Fazoli’s

Its not for me.
Basically fast food style Italian.
Picture Olive Garden partnering with McDonalds and you get this.
Fast… below average quality for half the price.
Not for me

I consider this your Italian-​on-​a-​budget night type restaurant. Good Italian with no flair, but for $ 6 – 7 dollars, it’s exactly what you might be looking for… Use this place when I want to go out and not spent $ 35 dollars… Recommended.

Stopped in here again this year, in May (again, the day before Cedar Point). It’s your average chain /​fast food restaurant but because we don’t have Fazoli’s in Michigan — or at least, none that I know of — I like eating here.
{just checked their website … there are THREE in Michigan. But all are in Jackson or Lansing, which is a good 1.5 hour drive for me.}
I got some sort of chicken pasta bake thing that was decadent (very cheese-​y {cheesy?}) but delicious. I think it was only like $ 7 – 8 too. My friend got pasta with marinara sauce.
This is a super convenient location, too, in that it’s right on Milan Rd. near most of the Sandusky hotels and on the way to the park, if you get off the highway at Milan Rd. I remember the bathrooms being clean, as well.

I have been here twice in last few months while we stayed at Maui Sands for the kiddos.
The food is fast, it has that going for it. The unlimited garlic bread is good, but a little too garlicky for my liking. The first time I went I had the pasta with the pesto. I liked it, quite a bit. The most recent time, which was Friday, June 10^th, I had the pasta with marinara sauce. The sauce was sooooo boring. It tasted like it was straight out of a jar. Yuck. The pizza and fettuccine that the kids had was fine, no complaints.
I guess the real reason for the mediocre to poor review is for what I saw right after I had ordered. One of the employees, a female (early 20’s) whose hair, when pulled back in a pony tail, was blondish on the ends but darker on her scalp, had a drippy nose. Do you see where this is going? Yeah, she wiped her nose with the back of her thumb and back of her hand… and kept on working… with food. THEN did it with the other hand… AND KEPT ON WORKING!!! I believe she is a manager of sorts because I saw her come out and tell someone to get something done.
Needless to say, we will not go back there. Yuck.

Stopped here on way to
Kalahari, food was what you’d expect from fast food Italian. Since I was feeding 6 teenage boys the price was reasonable and can you say thank god for endless breadsticks!!! the staff was nice and the place was clean. Of your feeding a family on a budget and being a tourist defiantly a place to stop !

This is my favorite fazoli’s I have been to out of Michigan, Ohio, Georgia or any other state I have been too. They make the best breadsticks. I have never had bad service or food here. Which is unusual for Sandusky. Thank you for being one of my favorite places to eat at.

I love Fazoli’s! All of the Fazoli’s in Pennsylvania closed, and when I came across this one in Sandusky, I was so excited. Unlimited breadsticks that are amazing and fast food Italian. So cheap. So delicious. So perfect.

Fazoli’s has always been on my radar for fast-​food Italian. If you turn your nose up at chain restaurants and fast food, you probably won’t like Fazoli’s. But if you’re craving some pasta, this will definitely hit the spot.
The food is pretty good. On some of the baked dishes there are noodles that will come out dry at the top. But they have a good thing going — pasta and sauce!
The reason I give this store 4 stars is because of the manager-​on-​duty. He was very friendly and honest. Great service, which can often be hit-​or-​miss in a touristy town like Sandusky.

Olive Garden had people waiting outside, so we went here instead. Fast food meets Italian. Bread sticks are fantastic, and they dropped off extras at our table while we waited. The pastas would rate a 3 since the lasagna noodles were too soft and the Alfredo didn’t have a lot of flavor. Overall pretty nice and only $ 28 for four of us.

Counter-​service italian food that’s fast and yummy.
Pasta, marinara, and dry breadsticks are safe for vegans.

It’s a self service Italian resturant with tasty vegeterian options. I and my family loved their food and would definitely like to go again but unfortunately the frachise doesn’t seem to be in NJ.
