Our favorite restaurant in Cranbrook. Great atmosphere, very attentive and friendly staff, excellent food.
So grateful to be able to come here with a big group of adults and kids and feel so comfortable. Excellent service, super friendly care and attention to our needs, anticipating things we may want or need in advance. Really appreciate being able to come here with our families. Thank you so much for always such a great experience!
The food came out nice and hot. The salad was fresh & crisp. I wish they had a better soup selection. But that is a personal preference.
Great food and great service. A family friendly restaurant for sure and this location is one of the best of this chain I've visited. The server was attentive and the food was perfect for everyone. Love East Side Mario's. My kids are always singing the jingle and they were stoked we went to hey bada boom bada bing on our random long weekend trip to the west. It was a good experience here, if we are ever staying in Cranbrook and aren't trying local non chain stuff we will totally be coming here (the ones we wanted to try were all closed for canada day, but we sure were not disappointed once we got here!) Can't go wrong with East Side Mario's for sure. Or that awesome endless bread and soup and salad. Woohoo!
I recommend this restaurant 100%, a place where you will leave satisfied as well as very good service. I was just looking for a good place and I found it. If you are on vacation and pass by this wonderful place, be sure to try the pasta and soup. of ravioli thanks to your team for giving us good service
We had a great gathering for my parents 65th wedding anniversary and 90th birthday’s Raymond, Jerry and staff were awesome and made our parents day even better. All menu items are excellent, with gluten free and vegetarian menu items. Great place to have your event,
We finished up at the Cranbrook Farmers Market - Winter Market and found this gem of a place for a delicious post market meal. It was busy so we had to wait a few minutes for a table but not excessively long. The service was epic! Fast friendly, helpful. Not sure what else I could have asked for. And to add some icing to the cake - the food was delicious. I highly recommend stopping in if you are hungry in Cranbrook.
My recent visit to East Side Mario's for lunch left me thoroughly impressed. From the cozy ambiance to the attentive staff, every aspect of my experience was delightful. The restaurant provided a charming and cozy setting, with a spacious parking area that added convenience for customers. The owner/manager greeted us warmly, and our server was exceptionally friendly and attentive throughout the meal. The calamari I ordered was cooked to perfection, crispy and accompanied by a delicious dipping sauce. The seafood linguine was equally impressive, featuring an abundance of fresh and flavorful seafood. East Side Mario's maintained a clean and appealing environment, and the dishes were presented beautifully.
Always a great experience! Staff is really outgoing and friendly

It was just me and my two kids dining this time. From the minute we sat down we had the best service from our server as well as the owner/manager. They checked on us multiple times and made sure we had everything we needed. I spilled my water (oops) and they immediately moved us to another booth for easier cleanup. We felt well taken care of!! Will be back soon! Vegetarian options: I had the spaghetti primavera with veggies and it was delicious.
Always great and enjoyable
Good food and good service
This was only the second time I ve been to this Restaurant, we got our Salad and we didn t even have Plates or Cutlery. The service was slow and some of the food was Hot but not all. The server spilt water on our Grandsons head. Overall a bad experience and we will never return. They get a Zero star rating from me Parking: There is plenty of room
Absolutely horrible. We were with three different families. They wanted to seat 5 adults and two kids(which one was in a high chair) in a booth. I asked if we could sit at a table with chairs(needed to be cleaned). They left us standing at the tables after they said they would return. They finally returned, they were not washing the table so I grabbed a wet cloth and washed the table. They brought us bread with no side plates or napkins. Once we got the napkins they only brought us three. I asked for more napkins they brought three more. Once we got our food I asked again, this time we received five napkins. I ordered the chicken parmigiana. It was cold. The waitress was funny but the service was horrible. We will never visit this restaurant again.
Brio Peach bellini is so delicious. Service was wonderful.
Always great service and food at Eastside Cranbrook! Raymond is wonderful and his staff are also terrific! Love it! Food : 5/5

We came in for an early dinner. We havent been to East Side Marios in a long time as we dont have one in Edmonton. My food was delicious, my son food was delicious, my daughters food was good. My husband said his chicken was dry and spaghetti needed meat sauce as the tomatoe sauce was meh. Everything else was delicious . Service was good. The price was good.
The owner and hostess and servers are very attentive and friendly

Was awesome in all aspects
Everything was awesome. Great food. Amazing service. Highly recommend.
Good food, good pricing and great service
This was my first time to an East Side Marios and my partner and I had an amazing time. Our server, Grace, was phenomenal. She knew the menu up and down, and made perfect recommendations based on our likes and dislikes. The Bruschetta flatbread was heaven. A perfect light starter, or even a great lunch on a hot day. The Trio entree had a Chicken Parm, Fettuccine Alfredo, and Lasagna. Talk about value! The chicken was done perfectly, as was everything else we had. The Steak was also cooked to perfection. The sear was exactly how I ordered it, and tender enough melt in your mouth. You cant beat the price on this either. All the entrees come with all you can eat soup or salad. The seasonal Ravioli Soup was my favorite. For dessert we topped things off with a mini trio to go because we were absolutely stuffed halfway through dinner (blame the delicious soup). For me and my partner, this was a fantastic way to spend the evening before our wedding, and I would absolutely qualify the service we received as 2S/LGBTQIA+ friendly. Thank you so much Grace, you made our night!
Parking: Lots of parking Food
Wonderful food, atmosphere and staff Dietary restrictions: Great bread Great salad Great lasagna Very well worth all the food for the price.

Raymond is incredible! Sad to see him retiring from our location. But happy for him to move on. The food was the perfect amount and delicious as always, drinks were nice and cold.

Usually East Side Marios is only okay. This location had exceptional service and staff. It didnt feel like a soulless chain, but more like a local, family owned place. And they cooked my steak flawlessly! 10/10 will come back next time I am through Cranbrook! Other locations can take a lesson from the team here on how to get it done right! Kid-friendliness: Super great place for kids and they have yummy gelato at the end of dinner!

We visited East Side Marios Cranbrook Aug. 20, 2024...it was fantastic we were there with our 2 grandkids aged 16 & 12. We were greated by Raymond he made us feel right at home made us laugh & introduced us to George the ghost...the bread is so good. Our meals were so delicious we returned for supper the next evening. Thank you Raymond.

Kid-friendliness: Very friendly with kids Food
Kid-friendliness: Amazing Food
Disappointed, travelling thru Cranbrook noticed one of my wife s favourite restaurants. We re seated promptly and drink orders taken, returned with drinks and we ordered, usually it s been my experience that bread is given to the table but not here not yet, fifteen minutes pass out comes the salad and bread, three minutes later here are the entrees, so service timing is messed up, now the food, bread , salad good, my wife had cheese cappelletti it seemed over baked making it chewy, I had the chicken parmigiana also over cooked, so overall experience wasn t great, hopefully next Time I visit an East Side Mario s I have a much more pleasant and enjoyable experience
The perfect Family Restaurant; good food, friendly service and Ray is the best!
Jerry is welcoming and provides excellent service. One of my favourite places in town
Visiting from out of town. Awesome food and staff, great value for money, just wish there were more locations so we could go where we live!
Parking: Amazing Food
Amazing management and tasty food Parking: Lots of parking available Food : 5/5 |
Amazing!
Raymond is amazing! Great experience
The food is good here. All you can eat salad is great. The service left a lot to be desired. We waited almost the entire meal for anyone to stop by, had to ask for forks and salt because neither were on the table. Food
I did not have a good experience at all here. My server was sitting at another table across from eating and on her phone, I had to ask another server for refills and my bill when it was time to go. I am not happy about my experience at all.
