    Fish Tacos
    Kevin S.

    This is the place, for excellent service, friendly people, to meet your friends, to treat yourself, for quality food, portions that leave you full and probably with leftovers, freshest fish any where, to support local small business, - there are too many great reasons to dine at APD, and they've been doing all of the above consistently for decades. Hands down best eatery on the NorCalCoast

    Kind of a hole in the wall, and probably could use a refresh on the decor but don't let that fool you. My hubby loved their pizza and he can be a snob. I had their line-caught albacore burger. I appreciate a great fish sandwich and this hit the spot. Meanwhile hubby happily munching on his pizza. Service was fast and fine, the food was really good. So good hubby came back next day for more pizza.

    uncooked veggies on top of my combo pizza slice

    Two issues. The mushrooms and bell peppers on top of my combo pizza slice were completely raw, cold, and crunchy. Next was the service - the man who took my order (I don't know his name) was nice, but the other guy, Jason, was not good at customer service. He seemed very unwilling to help people and acted like he was too good to be there.

    Food was delicious, took awhile to get out to us, so get there early if it's the weekend! Love the big tables, nice and roomy, decor feels classic and warm. The staff are super nice and helpful. It's a great spot and near all my fave places to visit when I'm in town.

    Oh wow! I was not expecting the serving size when I came here! I am a vegetarian so my go to is a veggie sandwich, which can really be a hit or miss at many places. Here it was a total hit! This sandwich was HUGE! The spicy chicken sandwich my boyfriend got was not spicy at all and the French fries were just alright.

    Chimichurri fish sandwich

    So I've been here a few times w my bf bc he loves eating pizza. My face was meh the first time here. They were out of fish for the day so I settled for the pizza. The second time here, I finally got to try the fish sandwich and was quite impressed! Today was the third time here and I ordered the chimichurri fish sandwich and holy smokes it was super tasty!!! I'm officially obsessed. That is all.

    The pizza was bathing in grease, which was disgusting. It has consistently been excessively easy.

    Last week (May 3) at Arcata Pizza and Deli there was an exhibit by an artist who had a Bob Dylan piece. I believe his first Doug but can't recall his last name. Does anyone recall?

    I would call on a weekday between 11 and 11:30 and ask about the art, if not after 6pm

    This is one of those reviews I was hesitant to give because I thought if too many people came it…read morewould change the experience. Since we have moved to Humboldt County, we have been here well over 30 times. I look forward to coming here, it is our go to place when we come down the hill. I have yet to have something bad here, and what I have had makes me salivate when I think about it, heck, I am getting hungry now. So if you want a place to eat in or near Arcata, CA. this is the place. In fact if you are on the 101 and you are between Crescent City and Garberville, you might just want to wait until you get to Arcata to eat.

    I have not eaten here before, not even when it used to be the pantry I liked the menu, so I…read moredecided to do a DoorDash to my motel. Overall, the food was very good, it was packed well, and it came quickly. Unfortunately, the order came with no plastic silverware, no napkins, just the food. Did they not see that this was going to a motel? Fortunately, I had a plastic fork from another meal, and I just used TP for napkins. Please pay a little bit more attention to the details. I decided to go with the à la Mexicana omelette, which had spicy beef, cheese, salsa, diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, sour cream, olives, and green onions. Basically, a "taco omelette." it also came with jalapeños, but I put in the comments to please leave them out, and they did. To drink, I had a "Tutti Frutti", which was orange and cranberry juice, with Sprite. The omelette was very good. They were generous with all of the ingredients. I love a good "taco omelette", and this was right up there with others that I have had. The eggs were tender, the beef and the salsa had just a little bit of a spice, just enough that I knew it was there. I liked the sour cream And The lettuce and the diced tomato provided a nice "pop" of freshness. I loved the drink. The orange and the cranberry played very well together, and they didn't put in so much sprite that it watered down the rest of the flavors. The hashbrowns were OK, just generic restaurant hashbrowns, and I wish they would've given me a choice of the bread when I ordered. I would've mentioned it in the comments, but I didn't think about it. It was just your standard white toast. It was OK, but I would've preferred like a nice sourdough, or rye, or something like that. They have a lot of things on their menu, and I would definitely order from here again, either delivery or in person. Thank you.

I decided on The Backwood burger from their Signature Burgers menu with a side of curly fries. After taking the first bite, I instantly knew this was something I'd be more than willing to throw my money at again and again. Welcome to the world of gourmet, locally-sourced burgers. "Wow" is truly an understatement. My burger was packed with so much flavor - the burger patty felt luxurious, almost like I was eating a steak. The onion rings and bacon in the burger had a satisfying crunchiness and sweetness that was accompanied by an amazing BBQ sauce. I have absolutely no complaints about the burger - eating it was a delightful experience. The curly fries were also good - a steady, basic accompaniment to the burger without too much flavor on their own. However, what the curly fries lacked in flavor they made up for in bulk. And honestly, I don't know what I would have done if the curly fries were as dressed up as my burger anyways...I probably would have lost my mind completely. I ordered my burger for takeout, so I can't speak to the indoor vibe of the restaurant. But what I will say is that I will DEFINITELY be eating here again, and if you're on the fence about eating here/picking up food from here, go ahead and treat yourself!

    What a gem. My wife and I were traveling to Mckinnleyville and came across this amazing eatery…read more At first we were drawn in my the vibe, just as wild as the lost coast. Inside did not disappoint, several different seating areas, all well decked out for different ambiance. Even though it was a packed Vakentines day, and we had no reservations were seated immediately, and the service seemed to be waiting for us. We sat at the huge, live edge red wood bar so we could enjoy the free live music, Angela and Co. killed it. The Valentines day prefix, lasagna with truffle salad and flour less cake looked amazing, but since we only had the one night, we decided on the food that put Papa Wheelies on the map. I had the basic burger, the Eel River Grass Feed beef burger, and it did not let me down. As soon as the beef hit the grill I could smell the quality. Perfectly prepared with sublime execution, just enough of all the right flavors. I can not recall ever having a better burger that I did not make myself. My wife had the Brie Burger that was voted best in Humboldt County, amd we found out why. Same grass fed beef, but cover in brie, chopped bacon and jalapeño pepper jelly. Perfectly seared, just enough pink for a flavor that exploded in your mouth. I have to mention here, that I hate messy burgers, that fall apart and get all over you. Well not at Papa Wheelies. Despite all those toppings is some how stayed together until the very last bite. We were pretty stuffed, but the band played on and the atmosphere was infectious. The menu had seemed sparce at first, but as I looked I relealized that it rambles all around the room, with hidden specials in every corner. In one we discovered the Poutine, made with real cheese curds and LOCAL mushroom gravy, amsntheirbf amousnhandncut fried, we just had to. In the end it was a bridge to far and we had to take most of it to go, but now I can't wait to eat it cold tomorrow. Papa Wheelies isn't just great food, good prices and great times, it is a serious piece of McKinnleyville society, from the localy made ingredients like apple cider vinegar syrup in their mock tails, the mushrooms, chicken and beef as well as the lemon ginger Kombocha, it is as much about their lo al community as it about friends getting together to relax and unwind.
