My wife was going to meet some friends at Pappy's. I was working late so she volunteered to get me…read morea carryout order. She figured I'd want my favorite--the big slab of meatloaf with Texas toast. Nope...no meatloaf...not this time. Her timing was perfect as I've seen advertised and heard from reliable sources about the famous "Big Al" from Pappy's. I made my request. She immediately agreed that it had to be tried. The Big Al isn't just a heaping mound of pork. It's a heaping mound of pork on Texas toast with just the right ratio of a sweeter sauce and.....here it comes....a big clump of Mac and cheese!!! It was like a modern day Dagwood with pork, Mac and cheese and sauce. WOW!! I have a sweet tooth. I like a bit of salty with the sweetness. But the creamy Mac and cheese with the perfectly chewy (al dente?) pasta made this sandwich a hit. The sandwich, along with their perfectly crisped French fries were a great combo. It was a HUGE portion and definitely required some to be held back for leftover lunch. Here's what makes the sandwich even better: this was designed by a local teen and his wishes were for some of the profits from the sandwich to go back towards a worthy organization. I'm intentionally leaving some information out so those who don't know will go and discover the rest of the story on your own. Get out of the house and head to 111 E. National ASAP. Pappy's--Meat---Eat---Repeat. There are plenty of choices if the Big Al isn't for you. My wife and I are pretty partial to their bread pudding, too!! You can't go wrong. Last thing that has always amused me...it's also an educational experience going to Pappy's with their animal anatomy drawings on the wall. It's a clean place with tons of room to maneuver. Good stuff!!!

Kennedie was a wonderful server. She was caught off guard when I asked her to choose between a…read morecouple of the main dishes. I was just hoping for Chef's Choice. She quickly asked good questions and later came back excited to share that she and Dave felt like I should try chicken francese. Wow...excellent choice by both of them. (I don't like wine so chicken Marsala was not their suggestion because it has a bit of wine flavoring, but I have had it and it's very good also). All indications are the staff are very cohesive and have great synergy. My wife was very content with her chicken caroza. We went on a Wednesday evening and it was fairly quiet. The recent nice weather and outdoor athletics might have kept the crowd down a little bit. But usually the place is packed. And, for good reasons. It's a wonderful (hidden) gem for Brazil. The place is clean and comfortable. Decorations and music are cool. Before departing, Dave took a few minutes to compare notes with our culinary experiences. He was excited to promote all small family owned businesses, as are we, that have great reputations. Don't hesitate to get out of your franchise restaurant mode and go to Piloni's. They are supporting local business by being in business. 5+ stars for sure!!!!

We regret not trying this place sooner! Thick juicy, tender steaks, the fried mushrooms and shrimp with a light crispy breading. The baked potato was even excellent! The setting is really nice too!

The Mac and cheese side was decent. The ceasers salad was HUGE and delicious! The fish combo with walleye and cod had a ton of breading and was quite soggy. The inside was very outdated and could use a facelift, it had a dingy and dirty feel to it. We sat at the bar and the service was excellent ! The Bloody Mary I ordered was STRONG, just how I like em!! The beer was ice cold too
