    Once again order $50 worth of bar b q and get a half assed order. There’s literally no reason for it other than laziness, I’ve given this place so many opportunities but I guess I’ll be going to the mom and pop place up the road, bigger portions lower prices and the smoke flavor is actually there. Really sucks cause I grew up on Papas but it’s just not the same anymore

    Curbside Order didn't go through on their end however my bank was charged twice. I wasn't informed my order didn't go through until I had arrived to pick up an order I had placed and scheduled almost 2 hours before.
