View all feedback. What Aubrey Skiles doesn't like about East Side Mario's:
Have been a number of times to this location. The food is average, at best and depending on the time and day, service can be excellent or terrible. This time was a Sunday afternoon (1:45 p.m.) and service was rather slow. Great for families, not so much for couples. View all feedback.
