    Great food
    Sir C.

    Papas Place is the Best Place! Food, Folks and Great Playlist from the 50's Good Service because it's better than Dennys!

    Rockin' French Toast

    This place is amazing! Very homey-diner type of vibe. Food was so good, waitress was attentive, nice, and made us feel right at home. She had great recommendations and she even gave us a few samples to try! I already want to come back! The french toast was so good and some of the best bacon I have ever had!

    The service here is great--it really gives you that classic diner feel. The decor inside adds to the authentic atmosphere, indoor seating with booths and high top tables to dine. They often have daily specials, which is a nice touch, and I left feeling full. Overall, it's a good spot for a comforting meal!

    Everything about Papa's was 'meh' except the service! I would give five stars to the great folks that work there and would even be tempted to go back just for that. They were friendly and attentive to absolutely everyone in the place. It was nice and gave a 'homey'' welcoming feel from when you walked in Until you left. It is essentially a 'local' restaurant that serves Denny's quality food but not as consistently and at a slightly higher price point. Which I would be ok with if the food was cooked properly. Everything was a bit overcooked or undercooked and under seasoned. The hash browns were super weird ... more like mashed potato pancakes not fully cooked in the middle with no salt. It was not 'terrible' but it also was not exactly good. Food was more close to two stars. Will I go back? Ummmm ... unlikely but perhaps...

    Huge portions for their food, great service, and plenty of choices to choose from their menu! Server's always trying their best to acommandate their customers and always having fun with it. It's a classic brunch diner and loved how the inside was decorated with Halloween theme things.

    Very fun environment with the staff. You can see that on a Saturday morning that a lot of regulars come in. We ordered a veggie Benedict and my husband got the country fried steak. He loved it! My Benedict was delicious. We ate at around 10 am and it's now pm and we are still stuffed lol. Okay we had a couple snacks here and there but the food is filling! It's a very feel-at-home place which is nice! We will be back to try other things on the menu! Yum!!

    Excellent service!!!! Shout out to Karie, our server! She is a ray of sunshine! Her contagious smile, positivity and immaculate service made our day. The portion is ample, food is prepared right. My chicken fried steak was crispy, and the gravy was so yummy. Blueberry pancake with blueberry syrup was delicious. Oh, the hash brown was also crunchy outside and moist inside, perfection! You get either a toast or a pancake with your dish, add blueberries to your pancake for less than a dollar, why not? Plenty of parking + convenient downtown location. Feels like a sports bar, we watched the World Cup while having a brunch :)

    I went here for the first time today because it's one of the few American breakfast diners that are open late (until 3pm). Upon arrival, we were seated quickly and drink orders were taken by the host. The space itself is decently large but kind of strange layout. There is seating all along the walls of the establishment but the center kind of has a lot of open space. It's a lot of booth and table seating and they can accommodate larger parties from what I saw. The host told us that the food orders will be taken by the waitress. Unfortunately, the waitress (only one) took a very long time to provide us service even though the restaurant was not busy at all. We waited at least 15 minutes before she came to us. What was upsetting is that we saw her serve a different table that came in after us, first. We asked the host if the waitress would be coming to us soon and he just said "I don't know" and laughed it off. It was a pretty unsatisfactory experience. As far as the food, the menu was large with a lot of the common diner options: pancakes/waffles/ French toast, omelettes and other plates like chicken fried steaks. They also had Mexican breakfast items like chilaquiles, huevos rancheros, etc.. Lunch options were available which was an array of burgers and sandwiches. I ended up ordering their "spinach omelette" and honestly wasn't stoked about the quality of food. The hash browns were so mushy and moist, not crispy at all like you would expect from hash browns. The omelette itself was okay at best, but for some reason there was a ton of what seemed like gravy(?) leaking out of the omelette which I totally didn't expect. The flavor wasn't there for me anyway. Sadly the best thing on my plate was the side of butter toast and jam. I honestly don't recommend this place which is a shame because I love a good diner. But with the poor quality of service and food I didn't like, coupled with the fact that it's downtown and parking isn't always easy to find, it's really not worth going to for me.

    "Avocado Toast" = An un-toasted slice of wonder bread with some avocado chunks, giant slices of undercooked onion, and a glob of sauce.
    Stephanie D.

    My rating system is a possible star for: food, drinks, service, ambiance, and "other." Food: No star. My husband got the Avocado Toast, which turned out to be an un-toasted slice of wonder bread with some avocado chunks, giant slices of undercooked onion, and a glob of sauce. It tasted as bad as it looks in the picture. I got the Huevos rancheros, which was a tortilla, eggs, and what tasted like canned chili instead of fresh salsa. Drinks: +1 star. Great hot chocolate and wide selection of drinks including brunch classics like mimosas and bloody Mary's. Service: No star. We waited for at least 15 minutes before flagging someone down to order. Once our awful food arrived, our server never checked on us, and we had to flag the manager down to pay. Ambiance: +1 star. Cute spot. Feels like a comfortable, welcoming diner. Other: No star. They charge a +$2 credit card fee? Unusual to have a fee, especially that amount at a restaurant. If we had been told we would have paid cash.

    Went here on a Friday morning. We were greeted by the ladies in the counter and told us to seat any where we liked. They have large booths which is nice for a bigger party. The waitress where friendly and kind. The food was tasty. It had a lot of flavor! Planning to go back in the weekend to check out the wait times. I ordered the chorizo skillet. It was sizzling and delicious. The chilaquile plate tasted it was done with a homemade chile sauce.

    went there in July of last year and had a nice time there for breakfast- service was good and food was great too. stopped by again this january and decided it'd be my last time. place wasn't busy- it had around 3 couples there (ourselves included)- and service was slacking. i had ordered a toast with eggs and substituted the bacon for sausage and ordered a single side slice of pancake. i received bacon instead and our waitress didn't seem to care that our side dish never arrived. i understand mistakes happen but i saw and heard no excuse for it unfortunately.

The ambience is pretty nice, they have nice animal pictures throughout the restaurant. They have indoor and outdoor seating, a full walk up or sit down bar, and TV's. 3 stars. #3. The service was fantastic, glasses constantly being refilled, asked us if we wanted more bread and butter and our server made some great recommendations "5 Stars" The Food: #1. They gave us 2 nice warm bread rolls with a room temperature salted butter cube. The bread at first tasted salty but then my palate caught up and oh snap! this bread was good!! 5 Stars! #2. The server recommended the beef Wellington. "I ordered it med rare, it came to me med rare" it comes with mashed potatoes and longstem broccoli with cherry tomatoes, and a wine/vinegar reduction for the Wellington. The broccoli had a nice crispness to it and were seasoned perfectly, the cherry tomatoes added some brightness. The mashed potatoes were silky smooth and paired perfectly with the Wellington. NOW THE BEEF WELLINGTON: OH MY .....GOSH!!! My eyes rolled back into my head, it was so good!! The beef was as soft as butter, I could have used a butter knife to cut it (not kidding) and it melted in my mouth. The seasoning with the dough and the spinach with the mushrooms inside nearly caused a wet dream (if you get my point) "and don't even get me started on their reduction sauce for the Wellington!" The waiter walked up to me and smiled and said "and I quote"... gives you goosebumps, right? Oh he knew, HE KNEW!! 5++++ Stars! #3. Wifey ordered the Grilled Salmon salad. She ate the Salmon so fast that I barely had a chance to taste it. She said she really liked it, now I did get a chance to taste the salad and I must say that it was so good that it could have been a stand alone dish. Again 5 Stars. #4. And for dessert we had tiramisu. It came plated beautifully with a raspberry, strawberry, blackberry, whipped cream, and a beautiful orchid flower. The flavor while not the best I've had was still pretty darn good 4 Stars. Overall food and dining experience at the restaurant easily hits 5 stars! Total bill for said food - tip $124 pricewise I felt it was well worth it. Oh I will be back!

My only comment was the crab in my cioppino was not fresh. I can tell that the crab was already cooked when added to the dish.... Yes I can tell. Overall food was great. I wouldn't order the cioppino again because of the crab. DJ was our waitress. Loved her. She made us feel like family.

It was nice that downtown wasn't too crowded and Willard Hicks wasn't overly crowded either. Ambience was casual and relaxed. We were seated at a booth and given waters and menus to look over. Ordered a couple of appetizers and then our entrées. APPETIZERS WH CRAB CAKES $20.00 FRESH LUMP CRAB, SWEET PEPPERS, CILANTRO, TARRAGON ON A BED OF BABY ARUGULA, SERVED WITH OUR CHIPOTLE AIOLI. Crab cakes were good and paired well with the salad greens that came with them. Would definitely return just for the crabcakes. COCONUT CRUSTED SHRIMP $20.00 COCONUT CRUSTED SHRIMP, SWEET PEPPERS, SCALLIONS. THAI CURRY BROTH, MANGO, MICRO GREENS, PEANUTS. The coconut shrimp were delicious. The coconut crust was crisp and golden brown, cooked to perfection. The broth with the mango and micro greens and peanuts paired very well with the shrimp. I just wish I had a spoon to scoop more of it up. Definitely coming back for this one too. ENTRÉES BLACKBERRY GLAZED FILET MIGNON $60.00 OUR 8OZ CERTIFIED ANGUS BEEF FILET MIGNON, BLACKBERRY DEMI GLACE, FIRE ROASTED GRAPES, BLUE CHEESE, SERVED OVER A TRUFFLED PARSNIP PURÉE. This filet mignon was cooked to perfection. It cut perfectly and just melted in your mouth with every bite. The roasted grapes were a pleasant surprise and paired well and the blackberry Demi glaze gave it good flavor. SURF & TURF $78.00 FILET MIGNON, BUTTER-POACHED LOBSTER TAIL, TRUFFLE MASHED POTATOES, ASPARAGUS, BÉARNAISE SAUCE. The surf and turf entrée was on their Mother's Day special menu. The filet mignon was cooked perfectly, and it just melted in your mouth with every bite. The tripled mashed potatoes were delicious, and the asparagus was cooked to perfection while having a little bit of crunch to it. DESSERT COOKIES AND FROZEN MILK $10.00 FRESHLY BAKED CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES, WARM FROM THE OVEN, SERVED WITH A SCOOP OF OUR ICE CREAM. This dessert was a big portion with 2 giant cookies and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Cookies were crunchy and had a warm soft center. They paired well with the cookies and drizzle of chocolate. BUTTER CAKE $14.00 WARM BUTTER CAKE, FRESH STRAWBERRIES AND VANILLA BEAN ICE CREAM. Butter cake was good and paired well with strawberries and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Customer service not bad, however, it could have been better.

    The food was great, but the service was sub par. We had to get up 3× to request things such as salt…read moreand pepper, more sour cream, and onion for our potatoes, and cutlery.

The place also was not busy as it was 530 on a Sunday with plenty of open tables. But near the end, they seem to be more attentive. There's lots of parking nearby on the street and in a covered parking lot where you could charge up your car if you needed to. And easily assessable if you were in a wheelchair.
