Gyro is great, coneys are great, club sammie is great, and service is always great! I'm looking forward to trying other things on the menu but have never been disappointed. read more

The food was great and service was excellent. They have a great attitude. It was affordable.

Always great. I've tried almost everything on the menu. Don't forget to order the jalapeño poppers. Best I've had!!!

Food was subpar.. was surprised to find this in my to go bag.. bit of advice, business owner, leave religion out of my burger and fries. While I'm not offended, others maybe. Shoving religious propaganda in my food won't make me repent. Thanks tho! read more

Papa’s Drive Thru - Letter - Fast Food Near Me - Ferndale, Michigan

Well... this used to be a checkers and I was devastated when they closed. This new place popped up so figured I'd give them a try so I could say how much I dislike them and bring back my checkers.. That didn't happen, and now I'm shook. To start the person that took my order was very pleasant. A refreshing change in fast food. She was courteous, friendly yet efficient. First up is the Boston cooler. Yes it's about 50 degrees end of October and I ordered an ice cream drink. I can't recall seeing a fast food chain with this Michigan fav on the menu. It didn't disappoint! The jalepeno poppers were popping hot and fresh. The fries were crisp and not too salty and the sandwich on point. Did I just find my new favorite spot??? read more

See all

Everything I chose was delicious, and I will go back, maybe not great if ya trying to lose weight.

Fast service and fresh food. Made order before closing and they took my order and everything was nice and hot and made great!

Employees always nice Food always fresh Way better than fast food joints. Burgers and gyros are great! I need to try other menu items read more

Attention to detail. Fresh, fast, friendly. Great portions. Will go again! Family sampled a variety from menu: Greek chicken salad, had good ratio of veggies and toppings to lettuce. Gyro was excellent. Sampled sides: zucchini, mushrooms, chili cheese fries, and corn dog bites. All good. Minor critique was the fried mushrooms were too chewy. The outside breading was crispy, but the mushroom inside was tuff. read more

If you like big sloppy burgers this is the place to go. I can't say it was the best tasting Burger I've ever had but it is delicious for the price. Definitely a three napkin Burger. I only went to the drive-thru but this place seem very efficient, and I would say give it a try and tell us your opinion. read more

Papa’s Drive Thru - a window with a sign that says thank you for choosing papadaky - Fast Food Near Me - Ferndale, Michigan

Typical drive through burger joint fare is what you'll discover at Pappa's Drive Thru. There are a few menu standouts from the usual such as fried cauliflower and zucchini; catfish and rib tips. I stopped here on my way home from a long day because the signage appealed to me. The food, however, was just ok for my palate. I ordered the steak & cheese combo. Basically a steak hoagie with fries and a drink. The portions were huge. It was much too much to eat after a long day. I thought that I'd save half the sandwich for a midnight snack, but I since I didn't care for it, nah. I cannot quite put my finger on why I didn't care for the meat, but I couldn't eat it. The fries were average, I didn't finish those either. I wouldn't say that I wouldn't try anything else on the menu. If I'm driving by hungry, I may. Most combos are less than $10, so you won't break the bank. Try this one for yourself. You may enjoy it. read more

Best drive through food anywhere. Menu ranges from "fast food fare" but like, GOOD versions of fast food stuff, to Coney Island options, enough choices in the appetizer/starter category to make any chain restaurant be ashamed, and some full blown meal/entrees. All made to order, and FAST. Papa's (despite the drive through) is not fast food, but it is GOOD FOOD fast. read more

I tried this place via doordash today and was highly impressed with everything I got! Turkey club had a generous portion of meat and cheese although it was missing the bacon it was supposed to come with. I got a side of the mini corn dogs - amazing. The batter was both crispy and sweet. I also tried the bbq rib tips which were good but I thought the sauce could be better. The strawberry shortcake is a bit misleading - was expecting a cake with some fruit and whipped cream but it was actually a shake that had fruit and cake pieces. Even better. Very happy with my experience and will for sure order again read more

2 stars as today was the third time my simple order of Double Cheeseburger NO PICKLES, HEAVY MAYO was wrong. Instead, I received a Double Cheeseburger, 6 darned pickle slices and no mayo no onion. The service is kind, but something gets lost in translation between the cashier and the cooks. I think I'm done. Wendy's is across the street when I want a burger. Ugh! read more

This place is wonderful I stay near by and me and my family love papas. the food is great I had try different things and I had no complaints about anything because everything I order was delicious and great. I will recommend this place to anybody. read more

Man this place is good good. We have been ordering here via door dash all week at work and we all won't shut up about how good it is. The chicken sandwich was just okay. A little salty. But still edible. My coworkers said they have had it before and it was good then so I think just an off day. But babyyyyy. The iced tea chicken pita and chili cheese fries were bangin!!! Whoever came up with the iced tea recipe needs to patent that boy. I'm a iced tea fanatic and this might be the best I ever had. 5 stars. 10/10. Gold medal. And they got a drive thru, what more you want. read more

See all

Super friendly staff! And the food was delish. The young man recommended the banana pudding shake and it did not disappoint! I'll be back

I had the chicken pita and a grilled chicken salad. Both were very good. With a cherry Pepsi. The server was very nice and told me. Thanks for coming to their restaurant. That was very nice of her to say that. read more

Highly recommend for quick, fried food!! They have a massive menu with something for everyone. Their prices are also incredibly reasonable and their service is very fast. read more

Papas is in our regular rotation for family dinner and milk shakes. But today they catered my daughter's fourth birthday party at Geary Park for 40 people. They did incredible. They called several times leading up to the event to confirm delivery, update the order based on RSVPs, and told me where to get the cheap chaffing dishes. They came and set everything up which is one less thing during a busy morning. When they arrived they brought my daughter bubbles and her favorite milk shake. Tina I believe is who helped us. The sweetest lady. read more

Good food! We all got something different and we liked everything. Crinkle cut fries are always fun. Prices are fair and the food came out hot and fast. read more

This place is wonderful, everything I've had from Papa's has been delicious. I live close so I'm there often. Lol and really nice staff. I've never been disappointed. read more

I went to pick some food up from my wife. The service was super fast and they were friendly. Every food place should strive to treat their customers like this place. Best fast food service I've received in years. My wife said the hot dog and fries were excellent as well. read more

I l or this place to. Offering a chicken sandwich as we speak. Cannot wait to get my mouth on it

First time going here. Noticed it and a couple other places pop up with the same name. Small chain. Heard from a friend the burgers were good. Went there and ordered for me and my co-workers. 4 of us and we all got full orders fried drinks etc. burgers were really good fries were soggy and full of oil. When I asked the drive through person for one thing of ranch (for chicken sandwich) she said it was $0.79 after I already used my card to pay for food, and then I asked for ketchup and hot sauce for fries and she said $0.55 each. I thought that was crazy after spending $60+ through a drive thru and they wanted to charge and extra $3 for a couple ketchup one ranch and one hot sauce. read more

Used to be good. They changed their mini corn dog recipe. Now they suck. Delivery fee on door dash is ridiculous and their hours suck. Used to recommend highly. Now I wouldn't barely recommend. Also they say "coke" on door dash even though they serve Pepsi products. HUGE mis-advertising. read more

I am extremely pleased to say that this was one of THE best experiences that I have had at a restaurant... There was initially a mistake made with my order, so I called to speak with a manager to share my dilemma. He was immediately apologetic as well as sympathetic because of my inability to return that night so that he could rectify the concern. He (Mr. Pete) told me to return at my convenience and he assured me that he'd make things right. I must say that when I returned, not only did he and his team treat me with the utmost respect and kindness, but I was so pleased with the service that I left a tip! The food is quality, I have referred many people, and will continue to patronize this establishment! Please keep up the good work. You guys are amazing! I too am a business owner and they make us look real good. See you soon. I am excited about trying other items on the menu!!! read more

After frequenting this business, a few times in the last couple of months, I placed a small order today of 20 chicken nuggets, and a medium Coke. When I arrived to pick up my order, I was given another huge order that was not mine. I informed by the older man at the window,, who I believe is the owner, that this order was not mine and, restated with my order was. He said another person came in with the same name, and he gave them both orders and that these kind of things happen sometimes., After stating this, he walked away from the pick up window, and proceeded to take orders from the other window. I was confused, I went down to the order window, and then waited until he finished taking a order, and re-inquired about my order. At this time the older gentleman got really loud with me, he stated I already told you this kind of thing happens sometimes and shrugged me off. When I threatened to take the order that was initially given to me, he then threaten to call the police on me. I stated, I paid $16 and some change for 20 nuggets and a medium pop and I'm not leaving here until I get something for my money or a refund. At this time, a younger man who seemed related to the owner came from behind the counter, and stopped cooking to tell me that he would drop me another order of nuggets and make sure I get my order. This is another example of other people moving into a community and having no respect for the people in that community. The elderly gentleman really expected me to walk away with no compensation for my money spent because he threatened to call the police. It was only after I did not flinch and suggested that they call the police that anyone even offered me a resolution. As a community we need to think before we spend. read more

I really miss the neighborhood checkers is what I want to say first of all to start this review. What came in its spot is awesome. My expectations were low for a drive thru Cajun catfish dinner...... But I was beyond wrong! It was perfectly cooked and seasoned as well as a large portion was not expecting that. My Greek salad was crisp, loaded, and DRY.None of that weird soup salad at the bottom.Believe they use double cooking technique for the fries because the crisp and golden and they come in seasoned ones if you like but I just got the plain. Friendly and professional service to round out the experience , would definitely Recommend to a friend. read more

Skip the generic fast food burger joint and just go here. Friendly service and excellent food. Not much else to say.

I tried the Gyro and fried pickle spears. Absolutely DELICIOUS! The food was seasoned just right and full of flavor. I can't wait to try other dishes. This is definitely a go-to restaurant. Customer service is great. "Get your order right without an attitude." type of customer service. They are originally from Flint, MI. Welcome to Detroit! I highly recommend this restaurant! read more

I love this place! The chicken sandwich is my favorite. The staff is friendly. The food is made to order so it's HOT and FRESH so be patient it might take a little while. It's worth the wait. read more

Customer service could b better, decent-ish prices. The first time I went I just needed a side of red onions & they gave it to me no charge, I did decide to still tip. The last time I went I ordered a chicken pita & substituted my fries for fried cauliflower & they charged me the full price of the cauliflower side which defeats the purpose of substituting because I literally paid full price and could have did that and ended up with fries and fried cauliflower so it's not really a substitution... Also, my meal came with no condiments. There's a sign on the window that says to ask for condiments but I think it's pretty common to automatically serve ranch with a chicken pita. I also asked for heavy onions on my chicken pita & I got none. Granted I could have gotten these resolved had I checked the bag before I left the driver thru but I was in a rush & didn't have time. These are all issues that could have been easily avoided. Nevertheless, food was pretty good flavor wise so I may give them another chance but idk yet read more

Always a pleasure with staff at this location. Great food and fresh!! Thank you for another great restaurant!!

Had the fried mushrooms and fried zucchini which were fresh and crispy. Also had a gyro which was marginal. Will go back to try some other items. read more

Tried this spot tonight for the first time. Food is great. Prices very reasonable and service was great. Will definitely be back.

This is my first visit to Papa's Drive-Thru and the staff was really friendly and helpful on recommendations. I got the gyro meal with cheese fries. The food was prepared really quick and very fresh. It's refreshing to have a fast food company in my neighborhood that isn't a global corporation. read more

I can't let this go... Ordered 2 cheeseburgers with everything. What I got was 2 messy burgers on non- grilled cold buns, loaded w/mayo & tomatos. No onions, mustard, ketchup or pickles @ all. 19.00 wasted. It was late & mom was hungry. I called to complain the next day; some female says she wasn't there. Didn't offer any type of consolation, etc..left a bad taste in my mouth... read more
