    We love going to East side Mario's, the kids always enjoy their experience. We always leave stuffed. Food quality is also as expected for price and chain restaurant , but still yummy nonetheless. Only complaint is some dishes are not as advertised. Particularly the lasagna-pasta-chicken trio, was the most disappointing. Regardless, we love going. Just would not order that plate again.

    Grabbed a quick bite after a lackluster shopping trip and this experience was less than stellar. We were greeted by someone we didn't identify as working at the restaurant. I thought he was also waiting to be seated as the greeting didn't happen as we walked in. Food and drinks were ordered at the same time to reduce the wait; however, we waited 20+ minutes for the salad and bread (although the restaurant was not as busy) and had to ask for refills of everything (including the sodas). The young lady who brought out our food appeared annoyed and our server (shorter of the 2 female servers), barely checked in on our meal for either quality check or refills without us asking. The first salad was underdressed and the 2nd salad, even more so. This experience was not the greatest; however, I will try another location and not write off this restaurant just yet.

    My family and I came to this location on a Saturday night when the restaurant was very busy. The food was great but the service is what makes us want to come back. Our server, Brianna was extremely attentive even though she had many other tables. Overall, great service, thanks!

    Absolutely amazing experience and I have to give most of the credit to my bartender Daniella. What an absolute gem. I let her know how much I love my House salad so she didn't let me see the bottom of my bowl once and she kept up with the refills so consistently. Her energy was so contagious I left happier than when I arrived. She convinced me to get the 3 course meal as well since it was ending soon which I appreciated as I loved the Oreo Cheesecake. Looking forward to going back and enjoying a game on their big screen.

    I went to East Side Mario’s for lunch with my coworkers, and we had a great experience overall. The atmosphere was pleasant and comfortable, and the service was excellent—our server was very friendly and attentive. The food was very good. The standout dish for us was the veggie pizza with leafy greens, a dark sauce, and caramelized onions. It was absolutely amazing and easily the best item we tried. We also had the cheese cappelletti with rosé sauce, which was rich, flavorful, and delicious. The veggie noodles with goat cheese and peppers were just okay and not really to our palate, but everything else made up for it. They also served bread, tomato soup, garden salad, and Caesar salad, all of which were fresh and tasty. Overall, it was a great dining experience with good food, great service, and a nice atmosphere. Definitely worth it.
