Finding Your Local Olive Garden in Iowa

Iowa holds 12 Olive Garden restaurants in 12 cities, none of them doubling up. The Des Moines metro carries four through Des Moines, West Des Moines, Ankeny and Waukee. Eastern Iowa is served by Cedar Rapids, Coralville, Davenport and Dubuque. Ames covers the university town north of the capital, and Sioux City, Council Bluffs and Waterloo round out the west and north.

Every Iowa restaurant opens at 11 AM and closes at 10 PM Sunday through Thursday, staying open until 11 PM on Friday and Saturday. All 12 offer delivery and curbside pickup. I 80 runs past Council Bluffs, Des Moines, Coralville and Davenport, which makes a cross state drive easy to plan around.
