    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!

    Bella H.

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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...

    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!!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

The host who helped us was a young girl and she was very polite, nice, and helpful. :) Something I really love about this restaurant is that they have so many amazing different options to select from. It was honestly a bit tough to make a decision because everything sounded so great in the menu! lol. Eventually I did decide I would try something new so I chose the Filet Mignon Pasta because it sounded like something that is very unique. I have never heard of this before so I was inspired to try it out! :) My boo got the Chicken with rice and broccoli. Everything was delicious! &Wow the food arrived very fast. I must say we absolutely LOVED the Filet Mignon Pasta it was PACKED with so much juicy, meaty, flavor. Yum yum! Highly recommend. Everything with our experience here was lovely and our server was pretty decent also. I only took one star off because the restaurant experience leaves a little to be desired like we don't necessarily love it enough to come back but it was definitely a nice experience overall. :) The #1 memorable thing about our experience was the delicious pasta :D but everything else was pretty standard. Still I would definitely recommend for a date night, small get together, and/or a quiet business meeting (since I noticed a few going on at the time lol.)

I wasn't sure what else was around in the bakery department, so my husband drove me down town to see what we could find. I spotted GVA and ran in right before closing as a last-resort, hoping they had something I could bring as a dessert to a friend's house. I caught the cashier while trying to get a quick bite, but she hurried to help (even with her mouth full, which I appreciated, being in a rush myself). She was very friendly and I got the chocolate chip cookies and biscottis I was hoping to find. The cookies were impressively big (my daughter told me they were as big as her head). We cut each cookie into 6 pieces so everyone could try the different types: chocolate chip, chocolate chocolate, and oatmeal, and then almond and chocolate biscottis.

Another sign states that Betsy's has been serving this community since 1981. I was greeted immediately upon entering and advised to "just sit anywhere." I grabbed the first booth I encountered and was brought water and menu right away. The waitress took my order of a bacon cheeseburger and onion rings ($16.50). A few minutes later the onion rings of my dreams (super crispy on the outside and a real onion rings inside with enough crunch left that you can bite through without dragging a soggy onion out of its outer shell, so each mouthful is both onion and crunchy coating) arrived and a sandwich with crispy (not soggy, underdone) bacon, hefty burger patty (done just how I like them with carmelized edges and perfectly done thick center) with cheese, pickles, red onions, lettuce and mayo. I asked them to leave off the tomato due to my food allergies. The bun was soft but held up well to the heft of the sandwich. The decor was classic 60's style diner. While the seats were well padded and the covering looked practically new, some of the tables showed the wear of the years on the corners. There is also a short lunch counter next to the kitchen. What really caught my attention is the staff seemed to know most of the guests and greeted them by name as they came and went and inquired into different aspects of their lives. This personal touch reflects what seems to be a long-time relationship with dedicated customers. Parking is close to the door. This place was a little hard for me to find as it is behind the bowling alley at Tennant Station Shopping center, but was well worth the effort to locate and enjoy.
