Fazoli's

"Fazoli's was recommended recently by my brother. My wife and I were traveling back to Roanoke from a day trip and had already decided to try the restaurant. Being the first time there we tried spaghetti dishes. I had spaghetti and meatballs and my wife had baked spaghetti with meatballs. Both dishes came with breadsticks. Spaghetti depends on a good sauce to make it great. In both dishes the sauce was excellent as were the meat balls. The portions were generous. My brother's assessment of Fazoli's was spot on. The price was very reasonable, $27.00 which included a slice of Italian Cream cake which we got to go because both of us were too full to share it. The wait from the time we ordered until the time we got our food was short. The attention from staff during the meal was excellent. And last but very important, the restaurant was spotlessly clean. There are many great looking dishes on the menu which we will try in the future as we visit the Dublin/Radford area several times a year."

"I want to start by saying the man who took our order was incredibly kind and was working hard on what seemed to be a day where they were short staffed! However, this was my first time at a Fazoli's and was disappointed in this location. We were on a road trip and wanted something quick but were sick of the regular fast food options so landed on this spot. Ordered inside and there was one person in front of us. Our order was to-go and it consisted of 2 pastas (one was a meal that came with pizza & a fountain drink and the other one was not a meal). We waited for 15 minutes which seemed longer than typical fast food but I had never been to a Fazoli's so I wasn't sure if their food just took a little longer. But once groups that came in 10 minutes after us were getting their food, something felt off. The person who was bussing the tables kept walking by, noticing our number still up but never said anything. After about 25 minutes with no order, we asked and they said that our order might have been given to someone else and started prepping ours again and it did eventually come out and it was correct (but this also took long). The man who originally took our order was very apologetic for the wait and gave us a slice of cheesecake which was very kind, but for the price ($30 for two meals) and being there way longer than intended defeated the purpose of wanting a quick option. We might have hit it on a bad day, but I wouldn't recommend this location if you're looking for a quick stop."

"Maybe it's because, 20 years ago, Fazoli's was a beacon of very low-cost very filling eats when I was a poor college student, but these days, with four growing kids to feed, I get the same warm fuzzies every time I see a Fazoli's (which is rare coming from the DC metro area). So, when the family happened upon this Fazoli's in Dublin - we had to stop. The food was exactly as I remembered - delicious and more than expected given the very low cost. My kids all loved the all-you-can-eat buttery, garlic breadsticks. We loved the "pick 2" lunch - where kids could pick a slice of pizza and lasagna. We got simple yet satisfying salads, and I loved that the drink bar was included with our meal (not extra!). For the $$$ and for a large family (or family with little ones), Fazoli's can't be beat."

"Date of visit: Friday, September 8, 2023 (for lunch) Several of us were on motorcycle ride and decided to stop at Fazoli’s for lunch. They offer several menu options. It was hard for me to decide between spaghetti and pizza. It wasn’t until I ordered that I realized one of the side items for the spaghetti could be a slice of pizza – WIN WIN for me! We sat in what I’ll call the side room (private at the time) which was perfect since we had a semi-large group and had a special gift we presented to someone with us. Their food was delicious (the unlimited breadsticks were a tasty surprise). They serve the food on dishes and use actual silverware instead of using paper plates and plastic utensils. It certainly didn't feel as if we were in a "fast food" restaurant. The staff provided exceptional customer service, especially whom I presume was the manager (wore a black apron). A server and the manager frequently checked on us to see if we needed anything. They all were super friendly and emitted a positive vibe which made for a very enjoyable lunch. Everyone in my riding group walked out very satisfied with where we stopped for lunch (and with full bellies too). I live about an hour away but will definitely be making a trip back to this Fazoli’s – it will be worth the drive!"
