It will be out Saturday!
Looks like a great meal but I could never eat all that food! Thanks for your videos!
Thanks for joining us!
Great video everything looks delicious
It was!!
I guess I will make a run for lunch Saturday. I never go into OG but now I will. Looks so good
I have to say I had not been to Olive Garden in quite some time so I did not know what we were going to get. But I was highly impressed. When you go wait till go Saturday afternoon and watch the review of our take home meals from the Olive Garden at 1:00. That way when you go, you can grab a couple of those and stick them in the refrigerator or freezer! Worth it!
You can't go wrong with Olive Garden. The one here i n Evansville, IN is smaller than Sevierville which is a beautiful resteraunt. Ours is more intimate. All the dishes you had are so good! I love the unlimited soup and salad bar. The Tour of Italy was really good. Chicken Parmesan and the Chicken Ravioli so good. I usually get the lasagna!!! This is a resteraunt town here in Evansville! Olive Garden my favorite resteraunt even though I like them all in town.
Absolutely loved it!!!
We love Olive Garden (my husband's favorite), and we love the one you were at! Lately, I have ordered the chicken alfredo several times. Very delicious! Enjoyed the review! ❤
It's so good!😊
Hey Lisa 👋 I just found this channel a couple of days ago and had to send to Penny
@@shelleycarey478 Hi Shelley!! You found me! 😉 I love this couple's food reviews. I live in Sevierville, TN part-time. ❤
@@lisachambers8952 I have family in Morristown been to Sevierville many times
@@shelleycarey478 Very cool! 🙂
Love your reviews, just started watching...I'm hungry now! Jessica's ravioli looked awesome...I've always gotten the salad but think the next time I go I'll get the soup since it's "all you can eat" (and there are several I like)! Everything looked so good.
Oh yeah, for sure her soup looked really good but the salad is always amazing too. Decisions decisions L O L. Thanks for watching!😊❤️
Very Nice job. Honest enjoyable reviews
Just subscribed. Glad I found you 😊👍💕
Thanks! Glad you found us too! We appreciate you watching!❤️😊
🎉Thanks! That was a really good review
Thanks for watching!!
Everything looked delicious for sure
So good!😎😎
Love olive garden! Thanks for the video!
Thank you for watching! We appreciate it. I was shocked by how good the food was. I hadn’t been there in years, but we will definitely be back. Also make sure you watch the video on Saturday about the six dollar to go meals. I think you will enjoy it as well.
A lot of times I have gone to OG ordered an entree filled up on the bread sticks and salad and taken the entree home yummmm
For sure, that’s why we took some of the salad and breadsticks home. We didn’t want to fill up on that and then not eating our entrées. We ended up taking a lot of food home. I will probably get at least another meal, maybe two?
Are there better Italian restaurants? Yep, probably, but is Olive Garden a good Italian? Definitely and especially for the price. I absolutely love their salad and at our local OG the service & atmosphere are very good. Love it.
We felt the same way, thanks for watching
Not a single good "mom and pop " family owned real Italian American restaurant in your vicinity? That's really sad.
Wow! The last time we went in our area we were very disappointed. What you guys had looked delicious. Price was good for all the food you got. Definitely a stop next time we come to the smokies!
Yes! And look Saturday for the takeout video!!!
Lots of better local spots in the smokies you should try. Check out some of the early videos. Great stuff.
@vol4life_simracing I agree there are a lot of great places but I genuinely enjoyed Olive Garden!! It was really good!!
Broccoli is Definitely Delicious in the Alfredo sauce and cheese and noodles 😋😋😋😋😋 Great Choice Jen !! All the Meals Look Absolutely Delicious!! ❤❤❤
They were sooooo good!!
All of the food looked fantastic. We’ve always loved Olive Garden! Sometimes we’ll just order a large salad and a bunch of breadsticks and take it home for dinner and that’s all we’ll eat (they give it to you in a huge plastic salad bowl and give you a bottle of their salad dressing). Thanks for another great video!!
Wow, I did not know that! I’m gonna have to try that one night.
Looks so good like your videos so good ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Well, thank you so much! You are very kind and we appreciate that you watch them!
Love your videos! Love OG! My fav is chicken Marsala and the portion is enough for two people.
Well, thank you very much. We really appreciate you watching! I will have to try the chicken more sometime.
Have fun enjoy
LOVE Olive Garden!!! I haven't been there for a while. I love their cheese ravioli to & the Alfredo. Not a fan of broccoli 🥦 I have tried their sirloin with the Alfredo pasta & it's very good 😊 Can't wait to see the video on the take home meals when you post that. Those appetizers looked great to
Oh my gosh- it’s coming out Saturday- you have to watch!!
@@jennifermountaingirl you know I always do watch your videos 😊😊❤️❤️ Can't wait to see it
Looks delicious we have one close to us I’m going to have to try them again. Day complete now 😊
You definitely need to go- and the takeouts for 6.00- you have to watch Saturday!!
@@jennifermountaingirl I’ll be looking for that
Love Olive Garden❤ yummy 😋 Looks. delish
It was good!😊
Must always order an Italian wine with all Italian food! Not the same without it. I thought the Olive Garden served a never ending salad and bread with their dinner's! Must always order Espresso with Italian desserts.
That salad….😋😋😋❤️
Everything looked good especially the broccoli
That broccoli fettuccine Alfredo was delicious!
Everything looked very good
It was!!😋😋❤️
At Olive Garden, for the appetizer I usually get the meatballs and The Tour of Italy for the entree. The Alfredo on the Tour of Italy is so good and of course so is the chicken Parmesan and lasagne. It is good to see all the items you all chose. It all looked so good. I especially liked the chicken Alfredo with broccoli. I usually can never get dessert because they do give you a lot of food. Thanks for taking us all along with you and your family to one of my favorites "Olive Garden".
Thank you. We really enjoyed our meal. If I was to go back, I would get the dessert that Rich and Jessica got. The chocolate lasagna. I thought it was better than the cheesecake.
My favorite is Chicken Scampi….
Yum!!
Gotta get an app and a main and split it ❤
You could for sure!!👍
The fluffy cheese cake is the New York Style my fav
Rich really liked it.
Looks so good
It was!!
My family likes Olive Garden too. I miss their lemon cake. Have you tried Johnny Carino’s in Pigeon Forge? It’s very good too. We love the Italian Nachos!
Yes- I have eaten there, it was good!
And I have been there as well. I love Pigeon Forge. Try and pop over for a quick visit when in the area. Will be returning in October!
The fried Lasagne is the only reason I go into Olive Garden, order from them to go all through the Covid crisis.
It was really good!!😊
I would have the same as Jen! Looks great ❤ I couldn't eat the main meal she's having let alone all the extras y'all got. 😂
We took a bunch home!!!
Would love to see you do a road tour to Rugby Tennessee. It's an Old village founded by the author Thomas Hughes. There is a very interesting cemetery, several houses and the church that is still in use. Then go up the road and eat at one of the local restaurants. Or better yet, go to RM Brooks original store and eat one of their fabulous bologna and onion sandwiches. There is also a Mennonite and Amish community very nearby.
We will definitely keep that in mind! Thanks!!
Olive garden always has some good eats!!!
Your son Rich looks just like his dad….❤
I know! We used to call him mini me!😂
Problem is, these guys try these restaurants, but love everything! Kind of want some reviews of places they don't like. I guess they don't want to upset anyone, seems like that anyway.
We appreciate your comments. Not sure if you have seen all of our videos but we have had few we didn’t care for. We try to not be over dramatic, one of our pet peeves, also realizing every business can have a bad day. We try to be entertaining, in a positive way. We appreciate you and hope you continue to watch! Thank you!😊
I love good Italian food. Especially homemade Lasagna 😋👏❤️
I usually don’t order lasagna when I go out because I have a recipe for a greatt homemade myself!😋
@@jennifermountaingirl I am the same lol
Yummm❤
It was good!!😊
I havent been to Olive Garden in years. Definetly going to try the Chicken Fettuccine with Broccoli.
That was very good the chicken was super tender, thanks for watching
New subbie here!
Hey! Thanks for joining us!❤️
You need to get a side of Alfredo sauce to dip your breadsticks in.
Yummy!!😋
Their salad and breadsticks are the best things on the menu.
We all shared the salad and breadsticks, the bread was real good
That’s a lot food.
It was!
I want to ask that you tell us how much your total was for your meals. My vision is not good enough to be able to read your receipts.
6.00 each for these meals..
Love their salads..we don’t eat there much because I’m on keto…and have been for 3 years.. I’m wondering if they offer any keto options?
Probably not many..
Never understood why they cram four adults into a booth.
There sure wasn’t much room with all the food they put on the table. It was pretty tight!
I thought the drinks and appetizers blew the ticket at the end? I can't, the salad and bread sticks was the best.
It was a fairly expensive meal, but very good!
Uh...yes!! @jennifermountaingirl
Oh my gosh...even if the food was GREAT , WITH THAT AMOUNT OF MONEY I COULD , FRUGALLY BUY A MONTHS WORTH OF GROCERIES!! THIS IS INSANE !!! Oh, the food tasted good and they give you a lot so $ 170.00 is REASONABLE !!! YA'LL MUST BE REALLY RICH !!!
We use the money that we make from our UA-cam videos to continue to go out and give reviews to people like you guys so you won’t waste your money when you go out to eat. When we first developed our channel, we used our own money but we have enough subscribers and views now that we can use that for our reviews. If not for that, I could never go out to eat weekly like we do. Believe me I am not rich. Just Married to Rich. Lol.
WOW, I could eat for a month on that, too.
Look like you all had a fun family meal. As you know there’s nothing Italian about the Olive Garden.
We did- American-Italian??😂😊
@@jennifermountaingirl i love it
I honestly wouldn’t waste my calories at OG even if someone gave me one year of free meals. The breadsticks are hard. The food is like frozen food from a grocery store. When I eat Italian I go to an authentic Italian restaurant. Just my two cents.
@@SandNSurf I like authentic Italian restaurants also but I liked Olive Garden as well, by the way the bread sticks were soft and delicious
@@jennifermountaingirl I’m just picky. The part of the country I come from is rich with old family run Italian restaurants.
Lucky, we do have a couple around here and we like them also
@@jennifermountaingirl That’s fantastic 😊
Prices out of sight 🙄🤯
It really is for most everything right now!
Oliver garden is so much better then the Cracker Barrel ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
If I had to choose I’d go Olive Garden
Do you know you can get a gallon bucket of soup to go. What a deal.
No, I didn’t!! Wow! Wonder how much one is? Thanks for watching!❤️
It's under the catering menu, and it comes in two sizes, if you compare the price of buying single servings It's well worth it. In the cooler months I will pick up one from time to time.
That’s a great idea
Awesome video! Love this content! Please keep this coming! Awesome family! So many good vibes.❤❤ Thank You both!
Thank you!!😊
Notice the steak has disappeared.
The Asiago tortellini Alfredo with grilled chicken is my favorite
Yumm!!
After those heavy appetizers, how were they able to eat more? Those WERE a meal.
We had two appetizers between 4 of us and we all took about 1/2 of our meals home so it wasn’t really that much food.
Get that spoon out for the long pasta
I always cut my long pasta. The Italian police don't know where I live. 😂.
😂😂😂
@@BerryBerry1465 I love using spoons.
@@BerryBerry1465, me too…if they catch us, we’ll go down together!
I'm from uk. I do not understand how you use a knife and fork..??
We are sort of red neck raised so we may not use a knife and fork up to code!!😊😂😂😂
Makes me laugh how Americans use their cutlery.
They can't hold their knife and fork properly! 😂
Well you know us unconventional Americans!! 😂
who could eat all that rich food all at once? It looks good, but being unhealthy doesn’t
Moderation is the key! With so many things… We splurged once a week when we go out and try try to watch what we eat the other six days of the week. But thank you for your concern.
If u request they will make chicken Parmesan with grilled chicken instead of fried. Yum!
That’s good to know!
It's better fried.
Not Italian food. Not even Italian American food. Full of sugar , garlic and fat. Real Italian bread sticks are either thin ( grissini) or like the wonderful hard Sicilian bread sticks drenched in sesame seeds that we used to get at our local Italian / French bakery on Sunday mornings. Baker got up at 4 AM to make the different Italian breads, real Sicilian bread sticks and his famous specialty - lard bread ( hard biscuits that you.dipped in coffee) Olive Garden "bread sticks " are hot dog buns dipped in "garlic butter" Not even close.
I love olive garden bread sticks, never been to Italy, I’m sure authentic Italian bread sticks are good also. Thanks for watching
@carol2403 Agreed.
I live in Brooklyn NY. not Italy. Real imported grissini are available in many supermarkets. We really miss our Frances Bakery that made the sesame breadsticks and lard bread. The baker retired to Sicily and his son couldn't deal with getting up at 4 AM to bake the bread, lard bread and cookies.We cried when it closed.
OG was never worth the money. 3rd grade food.
We enjoyed our meal
The music us terrible
We thought it was nice but everyone has thier opinion, thanks for watching
