East Side Marios

Disappointing. The staff were very immature. The waitresses were standing at the station behind our table discussing their lives very loudly.
The service was incredibly slow and the food quality was below average. We’ve sworn it off.

they are horrrrrible at this location. i ordered take out at 9:05pm for pick up and the idiot on the phone tells me the take out counter closed at 9pm… so i asked when the kitchen is open till and she tells me 11pm. so i say ok so if i come into the restaurant to order and you would let me box it up to go home but you wont take my take-​out order ?? she was rude and so so so very stupid. in general service is slow, overpriced– and cant believe this place is still in business in milton

There’s actually a franchise right by my house and I’ve never even tried it. Tonight I decided to try out the Milton location with my boyfriend.
We arrived around 6 pm and were seated immediately. I ordered the seafood linguini and he got the chicken strips with a side poutine. Both of these meals came with the unlimited option of soup or salad. We decided on the Caesar salad. Our server was friendly and attentive during our dinner. We enjoyed the Caesar salad and our main course. I really liked my pasta and how it came with a lot of mussels, scallops, and shrimp. I barely finished it so I’ll be having a delicious lunch tomorrow! My boyfriend said the chicken strips were okay and it tasted like McDonald’s nuggets. Next time he’ll get something less basic.
The only –1 was that the restaurant didn’t seem too clean. When we were brought to our table I noticed that were a lot of crumbs.
I’ll definitely be back and also visit the Heartland location!

I would put zero star if I can ,
Last time we went there me and my wife the food was soo bad that we left it, and we didn’t order something fancy, it just pasta with white sauce .
The pasta looked like it was done the day before, the sauce was watery like if you placed some milk and flour in water and served it .
Meat balls were horrible as well.

Went for dinner and drinks. Got great service, and the foods was served hot. The bread, salad and dessert were a nice part of the meal as well. We were there for over two hours having a leisurely dinner.

Poor service. Our meals for a party of 5 took over 30 minutes to be served. That is, between the first dish and the last dish, there was a 30 wait. Needless to say our goal of dining out as a family was ruined. All the staff appears to be in their early 20s. The host greeted us with what I would call street slang. Not a good experience, but the food was ok.

What can I say about this East Side Mario’s other than it is exactly what you’d expect from this chain including prices a little higher than you’d expect. The food is mediocre and the all you can eat bread, soup and salad they offer before the meal takes some will power not to fill up on if you’re really hungry. My husband LOVES the wedding soup.
I’ve been here a number of times over the years, and also ordered take-​out for a large group and they always come through with the same standard quality food and service.
They have a small patio on the parking lot. It’s a great place for kids (and was always my favourite chain when I saw little… I was a sucker for tables you can draw on, helium balloons, and post dinner lollipops.)

This is an Amazing restaurant! Looks amazing and is really spacious. The food is unbelievably delicious. Most of the waiters are really nice but some should learn to smile once in a while.
Overall it is a great restaurant! I highly recommend anyone to try it.

Really questionable service. It took literally two hours to get our meal. Kids were starving, now they are just cranky. I am supposed to have unlimited bread and salad … and would love to fill up on those except can’t even find a waiter (to be fair, he did come to apologize for slow service over 45 minutes ago). Honestly, this was the worst service I have ever received anywhere!

I had no idea that East Side Mario’s would have a vegan-​friendly selection. And not only do they have a small selection (for both lunch or dinner), but it’s pretty good at that.
The vegetarian pizza (without cheese) is fabulous and the bruschetta appetizer is one of my absolute favorites. I’ve also had one of their sandwiches too and it was delicious as well!
The service is a little lackluster depending on which location you visit and also sometimes the meals are prepared slightly differently. The first time I had the veggie pizza and bruschetta it was amazing (and in Milton), but then at a different location they added so much spice I couldn’t finish it.
So three stars is where East Side Mario’s lands for me. When my party wants to go out to East Side Mario’s, that’s A-​OK with me.
