    Jeff R.

    The hot beef is amazing and worth the stop in!! You will not be disappointed, other options also but this is my go to .

    Very friendly staff. All four of us ordered the pork tenderloin sandwich. It was delicious and the fries were fresh and crispy.

    I was given an opportunity to swing by downtown St. Joe's and have lunch at Pappy's Grill & Pub. It was a good sign to see the parking lot full, had to find parking on the side street. We were seated quickly even though the restaurant was close to full. Jodie was our server and was terrific. Drinks came out quickly, menus are found by finding the QR code on the table. Even though I looked through the menu, I already knew what I wanted when I saw food being delivered as I was being seated. It was the hot beef sandwich with gravy over french fries (see picture). I had hot sauce and a touch of ketchup on this drenched dish and it was terrific. Jodie kept checking up on us constantly and it seems this was a local hangout for the St. Joe's residents. Besides the food being awesome, the service was even better. Thanks for the great service, Jodie. I will be back soon.

    Tenderloin sandwich with chips with Greek seasoning
    Tracy S.

    Their tenderloin is popular for a reason. I got it without cheese because I don't think cheese belongs on a tenderloin. I ate it with mayo and pickles. It was great! And, the homemade chips were fabulous with "Greek" seasoning. Get the seasoning because it makes the chips even better. I couldn't stop eating those chips! The Mexican platter was good but not great. The beef was rather bland. The puffy fried flour tortilla was good, I just wish the beef had more seasoning. We had super friendly service and the waitress made good suggestions. Can't wait to go back.

    Veggie Burger (vegan) - pretty good!
    Tigra C.

    What a pleasant find, and I owe it all to Yelp! I decided to take a group of omnivores here for lunch after discovering that they served a vegan veggie burger. I didn't have high hopes - this is St. Joseph, MO, after all - but at least there'd be something for me to eat. It's a small, hole in the wall, dive bar-like pub, but it was very clean, even the restroom. It has its own parking lot, so you won't have any issues with parking. Again, it's St. Joe, so I wasn't sure what to expect in regards to acceptance, but we were welcomed and greeted with friendly smiles. The veggie burger was good; much better than I expected. It's made with black beans, and the ingredients and toppings tasted very fresh. The curly fries were hot and yummy too. The omnivores all loved their meat burgers and fried shrimp baskets. We all agreed that it was a cool find. Good service and good food in good ole St. Joe.

    My family really likes Pappys because it's not like the million other chain places to eat in St. Joe. It's comfort food and sooo good.

    I've been in St Joe for over a decade now and I'm ashamed to admit that it has taken me this long…read moreto eat here. The food was wonderful! Some people recommend this place, and some don't. I never should have listened to those who are not fans. My husband got 4 twisteds--2 chicken and one of each of the other flavors. They were all so good. And the fresh fried chips were delicious too. I got the fried swai. My husband is not a fan of fish but he kept stealing bites off my plate, it was that good. The batter was light and crisp. And the portion was huge. I LOVED the honey mustard coleslaw. I'm a slaw snob, and I have high standards. I look forward to eating the slaw again. The garlic Parmesan broccoli was good too. We will be back.

    Met a couple of friends for dinner there while I was in town. Was not crowded but it was a holiday…read moreMonday. The theme is interesting, dead musicians and plenty of guitars on the wall. All their food is named after musicians. I had the Hank Williams hamburger, with spicy bacon jam, Cheddar cheese, and a couple of fried onion. The burger was delicious, the bacon jam not overly spicy for me but worked well. Great burger. Came with seasoned fries, also quite good. They brew some of their own beer, which both my friends and I thought they still had a little ways to go to perfect that. I had their Irish Stout which wasn't bad. A little more bitter than Guinness but ok. Definitely great food for a bar, and their craft beer will get there soon. Parking is around back.

The first…read moretime one of our members called ahead to be sure they could accommodate a group that runs between 8 and 20 routinely. They were assured that they could. When we arrived, however, there were only 2 staff on duty, a bartender and a cook. Nonetheless, the bartender and I moved tables and got ready for up to 15. 18 arrived, and the barkeep added a table. He indicated more than once that NO ONE had prepared him for us or even mentioned our reservation. Service was slow, as you can imagine, food arrived over a period of 30 minutes, and several of our group were unhappy but I detailed the situation to them and mentioned that it was not the bartender/server's fault. the food was good, in almost everyone's estimation. Obviously the cook knew what HE was doing. I tried to get everyone back in there again for about a year before they all said ok, and we scheduled again, 2 or 3 weeks before our visit. when we arrived it was the same story. I asked to speak to the manager or owner, but neither was there. later, I attempted to find the owner's name to discuss this nicely with them, as I have been in business management since 1974, and understand the demands and that owners would always like to know if things aren't right in their absence. After research, I was told the owner listed in the current, 2023, city directory was gone and a new owner had it. In any case, we polled the group and decided to take our group of 16 elsewhere. I noticed we constituted about a 100% increase in lunch attendance from what I saw, and our tab that day at a similar business exceeded $ 225. That's a lot to lose on inefficient communication! I doubt I can convince that gang to try them again, but I liked the food. Maybe I'll get it from Grubhub next time because this is ridiculous. If you have more than 6 for lunch there, keep moving....
