Very poor taste. Service is good. Place is very small. It's a waste of time in my opinion read more

Food is always fresh and great, prices are GREAT!! Service is always fast and beyond outstanding overall a good place to eat

Wonderful local italian restaurant in Bryant. Just off i30 it is easy if traveling through town. For us, we had a large soccer team for the state soccer playoffs and they catered our dinner for the evening! They were so kind working with our schedule. We took our catered dinner to the hotel just across the street. If we are even back we will set up a buffet at their restaurant. A favorite for our girls was the chicken Alfredo! I should have ordered two pans!!!! read more

Food is always very good! Portion sizes are on the smaller side for sure but the prices are very reasonable. We usually get an appetizer and a main dish and that is enough. The dining room is always very clean and the staff check in frequently to make sure you have everything you need. read more

Small, hometown owned. Great food. Great service. Easy to get in and out for dinner. I've had this several times. The ravioli is delish. The spaghetti is great. The lasagna is yummy! read more

When I walked in thought I was really in Italy, it smells so good in there! I ordered a shrimp Alfredo and let me tell you it was the best pasta I have ever tasted! #ILoveit. The staff were very kind and friendly. I will be returning! read more

We used them to cater our winning. It was absolutely amazing. Good food good service super happy with everything.

The service is awesome! I have been twice in the past week because of how kind the service is. This used to be my favorite restaurant when it was Pasta Jacks. This Bryant location taste closest to the original when the Glazes owned it. I get the lunch pasta. The Alfredo is my very favorite. It's soooo creamy. I get it on penne pasta instead of linguini and they never give me any trouble for asking them to change it. The salad and garlic bread are my 2 favorite things. I love the dressing and how well it coats all of the lettuce. I also love the freshly grated Parmesan. I haven't eaten here in a couple of years because of the change of ownership. But now it's my new favorite again. The recipes are almost identical to the old Pasta Jacks. read more

This isn't the same as it was 10-15 years ago. The recipe isn't the same and of course they don't give as much. The salad isn't as much or the same. It will do in an Italian craving pinch but I can always cook better at home. read more

Salad and chicken parmigiana were great! Friendly service! Nice atmosphere, however was the only one in there, but looked clean. Would recommend. Great price for quality of food. read more

We're trying to visit places we've never eaten at. This little gem is hidden right in plain sight. If you're looking for a great pasta dinner, rich and delicious Alfredo, marinara or meat sauce check this place out. I ordered the shrimp scampi Alfredo. It was so delicious and rich and fresh. Perfectly cooked. Tender veggies. Oh wow. It was a large serving that I ate for lunch, dinner and just now for breakfast. It was delicious. Also, they have a drive up window for a get-n-go. Try them, you won't be sorry. read more

Everything about this place is awful I was staying in a close hotel and it's a family business which I always try to support Nothing authentic about the food I could have had better Italian at Walmart No table service but of course they had a spot for a tip on the software Also no alcohol A glass of wine is kind of nice I should have walked when I saw only one table on a Friday night at 7 pm read more

Delicious comfort food that hits the spot. Did not take a picture of my cheese ravioli, which was so good. read more

I ordered shrimp scampi and a kids spaghetti... the kids spaghetti was in a watery sauce and the shrimp scampi had raw tomatoes on top? Sauce was unseasoned. read more

A great family friendly environment, helpful, polite workers, great customer service, not to mention amazing food, my favorite is Their grilled chicken salad :) read more

The owners are super nice and the food was fantastic'. Generous portion sizes and very tasty. A huge surprise for a little "hole in the wall " restaurant. We'll be back!! read more

This is my family's favorite Italian. From the fantastic salad, yummy cheese toast, anything alfredo, lasagna, chicken parmesan, enticing desserts and anything else. You can't go wrong eating here. read more

WHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWW I have only eaten Italian better than this at only one other restaurant and it's no longer open - The salads were cool fresh and crisp and the house dressing was an amazing vinaigrette that was light and tangy. The garlic bread was one toasted thick slice of Italian bread. I had cheese tortellini topped with marina and tomatoes, boy had spaghetti with marinara {and it came out as linguini and not spaghetti which he thought was very cool and is certainly easier for beginning fork twirlers} trucker had chicken and mushrooms with penne and they just toss it all together with their garlic butter and it needs no sauce. Everything was perfectly seasoned and spiced. And we had the rare happiness of encountering an Italian restaurant that cooks pasta al dente rather than into the smooshable goo most American mouths somehow seem to prefer{eeeeeeeeeewwwww}. You walk in order your food at the counter and they bring it to you Lunch special includes salad, bread and generous choice of entree for $5.85 They make all their sauces, sald dressing and garlic butter from scratch every day. They do not make your food until it is ordered so everything arrives at the table hot and fresh. Decor is very light and airy. Tables are simple but comfortable. I thank the Cracker Barrel across the street for having a 30+ min wait for a table otherwise I'd have never encountered Pasta Jack's and that would be a travesty. This is something I'd almost drive to Arkansas for with no other reason. read more

The worst meal we have ever eaten. The salad was not fresh. Lettuce was rubbery. I ordered small spaghetti plate with meat sauce. I received a plate with bland old linguine noodles covered in canned meat sauce. The garlic bread was cold bread with garlic spread on top of it. My partners Marinara plate with shrimp, had the same old linguine noodles, canned sauce and bland frozen shrimp. Will never eat here again. read more

Ordered the Chicken Premivera and Chicken Alfredo. This was the best I've ever had. A lil better than my own. Lol Thanks for dinner!!

I love this place! We go at least once a week since we've moved and honestly, it's better than any other place we've been. The spinach dip is a must!!!! read more

I love this place. Good food...good people. They now have a low carb meal. Their salad with chicken is awesome. I've had their chicken Alfredo as well. It is on point. It is a small place so super large parties might be difficult. I've been there before with around 10 people and was fine. Try it. You will love it. read more

Let me go ahead and say with the name "Pasta J's", I didn't know what to expect. This place ended up being my favorite Italian restaurant I've ever been to. The first thing I ordered was their manicotti. It's the best I've ever had. All of the Alfredo food they have is really good as well. What stood out the most to us was their spinach artichoke dip. It's the BEST. Also, the staff was very friendly and ready to accommodate us all while being safe amid COVID-19. Its better than Olive Garden, but double the servings at a way better price! We will definitely be returning! read more

Friendly service and fabulous food! I ordered their Garlic Chicken & Mushrooms which came with a salad and garlic bread. The house dressing is delicious! All of the ingredients tasted like they are high quality and fresh. Perfect lunch portion! I look forward to my next visit! read more

Always fresh and delicious. I absolutely love the cheese tortellini with Alfredo sauce, and the Alfredo bombs are amazing. Portions are big, and I often get full from child portions. Owner is friendly and very hands on with the business. read more

Really good food. We had spaghetti, salmon and 4-meat pizza. All made fresh. Thin crust pizza, marinara sauce is excellent. Will definitely be back. read more

The food has gotten better here. My mother in-law purchase some pasta jacks for us and brought it home. The quality is definitely better than the last time I came here. I'm not sure what she got us, but it was tube noodles, chicken, with sautee mushrooms. read more

Lasagna is the best!!Their customer service is excellent as well, always a friendly atmosphere.Plus they are rarely as busy as all the other places nearby at lunch hour so you can get in and out fairly quickly. read more

Great food and awesome customer service! The stuffed mushrooms were soooo good. Will definitely be making this my go-to Italian place

This place is just not what it use to be. The salad dressing now is too oily as is the garlic chicken pasta. I'd prefer to run down to Lost Pizza or US pizza to grab some pasta now. Which sucks bc I use to love this place and come by once a week. read more

I saw the google reviews here it was a 4star so I thought I'd try it. There aren't many pasta places around here. So I walked in. It's not fine dining. Looks like it uses to be a fast food place. They have someone to greet you and seat you. Had some soft country music playing which I like. The prices aren't bad either. Usually pasta is expensive. I read a review here of a mad customer saying they loved everything it gave one star because they didn't honor the online prices. The prices today were no different onthe menu. In fact my entree was a dollar cheaper on the bill than the menu. I'll also say I eat out 7-10 times a week and good service is hard to find around central Arkansas. The staff here is very nice. Accommodating. Now to the food. The only reason I gave this 4stars is because of the food quality. It didn't wow me. There was way more veggies than meat. It was a tad bland. It seemed like the chicken was precooked and veggies were pre streamed and thrown together which makes for fast service. But taste quality suffers. It was by no means bad. I added some salt and pepper and it was great. It was a good portion for the price. I am taking half of it home. I'll come back here. read more

Pasta J's Bryant - a plate of pasta and bread - Italian Near Me - Bryant, Arkansas

came off the highway on way to Houston, Tx. thought we would try this out, I did not like ordering ay the counter, can you imagine 20 people in line to order? They crammed in as much salad as they could into a little bowl with lots of shredded carrots. Thats nor Italian. But dressing was good. Pizza was not close to homade as stated. Picture on menu is 3/4 inch thick. Ours was premade cracker crust. with way too much cheese to compensate for dough they did not make. Also ordered the lasagna and not too bad but too much sauce and very little pasta and again in small bowl. Use a plate to searve a dish like this. If you order at the conter, do you have to tip as much? She did not come to table and ask if we needed some time to look at a menu or do we want a drink before ordering. And by the way good food does not have a drive through. Will never go back read more

Orders by take out...three very different meals...Spaghetti, Lasagna and Alfredo Linguini...save your money, go to Wal-Mart and buy Lean-Cuisines! read more

Delicious, fresh food! I was pleasantly surprised at how authentic the sauces were, my dinner was awesome, will definitely come back for lunch special, what a deal! read more

EXCELLENT!!!! BEST SAUCE I'VE EVER TASTED!!! I have been to "Little Italy" in "New York City "and in "Baltimore,Md" . Pasta Jacks' food rivals all of the restaurants I have eat'n at in both city's. I have found the staff to be extremely friendly and the service was top notch on EVERY visit. Give this place a try.....you'll be glad you did!! **WARNING** You'll come back again and again.They also get my vote for "BEST FAMILY RESTAURANT" Very family friendly. Scotty Cabbiness read more

Got pizza, but wasn't the best I've ever had. Also didn't like the fact that we came in around 1:00 pm last Friday, & they had us order from the counter then sit down, even though it's more restaurant-style. This may be due to the fact that they might be short-staffed, but still. read more

Visiting town, I found a want for italian food. Looking around, I found this little place that was completely empty. I went in with my friend, and decided to give it a try. I had the sampler, just in case something wasn't good. Overall, it was mediocre. The good: the meatballs were great. Big, moist, perfectly cooked. The service was very friendly. The spaghetti noodles were cooked perfectly. The bad: the marinara was extremely watery. The lasagna had portions of undercooked noodle. The seasoning seemed a bit off in the meat sauce. In all not bad, not great. But the cost was fair for what you got. read more

The food is good but they do not honor the website prices. Expect to pay more than the advertised price.

We had a wonderful dinner last night. I had the Shrimp scampi pasta and my husband had the lasagna. Generous portions with great flavor! They were priced well, too! I would highly recommend! read more

Just stay from red sauces and meatballs. Now the Garlic and Alfredo sauces are really good and pasta was cooked well. My first time here.
