The Old Spaghetti Factory

So the misses felt like spaghetti and meatballs, we stopped for her to try them out here. I wish I could give this place a good review. The service was wonderful, the inside was very nice, and the bar was well stocked, and looked great. Bread with butter was nice as well. Now for the Cons, they give military discounts ONLY ON TUESDAYS. I appreciate any one who gives military, police, and Fire Dept a discount, but limiting it to one day is kinda sad. How about 10% on Tuesday and 5% the rest of the time. The second was the salad, it was ok, Not even close to Olive garden salad, could be a little fresher, The spaghetti and meatballs was lacking, the spaghetti tasted like plain regular spaghetti at the supermarket for a dollar, and the meat balls were a little smaller than I expected (that's what she said). Not much, just a little. The meatballs also were very plain, no seasoning. I didn't taste garlic, onion, or anything. I didn't even pick up on any real flavor. Also, not really a meaty flavored either. Tasted more like filler/bread than actual beef. Chef Boyardee meat balls have more flavor. Really sad, she is Italian, and I love good flavor. For a dish that's $20.00 with a very small salad, and one small scoop of ice cream, the price doesn't fit the food you get. For bland meatballs, I expect at least 3-4 of that size, with maybe some more sauce with more flavor to counter the lack of flavor from the meat. The sauce seemed pretty basic. Maybe it was a bad night for meatballs, and sauce. Ice cream at the end was fine, 1 small scoop of chocolate, cherry, pistachio. That was good. I don't think I will come here again unless a group I am with really wants too. And I'll update if I do. Last thoughts, if you're doing a family owned, and pure Italian family operated restaurant, please make sure at least the spaghetti and meatballs taste like it is an Italian family recipe. Not a bland, bread ball, that tastes like the same bread from the table.
