$9.99 Olive Garden Lunch Deal Seems Pretty Good reposted by Ruth Paget

Good Deal for families - Soup, Salad, and Breadsticks for $9.99 lunch at Olive Garden in Salinas, California reposted by Ruth Paget

I like Olive Garden’s pasta, vegetable, and bean soup with garlic butter bread sticks, which have gone into a lunch deal with salad for $9.99.  

That deal is great for the holiday season when kids are at home.

Olive Garden is located on North Main Street in Salinas, California.

When my family goes, we use Olive Garden’s curbside pick up services and check out what’s new around North Ridge Mall.

The following TikTok ad has more information on this lunch deal:
