    Worst potato I ever had! Just disgusting and disappointing. They only give you a tiny bit of brisket for damn near $20, the least they could do is give you pieces that don’t have fat on it. The sauce tastes rotten, the potato lacks of flavor, I’m pissed. Makes no sense. I ate what I could, but threw most of it away.

    I went through the drive through and my order was messed up, a little confusion at the window but once I went into the store Sarah really, really made me feel welcomed and appreciated. Almost gave up on Pappa's but again Sarah was the saving grace for me. Way to go Sarah!!! and Great job Pappa's for hiring her.

    We have been going to Pappas for a long time. Over the years we have gradually watched both the quantity of goods and service change. Today was the marking point of something disappointing in both that quantity and service. I spent $86 on 2lb of chopped beef, a 1/2 lb of smoked turkey and a 1/2 pound of smoked sausage. Before ordering I confirmed whether or not I would get a loaf of bread--because here lately despite ordering enough food for 6 people I get 4 pieces of bread if I'm lucky (gone are the days where ordering 2lbs of anything was enough to justify a loaf). She told me yeah. We waited, we got our food but I don't see a loaf or my condiments. She assures me the bread and condiments are in the bag. I pull everything out and I was given six slices of bread in a container and all my peppers, onions, and pickles were shoved in a single small container. When I asked her where is my loaf she said I actually needed to spend a $100 to get a loaf of bread and proper condiments. I'm at a loss. The food was delicious but the service and add ons are sorely lacking. Had to use my own pickles and onions and buy a loaf to entertain my guests. Won't be back Pappas.
