Lunch hours and dinner hours

Lunch hours are Monday to Friday from 11 am to 3 pm at every restaurant we checked; the dinner menu starts at 3 pm. The soup, salad and breadsticks lunch special is listed until 2:30 pm. On Saturday and Sunday the regular menu is served all day. What lunch costs: Olive Garden lunch menu.

To go, curbside and catering hours

Online To Go orders and curbside pickup follow the restaurant's hours but close a little earlier: on the restaurant data we saw, the last online order time was about 20 minutes before closing. Catering pickup and delivery start at 11 am. More: catering.

Holiday hours

Olive Garden publishes holiday hours restaurant by restaurant, not as one national schedule. Restaurants are typically closed on Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day, and some close early on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve. Check your restaurant's page on olivegarden.com or call ahead.

Best time to go

  • Weekdays 11 am – 3 pm: the cheapest time to eat, with the lunch menu from $12.49.
  • Join the online waitlist before you leave home on Friday and Saturday evenings — in the restaurant data we saw, the waitlist closes about 30 minutes before the restaurant.
  • Last hour before closing: the kitchen is still open, but online ordering may already be closed.
