Olive Garden Lunch Menu Hours: When Can You Order It?
Olive Garden’s own in-restaurant menu signage lists the Lunch-Sized Favorites and WEEKDAY Lunch Special as available 11am–3pm, Monday through Friday — the Olive Garden Lunch Menu is a weekday-only offering at the restaurants whose official menu materials we checked.
We did not find official confirmation that the Olive Garden Lunch Menu runs on Saturday or Sunday at these stores. If weekend lunch pricing matters for your visit, we’d rather send you to confirm directly with your local restaurant or the Olive Garden app than guess at a weekend price or availability window we can’t verify against an official source.
The WEEKDAY Lunch Special: Soup, Salad & Breadsticks
The single most-ordered item on the Olive Garden Lunch Menu, by reputation, is the WEEKDAY Lunch Special: a cup of homemade soup (Zuppa Toscana, Pasta e Fagioli, Minestrone or Chicken & Gnocchi), the house salad, and unlimited breadsticks, all together for the lowest price on this entire Lunch Menu in our research. It’s available during the same 11am–3pm, Monday–Friday window as the rest of the Lunch-Sized Favorites.
For the soup, salad and breadsticks combo in more depth — including whether it’s offered outside the lunch window — see our dedicated Soups, Salad & Breadsticks guide.

Our Methodology
Olive Garden Lunch Menu prices were captured directly from Olive Garden’s own official official Lunch Favorites page at our three research stores — Atlanta, GA (East Point–Camp Creek), Dallas, TX (I-30 and Westmoreland Rd) and New York, NY (Times Square) — on 14 Sep 2026, re-verified 1 Oct 2026.
Lunch Menu hours (11am–3pm, Monday–Friday) were confirmed directly against Olive Garden’s own official in-restaurant menu signage, not a third-party source. We did not find official confirmation of weekend availability and we’re disclosing that gap rather than assuming either way.
Exact store-level prices were retained rather than averaged. We never estimate, average or invent a price or an hours window we can’t verify against an official source.
