Is Olive Garden open on Memorial Day 2023?

Memorial Day is typically the holiday of barbecues and picnics, but that doesn’t mean people aren’t going to restaurants like Olive Garden. And because people are having backyard barbecues, it might be a lot less busy. A bonus! And really, there is never a bad time for Olive Garden.

But is Olive Garden actually open on Monday, May 29, 2023? Luckily, they are! It is one of the holidays they are open. They are really only closed on Thanksgiving and Christmas and have reduced hours on Christmas Eve and the day before Thanksgiving.

Fortunately, since they are open, you don’t have to worry about that. Just make sure to check your local restaurant to see what their specific hours are.

Olive Garden also has a bunch of specials for Memorial Day weekend and for those who are graduating. If you don’t feel like cooking or are looking to get food for a graduation party, Olive Garden caters as well. And the catering menu is just as good as the normal one. It includes items like Chicken Alfredo, Lasagna Classico, and Five Cheese al Forno. And don’t forget to get your salad and breadsticks (the best part!).
