Normal.. ok sitting there a elderly woman comes from the bathroom back of building goes to host young girls ask why since more than half they tables are empty can we not be seated and wait there. Girl host starts being rude to her. I intervine as no one should talk to the elders or a customer as she did. Casey manager

We have to leave this review, we MUST. CarlosT. our waiter, is ALWAYS upbeat, cheerful, courteous, professional, fast, etc. We keep asking for him, but if he's not available, we ask for Lori T. Carlos and Lori are our choices, but in no way want to disrespect any other waiter/waitress, respectfully. We always have an AWESOME time at our favorite restaurant of choice. We feel great going in and great departing. We want to let management know how we think and feel. As always, support your people and always thrive to make things better. We mention to management not each time, but often to let them

Since Chedder's opened in Tulsa we have eaten there maybe once or twice a week. The experiences we have had are almost always great, without exception. A few weeks ago we ate there and I ordered the chicken pot pie. It's normally the best I've ever had. This time was a disappointment. It was much smaller and had only a top crust. The might seem pretty but it makes a big difference. I also learned they would no longer have onion rings or meatloaf. We were really disappointed. We have ordered the onion rings almost every time we are there. We really hope things return to normal at our favorite place

Darden, a leader of industry etc etc. Any concerns I've had in your chains have been responded to and rectified in a timely manner. Your company is transparent to the public. You're community friendly and many companies aspire to reach your well refined business model. I only wish to franchise an olive garden for the unlimited soup! Stay froggy ;D

I am very disappointed that corporate took the chicken pot pie out of their menu, I understand it was a limited time offer but I would really appreciate if they put that back on. That was one of the reasons why I kept returning to Olive Garden is because of the pot pie. I will not take my family back until it is returned on the menu, that is how much I desire this wonderful pot pie. In fact, I don't even like pot pies usually... but this one is absolutely delicious and it needs to be added back on to the menu FOR GOOD!!
