My husband and I had a great "date" lunch! Food always good and Jason, our server, was very polite, courteous and accommodating! Greg is always friendly and I love his laugh. It is so uplifting!

Marinated shrimp & Risotto, Pork Spanalis and Panko Crusted MahiMahi all fabulous! Great mixed drinks and good wine list. Attentive, but not intrusive service, friendly neighborhood atmosphere. Spendy, but quality food and service.

Great restaurant. Packed on a Tuesday night, we were glad we had reservations. Our Cesar salad, which we split, was excellent, and our salmon was also very good! The salmon came with rice and grilled asparagus, both very tasty. We had drinks, margaritas for me, and greyhounds for my wife. All came at a reasonable price! We will definitely make this one of our favorite restaurants!

My wife and I dined at the Clackamas Oswego Grill for our Anniversary. We were greeted and seated promptly. We ordered drinks and food when they arrived. The watermelon mozzarella capreese appetizer was excellent. Our entrees were both great, a large salad and a power bowl. Our server even gave us a personal Anniversary card signed by the whole staff to go with our complimentary dessert. We were very honored and will definitely be back.

The wait staff was fantastic. The cocktails were outstaning and the food was very good for a smaller menu. I was impressed that they already had a "Happy Anniversary" sign on our table and were quick to offer a free dessert for us being willing to celebrate there. I would highly recommend this, and we will be back!

The Old Spaghetti Factory - Clackamas

About the restaurant

Dining at The Old Spaghetti Factory is an experience. For decades, they have invested meticulous attention to their unique designs and authentic vintage décor. Every location is adorned with antique lighting, intricate stained glass displays, large colorful booths, and an old-fashioned trolley car for guests to dine in. It’s the perfect atmosphere for a family celebration, a large group event, or a special dinner date.

A family business since 1969, their founding philosophy — “a memorable dining experience doesn’t have to cost a lot of money” — is perhaps more relevant now than ever. Every entree is a "complete meal," served with hot freshly-baked sourdough bread, soup or salad, and ice cream for dessert at no extra charge.

From start to finish, OSF Clackamas served our group of 19 well. They gave us a great space and an amazing server, Parker, who kept 19 orders on separate tickets straight and was efficient and attentive. The food was excellent.
