Reviews for The Old Spaghetti Factory in Tukwila, WA

We had a birthday party with quite a few people probably about 22. They were very accommodating. The food was delicious and and... we received it in a timely manner. I thought the prices were quite reasonable. And the ambiance of the restaurant is reallyactually very cool. Read more

We came in pretty late for a Wednesday with a party of 5. It was a short 20 minute wait. We had new servers that did a great... job. Our food was delicious. We were the last table in the restaurant, and didn't even know it.... because we never felt rushed.Thank you for the great dinner! Read more

Upon arrival hostess informed me wait time would be 35 to 45 minutes. Because new place to try, my members were willing to... wait. Received text message of reservation. At the 35 minute mark, the hostess, in an apologetic manner said that due to shortwait staff, my family meal time may be even long (possibly another hour). Being that the place was new to my family, we decidedto wait. Within 5 minutes after the hostess had informed my family of the new wait time, she had announced we have a table;then proceeded to seat my family. The waiter came to our table about 5-10 minutes after being seated. Was tremendouslyfriendly and all smiles. He took our order…. Food was great! Only reason for not full 5 stars, is the fact that wait time tobe seated due to shortage of wait staff. Read more

Service was great! Our waitress was outstanding! You can always count on the food tasting exactly like Old Spaghetti Factory... style…just like it was 40 years ago the first time I went to the San Diego location. It’s not the best, but you don’t gothere for that…it’s the memories…our family has enjoyed visiting multiple locations over the years! Read more

Weird that they only take a few reservations, then it's pretty much take your chances and wait at the door. Hostess on the... phone wouldn't even let the kitchen or wait staff know we had a large party coming. Once we arrive we're told it would be atwo-hour wait. Would have left, but it's our birthday girl's favorite place. Turned out the wait was just over an hour. Onceseated, our server, Melissa, was phenomenal. She handled all the orders, kept our drinks full, and oversaw all the orders asthey were delivered. Across 16 dinners, there was only one mistake, and it was minor. The overall experience was great. Wouldhave been excellent if they had taken my reservation. Read more

First time and probably the last time I'll be dining at this place. At least for a very very long time. Understandably, they... are probably understaffed as they had an hour wait at 5 pm on a weekday but their reasoning is that they have a lot ofreservations. Fortunately for us the bar was open and when i went around, there were a ton of empty tables and a small handfulof service staff.. The bartender did well on our drinks but when we got our food. We got the main entree first... had to askthe staff for our soup that was another 15 mins and we never got our bread that came with the meal. As for the food, my schoolcaferia lunch was better. Soup had no taste, pasta was dry and the ice cream tasted like it was from them knock off namebrand. By far the worst restaurant I've dined in this year. Read more

Service was lacking. When seated only a dinner menu was on the table. It was around noon so I asked if they had a lunch menu.... They don't freely offer this. Food took a long time. Food wasn't anything special. No refills. Read more

The salad was delicious and so was the dessert. The main course chicken Marsala was not so pleasant, the plate was too hot but... the chicken was surprisingly cold-ish, felt as the piece of chicken was thaw in the microwave and sauce poured on top to make ithot. Had to let my waiter know. She kindly served me a second plate, this time spaghetti was hot enough and but chicken wasn’texactly well served still, edges around were hard making it uncomfortable to chew. Read more
