Spageddy Eddys

Visited from out of the town to eat. To our unexpected surprise we were greeted by the rudest hostess. We decided to leave after not feeling welcome. I mentioned that there are many places to dine and thought they would like the business of a family of 8 on a sat 4:30pm. Her response oh no, we will be busy tonight anyway. Spoke to employee in back alley and she came out and said he’s just the cook like he’s not important. We value cooks! Sorry Danny we gave our dining $$$$ elsewhere:(

Gr8 meatballs

Used to be one of my fav places, not anymore. Went with a group of 5 had to wait for 45 mins in a queue. The meatballs with the sauce were gr8, but i was sadly disappointed to the same sauce in all the pasta dishes. The portions are gr8 for the price, but it kinda gets boring after 2-3 visits.Not sure whether i'll go back.

Interesting Place

Very interesting take on usually fair of spaghetti. Different toppings and add ons were available, The appitizers were offering a good selection. I would say the food was served very hot and tasted good. I would return to this place. Other notes were that it is very small and sometimes there is a wait time to get in. Good place to go once in a while.

Okay Place

We had a opportunity to visit this establishment between draws at the recent Brier. It came recommended by a friend. We were a large party and made reservations for 6pm. I arrived at 5:45 to find a lineup up the stairs, a lineup that extended out the door not long after. That being said, we were seated shortly after six. My only comment is that the hostess/waitress only seemed to deal with the first people in line and didn't question other people in line about party size/reservations, it didn't matter much in our case as we got to the front of line fairly quickly, but may have, if there had been a large party in front of us. Once seated we were served quickly and our orders arrived hot/accurately and in good time. My only negative comment would be that the waitress just dropped all our drinks on the table and left it to us to sort them out, although all the entrees were delivered to each person. I'd describe the food as okay. Pasta was cooked to what I felt was the right degree of doneness. Meatballs were good, meatsauce could have been a little more "meaty" perhaps, with maybe a little more of it, given the amount of pasta in the Lil' Abner size bowl it came in. Which brings me to my next comment. While I'm sure the large bowls are part of the overall atmosphere/experience, I think a regular plate, lower, different bowl shape would be preferable, not a large matter, just personal preference. The waitresses were quick and friendly, even though the restaurant was full,busy and had quite a number of people waiting in line. We had our kids and they had kid sized potions. All in all, a good experience overall. Food was decent enough, service was good. Atmosphere was okay, I'd describe it as Spagetti Factory Lite. Would visit again under similar circumstances, but not being from London would probably like to check out some of the other restaurants around town.

I've read other reviews of this restaurant before I paid my visit, so I did not expect to be greeted with anyone at the door. And as I expected, noone came and ask us how many were in our party. However, the wait time was not that long, less than 15 minutes before we were brought to our table. The atmosphere is great and its the main reason why I'd like to visit again. Adequate food, the spaghetti is kind of overcooked but the sauce and toppings are great! The restaurant closes quite early, around 9ish, but we weren't rushed to leave even though we were the last customers in there. Overall, it was a pleasant Saturday night dinner. And I'd probably go again!

Been there many times and always look forward to it. Had many different things and had no complaints with any of the food. Quality in my opinion has always been great, always enjoyed it and the amount of food you get means you will not walk away hungry. The staff has always been nice and friendly to us and sometimes getting the order in has taken longer than it should have but the food was never too late. Last time I was there was Jan 2, 2010 and there were three of us. We had; two bottomless coffee's, one small iced tea, one small pepsi (both at least 500ml) , one garlic bread (plain and split for three people), one entree Ceasar salad and two spaghetti entree's with three extra ingredients each (hot peppers, mushrooms and extra green peppers for me) added to the already thick veggie sauce ( meat sauce is good too) and the total was $49. I have never thought twice about taking someone there to eat and I find the atmosphere very pleasant. Most of the seating is four person booths which are a bit cramped but I'm a big guy and we manage without a problem. If you have a larger group there are free standing tables that can be moved around. Each booth is almost completely isolated so even if it's a busy night you still have a feeling of intimacy at your table. The place is small and it has been too busy to take us in once. I call and ask now and the usually just give the current conditions and advise you to get in early if they think it will pick up. They will take a reservation if you ask nice. They close around 9 usually so don't make it part of a late eating plan but I do recommend this place to everyone. The rating system here says 5 stars is best meal ever so I'm giving it 4 but I say it's great and I think it's a great deal and go and enjoy it! I will go there again!

This was my first time ever eating there. We were supposed to maybe have 5 people and we were waiting to see if she was coming, we were not asked if we wanted a drink or anything for the first 20 minutes. Finally she comes over and asks if we would like something and we tell her our friend isn't coming and she tells us that she is going to move us to another table. She then takes our orders and wasn't very friendly. She brought our food over about 30 minutes later and gave us all the wrong meals. She didnt come to ask if we liked our food or give us drink refills. She also didn't ask how many bills we wanted.. since they don't have debit that was kind of hard to split between the 4 of us. She said she already put the order in already and can't split the bills. The restaurant is very small, the bathrooms are disgusting and the service was not good. I also didn't really enjoy my food. She didn't get a tip.

This was our first time at this restaurant. Our experience- awful-rude service; mediocre food that was expensive for what you get; disappointing experience and probably won't come back

We read the reviews online and decided to give it a shot. So glad we did. We had 4 adults and 4 kids and everyone was very FULL and HAPPY. This is definately a new hot spot for VALUE and QUANTITY! Don't miss out on this restaurant down the alley!

I've lived in London for almost 15 years and have yet to experience this place. Until last night. We split an order of Garlic bread with cheese (so good). My husband had the chicken parm and I had spagetti with veg. sauce and meatballs. They are the best meatballs I have ever had. No joke. So impressed with the portions, I took most of mine home, and it tasted really good! The large pop must have been about a litre (correct me if I'm wrong) and the bowl my spagetti came in could have been used as a helmet. Definately recommend this place to anyone and everyone. The service was great: fast and friendly all the way.

I've been to Spageddy Eddy's twice and both times...

I've been to Spageddy Eddy's twice and both times it was amazing. I went there last night and got seated right away. We ordered our meals I went up to use the washroom came back and there was our meal. It took literally 5 minutes for the waitress to deliver. I was amazed. The food was very good, very creamy sauce. The portions are HUGE i mean the bowl they serve it in looks like something out of the stone age I didn't even know they made bowls that big. My only complaint was in the 30 minutes that we were at our table eating the waitress never came back once to check on us or ask if I wanted a refill and there were only 2 other parties in the place. The atmosphere is fun very retro. So all in all my meal was fantastic and I had fun but the waitress didn't get her 15% tip that's for sure.

This was my first time visiting the restaurant...

This was my first time visiting the restaurant. We went before a Knight's game. It's funny because I have read reviews of slow service, and this was the fastest service I have ever witnessed. The food was delicious and very filling, and overall I liked the atmosphere. I would definitely eat here again.

Amazing Venue

This little hole in the wall has the most interesting decor. Ecletic and packed with all sorts of signs and nick nacks. The food is really good, plentiful and cheap. The only problem is that the service is a little bit on the slow side and very minimal.

Simply Fantsatic!

I was introduced to this place several years ago and it IS my favourite restaurant. I love the atmosphere. Everytime I go I see something I didn't notice the time before. Very eclectic. The service is always great. Very fast but always friendly. The food... oh my... homemade sauce and fresh as can be meat/veggies. As I said... Simply Fantastic!

I love this place, very small and quaint and down a sketchy alley, but the food and portions are great, and the value is unbeatable. I stick with the basic pasta and meat sauce, since its very inexpensive. After your order is taken, the GIGANTIC bowl of pasta takes only a few minutes to get to you (probably pre-made in the back but for the quantity its definitely worth it). Portions are overly generous, a perfect spot for students to fill up for cheap. Bring your apatite, especially if you come with someone who can't finish his or her plate.

First impression a really amazing place. had a great time. Looking forward to going again.

First impressions of this restaurant are a little off putting. You need to go down an alley then downstairs into this dingy, dark, cramped room. I am sure they are trying to create a certain atmosphere with all the 'stuff' they have hanging from everywhere including old street signs, pictures covering every available space, the ceiling painted black and a variety of different 'things' hanging from the rafters but all they really created in my opinion was a very claustrophobic atmosphere. In fact one person in the party had to leave early because he couldn’t even stand it. And he is not claustrophobic in normal cases. The service was ok but just average. When the food got there, the garlic bread was pretty good but nothing amazing. It was just garlic bread. The pasta was severely overcooked and sauce was very bland. My drink tasted off. I couldn’t even drink it. I felt like a pig eating out of such a gigantic and deep bowl. I couldn’t eat much of it. The place just felt kind of dirty. It was the kind of place where the tables are clean but that’s about it. To be honest I can’t really understand why a line up of about 4 different parties were waiting for tables when we were leaving, lined up out the door. I wouldn’t go back.

This place is great for students like myself that want to get out with a few friends and get our money's worth. I always see students in there, and it's our hidden gem. I agree with the comment about first dates; it's an excellent place to go out with someone for a first time. The decorating provides much conversation, and the warm and friendly atmosphere is excellent. Everything arrived promptly and it never felt as though my friends and I were waiting. The nachoes were a large individual portion, and the cheese on them was nice. The chicken caesar is also quite nice - I've had that in the past. It's not gourmet, but it doesn't claim to be and it's good enough for a group of students.

The food was all very good, the nachos being the best. The atmosphere is very warm and inviting. Interesting location (Artisan's Alley) and never overly busy.

Very disappointing. The sauces were very bland...

Very disappointing. The sauces were very bland and watery, the noodles undercooked, the chicken was boiled - VERY bland, and my coke tasted a bit off - almost like they never washed it from the last drink. The seats are very small and cramped, dark atmosphere, and very difficult to get in an out of. Waited longer for my bill than I did for my meal. A better meal I could have made at home, and been more comfortable, and not spent $20.
