We went and got seated pretty quickly. We had a party of 5. We had a corner booth so we had a good view of all things. Our server was prompt and very attentive. It was a holiday weekend and they were quite busy after we were seated. We had the pizza, the lasagna, the spaghetti and a couple of other things that will be pictured. It was a casual place good for families or a cute casual date night out. My only thing is it was quite dark and could use a tweak of updating but that's just my observation. I encourage you to go and give this restaurant some time and hope you enjoy the food as much as we did.

Staff is always attentive and friendly, infinite choices on the menu and always tastes excellent. From a simple slice of pizza and a salad to the Italian enchiladas the food can't be beat.

Any time. Any day. Great food and service with prices that aren't going to make you gasp. Family owned. Not sure why this location is so much better than the one on TC Jester, but it is!

Went on a Friday evening for dinner at the parking lot was pretty full but we found a spot. The service was great and friendly! We got our menus and drinks in a timely manner, as well as our food after ordering. The menu is large and lots of options. The free breadsticks are pretty good, I saved mine to eat with the chicken Alfredo. The noodles were cooked perfect and the sauce was good. It was $13 for the pasta and $2.50 for a sweet tea. Good deal. The western theme was fun and there were also tvs playing football / sports. When leaving we saw that they feed some local cats by the dumpsters. Love the kindness, but also be careful driving in the parking lot since they're around!

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'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.
