Came across Pappy's Cookin restaurant when I was looking for a good breakfast joint. So glad I decided to come here! The food was so good, it definitely felt like eating something your grandparents would fry you up. Real Kentuckian styled food here. I could tell it was made with love. Our server, Thea, was an absolute doll. She was attentive and so friendly. I tipped her over 50%. When I'm back in the area, I'll definitely be coming again. The ambiance was lovely. Nothing fancy, but felt homey. Don't let this strip mall restaurant scare ya away, it was a true delight! read more

Pappy's Cookin' - Country fried steak, mashed potatoes and green beans - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Flatwoods, Kentucky

I worked here for a short while and I have never worked at a more rude and hostile environment! The kitchen acts like they want to kill the servers for no reason... Me and a fellow server was drowning on the floor and the owners wouldn't get off their butts to come help and run the register or do anything to help us. If you don't suck the mangers big toe you can't get anywhere there. Not to mention the other servers are all rude and sneaky and try to get ya in trouble. Which is easy to do because they don't train anyone properly. Then after they fired me the owner Denise called me a cunt. read more

Food is wonderful. Flavor and temp are great. Service is pretty good. Only complaint is sometimes it takes a while to get the food. It's a great setting. read more

We've been a couple of times now. Had the fish this last trip, they were out of coleslaw. Fish was well prepared & flavorful. We've both enjoyed breakfast here & it's always well prepared. The soup beans are an excellent choice as well. Service is efficient & very friendly. The whole place is small town quaint, well lit & nicely spaced out. read more

Came home for girlfriend trip with high school friends and was so excited to find this place. I grew up on L&J and Edmonds and wish we more local spots. Please support local!! Especially when it's so so good. Everything was fresh and perfect. Service was friendly and prices was from back in time for this Louisville girl. read more

Yelp did not let us down! We had a delicious and filling breakfast here. After we got our beverages and ordered, the server brought a couple of apple fritters, on the house. The fritters were delicious! Hubby and I both ordered the breakfast skillet, his with bacon, over easy eggs and a biscuit, mine had bacon, scrambled eggs and toast. Everything was delicious and we ordered 6 apple fritters to go! (Great marketing on the part of Pappy's.) Only thing that would have been better is butter on the toast instead of margarine. Thanks for a great breakfast experience. read more

Pappy's Cookin' - Wow what an omelette! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Flatwoods, Kentucky

Pappy's served up just what we needed - delicious food and warm hospitality. Open since 2017, don't be fooled, this strip mall diner is amazing. Fresh, yummy, home cooking is here. I loved how caramelized the veggies in my omelette were. Yes, get the fritters and buy some to go for your best friend. COVID 19 safety is being observed here. We loved all of it, and you will too! read more

Excellent biscuits and gravy. I thought I had 4 biscuits but it was just 2 huge ones cut in 4. If I lived closer I would come more often. Would highly recommend at-least for breakfast that's all I had. Great friendly staff. Inside could use a little pepping up but I was there for food not fancy dining just good home cooked breakfast and they didn't disappoint. read more

Very disappointed in the food. Chicken and dumplings were supposed to be like home cooking, but the chicken was canned and the dumplings were just big balls of dough! Service was good though. read more

The food is homemade. Every thing was delicious. It's a small place but the food is out of this world. It's the best little hidden place in a strip mall. You won't be disappointed. The service is great too. Very friendly. read more

Was very disappointed in my order today. Hadn't eaten there in a while and thought I would give a carryout a try. I ordered spaghetti. When asked if I wanted, bake spaghetti, I replied no just regular spaghetti. I asked if it came with a side such as a side salad she replied no just garlic bread. When I picked it up, my first thought was oh this is awful light. Is this my order? Yes, it was my order. There was enough spaghetti probably for a child's serving, and two pieces of garlic bread laying on top of the spaghetti to become soggy. The sauce was average in taste with maybe just a little too much oregano. Needless to say there's no value for your money on this meal. Spaghetti is one of the cheapest meals that can be fixed. Amount charged $12.50. I am aware that in today's financial climate, a lot of places are having a rough time. The cost/serving size of this item should be reevaluated and brought in line with some of your other dishes. Next time I'll just go to Giovanni's, not only more spaghetti but cheaper. There a serving of carryout spaghetti is $7.49 and an order of garlic bread is $3.49 total cost $10.98. read more

Pappy's is down home home Appalachian cooking at its finest! Located in Flatwoods Ky. Favorite dishes from Chicken and dumplings, to fried liver and onions, to burgers and hot dogs! Stop in for a visit, you won't regret it! read more

I REALLY wanted to like this place- home cooking, right? Home fries were over cooked, eggs were a bit scorched on the bottom, onions & peppers were under cooked-, biscuits were cold & chewy. My husband's calf liver was like shoe leather, mushy canned corn. This was at 10am so the food should have been fresh. Waitress was pleasant, but didn't ask us if we enjoyed our meal. Disappointed read more

Very good home style cooking with a good atmosphere and attentive friendly server. The prices are very reasonable if not in the cheap side and with the food tasting as if it was homemade it is well worth putting on your weekly dining rotation. This hidden hem of a restaurant will not stay hidden forever so get in here and get in on the action before the crowds find out. Love the military tribute table. read more

Worst service ever got here at 410 and she came and took my drink order then never come back it is now 500 and they are closing

The food is usually decent but the service is usually really slow. You can get pancakes or spaghetti so anyone should be able to find something on the menu. read more

I was concerned that at first we were the only customers, however the place started getting others before we left. We were pleasantly surprised. The waitress had the perfect personality. She brought us a couple of hot excellent apple fritters while we waited for our order. Everything was good. What amazed me the most was how clean it was. I have never seen a restaurant this clean, it was spotless. I could see into the kitchen and it was just as clean. I will not hesitate to eat here again. read more

Great location! Staff was professional yet treated you like family. We ate breakfast one day and dinner this evening. Large portions of food given. I had open face turkey and the wife had veggie sizzler. Food had that "homemade" taste,you can tell they use family recipes by the texture and seasoning of the food. Overall fabulous experience! Breakfast is served all day. The only place I ever ate where they cooked the bacon and hash browns EXACTLY the way I asked(very well done). We will be back! Look over the menu,it's very "home cookin" diverse! read more

Pappy's Cookin' - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Flatwoods, Kentucky

Let me start out by saying the service was top notch. Friendly and fun and prompt. The only down side is the food was just okay. Nothing overly special. But I also understand COVID has affected a lot of restaurants. I would go back if I'm ever in the area again for work. Again like I said, best service ever. read more

First time dining here. Food and service were average at best. We were hoping for better based off of other reviews. Would not recommend.

Home cooking at its best, and they are the kindest, most helpful people you will ever meet. I started as a vendor knowing very little about them or their business. The more I learned the more I loved about both. Now they are friends forever. If you are blessed enough to be there while mammy and pappy are there be sure to say hello to these sweet people. The whole menu is great!! read more

We got the country fried steak dinner and the turkey club. Both tasted just like homemade. The turkey was not lunch meat it came from a real baked turkey breast. The meals are truly home cooking. The onion rings are also soooo good! You need to visit this place. read more

Was looking forward to going there after hearing from owners, and let's just say WORST DINNER. I waited 47 min for two meals one was a club sandwich. Once I made it home with the food they forgot part of order. After two hours of waiting it was worth it. Horrible customer service. Need new waitress!!!!! read more

They advertise free delivery, but rarely have a driver. The last 5 times I ordered from them, they messed up at least part of the order. Tonight, they left the vegetables out and what they did get right wasn't good. I called and let them know that they had, yet again, messed up our order. They offered to let me come back and get the veggies, but by then everything else would have been cold. I talked to the owner who was very condescending. As I was telling him the problem, he said, "are you finished yet?" They never offered to re-make the two dinners correctly so that everything would be hot. I finally couldn't take the excuses and condescending attitude anymore and just hung up. It's sad too. Our little town needs a good family style restaurant. read more

absolutely the worst meal Ive ever had. Stopped for convenience sake..what can go wrong with a name like Pappys Home Cooking? I'll tell you what...ordered eggs over medium..white done..yellow running, grits, bacon and toast. Simple breakfast.....eggs looked like a plate of snot, they were so runny, grits looked like a lump of paste, toast, thin Walmart brand bread. Creamers for coffee? a glass of milk! smh! coffee had been sitting a while obviously. I Just got out of hospital and their food was better and that's saying something! Ate the scraggly toast, paid our check, and left sick at my stomach! read more

Visiting town for a day and decided to try them for breakfast. We were not disappointed in anything. The customer service was top notch and the food was delicious. Next time we are in town we know where to go for good food. read more

Good home style food, good service, clean restaurant, clean bathrooms, health inspection rating of 100% four times consecutively.

This is a gem in flatwoods. We are lucky to have it here. This family owned business makes you feel welcomed and the food is fantastic. I have not had ine thing there that I didnt love. You can tell the employees out their heart into the food and service. read more

Delicious! Service was great. One of our favorite places to go now!! Make sure to try dessert!!

I've eaten here lots of times always hot and fresh. They are the best place to eat in a Flatwoods imo

I've ordered food for delivery twice now and both were 1-star experiences. The first delivery took an hour to get to us (we are 15 minutes away) and we were missing a drink and the mayonnaise we made sure to request on the side. The second delivery took just as long. Again, no mayo, even though I made sure to ask twice since it was left out last time. Everything was cold when it got to us! My french toast was cool, doughy, and soggy with syrup that should have come in its own cup on the side. To top it off, as I was signing the receipt and writing down the total (after adding a tip that was more generous than earned) the deliverer told me I didn't have to fill that part out? The part where I write the total plus tip to verify how much I am paying, so no one can go back and add more to the tip?? So shady! read more

Got the potato soup. It cost almost $5. It was horrible. Not edible at all. Had to throw out. Stay away from the soup.

Best place in the area for home cooked food... The salad bar has home made dressings, soups were home made- everything from scratch..

Excellent food and staff, would definitely recommend. Burgers and hot dogs are the usual, although everything that I have ordered is great. Check them out it will be well worth your time. read more
