Free with a meal, paid to go
Breadsticks are part of what you pay for with an entrée: dine in at Olive Garden and the server keeps them coming, together with salad or soup. The same goes for Soup, Salad & Breadsticks ($13.99). Only when you order breadsticks on their own — usually to go — do they show up on the bill, at $5.29 for an extra order.
