Jam Jar in Renfrewshire

went with my friends to celebrate my birthday a place i have been wanting to visit for years , great pizza i had & macaroni chesse , cant wait to visit again

Lovely last minute late dinner. Called at 2.30pm hoping for a 6pm reservation but only 8.30 left. Was debating not booking as was so late but so glad we did. We were in and out in an hour! We had a hawf and half each and a desert to take away. Husband had a large soft drink and I an ice blast cocktail..lovely!

I love this place. I used to visit it all the time but I’ve moved an hour away and any time i get the chance to visit i do. Tony & Sparky are lovely. Not to mention all the other staff. Nothing is ever too much bother. I visited on Monday this week, i had bought my friend some flowers and as soon as i walked in, they brought me over a wine cooler with water to put the flowers in, when does that ever happen. They are the type of place that go over and above and nothing is ever too much bother, what can i say. I love Jamjar. My friend and i each got Cajun Chicken Penne Pasta which comes with Garlic Bread. Absolutely stuffed. Great portion size, we both couldn’t finish and got ours in takeout boxes. We each had juice and my friend had a cappuccino which she commented on being really tasty. I cannot highlight this place enough. 10 outta 10 visit as always Will be back soon. Thanks for another great visit x

Genuinely surprised by how juicy and flavoursome my burger was. Peppercorn sauce lovely too. Really nice meal for four on a very busy night. Cant fault it at all. Thanks folks.

Wow what a choice. Great menu wonderful staff and so customer focussed. Highly recommend. The staff are so good at what they do and the choice is so wide it’s hard to know why you wouldn’t go

Excellent food and frozen cocktails, staff were very friendly and nothing was a hassle for them, will definitely be back

Went to this restaurant for a small family dinner. The service was exceptional and food really tasty and hot when it arrived. Nothing appeared too much trouble. Do not miss this wee gem in Paisley.

First time here last night for our Daughter's Birthday. Great staff great food only thing I would say portions to big ! Great night had by all

Having been to Jam Jar multiple times before with lots of diff friends and family,I have always enjoyed the experience and recommended JJ to everyone. However after today I am so dissapointed ,wont ever go back. My grandaughter is celiac and ordered a gf burger,but although on menu says chips can be gf when asked waitress then told she cant have chips as they are cooked in same oil as other chips. Then waitress comes back to say so sorry cant have gf beefburger as no gf buns left. Hubbys mash on Steak pie dinner was cold. Grandsons milanes chicken was pink in places and tough difficult to cut. Other grandson and friend had hauf n hauf,the pasta on both was so spicy they couldnt finish it. Then after paying and leaving,one if waitresses followed us out and asked me if I had taken a photo of another waitress,I told her I had taken a photo of my husband. This then turned into a disagreement as my grandson who suffers from anxiety was not happy with her challenging me like this, and she informed me that waitress who thought I had taken a photograph of her was worried and she suffers from anxiety!! I was trying to calm my grandson down however the waitress kept at it replying and saying she thought she was quite right to say what she did etc,even when my daughter then told her all the things not happy with etc. So dissapointed Jam Jar my grandsons 18th birthday meal,youse ruined it. I will be sending on an official complaint as this was awful

As this was my first time in JamJar, I was unsure what to order, but looking at the menu it was really hard to decide. The meal was lovely, the staff were really sweet, the atmosphere was warm cosy and very friendly,

popped in here for lunch the poppers and crostini were generous in size and very tasty, both chicken mains were also generous and tasty, the sides, curly fries, garlic bread were very nice but the onion rings in my opinion were overdone, I prefer them not to be dark brown and very crispy, other than that we enjoyed our lunch

Staff were fantastic and wow the food and potions were so lovely and huge. Can't fault anything just a lovely time with friends who enjoyed all our meals

What can I say - a family gathering to meet up before my dad’s funeral, so a sad time, but a lovely evening provided courtesy of the Jam Jar’s amazing staff. We should have been a party of 12, but somehow the very helpful manager managed to squeeze two more of us in at the last minute. The food was fabulous - huge portions, very tasty - all of us served at the same time. The cocktails and drinks - ridiculously reasonable (we’re used to ‘south of the border’ prices 😂!) All in all a great time, with a lovely atmosphere. This is the second time our family have eaten here in the last couple of weeks and both times have had a brilliant experience - we’ll definitely be back next time we’re in Paisley - thanks guys 😉

Came on recommendation and didn't disappoint. Was very busy so were lucky to get a table and grateful for that. Food was great and tasty from early extensive menu. Served quickly by very friendly staff and enjoyed thoroughly. Had a wide range of cocktails that looked good for a future visit when we have more time available.

Absolutely love this place. Have been coming for years and never disappointed. The food is always amazing. Moved out of the area a few years ago but any time I’m meeting up with a friend we always go here for lunch, any excuse. We love it 🥰 Today i had Cajun chicken penne pasta and my friend had chicken haggis mash veg and peppercorn sauce. As usual was amazing. Super tasty. Great sized portions. We were served by Tony, who we love, could not meet a nicer man 🇮🇹 him and the team could not be nicer, always welcoming friendly and nothing is ever too much hassle. Highly highly recommend. You won’t be disappointed. Thanks for great food and great service ❤️

AMAZING! The menu selection is massive and prices are very reasonable for the size of portion you receive. Staff are brilliant and will attend to your every need. The food is honestly the best food you will find in Paisley. The place itself is always sparkling clean. Drink prices are reasonable and their cocktails are simply outstanding! Highly recommend.

My wife dropped in here with friends who thoroughly enjoyed steak pie with chips and a very nice fish and chips, portions were generous and pricing not too bad, well worth a visit if your in the area, it was a saturday afternoon the place was busy, def somewhere to give it a go

Eight of us came for a birthday celebration and had a lovely meal and drinks. Great friendly service despite some fussy eaters in our group! Food was lovely and portions were above average size. Booking essential at the weekend as it's popular with locals who are celebrating anything.

Went here for dinner tonight. Was absolutely fantastic, lovely inside friendly and efficient staff. Food was delicious, great value for money. Can't recommend highly enough.

Been in here a couple of times before and always enjoyed our visit. On this occasion I’d got the booking time wrong and pitched up an hour late, however, the manager was ok about it and got us a table - thank you! As always food was excellent as was the friendly relaxed service. Will definitely return! (on time next time)

Disappointed in our visit last night. Not welcomed on entrance. People huddled in foyer waiting for attention. Service thereafter was good. Staff pleasant. Food not the best tasting. Chips undercooked and coleslaw tasted off. Husband also stopped eating coleslaw as it tasted bad. Ladies toilet had no paper in one of th cubicles. Started feeling unwell shortly after and ended up being sick in the street about 1 hr after eating. Think it was the coleslaw. Won't be back.

Really disappointed :( one of our favourite places aswell. Went for dinner and service was shocking. We got sat with a birthday party who I know would’ve appreciated the private space. We waited ages to order food and drinks which was fine but then our food came.. I had a hair in my food which I passed off as just being mine even though it was blonde and I’m brunette mostly with highlights. I just picked the hair off my food and put it down.. a few moments later later my mum had said “I really hope that my hair” she had then said she had 2 bits of hair on her meal. I then told her I had aswell and we clicked it wasn’t ours. We said everything was okay with the food as we had realised afterwards and also got rid of the hair as we believed it was our own at first so couldn’t show proof but we are just really sad as we usually love this place :(

Knew of this place for years but had never been, wasn’t too sure what to expect. It was excellent. Service, food and value all brilliant. Loved the half/half pizza and pasta option. Nacho sharers to start were a massive portion and desserts delicious. All staff...

Had such an amazing night and that’s all because of Gary. He made us laugh and was great at what he does! Thanks for making our night! A friend and myself came to JamJar as it is a personal favourite of ours.Can’t wait to come back, hopefully soon. A big thanks to all of Jam Jar staff for such great food and service. And also amazing cocktails!!(High five)

The man on phone was so rude literally no social skills. The guy in the phone hung up on me then proceeded to tell me they didn’t deliver to johnstone when in fact I have had a delivery before two weeks ago. Literally the worst customer service I have ever experienced would never go back every in my whole life

Went for the half and half deal and have to say they were good sized portions and very tasty. Got 2 kids deals again very good value for money got a mocktail and milkshake in place of the fruit shoot kids loved them. Added 2 cocktails which was lush. All pasta and pizza dishes tasted homemade. High recommend this place and can’t wait to return.

Great service and excellent food but nothing beats Gary the bouncer always service with a smile (and he’s a bit of a hunk!)

Went with a friend for a late lunch and some cocktails. We booked and had the table for 1hr 45 mins which isn't long enough when you want to stay chatting and drink more cocktails. Had gluten free pasta option, pasta could have done with being cooked a little bit longer. The gluten free garlic ciabiatta was tasty. Portion was massive so ended up leaving alot. Friend had the half and half which looked amazing. So many cocktails on offer, managed to sample a view. Worth a visit for the cocktails alone. Really love this place, next time think I'll go for the gluten free burger! Staff were all so friendly and helpful.

Had the loveliest afternoon yesterday at Jam Jar for a family celebration. The ladies who served us were fab -always making sure we had drinks/food, the food was beautiful and the cocktails were amazing!! Highly recommend! Thanks for a great day!

We pre booked our table which I sm glad we did as they were turning people away on the night. It is only quite small inside. They have a varied menu and an even bigger cocktail menu with 51 on the menu!!. You are asked to sanitize your hands on arrival (this makes me happy). The staff are friendly and chatty and the food was delicious. Plenty on the menu for all palates. I was tempted to try the steak and sausage pie, but decided against it and had a burger instead. 2 of my party had haggis, and my son had hawf and hawf (pizza and pasta)Good atmosphere and great food. Next time I am in Paisley, I will return.

Recently visited for lunch with 5 year old. The food was excellent, plenty of choice and great portion size (had the half n half). The staff were really good and attentive and made us feel very welcome. I will be back again. Prices are great and got the eat out to help out deal so was even better. My son just loved his minion slush drink!

Covid layout very well done. Food amazing as always, the minute restictions wer lifted could not wait to go to jam jar and we were not disappointed! Service amazing, all staff really happy and helpful despite masks etc! Can’t wait to come back x

The service & staff were so lovely! Couldn’t have felt more taken care of & the food was amazing! So happy with everything will definitely be back

The best customer service in paisley. I have never had one bad thing to say about this restaurant. Used to come every Thursday when I finished school with my grandparents. Probably one of the best restaurants I have ever been to

For Mother’s Day we ordered a Jam Jar for delivery! We got the classic half and half! Choosing both Cajun chicken pizza and pasta, our personal favourite. Just as good when it’s delivery!

4 of us were in last Friday,three of whom had been before.Staff were very pleasant,cocktails went down a treat.Food was very tasty and plenty of it,so much so that we actually took a sharing plate for 2 home in a delivery box.No complaints with the bill either,well worth it.ThanksMick.

Was really underwhelmed with this place. Had been told good things but was very disappointed. Though staff were great and very personable, when we visited it took about 30/40 minutes for our food to arrive. This wasnt acknowledged by staff at all. Food was not bad but I wouldn't say worth the wait. Portion size was huge. My friends enjoyed the cocktails and found the names (which make reference to Paisley) really funny. I'd maybe consider visiting again but not my first choice as it doesnt live up to expectations and there is so many better restaurants in Paisley.

Great value and big portions. Food is lovely and plentiful. Staff are always very cheerful and helpful.

Won’t be back till manager is gone,Used to go in a lot with family, usually once a week but I said I was disappointed in my son starter and he was rude and made us feel as if we done something wrong. Plenty more places to eat.

Had a delicious meal, huge portions. Prompt, friendly, caring service. A very decent price. The cocktails and mocktails looked amazing and we will be back to try! Children well catered for with their own menu, colouring in books and balloon models. Very busy so booking advised.

Some of the nicest burgers in Newcastle!! Definitely recommend if you’re looking for somewhere new to branch out for food with some lovely cocktails and wine isn’t too expensive either. The burgers are huge and it’s lovely here for brunch too - I’ve had pancakes before and you can get so many toppings

Lush food reasonably priced and drinks not too bad either. Came on a Wednesday when it was 2-4-1 cocktails so ideal.

After a lovely catch up with a friend we decided to go this lovely cafe on her recommendation. It was a fantastic choice . The place is very vibrant with a warm atmosphere . The staff are really friendly and guide you through the offers . The food was fantastic . My friend ordered a full breakfast which had everything on the plate while I opted for the half pizza half pasta dish which was really tasty. Full of flavour and very filling . If you are ever in the area then please give this place a try . You will not be disappointed .

Food lovely and great value for money with really friendly staff. Definitely recommend and will return.

Was at Jam Jar last night with my family. Meal was beautiful and staff were so helpful and friendly. Lovely place to eat.

Lovely food served with great service in a family friendly atmosphere. Staff knew the menu well and were exceptional throughout. Can’t wait to go back.

Pleased to get a table as it was busy and we hadn’t booked. Great menu and particularly liked the half pasta half pizza option. Food came quickly, was hot and great sized portions. Staff were friendly and attentive, especially Cheryl who recommended the cheesecake - it’s delicious. Will be back.

We were in Paisley for one night before we flew home to Canada. We had an AirBnB so that we were close to the airport. We walked down to the main shopping/ entertainment area of Paisley and were having difficulty finding food after 8:00. Someone mentioned The Jam Jar. Odd name, but there was not much choice. The two of us walked in and were immediately welcomed by the manager and given an estimate of our waiting time. He frequently checked on us over the 20 minutes. Our table opened up and we were in within the estimated time. The place was busy with couples, small groups and larger groups out for a Saturday evening. The waiter was knowledgeable, fun, and attentive. The manager checked in with us too. There were conversations about Canada and our experience in Scotland. Both the manager and the waiter were interested in the conversation; this was not just perfunctory conversation. The craft beers and wine were good. The food choices excellent. At the end of the evening the manager called us a cab. It arrived and departed without us. At this point he had one of the staff go down the street to get one for us. We very much enjoyed our experience. Just sorry it took me so long to write this review.

Cracking find this place. We went for lunch just before finishing for the holidays. We were warmly welcomed and shown promptly to our table.

We have been there 4 times now and can't praise it enough.. the staff are the friendliest you could get. The menu is brilliant and they have a drinks/cocktail menu which is Paisley related eg a Paulo Martini..they do half and half menus mixing pizza and pasta if you want a bit of both.food is delicious so would highly recommend it. Prices are very reasonable so give it a go..ps best to book as a popular restaurant

Visited here earlier in the month with a group of friends. The food was delicious and the cocktails are absolutely amazing. Friendly and helpful staff. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area

Visited last night with friends. Lovely food and cocktails. Attentive staff. I’ll definitely visit again. Thank you!

My family raved about this lovely restaurant, but as my wife and I are in our late 70,s, we thought it would be too young for us and make us feel out of place. NOT AT ALL.

Food was good,prices were reasonable and staff were very friendly and attentive. Nothing was a problem for them.

This place is amazing. Beautiful fresh food. I had the Scottish stack never seen anything like it and tasted amazing and the portion size was great. Biscoff Cheesecake for desert was to die for. My friends and daughter also raved about their food. The staff were so attentive and really made an effort with my little girl (special mention to Cheryl who was so lovely and made our day) I will definitely be back. 10/10

Been going to Jam Jar for years and never had a issue, food always good and staff usually lovely. However staff member tonight was girl with black hair who was very rude and abrupt made the full table feel uncomfortable about a mix up on numbers which was easily resolved. Totally not happy to be there and I fully understand she might be having an off day but myself and 9 friends will not be back in a rush. We also tried to order deserts after our meal finished at around 9.25pm to be told the kitchen was closed which is ridiculously early for a Friday night.
