Great Wraps

11400 N. Rodney Parham Rd. Suite B Little Rock, AR 72212 (501) 225-9727

Decor: When you first walk in the door, you are faced with the menu that takes up the whole wall. Then you travel down the food prep area and tell them what you want. The place is a giant bowl of yellow and red with huge art pictures of their food on the walls. Then there are the Great Wraps signs. Too many of them. Back off already, we’re already in here eating. You don’t have to advertise to us anymore. Luckily, there are a couple of TVs in there so you can watch other restaurants’ ads.

Cleanliness: It’s clean in there. It has held up well, probably because it’s not really a place that you take the kids. They keep it tidy and don’t let food trays pile up. Most of the people that eat there are conscientious enough to clean up after themselves.

Service: Pretty good service. Sometimes the employees seem a little out of it, but it can’t be too mentally challenging to make fancy burritos all day. We would daze off too. They go out of their way to make their customers happy. See the tips below.

Cost: It seems like it’s expensive for a wrap until you realize that it works out to about the same as a SuperSize meal at a fast food burger place.

Taste: The food is pretty good. The ingredients are fresh and there is not a lot of heavy sauce or condiments to cover up the flavors. If you are not used to something like this, it is a little odd tasting at first because it tastes so healthy. The fries are a little plain and drab when you get them. That’s why they have their spice bar (more like 4 little shakers) over in the corner. You can pick from such treasures as Loaded Baked Potato.

Tips:

  • Be sure to use the spice bar if you get fries. We recommend sticking with the Original flavor. The others were not that good to us.
  • I hope this doesn’t ruin it, but try to go near closing time. Last time we went, they gave out the last of their cookies so they wouldn’t have to throw them out.

Baskin-Robbins

10102 N Rodney Parham Rd. #A Little Rock, AR 72227 (501) 227-5656 

Decor: This place is right next door to Terri-Lynn’s, so it shares much the same decor. The building is showing its age, with some peeling paint and dingy walls. They do the best they can to create a bright and cheery place. It’s your typical Baskin-Robbins interior. As a bonus, there is a table outside so you can sit and watch the traffic go by on Rodney Parham.

Cleanliness: Just like the decor, they do the best they can. It’s not a dirty place at all, but the rundown building makes it feel like something needs to be cleaned. Hopefully, whoever owns the building will pony up the cash to renovate it someday.

Service: The employees do a great job. It can’t be easy for them dealing with lines that run out of the building and small herds of screaming brats all wanting Superman flavor. They manage to make the lines move fast, build your desserts nice and large, and still keep a smile for the next person.

Cost: Baskin-Robbins has always been one of the more expensive ice cream parlors.  That doesn’t seem to stop people from keeping the place packed.

Taste: Not bad. The ice cream is good, but you can get the same taste from ice cream at the grocery store. This place really shines at having lots of different flavors and switching them out often. The taste gets better when you get one of their big sundae concoctions. They use popular, name brand toppings.

Tips:

  • If your wallet is light, you can get one of the large sundaes and share it. We recommend the Reese’s one.
  • If you want a great tasting food experience, get a good lunch next door at Terri-Lynn’s and then stop by here for dessert.
