Even though it was our first time eating here, everyone -- staff and regular patrons -- made us feel right at home with warm smiles and full plates that your grandma would approve of. The fried chicken was a winner, along with the squash, cornbread and biscuit. The full parking lot and long line at the drive-through made us realize we needed to look no further. read more

Was in the area with my Granny for an appointment and stopped afterwards. It's cafeteria style. You go down the line and let them know why options you want. A variety of meats, vegetables and breads. The portion sizes were decently generous. I like that for some of the veggies that they put them in a separate container so the juices are not overflowing to the other food. Customer service is really good and Granny loved all her food! read more

Country cooking, cafeteria style. Easy. Menu is different everyday. You can order burgers and sandwiches. They serve breakfast and have pretty good biscuits. Fried chicken is goodn Thursday is fried pork chops day and we'll worth a visit. The staff is beyond great. They treat everyone like family and your cup of tea is never empty. Well worth a visit for lunch or breakfast. One of my favorite items is the carrot and raisins salad... read more

Papa Jack's is in the heart of Braselton and it is a little gem of the town. The servers are super homely and attentive. The feel of the place ( we didn't sit in the front bar area) was like a rustic home setting. The food was good and was more like homestyle. They have a few items that change daily on the menu. We had fish tacos and some sandwiches. I will post photos soon. read more

They have great service, but I don't personally like the food. I have tried it multiple times, and they have a following that really enjoys it. Personally I think growing up around this area everyone has there preference on biscuits, and sides. Worth the shot, you never no it may be your flavor profile they always have a line. read more

Been coming here for almost 2 decades, since the old location next to the bottle shop as well. A Duncan Corners staple, this is what it's all about. This is authentic southern cuisine and a perfect country kitchen. Papa Jack is a standup guy and never fails to make your morning, along with the rest of the staff. It doesn't get much better and more authentic than papa jacks. Dining room is always pleasant and servers are nice as can be, PJ also hosts some neat ol car shows too that are well known in the community read more

Thought I would give an update, but everything is the same. Papa Jack's is my go to place and I've moved 15 miles away but I still come over here in the morning when I can to grab my bacon egg and cheese biscuit with some grits or ham, coffee or on Friday night still get my fried catfish and hush puppies, which are the best around. A lot of the same people have worked here 20 years and supported the local area and definitely were Norm goes ! everybody knows your name if you're a regular or they know who you are. Consistent quality, food , friendly, best service around you cannot beat Papa Jack's! Call it country food or soul food it's the place in flowery branch Braselton, Winder areas. Highly recommend.!!! read more

If you love home style cooking, then you'll love Papa Jacks! The food is tasty Southern style comfort with servers filling your sweet tea glass faster than you can drink it. It makes me smile to hear "Honey",, "Darlin'" and "Sweetheart" while being served some of the best banana pudding in Georgia. Good food, great Southern atmosphere, and friendly, caring service are the hallmarks that make this restaurant a favorite for me. read more

My husband and I were looking forward to some real southern cooking and, especially, their fried chicken livers. We arrived about 11:35 in hopes of getting food that had not been sitting out for a long time. unfortunately, the chicken livers were not hot and were fried to the point that they were tiny hard rocks. we both had mashed potatoes and brown gravy, both of which were obviously not homemade. The gravy tasted straight from a jar. my husband had fried squash that was inedible (again tasted like something you would buy in the frozen food isle of the grocery store). The only decent thing we had was the turnip greens and they were nothing to write home about. I will say that the customer service was great. Very friendly employees from the servers to the cashier, etc. We really wanted to love this place since we just moved to the area but, unfortunately, we couldn't have been more disappointed. read more

My husband and I went into Papa Jacks and we were greeted by a lady who opened the door for us. We told her this was our first time in Papa Jacks and she directed us to the lunch line. We turned the corner and saw several steaming trays full of fried chicken and chicken fried steak, meatloaf and other comfort food entrees. We also saw vegetables and Mac and cheese, black eyed peas. The server asked if I wanted biscuits or cornbread. The food was delicious. We paid at the cash register and a server carried my husbands tray to our table. I would enjoy eating here again. Our meal cost $25.60 read more

I visited papa jacks while in town for my brothers wedding. I wanted to provide breakfast for the bridal party as they got ready and The breakfast was amazing and the staff was soo friendly! I was able to feed more than 10 people for less than $50 read more

Service sucks. They will close drive thru randomly, not answer the phone, or bother to update their website. Food also sucks. You can tell just about everything is either canned or frozen. Ambiance is okay since they are going for a no class theme. Used to enjoy about 10 years ago but they have since made adjustments switching from fresh produce to fresh out of a can. Not worth it. read more

If you are looking for really good home cooking, this is the place to go. The service and people working there are so nice and willing to go the extra mile to ensure you have a great experience. Try the biscuits and country gravy. The bacon and sausage are both great as well as the made to order pancakes! read more

I personally do not recommend. The food is bland. No seasoning whatsoever. My two year old refused to eat the food and he loves southern cooking. Complete waste of money. On a positive note, the staff we encountered were all nice and helpful. Did find it odd they asked for a tip at the drive thru though. read more

Always great food, delicious and cooked just right. The best service available anywhere, always ready to take care of anything you may require, plenty of parking spaces, 2 spacious dining rooms, well worth the trip. read more

Great food. Fast service. It's cafeteria style and atmosphere so you have to be OK with that. Otherwise a great place to eat.

Down home cooking, casual seating, great service. You will be satisfied with the food and the price.

I wanted to be fair when I gave my review which is why I gave this place 3 stars. I'll be white honest, I'm not a huge fan of the food, but the service here is world class hospitality. If you're thinking of coming here there are a few things you need to know. 1. This is not a sit down and order you food place 2. You stand in a lunch (breakfast) line 3. They have a drive thru On to the food: I had 2 eggs over medium, hash browns, bacon, and a sweet tea. Eggs cooked perfectly. The hash browns were stale and rubbery almost: they're sitting out too long getting over cooked in that heat. The bacon was the star of the show. Crispy just like I like it! The sweet tea was perfect! Wife had. Scrambled eggs, hash browns, bacon, and biscuit with gravy. He's were good with the added Texas Pete hot sauce. Hash browns was the same story. The biscuit was not soft and fluffy, it was water chewy and hard to cut through with a fork. The gravy was not great either. Some extra salt or sausage grease would have jazzed it up more. It tasted like flour. That's the first thing I tasted right away. The reason I gave 3 stars was the service. The folks in the kitchen were all friendly and joking with the customers. The ladies on the floor taking plates and filling up cups are all very nice and chatting up the customers. I'd come back to eat the eggs and bacon only, just because the service was great. read more

The food was good and the staff is the best. If you are looking for country cooking with a family atmosphere, this is the place.

Two things to start 1. I did take out through the drive thru and starting eating my food almost 20-30min later and 2. If you label yourself as a Country Restaurant and you have corn bread, I will judge everything on the corn bread. I really wish I could give Papa Jack's 3.5 stars, but don't think deserve only 3. I used the drive thru, since I was running home with 2 little ones. The drive thru was easy but I only ordered 1 meat and 1 side, because I was a little frazzled with their main menu and their Sunday menu. I got the chicken fried steak, mac and cheese, and corn bread. I got their popular peach cobbler as well- had to try it. The lady taking my order was very nice and quick with my order. I will say though after looking at their menu and prices, I feel I was over charged for my food. $8+ for my meal, when on their menu 1 meat and 2 sides are $6 and change. The steak was actually really good and I bet it would be awesome and crunchy but with the gravy and waiting it got it soggy. The gravy was a little salty. The mac and cheese was okay, wish they were little more creamy. Now let's talk about the corn bread! NOOO!!!! This was bad corn bread. It was very dry, lacked any corn taste and had no flavor or buttery feel. I was really disappointed. The peach cobbler was really good! It was sweet and syrupy. I will be back for the cobbler. I hope to go again and eat in, but was average food from what I had today. read more

I really enjoy the breakfast. The biscuits are huge and easily loaded with whatever you want. Buttery on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Full breakfast menu with the normal go-tos and plenty of meat options. Cozy interior with plenty of seating and a large back room. The people working here are even a reason to stop in! They are so polite and amazing to talk to as they are the nicest people to ever exist in the hospitality business. Quick and easy meal everytime I come in! read more

Food was good. Biscuit and gravy, bacon and scrambled eggs. No complaints. I felt like I was being held hostage for a tip at the drive through. Even at the drive through, I am gonna have to learn how to make a decent biscuit.. read more
