The salad and dressing is the same. The bread used to be locally baked, but now they ship it in frozen.

So the bread is different than it used to be.

Not bad if you like food that is 80% salt

Depending on how hungry I am at the time, sometimes it's great. But mostly good.

It’s hard to really screw up pasta. It’s consistently not bad

Not bad is a great description. It is what it is, which is chain style, mass reproduced italian food.

If it is close and you have few other close options, it works.

Italy is the 2nd best place to get authentic Italian food, behind Olive Garden

Macaroni Grill's bread is better.

As with any restaurant it's only as good as it's chefs. Great chef = great food.

Olive Garden doesn't have "chefs." It has microwave attendants.

I haven't eaten there in at least a couple years, but I like pasta and garlic so it's not bad for me.

I only get their spaghetti and breadsticks. I think they’re decent enough
