Spaghetti Western Italian Cafe

Have passed by Spaghetti Western for years. Tonight we decided to stop in and check it out. Well worth the visit! Food was great. Staff was fast, attentive and super nice. Atmosphere is great because it’s a local, family owned, comfort restaurant… not a fancy foo-foo pretentious place. The Italian enchiladas are a fresh twist on a great enchilada setup!! The blackened chicken pasta is off the hook. Breadsticks are completely original and unique… could use a dozen of those easy! Salads and the cheesesteak look great. Will definitely be back.

I want to work there to learn how they make that bread, it is so light and soft and crisped at the same time. Everything was so delicious! Service was perfect. I had the Eggplant parmasan, my son had the "bad" pizza. Husband had the Italian enchiladas. All were extremely tasty. Good music piped in as well. We love this place will will go back.

We will just say… WOW! What fantastic flavorful food. My Italian Enchiladas were rich and cheesy. His Pasta Man had the some of the best crab cake we have ever tried, which is saying a lot for a guy from Charleston, SC. Huge portions. Half of mine is going home. I cannot recommend this place enough. Oh and let’s not forget the fantastic breadsticks that I didn’t get a picture of because they were gone too quickly.

Cannot believe I have driven by this amazing hole in the wall for decades and have never eaten here. Last minute choice for a birthday meal and now we cannot wait to return. Service was fabulous. Food was hot and extremely flavorful. Atmosphere was fun. Bar was hoping and an all around good experience. "Slice" of pizza is a small personal pizza. Salads were fresh. Spaghetti with meat sauce yum!

Everything was good! Its been awhile since I've been here, but the food was just as good as I remembered!! Oh and the desserts...WOW!

The place is neat. It’s a strange combination of Italian and western, as the name suggests. I ordered a margarita, the shrimp scampi, and a Cesar salad. The bread they give you a the beginning is nice and warm. The rest of the food was okay, it’s very hard to mess up shrimp scampi. If I were to go back, it would be also because they have good service, and the bathrooms are cute.

Tasty 😋! This is our second visit to this Italian restaurant. It has an awesome atmosphere, customer service was excellent and food was amazing! Big Win! Large portions and their adult beverages were perfectly handled 🍹!

The atmosphere was great, but loud. That's expected if there is a game on. I got the sausage and peppers. It was great. My aunt got the pasta man special, and I was jealous. She let me try some of her crabcake, and it was too die for. The breadsticks were amazing. They gave some marinara sauce upon request. House salad wasn't that big, but you will get stuffed. The waiter was so kind and helpful. Parking in the back was easier than the front. Highly recommended this place.

First and foremost the service was 1000 out of 100. Our waiter displayed excellent skills with our group. As for the food, not one of our group were disappointed. Pasta was cooked to perfection and the sauce absolutely devine. Several of our party thanked the kitchen staff as we departed. Last but not least, we all felt the portions were a true bargain for cost. Thank you to everyone involved and to the owners who have undeniably invested in a fabulous crew.

Went for a retirement party for my nurse. Thirty nine years of pediatric nursing. Twenty four years with me. So nice to be able to celebrate with so many friends. The end of one era and the next chapter for my friend and colleague who became part of my extended community and family. So what is a Spaghetti Western? In the 1960s and 1970s, Italian film makers were producing Westerns. Think Clint Eastwood in A Fistful of Dollars or The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. Sergio Leone making Westerns in Italy. Journalists labeled these films Spaghetti Westerns as reference to the pasta that was also made in Italy. Spaghetti Western was a great space to celebrate. Great service and delicious food. The table was filled with plates of fried mozzarella and fried ravioli. Paired with marina sauce for dipping, it was the perfect way to start the celebration. House salad was fresh. Caesar salads were reliably good. The pasta also transported you across the ocean to Italy. The penne with veggies was delicious. Hubby loved his fettuccine with chicken. Good food and a nod to nostalgia at Spaghetti Western.

I attended with approximately 20 seniors from a city's senior center. Upon arrival, everyone in my group was provided with a menu except me. Unable to access the menu online on my phone due to technical difficulties, I politely asked to borrow a menu from the two ladies at my table once they were finished. Both refused. When I asked a man, whom I believe to be the manager, for a menu, he loudly proclaimed the restaurant had run out of menus and that I would have to share. I explained that no one was willing to share with me, yet no solution was offered. The situation deteriorated further when the manager ignored my needs and focused solely on others in the group. Although a waiter apologized to the two women for the lack of menus, the ones who at first and for sometime refused to share their menu with me once they had picked out their food, no apology was extended to me--the one that had no menu. Moreover, both another man in our group, and I, had to wait for our food long after all the others in our party were served. The manager apologized to that man and provided an estimated wait time, but I received no such courtesy. When that man was served, the manager said that everyone is served now. I had not been served. So, I told the manager that and he incorrectly asserted out loud as if to cover himself with a false remark that I had ordered it to go. Despite my correction that I had ordered it to eat here, no apology was given. I was the las person to be served. Additionally, my repeated requests for water were met with dismissive and rude responses from the manager, who ultimately filled my glass with clear irritation. Throughout the entire visit, I was made to feel as though I had no right to basic customer service, such as receiving a menu, being served in a timely manner, and having access to water. The lack of apology and the manager's overall behavior suggest discriminatory treatment, although the reason remains unclear to me. As far as the group I was with, there recently was an incident of significant discrimination against me for being physically disabled and that may be the same reason the manager was so rude to me. The same can be said for the two members our our group, who sat at the same table with me. But I don't know for sure. The waiter who apologized to the two ladies at my table who were given menus, for the restaurant running out of menus but did not apologize to me, the one not given a menu, was nice another way. I remained nice and courteous despite all this and when I asked that waiter about their merchandise he brought a small item. I asked how much it was and he said there was no charge. So that was nice. The Italian margaritas are good and I enjoyed walking around and looking at the movie posters.

Gluten-free and low carb losers like me DO have options at Spaghetti Western! There's a low carb chicken dinner plate that consists of a massive juicy chicken breast (it's like 8oz), a boat load of sauteed spinach made with fresh garlic and seasoning... I honestly only ate about 1/4 of it

The wine was horrible didn't taste like pino gigo and the lasagna was not good . My friend didn't like the burger it didn't even look like a cheese burger the cheese looked paste. Weird vibe . i took a min at the end hoping it would be better but they were old .

Loved it. Food was very tasty. Delicious bread not pictured. Was very clean. Waiter was fast and friendly and went above and beyond. Highly recommended and can't wait to go back

I'm from San Antonio visiting the Houston area for work. I only had 20 minutes to run out and pick up food before I had to be back for a meeting. I searched for restaurants closed to me on Yelp and found Spaghetti Western Italian Cafe. I called them and a nice female answered the phone right away. She was very helpful. My food was ready quickly, was packaged well and my to go bag included everything I needed (Parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes, silverware and napkins). I got the lasagna and it came with bread. Lasagna and bread was really good and filling! Glad I found this place.

I came here for lunch not too long ago and had the spaghetti w/meat sauce and added some meatballs. My waiter was very nice! Very attentive to the guests and whether not i needed more sweet tea lol. The complimentary bread is pretty good! I used it for the remaining sauce i had on my plate. Good use of it! The meat sauce is good! My waiter had mentioned some folks complained about it being too sweet? I'd say it's well balanced and taste like home cooking! Good eats nevertheless. -Santangelo Balli Gonzales

Popped in for a quick lunch, and was pleasantly surprised. Very chill saloon vibes with old Western movie posters on the walls. Menu is simple with Italian American dishes. We ordered the small portion of Chicken Alfredo and a 10" The Bad Pizza. Both tasted exactly as I thought they would. Nothing's gonna blow your mind, but both brought me back to being a kid. The pizza was so loaded, I couldn't even pick it up without toppings falling off. Service was quick and nice. Both servers were great. Would return for a carbload on a budget!

I was craving spaghetti so I decided to get takeout from here yesterday. Read some reviews and they sounded great! What a huge disappointment!! The spaghetti sauce was sweet!! And there was barely any meat in the sauce... now I know some places in Italy make their sauce a little on the sweet side, but this was on another level!! Needless to say it was inedible and a huge waste of money!! I won't be coming back here.

Sat at the bar with a friend on a pretty quiet evening. Interior is a mix of old world Italian mixed with movie posters of...(drum roll) Spaghetti Westerns lol. The real star was the stuffed mushrooms. It's been months and I'm honestly still talking about them! Cheesy, flavorful...so good. Caesar salad was also very yummy, crisp, and not drowning unnecessarily in dressing. Bartender was very friendly. We will definitely be back to try more menu items

This is a great casual Italian spot. I ordered the Seafood pasta and was really good! The next time I would get it without the tilapia. Service was really great too.

Don't be fooled by the way this place looks. The food is soooo good! The inside reminds me somewhat of a mom and pops country food place. It's not fancy at all. There are old western movie posters on the wall and it's a little older looking. Service is typically good. There are usually a couple of servers for the whole place but there are extra workers helping out. The food: I typically always get the "Spaghetti Western Formal Wear." It's a bowtie pasta with chicken, sun dried tomatoes, mushrooms, garlic, and cream sauce. It's a huge portion and I always have some to take home. The portabella crabcake pasta is really good too. My boyfriend has tried several things and has loved all of it. An added bonus... you get free breadsticks. They seem to be homemade and are fluffy. They come with some sort of light garlic butter/oil on them but no dipping sauce. As far as drinks: the Bellini is super delicious... it taste like fresh peaches. I typically get one of those and then a cosmo. The cosmo is strong, so fair warning! My boyfriend loves their Italian margaritas! Definitely recommend!

One of my all time favorite places to go for Saturday lunch. Always get the Calzone with a Cesar salad. Wait staff is pleasant and service is quick. Overall the place could use a sprucing up but I still really enjoy this place.

Nice place to take the family, the staff was over the top friendly!! Food was ok, I loved the pasta. I would come back over and over again for that bread and the service! Good job to the staff!!!

I love the atmosphere and food ! Portions are quite large and the veal parm is something to dream about . I love everything I have had here over the years which is just about everything on the menu ! Atmosphere is casual and fun and the owners are there often which you know makes for a well run establishment!

Love this neighborhood Italian restaurant! Let's start with the service - have been here a couple of times and Nathan and Marissa- these servers are amazing and will absolutely take care of you! And Emily helped with the wine... the team work and service here is fantastic and makes you feel like family. The food- oh it's good. I tried their steak night first and really enjoyed it. So I had to come back and try pasta and pizza.... the lasagna and pizza didn't disappoint. All was tasty, melt in your mouth goodness. And can't forget the prices - the menu is set for family friendly pricing so you can keep coming back. And I'm sure I will.

Three of us dined May 20th. Staff members "Marisa" and "Eamonn" couldn't have been nicer! We enjoyed Fried Ravioli, Mozzarella Sticks, a crisp Caesar Salad, and delicious Tortellini! Given the recent weather events we were especially grateful. Thanks a million!

Placed an online order which requires you to tip. I don't remember tipping being a requirement, it's based on service. According to the email, our order would be ready within 20 minutes. Hubs goes to pick it up and was told it wasn't ready because the cooks never got the order. AN HOUR LATER, they finally bring our food out. Not an apology or anything! This wasn't even a busy time. Absolutely horrible customer service

I love this place, the food is very reasonable, it's like a neighborhood restaurant. The service is absolutely great. My only complaint is is the size of the tables that are a little bit on the small size, and they serve big portions. It's our place to go when we want a relax friend reunion. It's not noisy.

Chicken marsala looked/tasted like straight cheeks. Service took forever to bring my food. Crowd was way too loud

I had only been to the TC Jester location and wanted to give this a try! Same menu, inside felt cleaner. Overall food was amazing! The pasta itself was overcooked but very pleased with the quality of food. Loved the pizza salad combo and enjoyed the authentic Italian margaritas. 5/5 on overall experience, food, and price

The last two times that I've eaten here we've gotten the wonton nachos. They are uniquely great. The rest of the food looks good too, but we haven't gotten our fill of the nachos yet to move past them. They are big enough to share for two. The wait staff is very friendly and they have great happy hour specials.

Food is great. Cool atmosphere. Good service!! We enjoyed it a lot!! We will be back!!

The pomodoro pasta is THE nastiest, most unappealing meal I've ever ordered in Houston. No flavor whatsoever. No sauce at all. Vegetables overcooked and soggy. Everything included in this pasta was lazily thrown on top. Please avoid this dish and this restaurant.

Came here with my buddy who was in town. Drove by this place plenty of times and never knew it existed. Place had the best service ever, and food was solid!

It was a rainy day and decided we would try this place for an early dinner. Their bread is really good, very soft and flakey and not super salty. Our waiter recommended the Alfredo so we ordered 1 chicken Alfredo with a Caesar salad and 1 spaghetti western formal wear (which is bow tie pasta). It was really delicious and the service was great. Everything on the menu looks delicious so I am excited to try out more items.

I had Spaghetti Western delivered, so can't speak to the service or ambience of the restaurant, but the food was great. We started out with Fried Mozzarella, which tasted like the standard frozen ones, but I'm not complaining - they were good! For my entree, I ordered the Spaghetti Western Formal Wear which was really good. The portion was a good size and had great flavor. And the leftovers were even better, after it sat in simmered in the sauce overnight! My husband ordered the Blackened Chicken Pasta which was even better! I'll be ordering that next time. Overall, a great meal! I'll definitely be going back and in person next time (hurray for vaccines!)

Classic, neighborhood vibes, comfort food, friendly service, great for takeout or dine in

We have been customers here for a few years now and have had many dinners with friends and a few birthday dinners in the back room. Last night was just another reminder of why we fell in love with this restaurant. My husband planned my birthday dinner with family last night and, as always, he reserved the back room. The group was big, but no one's order was wrong, everything was fresh, hot and delicious. No one ever sat with empty glasses, the compliments coming from first timers from the food, ambiance and service were all over the place. Everyone on the staff from the cooks to the hostess to our amazing server, Chloe, (who attended everyone on her own without dropping one ball!) were just beyond great. It was a perfect evening. Forever a loyal customer.

I normally don't add reviews to restaurants as i know they have their good and bad days. But today was on a whole different level. So i brought in a new customer and we ordered pizza. However, we were not told of the specials for the day. When we brought it up to the manager that we would've benefitted from knowing, her response was "well, you should have read it in the menu" My response that her customer service skills were not very commendable. Her answer, " i dont need to have customer service skills. There was a complaint so i came to address it."...WOW Stay awah from this place! terrible customer service! I will not be back. But hey, what do they care Terrible!

Everything on their menu is amazing. Best Bellini in Houston! Friendly service, great ambiance and by far one of my favorite places to meet friends.

OMG the Italian nachos, so light and tasty a must try. All of our food was fantastic. The service was good, it was our first time and am I glad we chose this place. The waitress was very personable, the food was hot and fresh.. this was our first time, but definitely not our last. You must try... odd name, great food Mmmm

How can you go wrong with this place? Good food at the right price. Portions are huge. Service was really good. Ambiance is decent, but you expect fine dining for the prices they charge. Definitely bang for the buck. Will 100% come back.

Check out my check in. Cool spot to drop in and have a delicious meal. Lively servers and chilled crowd. I didn't realize they were true to their name. It's a spaghetti western spot for real. LOL. So I ordered spaghetti and it didn't disappoint. Spaghetti and Meatballs checkout PKast on Spotify or Pkast on IG and YouTube

Absolutely, the worst CheeseSteak sandwich ever... Meat super salty - some bites were refrigerator cold. Almost no grilled onion - far less than a teaspoon. Cheese was on sandwich - not in the sandwich. This was a delivery order so half of that cheese was stuck to the tin foil wrapper.

Service is alright. Food did not have alot of flavor especially the chipotle pasta. It mainly tasted like tomato sauce. A little disappointed because we drove out a far way to go try this place :(

Very good traditional pasta restaurant. We love that they have great choices and a wider menu of pastas than most Italian restaurants these days. You can pretty much build or choose anything pasta related you might want.

AMAZING!!!! To start the prices are unbeatable for the amount of pasta you get. ( and they are not stingy with the meat) The shrimp and Chicken pasta with bacon?!? GREAT. sausage and pepper pasta is equally as great. And to top it off our server and the buss staff were amazing. Thank you Michelle K for great recommendations and awesome service. We both agreed this was the best meal/service we have had in a long time. Such a warm friendly good for the soul pasta place.

Sweet surprise! Have driven past this place for years and always had a different impression on the food until I ordered. Haven't been in yet due to COVID-19 but have ordered twice now on DoorDash and have been pleased with what came my way. Everything tastes fresh and recently prepared. Only thing to be mindful of is the prices on DoorDash are more than the menu listed on their website. So with 5-6 item to your order; expect to pay ~$10 more for the meal plus fees and tip.

Came in here the other night for dine in. Ordered the spaghetti and meatballs, grilled chicken chipotle, small house salad and tiramisu. The house salad was really fresh and tasty. The chipotle chicken and spaghetti pasta were a bit lackluster. Both tasted too sweet, especially the chipotle chicken--which our kind waiter sympathized and said it's really dependent on who's cooking that day. The tiramisu was tasty but kind of dry. I also had the Italian margarita which was one of the best drinks I've had! This place has character and I definitely want to visit during their happy hour & try something other than their pastas.

This is one of those places I was really concerned about during the pandemic. I lost several places I loved and if Spaghetti Western went out of business I would have been crushed. I've been going here for over 23 years. In fact, we had our wedding rehearsal at the other location. I've loved this place forever. The food is always top notch and the service is ALWAYS friendly. My go-to is the chicken parm sandwich but we were recently there for steak night and I gave it a shot. It was outstanding. The steak was really good, but the baked potato was the best I've ever had. Not too much else to say other than whatever you pick on the menu, you will be happy.

If zero stars could be given, that would be my rating. I called yesterday, 1/17 at 5:30PM to confirm my reservation for a party of 18 people for today, 1/18 at 12:30. My reservation was confirmed and was even asked if I was calling the Shepherd location, to which I confirmed "yes." My party and I get there to hear that our reservation was for yesterday 1/17 at 1PM....How is that even possible.!? We were informed that they would try to accommodate us, so we waited. Meanwhile, this server BOY, yelled at one of my guests to "Move!" as he was passing by. The server gossiped with other tables about my group being "unprepared." He also muttered constant F bombs and curses about us within ear shot. After feeling unwelcome, we started to leave when the Server Boy comes to another one of my guests complaining that we're "now leaving" as they were setting up tables. He was informed that we were leaving due to his unprofessional and unwelcoming character. After hearing this he felt the need to follow us out the door and proceed to confront us.!!!! This is unacceptable behavior from any establishment. I will inform all of my friends and family to never patronize this undeserving establishment. Spaghetti Western, your people are a reflection of your brand, you made it loud and clear that you are not deserving.

I'm sorry but the whole chicken parmigiana meal was distasteful. I ordered from doordash and the presentation was honestly better then the food itself. The chicken was just okay but the pasta was sooo bland, no flavor at all. I tried to add more parmesan and seasoning but the sauce didn't taste like Alfredo, but more so cream. I wouldn't recommend this item.. hopefully they have other tasty items on the menu.

We had the chipotle chicken pasta dish... not sure why that's legal. Disgusting. And the spaghetti was watery.. with frozen meatballs. Even potato skins weren't burnt but also uncooked. Very hard pass

Ordered the Bad Pizza. We got an Ugly Pizza. Waitress insisted that we got what we ordered. Rather than make a fuss, we kept it and tried to eat it. It was terrible. Service was the worst. Impossible to get refills or napkins. Overcharged. This will be our last visit here.

For their vegan option they offered me a primavera which was good but not worth the money. My friend didn't really like the sausage in her pasta. The place was themed well even down to the bread reminding me of hotdog buns. However, they weren't my favorite. I wouldn't mention this place to a friend.

I visited here this month for the first time in about 10 years. Back then, I remembered it as being a forgettable Italian restaurant that I obviously didn't feel the need to return. I'm glad I gave it another chance a decade later. My first visit earlier this month was for dinner. Being in the mood for a bowl of spaghetti and meat sauce, that's exactly what I ordered for a very reasonable price of $8.95. I added a side salad to start for another $2.95. The salad came out in less than 5 minutes (see picture). I enjoyed it. About 10 minutes later the entree (see picture) arrived with breadsticks. I also enjoyed this too. The portion was large and and marinara sauce was tasty(4). For the money, I could not complain and would order it again. My next visit was for lunch a couple of weeks later. This time, I asked for the Spaghetti Western Formal Wear for $11.95. This meal (see picture) took about 10 minutes to arrive. It consists of bow tie pasta with pieces of chicken in a roasted garlic cream sauce with mushrooms and Roma tomatoes. This meal was also filling with the accompanying breadsticks and taste wise I would give it a 3.5. Both meals also came with very good table service. The interior of this restaurant is decorated with many movie posters of B grade Westerns made primarily in the 60's and 70's usually shot in Italy and Mexico. There is a small full service bar that is partially partitioned from the dining room and has limited parking in front with more parking behind. This place represents good tasting Italian food with below "in the loop" pricing. I will return to try a pizza next.

Always satisfying!! Atmosphere and ambiance is very inviting and friendly. The staff is superb and always attentive. The food is absolutely spectacular!! If I could go every week I would!!

Not awesome. Unbelievably sweet red sauce. Inedible. Stuffed mushrooms were a mess and basically just melted cheese. Bread wasn't good. I think everything was ordered from Cysco foods. Yuck. Will never go back. Lupe was lovely though
