We all love going out to eat. Sometimes with the hustle and bustle of work, kids, and everyday chores, it is impossible to get home and make dinner so we may opt for dining out or ordering food to go.

The other side of the coin however is that it can get really expensive to dine out especially if you have a big family to feed and with the price of things going up, we all have to weigh out which option is best.

Well, the decision could be being made for you as with the price of everything going up, grocery stores and now event restaurants are feeling the sting and are forced to either close their doors due to declining profits or are forced to have to raise the prices for their food and services.

Such is the case with local and national chain restaurants nowadays. The latest national chain that is making some changes is The Olive Garden. When we did some research, we were surprised to find out that there are only two Olive Garden restaurant locations in the state of Louisiana. One is right here in Lake Charles and the other is in Lafayette.

We have learned that big changes are coming to Olive Garden but they won't be limited to just Louisiana locations. The companies all 900 plus restaurant locations across the country will be undergoing these adaptations.

Olive Garden will be increasing menu item prices and the hike is expected to go up between 2% to 3%. It was announced by Darden Restaurants after they had an earnings call. They announced their plans to increase menu prices across all their Olive Gardens locations which means the two locations in Louisiana will also be included in the price hikes.
