I went here one time and that was enough. The food is cold, it is frozen food quality. The place is freezing in there also. I only ate ¼ of my food.

Welp, I guess enough people got sick of their insanely crappy service and they are now out of business! I must say I am looking forward to the new Firehouse Subs taking their place! My first Unilocal mission is accomplished!

Closed! It was a long time coming as it has not been good in years! It will be a Firehouse Sub. Yay!

Long ago, this was a place with some unique tastes at a great price. I don’t know what has happened since then, but quality is WAY down. I gave it two chances in the last couple months and the first of those the spaghetti was watery and sauce was runny… and the last time the food actually wouldn’t even stay down. Sad to see what used to be a favorite turn out this way.

This place is really not that good. It’s cheap Italian food and tastes like cheap Italian food. There is nothing memorable on the menu as being great or even kind of good, however some things stick in my mind as being borderline terrible — for example, the spaghetti, which is bad because it’s also the name of the place. I wasn’t expecting much as it’s fast food Italian, but this was not too good. I was hoping it would be something like a Fazoli’s, but it wasn’t near as good, which is saying a lot! Only go here if you have a coupon and are really craving Italian so quickly that you don’t feel like buying a box of spaghetti noodles and can of Prego and heating it up yourself. They’re actually probably not even much faster than doing that on your own.

Regardless of the pasta dishes they carry(which ive tried and are watered down like everyone else says haha) BUT i just wanted to review their garlic bread. I LOVEIT. Its the OnLy thing i order from there because its the only kind that doesnt get all hard when its cold, and its all soft and moist. Is best when just fresh from the oven, but its soooo good. And its really cheap too! I always got the loaf… So 3 stars for the bread but i woulda put 5 but the rest of the pasta dishes on menu sorta took those away. But just give their bread a try.

This place is not worth even wasting your money. The food was so bad. I only ate about 1⁄3 of my meal and the soda was flat. The only thing we liked was the garlic bread. Don’t waste your time or money… go to any other local italian place would be better.

I purchased a $ 25GC(with a $ 45 minimum purchase). After seeing inside, I knew I was not going to be able to achieve this with just my wife and my 16 mo old daughter.. . And I was right. The place was empty when we got there on Saturday night, one person was waiting for carry out, however, as it turns out, we arrived around closing time. Looking over the menu, we decided on the family salad, mozzarella sticks, chicken parmesan, cheese ravioli and the child’s rigatoni with two sodas. She brought us the salad, in its aluminum container with two styrofoam bowls(we had already picked up our plastic utensils) and our packets of honey mustard and ranch dressing. At least it was crispy, if uninspiring. The mozzarella sticks came next, nothing exciting. The pasta dishes were fine, again, nothing exciting. The Dr. Pepper was fine, but I tried a mix of fruit punch and Sierra Mist and it tasted a bit funky. Since my wife had the Sierra Mist alone and did not complain, I am guessing it was the fruit punch. I suppose if I got a extra appetizer and some desserts(which I imagine were those cookie packages at the counter), I could have made the $ 45 minimum, but I decided to pass. The meal cost right around $ 30. Since I only paid $ 2 for the GC, there’s a good possibility that I won’t use it, although if I were in a pinch for a large order of average Italian food, I’d probably come back here. The woman taking our order and serving us was very nice though. One thing I found a bit unnerving was the occasional«ding», which to me sounded like a microwave oven going off, and since we were the only people in the restaurant.. . Well you be the judge.. .

Okay, truthfully this place is as simple as it looks. But look at the name– it’s called Spaghettis. That isn’t even a word, so don’t come here expecting fancy italian cuisine. Now as for the food, I suspect they do more business catering than they do in store. The restuaurant is very bare bones, almost no customers when I go in there and the food comes in aluminum foil containers that they probably heat up as you order. The guy once told me that he made that«batch» in the morning leading me to believe they don’t really cook things up as you order but have it pre made. However!— bulk made or not it is delicious AND filling. I enjoy eating and have the tendency to eat a lot but I always leave this place full. They do offer a level of customization to the dishes, but only in what kind of sauce or meat you get. I almost always get the baked ziti because it is amazingly tasty. The salads are very generic and I wouldn’t recommend getting them. The soda fountain has a limited number of options but I don’t drink much soda so it’s not a big deal to me. I would recommend this if you have noone to impress or are by yourself. You could also order enough to bring home and feed your family and I am sure they would enjoy it. Don’t let the low stars scare you away, I admit is a very simple restaurant with a limited menu but the food is tasty and not overpriced. PS: The heater does seem to be on the fritz but I’ve never been cold in there.

I hadn’t been here in over 2 years; went a couple weeks ago to order my fave chicken alfredo… IDK if they underwent a management change or new owners or what, but that dish is NOT how I remember. The chicken was meager and didn’t taste good, at all. I ended up spending $ 13 on something(including a $ 2 tip — IDK why there’s a spot for a tip because there’s certainly no table service and the frozen dinner quality /sized portions are expensive enough) that I should’ve gone elsewhere for. Until this place either lowers prices or steps up quality, avoid at all costs.

For years, we have avoided going to this restaurant, but they suddenly were on and we figured first Entertainment, now …maybe they aren’t so bad. Bad mistake… Disappointing is a mild adjective to describe this crappy culinary experience. Food was worse than the cheapest microwaveable food you can get from a supermarket. Veal parm was tasteless, and limp as a piece of wet cardboard caked in soggy sawdust. Spaghetti reminded me of school cafeteria food — too bad the price wasn’t comparable! Menu from website stated a variety of desserts, but restaurant really only offered packaged cookies! Pizza bread was soggy, but was the best food ordered in comparison to the rest of our dinner. We even left behind a full to-go order of lasagna — that’s how bad the food tasted!

I didn’t vomit. This was the high point of my lunch. I am amazed by how my coworker and I manage to pinpoint mediocrity when we venture beyond our local favorites. Of the fountain sodas we tried, both the Dr Pepper and Mountain Dew were completely flat. Zero carbonation. I probably couldn’t clean my toilet with it if I tried. Table was a little too dirty for his taste, so he wiped it down; too bad the shakers were sticky too. Garlic bread was not as forgettable as I would like; basically a fat man’s hot dog bun sprinkled with garlic salt, buttered, then toasted open face down. Meat sauce was basically the same bland ground beef you’d find in any storebought jar of marinara sauce. Cheese ravioli was edible, but lukewarm at best. Rigatoni was the most attractive of the photographed express meals, but reportedly failed to deliver as well. One bite of grey-brown meatball and I was glad I didn’t follow suit. My coworker said, «Mm, watery. Prego or Ragu?» Personally I was banking on Ragu. I’m not a waster but I tossed the rest of my flat soda once I used the bare minimum to wash down the hardening garlic bread. After looking at their paper catering/dining menu, I’m always wary when the items offer a choice of something and when we’re placing it they don’t ask which of the choices we’d like. We were also told that they would begin having lunch«specials»(literally, air quotes were used by the counter guy’s fingers– I have to restrain myself right now from going back and putting quotes around phrases such as «garlic bread» and«Italian») starting next week, but we won’t be back. Feel free to come here if you want to pay 10 bucks for Italian fare served to you by nonItalians that tastes substandard to Chef Boyardee.

I have eaten here before and I have really enjoyed it. It has been a few years since I have eaten here. My 3.5 year old wanted speghetti, so met my wife and daughter here for dinner last night. The food was good. I got the speghetti with meatballs, and I enjoyed it. The salad was not good, the lettuce was a little on the oldish side. My wife had the trio, and she liked it too. was not too too impressed but she thought it was good. My daughter loved it. I would give it 4 stars, but only giving it three starts for two reasons. 1) I was freeeeezing in there. the heat was broken and they did have a few heaters in there but that did not do much good. We had to eat with our jackets on. 2) Also, took my daughter to the potty, and the bathroom had a odd smell to it, like it had not been cleaned recently. It was not really dirty, but not clean if you get my point. I would def go again, probably for lunch, or a dinner date with my daughter. Dont know if my wife would be interested in going again, but my daughter and I would… Next time maybe I can knock it up to 4 stars.

This place has been around for years and is now called Spaghetti’s. Good place to get a quick bite for lunch or dinner. The staff is pretty friendly. You can order pasta by the bucket for small groups. Half orders start under $ 3.00.
