What User likes about East Side Mario's:
We have gone to this restaurant several times. We enjoy the lunch menu as we can feast on a variety of pastas, pizzas, salad, bread, soup and sandwiches for only $9.99. Lots of vegetarian options on the menu! The service is always great at this location and they are quick to refill drinks and offer more bread or salad. View all feedback. What User doesn't like about East Side Mario's:
OMG how long does it take to make 3 kids meals and 2 adult meals?. Answer: 49 minutes at half capacity. And haven't been there since the reno Congrats you now look like a quick serve restaurant. Sat across from a McDonald's and wished we went there instead. Really miss the old school way you looked with all the photos and items depicting how new York once was. Now the strung Christmas lights remind me the festive sea... View all feedback.

East Side Mario's offers a mix of experiences, with some customers expressing frustration over long wait times and low-quality dishes, while others enjoy the affordable all-you-can-eat options and pleasant service. Despite occasional complaints of overlooked quality in dishes such as salads with brown lettuce or questionable meat offerings, the overall consensus seems to be positive, especially noting the customer-focused efforts of the owner and the friendly service received. The restaurant is commended for its variety of menu options, especially for vegetarians, and for maintaining consistency in portion sizes and prices even during challenging times like the pandemic.
