Chicken Mishap: Undercooked & Ill - Olive Garden, Altamonte Springs Florida

300 Florida 436, Altamonte Springs, 32714 Florida, United States

Visited on 09/11/18. Bought side of grilled chicken and side of fettuccine Alfredo for myself. My son got grilled chicken Alfredo (BOGO special). We also ordered mozzarella sticks and minestrone soup. My chicken tasted funny, not lack of seasoning just off somehow. Sliced a piece, chicken has blueish/brownish tint inside, not of fat, but it looked gross, another piece also looked undercooked or not stored at right temp before cooking/during storing. I showed waitress, she was also grossed out, sent it back told her I’m not eating that. She comes back stating kitchen is making a new piece, ok. I wait about 10 minutes or so, she comes back with chicken in a separate plate stating it was a new piece. I cut into it and realize I just cut into the same piece I had before, same tint as I described above, I call her back told her all that was done was put back on the grill to get more color and mask the issue, she apologized profusely and manager comes out, very nice apologetic and comped part of my check and asked if I wanted anything else which I told her no because it was just gross and I told her the last thing I need is to get sick or my son. She offers her card we leave. My son never finished his original meal, said food didn’t sit well, brushed it off and we left. Not long after while running errands his stomach starts to hurt and his head, uses the restroom thinking end of story. Evening comes and he is vomiting and diarrhea and sweating from the blinding pain. Manages to fall asleep until the pains awake him again, stabbing pains diarrhea and vomiting left and right, barely made the ER trip and starts all over again. It was the chicken, it looked gross and tasted funny, I let OG know today, either the people who made it were sick or something is off in that kitchen, I’m sure others got sick and are wondering what was it they ate that made them sick, not everyone puts two and two together and just brushes stuff off. We won’t b going back there but fair warning to all look at ur food. FYI...OG was the first thing and only thing we had eaten that day. Management was nice to me, I will say that but for kitchen staff/waitress to tell me it’s a new piece of chicken when it’s clear it’s not is unacceptable, a customer says the food taste and looks funny and it’s very obvious to a blind person the chicken looks gross then u throw it out u don’t add some color/grill it hoping it well blend in on the grill and pass it off as new chicken when clearly the parsley from the noodles is still on the pieces of chicken that u so called say is the new piece. | Symptoms: Diarrhea, Fever, Nausea, Vomiting, Sweating
