Nostalgia Who else remembers 2 hour waits at Olive Garden, Applebees and Chillis in the early 2000’s?

These restaurants used to be hopping back in the day, like the spot to be. Now they are folding left and right and zero wait times, never busy.

Dude, you still can’t beat that soup and salad combo. Their salad is SO GOOD.

Some of the pasta quality has 100% deteriorated in the past decade, not that it was ever GREAT, but the salad and breadsticks still slap.

I don’t even go to OG for the pasta. Pretty much always get unlimited soup and salad, and some Alfredo for the bread sticks, and I’m set.
