I was looking for a place to stop and get a great meal on our trip. Â Saw the reviews for Papa's Grill and decided to I've it a try. Â The proximity to the interstate was a plus. Â The food was good. Â We all enjoyed our dinners. Â My wife raved about the split pea soup. I had the bison burger which I have to say I have had better but it was still good. Â The staff was very good. Â We were seated and served promptly and everyone seemed to enjoy their work. Â I'd say give this place a try if you get the chance.
Review Source:I might have given it a 3&1/2 if that was possible, but I bumped it up b/x everyone else really enjoyed their meal. Mine was fair.
The restaurant was very clean & service was excellent. My husband enjoyed his Reuben and the kids liked their burgers & popcorn shrimp. I tried the Chicken Fajita Pita. It was not bad, but could have been more flavorful and more full of chicken & veggies. I was expecting the filling to be large chunks of chicken like you might get in a fajita, but everything was finally chopped. The bread:filler ratio was just a bit off.
The onion rings were tasty, but needed salt. We also enjoyed the fried pickles, but I think I might prefer fried pickle chips to spears. The kids thought the french fries were "awesome".
The servings were generous and I as I was watching the other customer's plates be delivered, I noticed everything looked like a good size portion and was plated nicely. I just wish my dish had a little more flavor. If we are driving down I-65 near Columbus at mealtime, we would definitely give this place a try again. Next time I will ask the waiter what the most popular dishes are.
I went to PaPa's via Yelp. I was passing thru Columbus at lunch time and found this place. I was seated right away and the hostess was very friendly. My waitress was helpful and knowledgable of their menu. My food arrived, bison burger and fries, and was very tasty, no complaints. My glass of water was always full as she checked on me almost too much. Overall I woould say that PaPa's is a good place to eat and I would go back.
Review Source:I had to laugh walking into this place: another review on Yelp describes it as an Applebees without the cheesy junk nailed to the wall. That about captures it. Aside from the benign interior decorating, Papa's Grill didn't disappoint. I ordered a Bison Burger and my wife the fish sandwich. Both came with fries--exactly the right sort of fries. Crispy, perfectly browned, and delicious.
The Bison Burger was cooked to perfection. I enjoyed the thickness and the flavor profile of the bacon combined with the bison (which if you've never had it, is like lean beef with a bit more of a 'wild' flavor--like very good "corn fed" venison). I tried my wife's fish and it was also very well prepared and tasty (some sort of innocuous white fish. Might have been pollock. Definitely not cod).
This place also has some nice(r) beers on tap including Shiner Bock and seasonal Belgian ales. I'm not a huge Fat Tire guy, but many seem to love it--they have that on tap as well.
Our server greeted us with a smile, cracked a few jokes, and generally made us feel comfortable as we enjoyed our meal.
Bottom line: This place is a good value and has good food. If they spiced up the interior a bit, they'd really rock.
Personally, I think this is one of the best places in Columbus to eat dinner. Â The wait staff when I have been is always extremely friendly and helpful, and they check on you regularly. Â The food is excellent, especially the fries. Â These are probably my all-time favorite french fries. Â My favorite meal is the Bison Burger and fries, although the menu is full of excellent choices.
Review Source:Rolled into Papa's on a hint from a local coworker.
Liz and I immediately were seated in a bright and clean dining room and enjoyed the Shiner bock draft almost immediately.
Great slection of draft beers, as well as a private bar area seemed a respectable layout for a small family owned joint in a strip mall.
Nice solid menu offered many options and we chose a few favorites, to be surprised by the speed and plating.
While the tab for two meals and four beers was a bit pricey, we will return.
Went with coworkers and we were all very pleased with our meals. I had tomato soup with grilled cheese dippers-it really hit my spot! The grilled cheese was perfectly cooked and gooey, then cut up into strips to be dipped in the soup. It was like a grown up kids meal. We also shared fried mushrooms (straight out of the bag from Sysco), someone had a salad, and 2 people had burgers. The burgers were all good-bison and cow are both available. The salad appeared very fresh and colorful. Not a lot of "healthy" items on the menu, but if you read the menu carefully and ask them to leave certain things off or on the side, you can definitely modify to suit your needs. Cute little spot right off I-65.
Review Source:I have to disagree with the previous reviews - I ordered a salad, in a vane attempt to eat healthy. Â My salad was covered in 'Onion straws' which are broken onion rings and the thinnest breaded piece of chicken I ever saw. Â I suppose I was expecting grilled chicken, but the chicken was so thin, I couldn't scrape the breading off before I broke through the other side. Â The piles of bacon bits were good, but didn't help my attempt to eat healthy. Â Anyway, all in all, not what I was expecting, the service was slow and was checked on once in 30 minutes. Â I'll go somewhere else if I'm back in the area.
Review Source:Nothing like a chilly fall evening in the Midwest to make me want to hunker down for the night with a big slab of meat squeezed between a pair of buns.
I ordered up my Diablo burger ($7.95) ready to get down to business... a beef patty laced with jalapeno jack, jalapenos and hot wing sauce.
After an eternity waiting - and I'm not being sarcatic... it took forever for our order to arrive - my medium rare burger arrived somewhat cool and on the well done side of medium rare. Clearly the kitchen and the front of the house have some coodination issues to work out. But back to the burger...
Ignoring the aforementioned issues, the burger was greasy tasty good. As if sliced jalapenos weren't good enough, the good folks in the kitchen decided a quick trip through the deep fryer was in order for our little peppers. Deep fried spicy nuggets of love I tell ya. Overall, an ok burger. Lots of room for improvement but leaps ahead of the nearby White Castle.
Service was slow, borderline none existant. My mom always said if you don't have anything nice to say...
The wrap up on this one? Better than a stick in the eye and a belly full of dirt.
This is a good solid family run restaurant with a good wait staff, decent food, and a full bar with daily beer specials. Â As a plus, they have a daily special before 6:30 PM of all appetizers at a significantly reduced price. Â The menu is small, but I've never been disappointed with anything I've ordered. Â There are multiple large screen TVs that have most NFL games on Sunday. Â Good solid place. Â Nothing fancy, but solid.
Review Source:I love this place. Every time I go home to Columbus, I make a trip here. The wraps are amazing as well as the chicken salad sandwich and the french fries are to die for! They also have burgers and other sandwiches.
The servers are always friendly and the service is prompt! Â
The restaurant is always clean and when it is warm outside the outside dining is great!
Would definately recommend this place for anyone!
