  James G is correct... the food is sub-par here. Go around the corner and get the 9-Iron sandwich from Leghorn's.

  I'm going to have to agree with the previous Yelper on Pappy's. Definitely sub par comparing to the other owner's restaurants. Pappy's has now been open for several months yet the food is average at best and the staff still appears inexperienced/slow.
  
  From a strictly dining experience, I would certainly suggest another option in the area such as Leghorn's. However, if you are looking for a place to gather as a group and watch some football, their back area is is very accommodating and atmosphere is solid. Grab a power tower for the table with your favorite beer and order some appetizers. This is something I have yet to see in other establishments in the are which I really like. Basically it's like having your own tap on the table that holds around 10 beers. Helps if the service is slow because you are essentially serving yourself!
  
  3 stars because although the food is limited in option and service is below average (my experience), I like hanging out in the back with my favorite sports program with a large group, enjoying beer from my personal tap without a lot of interruption.

  My family had dinner at Pappy's Grill. We loved everything about this new restaurant! Food was great and the service was impeccable! Our server's name was Morgan. She was sweet and kind and very service oriented. We will always request her when we return and we will be back. Great having a new restaurant in the area!

  Pleasant atmosphere, mediocre everything else.
  
  I just got back from lunch at Pappy's Grill with my co-workers.  We were pleasantly surprised when we walked in and liked the overall look and feel of the place.  The menu has a nice selection of food and we were excited to try some of the dishes.  That's where the experience started its downhill slide.  
  
  One co-worker asked about the soup of the day.  The response?  "We don't have any yet.  We've only been open three days and it hasn't arrived on the truck yet."  The soup is coming in on a truck?  Not promising.
  
  The food took quite a while to come out and we admired what looked like quite tasty food as other patrons were served.  We got our hopes up, but they were quickly dashed when the food arrived.
  
  A couple of us tried the Blackened Mahi Reuben.  It sounded a little strange, but just possibly good.  The waitress raved about it and said everyone has loved it.  The fish was overcooked, not blackened, and drenched in some sauce that made the toasted rye quite soggy.  
  
  The french fries were clearly from the freezer section of the local discount market.
  
  One person tried the Zingers with a mango habanero sauce on the side.  The only possible explanation for the sauce was that the cook didn't know what mangoes or habaneros were and assumed they were butter and mustard.  Absolutely no hint of mango or habanero and no spice.  He requested a second side of mango habanero just to compare them, but it never made it to our table.  When he asked about the second sauce he requested, the waitress responded, "This was the right sauce.  I ordered it."  She never acknowledged that she forgot to bring out the sauce.
  
  Thankfully, I paid with cash.  One of the guys paid with a credit card and was accidentally charged the wrong amount.  When the waitress came back, she tried to cover it up by saying she had accidentally deleted the transaction and would need to rerun his card.  Thankfully he was able to point out the mistake and they were able to remove the charge after a quite painful five to ten minutes watching them sweat at the cash register.
  
  Now I'm sitting at my desk writing a review while my stomach is rumbling.  Maybe ordering Mahi in the Midwest is not the smartest move...
  
  Will I be back?  I'll probably give them a chance.  The burgers looked excellent and I would expect them to compare to the ones at the owner's other restaurants (The Grill on 21st and The Chop House).  But for now, they have only earned two stars.
