    Restaurant was really busy, but we got in within minutes of our reservation time. The property does not have enough parking. Its located on a frontage road off the highway, so finding parking is a bit of an issue. We ended up having to park at what we thought was a closed business down the road. When we returned to retrieve our car, there was an automated voice telling us to get off the property. Friends had the same trouble finding parking. The food was excellent (my husband and I shared the ribeye steak, which I give 10/10), and I'd like to go back, but the lack of parking is a real problem.

    The prime rib and filet were very good. The au gratin potatoes were amazing. The soup in the salad bar is homemade and also deserves mention. The best part of course like usual was the friendly and attentive staff.

    Outstanding. Best shrimp in the world. It's pretty special when the batter is so light you actually get a mouthful of shrimp flavor without that oily deep fryer grease slick. The other varieties are fantastic also. We get scampi, BBQ, and Alfredo too.

    We booked Pappys for a birthday celebration, I reminded the waitress and she never then acknowledged it. Waitress was rude, rushed and really did not serve us. She put everything on the end of the table for us to pass out (table of 4 with plenty of space around it) and we stacked our own plates for her at her request. She actually said ‘how’s it hanging?’ Instead of asking if we needed anything. Food was good- but salad bar was a mess with a lot of spills that were not being cleaned up.

    Prime Top Sirloin Steak with homemade Onion Rings was excellent. 4 Berry Bread Pudding and Ice Tea also Excellent. Big Kahuna burger-average. Salad bar-below average. They have way too many menus. There was the regular one. There were the summer specials. There were the weekday specials. All listed the same steak special at 3 different prices, and 1 included a glass of wine, which was never offered. In addition they had a drink menu and a dessert menu. I would order the steak special again and split it with my dining partner, skip the salad bar, order the Au Gratin potatoes because the cheese complemented the steak and then order the Bread Pudding. I would recommend this Restaurant if you want a good steak or as a place for dessert and coffee.

    Good food and good service. Great salad bar. We needed a low table, not a booth, and they made sure we had that.
