    The House Hungry breakfast was on my mind this day. Papa's did not disappoint. Wonderful flavors with very large portions. The service was exceptional, always knowing when to top the coffee cup. The coffee is fresh hot and tasty. Don't miss Papa's when in the area.

    Everything was amazing!! We are from out of town and stopped her for lunch. The place was nicely set up with things to purchase. The employees were prompt to sit us fastly and very nice. The food was amazing. We had country fried steak, grilled cheese, soup, and a BLT. The waitress was so nice and helped us figure out a nice place to look at a waterfall. We would go back here again when we are in town.

    My husband and I went on a double date with our son for Breakfast/ lunch and even though they were crazy busy ( Saturday) we didn't have to wait long and the whole staff was AMAZING!!!! I had never been there before but it's a usually place for my husband and his co workers for breakfast and I'm so glad he suggested it. We bought a lot of cute things that were marked down from Christmas so great food, great company and cute little surprises we didn't expect. I can't wait to go back. I HIGHLY SUGGEST THE STRAWBERRY COBBLER AND KJ RECOMMENDS THE TRIPLE CHOCOLATE CAKE. LOL

    I see the place packed out the door all the time so I expected it to be good. The employees are always kind and with good service. However, I’ve been multiple times and the food has ranged from mediocre to inedible. Once we complained that our fried pickles were soggy and absolutely soaked in grease with a large pool at the bottom of basket ( fried at too low oil temp) and we’re told by our server that’s just “how they come”. They did ultimately take them off my bill. I’ve only been for breakfast, maybe the lunch is good 🤷‍♂️

    Well, I came here 2 days in a row hoping I had found my new breakfast spot. The prices were decent but my eggs were very runny (over easy) and I had ordered then over medium... That's a pretty simple task for a breakfast spot. Most folks order "over medium" because they don't want the slimy, watery, runny part of the egg white. They want a runny yolk ONLY... The server never even asked if something was wrong with the eggs I clearly didn't eat nor did she ask if I wanted a refill on my coffee... What a disappointment... These are simple things to be expected. I manage a restaurant so I'm well aware of how things should operate and this was a bummer...

    I really enjoyed this little place. The food was delicious and comforting. Unfortunately, the lemoncello cake is a must. The service was also excellent. And, to top it all off, the prices are reasonable! Can't wait to go back.

    What a cute place. What great service. What delicious food! We were in town on vacation, and I did my research on where to eat betweent destinations and chose Papa's place. 24 gr breakfast.. their pancakes.. guess and soft middle and crucnhyish outside, just perfect. We gad the grilled pork chops too, my oh my! The mac'n'cheese, the corn muffin, the taco soup, the onion rings!!!!!!, the apple crisp, the cinnamon, alllll homemade. And it's budget-friendly. Nailed choosing perfect place to eat!!!

    Very pleasantly surprised with my experience here. We stumbled upon this fairly hidden gem and went in for brunch. It has a homey vibe, the wait staff are very friendly and helpful with menu options. The food itself was very tasty and gave exactly what it was supposed to give as far as brunch goes. Highly recommend if you're in the area.

    Went here with my mom for breakfast before shopping and it was very delicious. Since it was busy the food did take awhile to come out but that’s understandable. Coffee was refilled fast and our waitress always checked on us which I loved. Bathrooms were also clean which is a huge plus.

    Our waitress was Lisa. She was amazing and so friendly. Very refreshing to have someone so attentive and was very knowledgeable of the offering. We all 4 had different items, and all had desert. Food was top notch amazing. Fresh and very good quality. Pricing is very fair. Even shopped a bit in the general store. Was assisted by Valerie, very polite and friendly. Highly recommend this place to anyone from out of town. We definitely will return when in the area again.

    Breakfast was very delicious! The staff were friendly and helpful. Definitely will be back if we are ever in the area!

  • 3/5 Doc S. 8 months ago on Google
    Food was good--very tasty, but one star off because of the lady at the register. Definitely a rough rider. An old warhorse that's probably been there forever and lost the need to be polite a long time ago, except to certain people. Another star off for a 10% to-go charge, which I most definitely did not appreciate.

    Perfect spot for a bite anytime. If they are busy and there's a wait, it's because the food is that good. Try the breakfast scramble with sausage gravy!! Food is quality for a good price and service was impeccable! Ask for Valerie!

    I ate lunch at Papa’s with a friend earlier this week. Our waitress, Val, was amazing. She was prompt with taking our order, answered our questions, and discussed the Loyalty program which we were in but had forgotten about. She checked in with us during our meal and had such a friendly, happy attitude that we let her know how pleased we were that she was our waitress. I had a bacon, egg and cheese biscuit which was very delicious.

    We found another “go to” restaurant. Portions are good and the food was mostly delicious. Had the fried cod and chicken Parmesan meals. Chicken a little dry/ fried okra a little tough. Other sides great. Homemade yeast rolls. Dessert included. Prices reasonable. Bread pudding especially yummy the hubby thought. Server friendly and patient. We will be back.

    A great little neighborhood breakfast spot. Excellent food, good service, friendly atmosphere. We had a leisurely meal, and discussed our plans for the day over coffee, and never felt rushed in any way. That's nice. I've felt compelled to hurry far too often when others are waiting for a table

    WOW, absolutely the best breakfast I've ever had. It is down home great southern cooking 🍳. I was so full but I couldn't stop eating. I had the country fried steak skillet 🍳 but I also tried the pancakes. I sneak in a touch of vanilla & they are amazing. The food is priced right & the service is prompt & very friendly. I'm glad I don't live here because I would gain so much weight from overeating. Great job everyone 👏

👍👍 We loved everything about this place. The menu is the best I've ever seen and all meals are executed extremely well. We only wish we lived closer. The best in Georgia we've ever had. I will say I don't think the fried ice cream is fried but awesome nonetheless
