Olive Garden is like dog food. Worse maybe. No self respecting italian, italian-american, or lover of italian culture/cuisine would eat at Olive Garden even if it was the last place on earth to eat and they were dying of starvation.

Which doesn't make sense to me, because it's the same company (Darden) which owns Capital Grille and Longhorn Steakhouse, and I quite like those places as far as big chain steak houses goes.
I get Capital Grille, but Longhorn? Longhorn is to good steakhouses what Olive Garden is to good Italian food.

Yeah, Longhorn Steakhouse is an abomination.  Comparing it to Olive Garden is actually insulting to Olive Garden.

I have only one memory of going to olive garden. I ordered Lasagna. It arrived as basically slush. It made me long Carrabba's.

I had a friend who described a childhood love of Fazoli's because that's what they ate on band trips. This kind of sums it up for me. Not food a person older than college age eats unless they have kids or a strong nostalgic tie.

Also, restaurants that are constructed like real restaurants but serve food that's at best not much better than fast causal (Chilis, Applebee's) are all kind of redundant at this point. Even Buffalo Wild Wings is near that level, but it it enough of a sports bar to pass, barely.

Kids sure love Olive Garden.   The hook of a basket of breadsticks is just crack.  Same for fazolis.   Those things have a half life of 90 seconds, but they can't get enough of them.    Fortunately there's a Mediterranean place nearby with outstanding garlic bread of all things..   I can get my kibbeh nayeh, lamb, and spanikopita and they can have garlic bread, pita huumius and noodles.

Carrabba's is actually pretty good for a chain italian restaurant. Probably the only one I'll eat at. Depending on the location. I've eaten at some that were really great, and other locations in random places throughout the country that were flat out terrible. This is the problem with any chain though. Hit or miss- all depends on how they are run by the franchisees/proprietors. 

I really want to try the original Carrabba's in Houston. It's still independently owned by the family and has nothing to do with OSI/Bloomin. The chain Carrabba's are some sort of licensing deal.

Disagree vehemently. I've had many good filets at Longhorn. It's definitely better than say Outback- which is disgusting.

Wow, no not at all.

The very worst Outback I've ever eaten at, was about 1000x better than Longhorn Steakhouse.
