A former server at Olive Garden has revealed how you can get free food at the Italian restaurant.

'I was server at Olive Garden for a year,' he said before revealing his top tips.

His first hack only applied to those dining in.

'If you want the dipping sauce for your breadsticks but you don't want to pay and order it, just ask your server for a ramekin of Alfredo,' Hunter said.

He noted that if you have a 'hard a**' severer they may refuse, however, '99 per cent' of waiters will happily give you one free of charge.

The next trick involved the beloved mints you get at the end of your meal, which Hunter called the 'best part of eating at Olive Garden.'

He explained that while you the rule is one per person, if you just ask your server for more they will oblige.

'You know those amazing mints you get at the end, literally the best part of eating at Olive Garden.

'The rule of thumb is one per person, but if you ask for extra, again 99 per cent of your servers, were just there to make money for us, we don't care if the company makes money.

'I've given people 10-20 if they ask for it, just be direct.'

Lastly, the ex-employee detailed how to get both soup and salad, despite the Italian diner only offering one per meal.

'Go with at least one other person, you get a salad bowl with your soup, and just take some of their salad,' he explained.

In a follow-up video, Hunter revealed even more hacks for eating at the Italian restaurant.

He said the first trick was called the 'kids meal hack.'

'What you are going to do, off the kids menu, order any pasta off of it. Then, for the side of it, there is also a pasta option.

'Sub that out for whatever type of pasta you want to match, like the Fettuccini Alfredo, and then you can add chicken on the side

'It's the same size as the adult portion and cheaper.

Next up, he said you should never allow them to take your salad bowl away.

He added that you need to pretend to keep nibbling on it, and then ask for a refill right before you leave.

After you get your refill, ask for a to-go box but don't ask for the salad to go.

'The same logic applies for the soup, salad, and breadsticks. We are supposed to charge if we get you some specifically to go, but not if you just get more and get a to go box,' Hunter explained.

Lastly, the ex-server said you should be kind to your server because they are the ones making the soup, salad and breadsticks, so they can help you get free food if you are nice.




These are pretty good. I’m going to save some money next time I’m at the garden!

You can't for at least a month. There's some coding backend changes and avs that aren't blanked by admins can't be changed for a bit

i feel as if the reason the server would give you 20 mints is because they think you'll tip well for it so it's not really free (if you want to keep going to the same olive garden)

As a former Olive Garden server all of this stuff works and much more. You can literally do anything you want as long as you're a big enough rear end in a top hat about it. You can even get your meal comped if you're pissed off enough about whatever it is you want to be angry about. Just verbally abuse the gently caress out of everyone you come across and they'll treat you like a king.

No server ever assumes anyone who needs special treatment is going to tip well.

The best tippers and customers are the ones who know what they want and are in/out in the shortest time possible. If you're a pain in the rear end, they already know you're not worth their time.

Mug a waiter when they get off their shift.

edit: Tipping is basically stealing from the customers when you think about it, fair is fair.

Honestly none of the stuff on this list is a big deal if you're just up front about it and not weirdly and trashily secretive about your scheme. Like the other goon said it's not a hack it's just being nice to your server. You could literally go, "Hey, how can I get the most breadsticks I can out of this place?" and they will probably be honest with you.

Two very memorably funny experiences I had, though the first was a bit annoying-

These two ladies were stuffing their purses with breadsticks and salad. They were trying to be stealthy about it and wrapping them in napkins and pretending they ate them but their table was right by the drink station and everyone was watching them do it. Then at the end they did the to-go thing noted above, so they probably walked out of there with like 3 salads each and 30 breadsticks.

Another time I was serving this table and they were acting all indignant about the quality and presentation of the pasta or some inconsistencies on our menu. They kept going on like they were hot poo poo and this dude at my other table piped up and was like, "You know this is the Olive Garden right? This is the Applebee's of Italian restaurants, what are you expecting here?". Guy was cool as hell.

Sorry for being on topic btw, back to av talk

However, if I might make a suggestion-

what about the “more bang for your buck” wizard master?

or the “smart investment” wizard master?

or even the “highly efficient” wizard master?

A real tip, just go to Fazoli's instead. It's the same food but you don't have a server to tip. Also the food is cheaper to begin with.

I don't eat at Olive Garden, for obvious reasons, but aren't the mints just Andes mints, which are both extremely cheap and sold everywhere? I just checked Walmart and they are 48 for $3.78, EBT eligible.

Who they gently caress is trying to get a bunch of these free mints?
