Readi Spaghetti

This place is my guilty pleasure. From the consistently friendly fast service of the employees to the tasty food.
I always order the spaghetti and meat sauce. I grew up with an Italian best friend and I always craved her moms pasta because the sauce. I have to say Readi is the closest I’ve ever gotten to the real thing
I can come here in a hurry. I can call in my orders if I’m in a hurry during lunch at work. I highly recommend trying this place out.

I am not a fan of the spaghetti and pasta dishes at this chain restaurant but when that craving for salty and slightly garlic cheese fries comes on, this is the place to come.
The trick is to show up after 8 pm and just order one order of fries to go. They will give you a bag full of freshly baked yummi fries. Best deal in town.

Friendly staff, food that’s ready almost before you order it, and everything tastes awesome.

I ordered two different pasta dishes. There marinara pasta and meat sauce pasta. The meat sauce is really good while the marinara is decent. There bread sticks and garlic bread are really delicious though! My only thing I kind of didn’t like is my dishes were drenched with pasta sauce. I actually cooked more pasta to add into it, there was that much pasta sauce. None the less, it was really good and I’ll be going back again.
The staff is also really friendly and welcoming. They also have good coupons.

The good:
Yummy garlic bread
Friendly staff
Conveniently located
Affordable
Quick service
The (very) bad:
The food!!! I swear their Mac & Cheese is probably Kraft or Kroger. I could even taste the box. Yuck! And the pizza was soggy & extra greasy.
I wanted to like you Readi, unfortunately… Not a fan.

The fries are best at this place
The pizza is good
The price is really affordable
Overall the staff is really friendly

Decent portions food’s pretty good the price is okay I definitely come here again. I’m lactose intolerant so meat sauce is my best option when picking Italian, but I would rather come here than Olive Garden

Good idea but not great on quality. Cheese bread is basically hot dog buns with a slice of mozzarella on it that I can do better in my toaster oven. C’mon, add some garlic and some basil at least. Pasta has been more tough than al dente. Marinara is not quite store brand jar quality but close. Cheaper than Romio’s and much faster, but not as good. I agree that the service has been friendly on my visits. It seems few people stay to eat, since the seating is the typical /​easy to hose down /​molded table bench that seems designed to discourage lingering. This is my fall back when I can’t take another burrito or hamburger — which, really rarely happens.

For a fast food pasta place, I really can’t complain. This place is great if you’re on the go and want something other than a boring sandwich or salad. It’s not as good as places like Pallino Pasteria or other similar types of pasta places but it is extremely inexpensive and pretty decent size portions.
It just so happened that when we came here, it was really hot outside (and this was in early spring) so we were able to sit outside which was nice. The place is teeny tiny and not really a lot of seating options but it’s great if you’re on the go.

The two guys working when I went in there were very friendly. I’d never been before and they said I would love it. The food was good, not excellent, but I only tried the alfredo. I will definitely go back to try the other sauces next.

I like this place for multiple reasons. First, the service. Helpful at the counter and a hearty «hello» when I walk in the door, even if everyone is working in the kitchen. I also appreciate the fact that both times I’ve been here someone has stopped by my table to ask how the food is. Maybe cuz it’s a newer place, but still a gold star in my book. As for the food, it’s good. Not necessarily 5* good, but it gives Olive Garden a solid run for its money. Speaking of, I appreciate the fact that this place doesn’t salt your food to death like forementioned restaurant does.
Good food options, casual atmosphere and uick, friendly service make this place an easy choice for a «I don’t feel like cooking tonight» option for everyone.

Boom! The food establishment that I’ve wanted to go on shark tank to become the next chipotle (for past foods) has finally built its second restaurant in Kirkland. 2 points:
Food is CHEAP! — Holy cow, 12 inch pizza for 4 dollars and 3 dollar bowls of spaghetti. The cost of the food is probably the reason why I always buy a ridiculous amount of food (for myself.)
Preparation is fast! How does such decent quality food come out so fast? Well one being its pasta and probably prepared, but the another is that the pizza is fantastic and is somehow so delicious.
Now one topic, food is quality of food. Some critics might say that the food is one where they personally make the food in their dorm room apartment… I say rubbish! sure the ingredients are simple, one where we can others can obtain the same ingredients, but sometimes simple is just what you need for a night.
GU Approved!

Not so good, the staff was friendly however not very knowledgeable of the food selection. Ordered the chicken Alfredo fettuccine, and pesto chicken pizza. For a $ 20 meal I would have much rather gone to Olive Garden and felt more satisfied. On the bright side they were super fast however the pizza was under cooked and they have an awesome fancy soda machine!

How is it that this place has 4 stars? That means many people have given it 5. It’s by no means terrible, but also not good enough that I’d return. You get what you pay for, fast food style Italian.

Really fun place for family dining in that category between fast food and full blown restaurant. We love the parmesan fries and that there’s something for everyone. I love that the kids meals come with veggies. So nice to see a fun restaurant that’s not super expensive and isn’t a bar.

Stopped by this new location because we usually go to the one in canyon park. Anyway it’s was 6pm not busy at all. And the two guys working were really rude. And they didn’t know much about anything. I asked them what the fresco noodles were and he didn’t know all it was was olives basil tomatoes and Parmesan. Fine. Then all the tables were dirty and the garbage were fully so we couldn’t throw our food away. While we were eating we could hear the two guys taking shots in the back. Idk if they were taking shots of alcohol of dressing for fun or what. But I will continue to go tot the one in canyon park because I do like the food.

The other reviewers so far have largely gotten this right, just thought I’d add some detail:
Décor — modern, clean, well-​lit with surprise semi-​private room for 8 in the back. 7 flatscreens, 6 for menu and 1 for TV.
Parking — free and ample
Service — friendly and attentive
Pricing — inexpensive — 1 adult and 2 kid meals for $ 19.
The ingenuity here, and what might make them stay in business, is that you can get 2 things Americans love at once: pasta and fries.
Spaghetti w/​meat sauce — good
Fries — good
Garlic bread — so-​so, bland and soft, they ate some of it
Kid pizza — so-​so, bland and soft, they ate some of it
Kid mac & cheese — so-​so, bland and soft, they ate some of it
They were out of kid veggies which was a bummer. They have olives also, which is good, except they should list them as ‘black olives’ on the menu and include more than 5 medium olives per kid meal. What’s a giant can of olives cost, a buck?
There is promise here. They should work on the kid menu a bit though.
Last thought, if you live near a Pallino Pastaria, it’s a bit better I’d say. Comparable, good for families, better food.

I have passed this place ever since it was being built and very curious to walk in. I must say that I was not impressed.
Please don’t let that sway you from not trying this place out. I just believe that this is more of a family place, a pleasant alternative to what is out there; McD’s, BK, Dairy Queen.
I just got the spaghetti…
To me, the marinara sauce was ok. Had flavor, some spices, but did not wow me. The spaghetti was spaghetti and the bread was bread. I hate to say I could have gone to Safeway or QFC and spun this myself.
I will say that the staff was very friendly, smiles, very welcoming. You could serve the worst food, but if your staff is the same then you are sunk. Customer service is HUGE with me…
If you have a family and you need something good, affordable, and quick, check this place out. I would not however suggest a first date…

We love this joint! It’s a fantastic addition to Juanita. Sure, you could stay home and boil some pasta while heating up a jar of sauce but this is such an easy alternative! They are super fast too! We place fairly large orders and they are typically ready in 10 minutes. AWESOME!
We have ordered many different things from here and have a pretty clear list of stuff we like and stuff we avoid. Try their spaghetti fries — they are definitely on the favorite list. Another favorite is the fried ravioli. The Caesar salad is a hit too. I seem to be the only one in the family who loves their antipasto salad with their Italian dressing. The sandwiches that we’ve tried have been pretty good.
Things we avoid is their olive oil-​Parmesan sauce. No one in the family liked it at all. We aren’t terribly fond of the cheese bread either. It would be so much better if they would add some garlic to that. Perhaps it would be better if they gave you marinara sauce for dipping.
One thing to note is that they have a daily specials board in the restaurant but they never list the specials on their website. Pity. We noticed they had a sourdough bowl filled with ravioli as a special today. A couple of members in the family would have loved to try that but we did not even think to ask about specials when we call to place our order!
They also have the fancy coke machine. Hundreds of choices it feels like for your drink!
If you haven’t tried this joint, we think you should!

Stopped by around 8pm to pickup dinner and the meals tasted freshly made.
The «Jonny’s» meal deal for $ 6.99 was a great deal, just like they say. Large portion of spaghetti with meat sauce, two meatballs and two pieces of garlic bread. I had one garlic stick and one piece of garlic bread and they both were good. They give you plenty of sauce and not shy. Too many places give you a lil scoop of sauce — barely enough to cover your noodles. The sauce was tasty, not sure what their secret ingredients are but it gave a homemade taste.
The pizza is thin crust and was tasty. We would rather have a tasty thin crust pizza than a bland regular crust any day. I asked for other toppings that I didn’t see on the menu and they were happy to accommodate.
The place is clean, friendly staff, nice atmosphere, good value and great place to order for parties or office meetings.
Thank goodness for the spill-​proof to go containers that are microwavable.
Located just on the other side of Safeway and across the driveway of Dairy Queen Easy in and out access and they’re open late!
I will definitely be back.
