Pappy's Place

The fish was delicious and you got a trip to the salad and soup bar. my husband ordered the fries and they were very good and I ordered the tots and they were nice and crispy. I ordered a margarita. It was kind of small, but it was only seven dollars and it was delicious. The prices were. not really expensive, but not cheap. Kinda of in the middle but worth it to us.
The waitress was very friendly and seemed happy to be there but you don't see that all the time.

Not single diner friendly... was told there would be a thirty -40 minute wait and would be better at the bar, yet the groups after me (with no reservations) were seated in less than 10.

Food was ok. Steak was good but the lobster pieces were very tough. Salad bar was much more limited than I had expected.

Service at the bar was SLOW.... with several obnoxious regulars it would seem.

What a wonderful eatery. Great service exceptional food good prices. Has a full service bar great martinis. try it you won't be disappointed.

Came with a group on NYE. Admittedly, the place was packed, even with an early seating.

The not so good: The table was tiny and uncomfortable for a group of 6. The waitress was clearly stressed, though as above this was probably an unusually busy night. Ordered a filet, to be cooked medium- it was almost entirely pink and cool - more rare; disappointing given the $30 price. The au gratin potatoes were disappointing as well- tasted like the canned nacho cheese sauce served with chips at sporting events/movie theaters.

The good: great salad bar, and the chili was delicious. Big bar selection. The walleye was reportedly good, according to one of our table mates.

Stopped in for a quick bite to eat before checking in to our hotel downtown Rochester.The food was meh! The salad bar was equipped with ham and cheese salads,bean soup,bread,cole slaw,spinach and a few other items.Everything just lacked flavor.The bean soup had absolutely no salt.I could go on about how bad it was.

Ordered the turkey,bacon and avocado sandwich half.It was not good.Sloppily made and mushy avocados.

My Pepsi was watered down.

Our server was the only one working and she tried to make in customer service and attitude what they lacked in food flavor.

I'll have to check it out next time I'm coming through to see if it was an off day.

We were in town for a medical appointment and were trying to decide where to eat. We tentatively decided on Pappy's, since that's what our grand-daughter calls my husband, lol! Then when we were in the elevator at our clinic, we overheard the couple next to us say they were eating there because it's so good!
My husband got a taco salad and said it was fair, not fantastic. He will try something else next time.
I got a bleu burger, with coleslaw on the side.
I had the waitress, Tasha, bring the coleslaw first. It was to die for! Some of the best coleslaw I've ever had. Then she brought me a huge Bleu Moon burger slathered with bleu cheese, mushrooms, bacon and crispy onions. One of the best things I ever ate and I devoured the whole darn thing. (I certainly wouldn't eat like that too often, lol.) Tasha brought catsup on the side and I didn't even use it, would have been overkill.
I saw someone sharing a delicious looking dessert of fried cinnamon covered tortillas, topped with cheesecake, chocolate sauce, strawberries and blueberries, and whipped cream. (See photo.)
Tasha was a wonderful server, very friendly and prompt.
I hope to go back some time. I only wish they were closer to our town!

Hands down the best place in Rochester to watch the Vikings!! $25 all you can drink Bud Light, well-stocked Bloody bar, BOGO 1/2 apps during the game, raffle tickets with every purchase for the halftime drawings PLUS entries for a free jersey given away EVERY game!! Oh, and free purple shots when we score. It's a sea of purple, excited crowd, lots of friendly banter and cheering - SO MUCH FUN! Definitely try the walleye fingers, the Pappy's nachos made with their homemade chips, and the jalapeño popper stuffed wontons. The staff is awesome - and the service during the games is fantastic - our beers are never empty!

Great nachos fun place to watch the games.

Food is great! Waitress's and waiter are very personable. Sheila is wonderful! Definitely one of my favorite places in Rochester!

Every town needs a restaurant like Pappy's. Electricians Service trucks outside tell you you're gonna get a good meal value while supporting an independent restaurant. The service was prompt and courteous. I had the French dip sandwich. Very tasty.
