    The food is really good, portions are huge. The young lady that was serving our food was rude. Guess she does not like her job

    Love this place however, I do wish that when they repeat your order- the order is actually correct when you get home. Also, the temperature of the food is lukewarm most of the time. Outside of that no other issues.

    Wow! A wonderful Christmas experience. Had a problem with my holiday order that required a second trip back to the store on Christmas Eve day, but managers Chris and Emerson, and staff Sonia made it right. Their attitudes were so friendly and cheerful, even though they were extremely busy. And the turkey breast we ordered was absolutely delicious. Juicy and flavorful. On a day that was very busy for me personally with lots that went wrong (not just at Pappas), their smiles and helpfulness made all the difference.

    Easy ordering and pickup. Wish there was more options to customize large orders. Brisket, sausage and mac & cheese were delicious. Our office enjoyed our lunch.
