I ordered a med-rare Swiss cheeseburger and fries. My date ordered Beer battered Fish Fry. Now usually when we go out I leave bout 1/4 of whatever on plate. When I tell you this burger was huge and fresh when it arrived!! I put just lil ketchup for wetness that really wasn’t needed! I ate the whole burger!! And all but maybe 4 fries! I had to unbutton it that tells ya!! I wasn’t fan of coleslaw, but it was late and they’d been busy all day. I went about 615. They close at 7. I was def impressed tho! I will be back!!

I was really disappointed. The dutchess potatoes were made with instant mashed. The Crab stuffed haddock was made with imitation red and white crab . The peach cobbler was more like a heavy sugary pudding. The ladies were awesome and the place was very clean.

We went for the first time in a bit to Big Papa's and everything was even better than ever before!! We got chicken and biscuits, a kids chicken tenders meal with fries and a kids cheeseburger with fries. Everything was seriously perfect and so delicious. For a family of 5 we got out of there for under $75, too! That's unheard of these days!! Highly recommend!

Got fish fry, which was absolutely awesome. Also got few different burgers for rest of the family and they were absolutely amazing. Even the kids loved everything they had. As far as fish and burgers go, this is the best place anywhere near. I have not tried other foods, but have no reason to expect anything different. Highly recommended.
