I quite enjoyed our visit to Frank's. We loved the bread and oil. All of our appetizers were very well prepared and tasty. We ordered calimari, fried ravioli, garlic cheese... read more bread and stuffed mushrooms. All very good.
Our entrees were all very tasty as well. If I had to pick out one problem it would be that the lasagna was a bit too soft but the flavor was great so it's hard to complain to much.
The staff was super friendly and colorful. I felt very welcome and comfortable.
Thanks for a really nice dining experience guys!!

We are fairly new to Arkansas being a transplant from Connecticut. We are used to excellent Italian food. Franks easily compares with any place we have ever eaten including New... read more York and Boston's North End. I love the Chicken Sciliano and the Lobster Ravioli. My husband likes the Viva Italia and the Eggplant Parmagiano. We have tried other things on the menu and never been disappointed. The pizza was outstanding for the area but unfortunately it has been taken off the menu. Salad with grilled chicken is also yummy.The wait staff are awesome! I recommend Franks all the time!

I stopped in Van Buren on my way home from picking up an antique table in a nearby town.. I was staying at the Hampton Inn next door and decided... read more that I see what kind of pizza they make at Frank's. I love pizza and I sample pizza during my business travel across the USA. This restaurant was a pleasant surprise for such a small town. I sat by the door and waited for my order. It came out piping hot and I took it back to my room. I ordered my usual (a medium with sausage and mushroom). This pizza certainly didn't disappoint. It was fresh and tasty with an excellent chewy crust - just the way I like it. The restaurant seemed very casual and friendly. If I'm ever find myself back in Van Buren, I'll make a point of stopping by for a dine-in pizza.

We always stop at Frank's Italian Restaurant when we our in the area. Just a few blocks off of I-40. You better come in hungry. Large plates of food with... read more salad and wonderful bread that you dip in seasoned olive oil. Salad was fresh and crispy. The meals were so delicious with large portions. We ate at lunch time and they do not cut on the food. Great service and reasonable prices will keep you coming back.

Living in an Italian NJ neighborhood for years, I am always reluctant to eat Italian away from the northeast coast, but this passed the test and actually surprized me. The... read more stuffed mushroom were good, the eggplant was almost perfect and the restuarant was clean and had a good atmosphere. Wait staff was attentive and pricing was good. Just wish I could have had a glass of wine with the meal. Van Buren is a dry city.

The food here is fantastic so don't let the humble look of the building fool you. Service was top … More notch, friendly, unobtrusive, and knowledgeable. Waitress handled our special order with grace and kitchen knocked all the dishes out of the pack. Portions are amazingly generous! -
