My family loves East Side Mario's. Our food is always good and we love how comfortable it is in this restaurant. (April) is who normally serve us, she makes us feel welcomed and ensures we have everything we need. She is hands down our favorite. Honestly not sure if we would go there if she wasn't there. Thank you April for your outstanding service.

Things went well with service. No complaints. Cheerful and out orders were taken correctly.
My only negative feedback was how fast all the food came out. The breadsticks then the salads then the pasta within seconds of each other… just would have liked to have a little more time I’m between to eat. Ended up too full to fast

Greg was amazing. Actually went and asked someone about how many loafs of bread and parmesean they go through in a week.. wild amount. LOL.
All you can eat for a solid price, cant go wrong.
I will say though, once that robot starts replacing jobs I won't be back. Not just an east side issue.
We need more human interaction today now more then ever. Community building yknow.

Excellent service and a truly personal experience
My wife and I have been coming to East Side Mario’s in Kingston for a long time, usually once a week, and we keep coming back for the delicious food and the excellent service provided by the staff, especially Kim. From the moment she greets us, Kim makes us feel welcome and genuinely appreciated. She knows what we like, remembers our usual orders, and always pays attention to the little details. That level of personalized service is something you usually find in high-end restaurants, and it truly makes a difference. The food at East Side Mario’s is always delicious, but Kim turns each visit into more than just a meal, she creates a warm and enjoyable experience that we look forward to every week. Her professionalism, kindness, and consistency reflect exactly what great hospitality should be. We are very grateful for her service and hope she receives the recognition she deserves. Gino & Patty.
