The Spaghetti Shop

the absolute worst meal we have ever had. my wife said, «now we know how to screw up a stromboli». do not waste your time nor money.

Spaghetti and sauce were good, but I had the baked chicken park and there was very little chicken. Garlic bread was dry with very little taste. Did not have wheat pasta.

This might be the lowest review I’ll give to date.
First the Pro’s:
It’s an inexpensive fast food pasta joint. You should be filled up if a bit bloated from all the spaghetti. The sauce was not bad, decent balance of seasonings without tasting too sweet it did not have a tinny canned taste. Garlic smells were good and inviting.
Con’s:
As I mentioned in my tip don’t expect anything healthy and although the online and printed menus claim whole wheat pastas are available there is none and has not offered it for a long time. We ate in but that meant nothing tin carryout bowls, collect your own napkins and plastic ware. I guess that’s ok. The place is kind of a dump, faded pictures, worn-​down counters cheap furishings, ugly Menu boards etc. They brag on everything about the world famous garlic bread, so I expected at least that would be good but I was wrong. In fact it was awful; cold dried out sandwich rolls with very little butter, no seasonings that we could taste and a sprinkle of tasteless parsley. It was truly bad.
My wife and I both ordered chicken parmesan you know what that should be. A chicken breast breaded in parmesan cheese and breads crumbs maybe with melted cheese on top, simple right? Wrong! Instead it was less than ¼ of chicken breast. The precooked slices you might by at Sams Club to put on salads! No breading no cheeses just a couple of slices of reheated frozen chicken.
Lastly, I asked if pasta came with the dish as the menus did not say. The cashier said there was a little under the chicken. What we got was a tin pan of baked pasta with cheese and that tiny bit of chicken.
All in all we won’t be back. If you need a lot of spaghetti heavy carbs and little protein for cheap this is your place.

This place isn’t what I expected, really. It’s a pasta fast food chain, which I didn’t know, but I didn’t let that put me down!
The staff are high school kids that would rather flirt and gossip with each other than pay the patrons any attention. We ordered simple spaghetti and it took a half hour while people that ordered more got their food first.
The dining room was dirty but an alright size with tables and booths. It’s close to a shopping area, so I guess a lot of business comes from shoppers with an appetite or high school kids loitering to hang out.
Don’t get me wrong, the food was good and a nice-​sized portion, but if you’re expecting a nice dining experience, skip it.

day 35 (i am that out of it its day 40!)
