Every year Pappas has their traditional Thanksgiving dinner for a very reasonable price. Cream of turkey soup, turkey white and dark meat, absolutely delicious stuffing, mashed potatoes with gravy, delicious green beans that would qualify as haricot verts and cranberry sauce (not the jellied type) and a delicious slice of apple or pumpkin pie. Wonderful meal known by many which accounts for the waiting line of people not having a reservation wanting to get a seat. As for service quality, Deanna was EXCELLENT.....very attentive and friendly without any loss of professionalism. She could compete with Boris, our favorite server. To complement the meal, they still carried my favorite wine, Lago Vino Vert, a Portuguese white which is light and lower in alcohol than most other white wines. If I had to offer a criticism, I'd say the plates, although large, were a bit small given the amount of food placed on them. Advice....wear stretch pants.

Food is fantastic. We come back each trip to Towson for the crab cakes and outstanding vegetable selections. The staff is excellent. Can be a bit noisy if parties are underway but that’s normal.
