Fazoli’s

As my daughter, and some on here, have said: For the price, the food and service are fantastic. We were there last night and the four of us dined for well under $ 40. The food was hot and tasty, the manager came to our table with more bread sticks, and another staff member cleared our dishes,. I can’t think of what more we could have asked for! And no tipping!!!

Everytime i come to Grand Rapids to visit Meijer, Fazolis is a place to visit for lunch or dinner.
Excellent italian food and price is fantastic.

The food was inexpensive but the floors were dirty, strewn with food and paper. I would not want to see what goes on in the kitchen.

The dinner me and my husband ate was about as good as a good frozen dinner. We had a meatball sandwich along with the sampler and chicken parm. It was ok. Again it was about as good as a frozen dinner. I wanted to try it because it looks like a nice place but I will not go there again.

Yeah, I am a fan of the breadsticks fa sho. I don’t mean this in a bad way but the ravioli to me is just as good as the frozen stuff you can buy at the grocery store. Definitely edible, even good but not something you crave.
We came here on a Tuesday night — shortly before Easter and they had an Easter Bunny & crafts for the kids. They gave free pics to each kid with the Bunny which was very cool.
Tuesday nights you can get 2 kids meals for 99 cents with each entrée — which is great if you have kids or for those without like me it made a decent $ 1 lunch for the next day!
They come around a lot asking if you want more breadsticks and they thankfully aren’t stingy. :)

If this is «the poor man’s Olive Garden», then call me poor. We came here the other day after having some of their breadsticks the night before. My mother-​in-​law brought those home as a side for our dinner. These are so good. They are like Olive Garden’s except way better. They actually have a garlic flavoring to them.
I was standing in front of the menu trying to decide what to order and the lady said that the breadsticks were never ending. What?! Really? I was considering just ordering breadsticks before she said that. I decided to just go with the spaghetti and meat sauce. Typical spaghetti, nothing great, but definitely not bad.
Husband had the pizza which he seemed to thoroughly enjoy.
We will come back for some cheaper, fast Italian food and those awesome breadsticks.

Also known as the poor man’s Olive Garden, Fazoli’s Italian Restaruant is actually pretty good. The times I’ve gone have been those moments where I’m craving Italian food and a) don’t want to shell out the $$$ for Olive Garden and b) when Chef Boyardee probably won’t suffice.
On the menu some of the tasty meals are cheese ravioli with meat sauce and the sampler. Free breadsticks when you dine is always nice too.
The only semi-​negative thing I can think of is that most of their meals, even though there is variety, taste the same. Nevertheless, Fazoli’s has always been a reliable Plan B Italian restaurant for me. Check it out next time you’re in the area or have less than $ 7.00 to spend on an Italian meal.
