Terribly rude. The hostess lost track of people waiting to be seated and I got skipped. People who came in after me were eating while I waited. The manger rolled his eyes at me and said something along the lines on 'do you want a table or not.' I left without ordering. Horrible!!!
I and my two grown sons dined there in mid-Dec '25. The service was terribly slow. The food was very bland, with little seasoning or developed flavor. And worst of all, all three of us were pretty violently ill over the span of the next 24 hours. We will never return to this restaurant. Based on our prior experiences there, everything about it has gone very downhill.
Stopped for dinner. Food was delicious and server was funny and friendly.

We had a wonderful lunch here. We had our son with us and he loved seeing the train cars inside. The waitress was awesome and had some tricks to help keep our son entertained while we waited for food. Food was delicious and came out quickly. Overall, it was a great experience and we will be back!

This place completely blew us away—it didn’t just meet our expectations, it surpassed them in every way! From the moment we walked in, we knew we had found a true gem in downtown Eugene. The booth we sat in was so cozy, and the lighting created the perfect atmosphere.
Our waitress, Katie, was absolutely amazing—professional, attentive, and such a delight to talk to. She made our experience even more memorable. The food arrived so quickly and every bite was delicious.
We honestly can’t brag enough about this charming little spot. It’s rare to find a place that nails it all—ambiance, service, and food—but this one does. Wow! We’ll definitely be coming back again and again.

This business is located in the historic Oregon Electric Railway Passenger Station Building. It was built in 1914 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. This is a beautiful building and a must see. The food is fantastic here. Check it out!
Love the atmosphere, so unique! Food & service is always great!

I'm VERY upset at the handling of my banquet for 27 people last weekend. We had a conference of people coming from all over and I worked with their sales team for months planning a great banquet. But then when I showed up that evening, they had moved us to a smaller banquet room, without telling me, and there was no room for our silent auction items, so we had to hastily cram them onto an additional table that was moved in. I was upset but the manager wasn't sympathetic, he just said, sorry, if it's under 30 people we have to use the smaller room. But when I made the reservation months before, I thought we might have 35 people. So I was shown the bigger room and I told the lady about our silent auction, etc. When I gave her the final number of 27 people a few weeks before, NO ONE TOLD ME that they were going to move us to a smaller room. I was mortified. We were squished into this other room with way less charm. Will never book any event here again.

We had the best server. It was for my dad's 80th birthday. He loves trains so this was perfect. Food was on point. So yummy. Will definitely be back again.

Growing up in Italy, I’ve always had high expectations when it comes to pasta, and The Old Spaghetti Factory has become one of my go-to spots here. I stop by often for their classic spaghetti with mizithra cheese and browned butter. simple, rich, and so comforting, it instantly brings me back to Sunday family dinners in Turin. The quirky, vintage atmosphere makes it even more special, almost like stepping into a storybook
The dining experience commenced at 1:45 PM. After placing our drink order, we waited approximately 15 minutes for the drinks to arrive. Once served, the server took our food order. However, it wasn't until 3:20 PM that most of the food was delivered to our table; one child's meal had not been sent to the kitchen. Upon investigating, my sister-in-law discovered our waiter casually spending time in the kitchen. Throughout our visit, our table required multiple drink refills, which were not addressed. We finally left the restaurant around 4:20 PM. Additionally, the hostesses appeared distracted, as they were on their phones when we entered and exited. Overall, the food and service did not meet expectations considering the price.
Very disappointed and upset! My father called Tuesday and made reservations for 9 people today for Mother’s Day. We obviously knew what the day would be like without reservations for 9 people. Thank God my father thought to confirm the reservations, he always does this with reservations. However, they told him they didn’t have his reservations but that someone named Steve had those reservations. With this issue, they were unwilling to attempt to get us in and said we would have to wait. What is the point of making reservations if you still have to get on the waitlist and wait for a couple of hours. Extremely disappointed as this was my daughter’s choice for her birthday dinner. We were celebrating Mothers Day as well as her birthday and my birthday! This will ensure we never make reservations at Spaghetti Factory again. Thanks for a fabulous day Spaghetti Factory leaving us driving around to find somewhere to eat now.
The taste is very delicious
We haven’t been to the Old Spaghetti Factory for several years. We used to love it there. We had all of our family (party of 10) image0.jpeggo for my wife’s birthday dinner. I set up a reservation for 6:30. I figured that it may take a little bit for a table at that time of night even with a reservation. However, we didn’t even get our table until 7:42. We waited for approximately 30 minutes to get our drinks and food order. Took another 30+ minutes for the food to arrive. After we ate it took 15 minutes to get our check. The room was absolutely filthy. Garbage all over the floor. There were several tables in our room that remained with leftover dishes from previous customers that were there when we walked in and still there when we left. Food was not even very good. Some of our food was even cold. To be there for over 3 hours for a “2 out of 5” meal with all of the restaurant conditions is totally unacceptable and ridiculous. None of our family will ever be back.
