Average dinner check: $21.90

I guess what we learn today is that Olive Garden remains an affordable dinner destination.

That’s per guest. I would say $20 per person is average

For a sit down dinner?

At olive garden absolutely

But that was the original point… Olive Garden is affordable.

Then saying $20 is average for any dinner location just isn’t true.

Yeah, $20 gets you like a burger and fries at Five Guys. lol

Are you saying $20 is high or low for an average?

u/BigHardThunderRock Nov 19 '22

It's low. Especially considering that every place is jacking their prices.

I guess my city is cheap, I can easily eat at most sit down restaurants for < $20

It’s a Olive Garden not a 5 star hotel buffet

A 5-star hotel buffet sounds kinda gross right now. I think I want the breadsticks.

If you don't order the $4 soda or any alcohol.

I guess that explains why avg lunch takeout is so high. They must assume one person per order.
