The staff is the best accommodating people. We had Kayla, today as our waitress she was very accommodating in every way very kind and precessional Pappa Joes is one of the best places in town. They send out different coupons and percentages off, which makes you appreciate them even more.

Ordered lasagna, pork chops, cheeses sticks and Arancini balls. The pork chops nice and tender. All the food was excellent, but the double baked potato a little dry. All in all food was delicious and prepared on time.

The kids and I really enjoy going here to dine inn. Bonus for us they have glutenfree options on pizza and pasta! The last time I was here, I had ordered a salad. The salad was enough for 3 servings and delicious. They have different drink specials on different days, i couldnt pass up a 5 frozen margarita! Always had friendly service.

I smelled their food while at the post office next door and instantly put it on my list to try. Everything was fantastic! And homemade! We had the chicken Parmesan sandwich, chicken Americano sandwich and lasagna. Two of the three meals had enough food for leftovers. Our server was also great! I will definitely be returning.
