First time eating at this location. First difference is that in an almost empty restaurant they seated us at the table immediately next to the other patrons.
First time that has happened. Mentioned it, and got shrugged off. Seems like they don't care.
Not the end of the world, but a lot different than my regular visits at Walnut Grove, New West and Gastown.
Food was good, waitress was great.
Hostess was meh. Probably check out a diff restaurant when I'm in Abbotsford.
There is definitely a difference from location to location, not just in staffing but in food quality as well.
Have visited afew old spaghetti factory locations Whistler, and Langley and enjoyed them a fair amount for a chain restaurant, but truthfully this location didn't live up to those past visits.
Not to say the food was bad, it was pretty average, just some marked differences from what we had experienced in the past at other locations.
Both my wife and I found our salads a ceaser and a garden salad to be heavy with an almost overpowering vinegar that we hadn't experienced before, the bread was not as hot and fresh as we are used to at a spaghetti factory and the butter was not the soft easily spreadable whipped butter that normally comes with the bread.
The lasagna I ordered was nice and hot as usual when ordered so that was great, but I felt it was light on meat sauce and far too heavy on the ricotta cheese to the point the taste and texture was overwhelmingly ricotta cheese and not much else.
Given the number of differences in food quality from our point of view I gave this location a 3 star review, however the staff as usual where very friendly and fast, the location is clean and well maintained and as I said the food wasn't bad, just not as we expected, perhaps on a future visit I'd try a different menu item and give it another go.
Generally Old Spaghetti Factory is a budget friendly place to have a nice family meal..but since it's a chain not exactly real Italian food.
