We generally try to stay away from chain restaurants while were traveling, but because Old Spaghetti Factories tend to take on their local character,... Read Full Editorial

Convenient with Kids by Jenny J. via KidScore on 1/6/2013

The Old Spaghetti Factory is quick to become a family favorite because their service is fast, friendly and their food is delicious. Adult entrees incl...

A fun place to eat for years upon years. by Travel Freak via Citysearch on 1/1/2012

This is a quirky pasta place in an old building that provides a good meal at a remarkable price. This is not a gourmet Italian restaurant so I'm a bit confused by some of the other reviews. Were you confused when you walked into the giant…

Busy but quick! by Islandlovers via Citysearch on 11/26/2010

We brought our daughter here for her birthday and found the place just as charming as it was back when it first opened in 1969. I couldn't possibly eat all my dinner so I took it home and had it for lunch the next day. It was so…

Old Spaghetti? Maybe that's why... by George A via Insider Pages on 4/5/2010

I have to concur with so many others with a strong dislike of this place. I've been to the one by pier 70 in Seattle and the one in Lynnwood. BOTH have been at best, mediocre. The food is somewhere between bad and (on a good day)…

Good food, long wait. by Chantelle L via Insider Pages on 8/15/2009

Great food (at a high price), but the wait is very long. If you are looking for a great dining atmosphere and like the "authentic" old theme, this is a neat place. Just make reservations far in advanced and remember that good food and…

The Old Spaghetti Factory is a place for great food and memorys. by holly k via Insider Pages on 8/6/2009

I grew up on and off in Seattle, The Old Spaghetti Factory is one of the places i remember going to with my family. I miss it a lot, then when i moved to California years after, my dad told me there is another Old Spaghetti Factory in San…

Kitschy Italian restaurant churns out heaping plates of pasta that won't break the bank. by Contributor via Citysearch on 10/6/2008

In Short
Whimsical antiques and decorative items--velvet armchairs, vintage-looking fringed lamps and booths made from iron bedsteads--fill the dining room. The OSF Classics menu offers spaghetti with a choice of mushroom sauce,…

Great Family Restaurant by HelloLuna via Citysearch on 9/15/2008

I am sad to see so many poor reviews of the Old Spaghetti Factory. It is true that the wait can be lengthy but if you take 30 seconds to call the restaurant about an hour before you plan to arrive you will be put on a waiting list, and…

Why would you ever want to eat here!? by nelson4252 via Citysearch on 5/14/2008

-The sauce comes from a can and lacks any flavor, about the same quality as a high school cafeteria.\r -The pasta feels like it was under cooked and then placed under a heat lamp for hours. \r -There is a pungent odor of something I…

An enjoyable experience.............in spite of what I read here. by tom2008 via Citysearch on 3/21/2008

After reading some of the reviews below, my wife and I were a bit apprehensive. We were therefore surprised at what an enjoyable evening we had. The service was excellent...prompt and polite. We enjoyed the cheese bread and our meals. …

Mediocre to Poor by cutebirdie via Citysearch on 11/23/2007

I have patronized this restaurant as well as the one in Tacoma, WA. Both restaurants serve very mediocre to poor quality tasting food. I mean, afterall, is it Mrs. Smith's second grade class cooking in the kitchen because that is how it…

GREAT food but... SAW A MICCE HERE! by peter_jun via Citysearch on 7/14/2007

Couple of friends and I went to this place couple months ago and while we were waiting for our food we saw this rodent crawling across the wooden floors. We told the waiter there but he brushed it off like he didn't even hear us.…

Bring the kids. by tlc_critique via Citysearch on 11/20/2006

This place is the best for families! Even the pickiest eaters should find something they like on the kids' menu (mac-n-cheese, applesauce, spaghetti). And parents have a variety of standard Italian dishes to choose from. The atmosphere is…

Not impressed by kee22 via Citysearch on 11/16/2006

I heard for a long time that this was a good place to eat. So when I went with some ppl, I was surprised at the quality of this restaurant. I had spaghetti and tasted some of my friend's food too...it wasn't all that great. The salad also…

An Institution by alisonkramer via Citysearch on 10/26/2006

I;ve been coming here for longer than I can remember, and its always the same story. Huge portions of predictable pasta served by eager servers in a bustling dining space. The food isn't fantastic, but its certainly affordable, a definite…

Good value by dmanjam via Citysearch on 9/30/2006

If you are near the waterfront and don't want to spend a fortune, the Spaghetti Factory is the place to go. You may have to wait awhile because the Factory is always crowded. Most times the wait is about 30 minutes, it looks like it will…

... and ye old terrible customer service! by Jeff .. via Judy's Book on 8/24/2006

We took my daughter out for her Bday to the Old Spaghetti factory this week it was quite busy when we arrived. Since they do not take reservations we knew we would have to wait it out.. BUT we planned to go somewhere else if we were going…

Cafeteria Italian food by honeysuck via Citysearch on 6/27/2006

Good ambiance, awesome location, awkward servers, gross food. Ick. To start, the lettuce in my salad was chewy & rubbery. Why would a restaurant knowingly serve OLD lettuce? They served us big hearty portions of lasagne and chicken…

Bad Italian food by E. S via Insider Pages on 6/27/2006

The only thing good about this place is the eclectic decorating. The food is overpriced and not good quality, nothing authentic about this place and definitely not worth the long wait. Strictly a place for tourists!

The Old Spaghetti Factory by Marie B. via Judy's Book on 5/7/2006

I had heard so many good things about this place, mainly that it was fun and the food was great. How true. The atmosphere is fun yet comforting upon entering the front door. There is plenty of room to maneuver in. The interior is filled…
