Most Olive Garden locations close at 10 p.m. Monday–Thursday and 11 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, with Sunday usually closing at 10 p.m.

Typical Olive Garden Hours

  • Monday–Thursday: 11:00 a.m. – 10:00 p.m.
  • Friday: 11:00 a.m. – 11:00 p.m.
  • Saturday: 11:00 a.m. – 11:00 p.m.
  • Sunday: 11:00 a.m. – 10:00 p.m.

In practice, staff often stop taking new tables or large orders in the last 30 minutes before closing so the kitchen can shut down on time.

Holiday and location quirks

  • Some holidays have shorter hours (for example, earlier closing on New Year’s Eve and Christmas Eve).
  • Thanksgiving and Christmas Day are generally closed.
  • Individual restaurants may stay open a bit later in busy areas or close earlier in smaller markets, so hours can vary by location.

How to check your exact location

  • Go to Olive Garden’s official locations page, enter your city or ZIP, then click “Hours & More” for that specific restaurant.
  • This will show today’s opening and closing time, plus any special or holiday changes.

TL;DR: If you’re wondering “how late is Olive Garden open?” the safe rule is: 10 p.m. most nights, 11 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, but always double‑check your local restaurant’s page before you head out.
