The food was exceptional and huge shoutout to our wonderful server Chris who recommended us the Hell’s Kitchen chicken! He was very friendly and fun to talk to! The whole experience was absolutely fantastic! We will 100% be coming back :)
We enjoyed our visit. Our server Michelle was excellent; kind and attentive, and a great memory for what we liked throughout the meal. The food was okay, good I suppose. Nothing super special though. Our son Loved the kids platter he got mozzarella sticks pasta and chicken strips all in one! I got the carbonera and would never do thay again, it was not carbonera, no egg, clearly just Alfredo and bacon. My wife enjoyed her cheesy pasta quite a bit. The caesar salad and bread sticks are always a hit. The itialian wedding soup was okay, but light on the meatballs and a touch bland. Seems like an older location, not kept up very well inside, booths peeling apart the varnish on the tables so worn down its all sticky, could really use an interior remodel. But overall we would go back for the service and the fun options for our son. He's a member of the eastside mario club so he has a card that gets him a free meal or cool drink and it makes him feel special. So its a nice treat night out for him!
We had such a wonderful experience at the Heartland East Side Mario’s, and Jada truly made our visit exceptional! From the moment we sat down, she greeted us with a warm smile and made us feel so welcome. She was attentive, friendly, and always one step ahead—making sure our drinks were topped up, our endless bread and salad kept coming, and that we had everything we needed without ever feeling rushed. Jada has a genuine, positive energy that turns a regular dinner into a memorable experience. She was knowledgeable about the menu, checked in at all the right times, and made us feel like valued guests. Great service is hard to find, and Jada absolutely went above and beyond. If you’re visiting the East Side Mario’s Heartland location, ask for Jada—you won’t be disappointed! We’ll definitely be back because of her outstanding hospitality. Thank you, Jada, for making our meal so enjoyable! 🌟🍝❤️
