Mongolian beef lunch special, comes with soup, egg roll and fried rice
One of my all-time favorite restaurants that I've been going to for many years. I love that every location has a trolley car that you can actually dine in, beautiful stained glass windows and lighting as well as gorgeous antique furniture and woodwork. The Old Spaghetti Factory is also one of the few places that offer a complete meal...soup/salad, great bread, main meal, dessert and drink (and inexpensive). My favorite plate is the Potpourri spaghetti that has four different sauces...marinara, meat sauce, clam sauce and mizithira cheese.
