East Side Mario's

I love having lunch/dinner at Marios but today our order took more than 1 hour to be served! The waiter was super kind but the food took too long

Friendly and fast service and good food. We had a very large group of people but despite us not having a reservation, and it being dinner time, they still got us tables really quickly.

Great Place To Celebrate A Birthday!
We had a large gathering last Thursday to celebrate a birthday. Not only they were able to accommodate our group, the service was excellent, the décor/atmosphere was great, and especially the food was awesome. I liked the idea of the unlimited salad and/or soup and ample supply of buttered loaves of break. We will certainly be coming back!

Amazing service and the food was really good this time and the Caesar salad was really fresh this time.

I give it a 4.25. Food was pretty good but pasta was bland. Had the Chicken Parm. Service was excellent! I'll be back

Family-friendly, casual atmosphere and variety of pleasing Italian-inspired food. Some vegetarian options, including the BEST cauliflower crust pizza I've ever had. Only 4 star for food as the prices were steep.

Ah! East Side Mario’s! What is it that brings me back here once a year despite my best judgement, you ask? The kids of course. East side’s is the happy meal, the Big Mac you could say, of corporate Canadian Italian dining. Where mediocrity and sauce from giant bags are served hot. One cannot miss the marinara, with it’s ketchup red glow, and fine seasoning consisting of salt. The endless bread and margarine, and iceberg lettuce salad are the stars of the show, before the main course that brings forth the true essence of the frozen food aisle. As I sat with my children - victims of marketing - and I victim of their false beliefs and underdeveloped taste buds, I witnessed a mystery. Of epic proportions! There sat four grown adults, without brood, ordering food at this restaurant. As I chewed my-veal-tastes-like-chicken, of the rubber type, I pondered their state. Did someone force them here like bingo day at the retirement residence? Did the friendly smiles of the staff belie something more sinister at play? There was no way to truly know. As the waiter dropped gelato cones on the table, a trick, where once there were a trio of ice cream cones, and I looked at my bill that must of blown in accidentally from a finer establishment, I was thankful, grateful even. That the sun would circle the sky 365 days until my next lapse in judgement.

Although the food is really tasty and service is good, I was shocked today when I just called and was told that the restaurant is not accepting any reservations, this is really sad, and what would be a logical reason behind that?

It was busy but food was great n my bro had unlimited soup n salad n bread he had 6 rounds and 3 pitchers will deff be back asap! Back again and our server took great care of us! Thank you so much carley u da best

Ordered my usual dish i get from them, sausage and pepper pasta dish. Its been awhile since i went into a east sides since covid started so i needed to get out with my gf. We got our food and i noticed the portion was smaller then before and i thought nothing of it until i started to eat. The pasta was well overcooked and i could not even eat it. I had some salad because we only saw our server 1 time since ordering so i couldnt ask for more salad, bread or salad. When the server came back to see us i told her about the pasta and they told me it was made in the morning and has sat most of the day, they then told me they could remake the dish but the pasta would be the same as it has been sitting most of the day. I shortly after that cancelled the order because it would be no change whatsoever.i will never go back unless they start actually giving u what you pay for and start to cook the pasta when its ordered. Takes 20min max. And the 1/3 of a italian sausauge on some plain sauce with some green pepper and 1 spicy pepper would not even out to a 26 dollar dish no taxes. And with a decreased amount i would still be hungry if i didnt like salad and bread even if it was very limited amounts.
I paid and left.i learned just to never go back

We were served by Brad tonight and he was so personable and my grandkids absolutely loved him. Thanks once again for a wonderful dinner.

Simply amazing. The service level made us feel like at home. So grateful the garlic bread is heaven, and shrim scampi: OMG! Thank you. Our family loves the booths, so comfy.

I didn’t have the best experience in this location. Hopefully it gets better in the next week. It was a busy day (Saturday), and it took forever to get drinks and salads. I can’t even talk about the refill, cuz you can imagine yourself. Child’s drink never came and it was added in the final bill, which was removed once I complained. The server was very nice, btw.

Bread and salad was good, and the food too. My kids had a great time, despite all of the above.

Went here with friends from out of town. We went on Wednesday which allowed us all you can eat pasta, as well as all you can eat salad and bread. Even though it was near closing time, we were treated very well and the food was amazing. Lastly, our server, Chris, was one of the best we've had at any restaurant. He was personable, kind, and kept coming back to check on us. I highly recommend this location.

One male of the staff, was constantly shouting. It sure doesn't make for a pleasant atmosphere to relax and try to enjoy a meal. I can't figure out why he wears glasses in his hair.

The place is very noisy.

Chris is among the most professional waiter I have ever met. He should be a teacher un Algonquin College on the subject.

We came on a Friday evening to celebrate our daughter's birthday. Restaurant was loud, but that's to be expected because it was full. We ordered pasta and a club wrap. Delicious and worth waiting for. Evan S was fantastic. Very attentive, happy and helpful. His suggestion of 3 cheese tortellini was a great choice! He also took time to show my little girl the bathroom, she really liked him as well. Hope to have him again on a future visit. 5***** for a lovely night out:)

Dined in and had amazing service from Aly! She was quick and had an amazing knowledge of the menu! Will ask for her section next time we come in!
