Usually I have always rated Old Spaghetti Factory with high marks, but not today. On a recent visit with a large party, we had an awful wait staff. We were seated quicker than normal, but the service was horrible. They... (more)

The Old Spaghetti Factory is not at all like what the name might imply - it's in no way resembling a factory at all. On the contrary, it's in a beautiful, historic old building with chandeliers and Victorian... (more)

I can't see how someone would say anything negative about the OLF!! They are awesome. Yes, I agree the wait is long, but you get good food: unlimited bread, salad, your meal and ice cream all for one low price. The OSF is... (more)

I for some reason I get fooled again and again to try The Old Spaghetti Factory one more time. I was fortunate to have the Lynnwood site open a couple of years ago. Thinking, no more drives to downtown. But Wait Wait Wait... (more)

We love this place when we want a fun and inexpensive place to take our kids. They love the Italian sodas and the never ending bread loaves. They serve the usual "american" style pasta dishes and we've never been... (more)

I can't believe that this place got a best of rating for cheap eats. These prices aren't cheap and the food wasn't good at all. Pasta was either overcooked or seriously undercooked. and the sauces were all very bland.... (more)
