    I eat out a lot, and Sam was one of the best servers I’ve had in a very long time - perhaps ever. She was cheerful, enthusiastic, very attentive, and fast! She made dining in this restaurant a real pleasure.

    Corporate greed has ruined East Side Marios. It is no longer all you can eat soup, salad and bread. Its now how much can you convince the kitchen to let you have. 3 adult meals we had to ask for 3 loaves of bread. Another would have been denied. Felt guilty asking for an extra salad. Best part. If you don't eat all your pizza YOU HAVE TO PAY EXTRA FOR A TAKEOUT PIZZA BOX. We were allowed to have takeout pasta boxes for our pizza. Ridiculous and worst 'east side marios' experience ever.

    The prices are high for poor service. I don't know if it is Gen Z's sleeping-on-the-job attitude, or a restaurant that doesn't prize excellent, but this is mediocre fare at best for air-head service at high prices.

    Mary was fantastic, very friendly, welcoming, and easy to talk to from the moment we sat down. She was attentive without hovering and made sure everything was taken care of throughout the meal. She really helped create a relaxed, enjoyable experience. The only small downside was the Caesar salad missing bacon, but her great service more than made up for it.

    Going to East Side Mario’s in Huntsville, Ontario was an amazing experience from start to finish. From the moment we walked through the doors, the restaurant had a warm and welcoming atmosphere that made us feel comfortable and excited for our meal. The smell of fresh Italian food filled the air, and the cozy setting made it the perfect place to sit back, relax, and enjoy good food with great company. One of the biggest reasons our visit was so enjoyable was our server, Craig. Craig was incredibly funny, kind, and welcoming, which instantly made the experience better. He had a great sense of humor and knew exactly how to make us laugh without ever being unprofessional. His positive attitude made us feel valued as customers and turned a regular dinner into a memorable outing. Craig also worked fast and efficiently, which was impressive to see. He took our orders quickly, made sure everything was accurate, and checked in on us at just the right times. Our food arrived promptly and exactly how we ordered it, showing that Craig paid close attention to detail. Even though the restaurant was busy, he never seemed rushed or stressed and handled everything smoothly. The food itself was delicious, but the outstanding service truly made the visit special. Craig’s friendliness and efficiency showed how important great customer service is to a dining experience. Because of him, we left feeling happy, satisfied, and excited to come back again. Overall, our visit to East Side Mario’s in Huntsville, Ontario was unforgettable. The welcoming atmosphere, delicious food, and especially Craig’s amazing service made it an experience worth talking about. It was clear that the staff cared about their customers, and because of that, East Side Mario’s is a place I would happily recommend to anyone looking for a great meal and an even better time.
