The service and food are top-notch. The atmosphere is rustic and peaceful. I simply love eating at Papa Daddy's Their grilled chicken sandwich and deep-fried mushrooms with ranch-style dressing are simply delicious.

Three of us dined here for the first time. All three meals were not good at all. Leftovers were brought home and tossed as we just couldn’t. Service was so slow and not a smile or greeting from any of the servers. I have no idea how they have good reviews. Don’t waste your money.

Genuinely great place to eat. Delicious country cooking, Americana done right. Burgers were big and juicy, fried green tomatoes were well coated and crispy, apple pie comes by the pound, you get a slice of apple pie and it'll fill up a standard dinner plate, and its goood apple pie too. Everything was cooked fresh. The atmosphere is endearing, its not fancy by any means, but you can feel the history in there. Lots of family memories, lots of patriotism too, never seen so much pro-military, pro-Christian stuff in a restaurant before. It felt like if one of my cousins owned a diner or something, its definitely a place youd find in Mercer. Service was great, we had reservations for a family gathering, had the whole place to ourselves. A tad slow, could chalk it up to prep time and personal business for the owner, but they did seem just a bit underprepared for all of us. Wait tine wasnt the worst though. I think a little bit more staff might help, maybe the young man who took our order could find a nice girl to date, bring her in for labor😅. All in all, great spot, lotta history, if youre on a road trip and find yourself in donwtown Mercer, stop by and get your belly full, wont regret it.

My wife and I went to Papa Daddy’s for the first time recently. This restaurant is awesome. The food is exceptional. We had the absolute best country fried steak ever with vegetables that were home cooked like my mom use to make. It’s worth the drive. Located in Mercer, TN. About 25 minutes outside of Jackson.

I was really hoping for an amazing spot. I was so excited to eat here. A little hole in the wall place in a small town. Boy, was I let down. We did go with a party. A party they said they had no problem handling. It was 35 people. Waitress was quick to greet us and get our drink orders as we filtered in. That was great. Then came time to order food. Specials were written on a piece of paper, but with no details on it. Very limited options, but that's fine. We were the first to order. Got the chicken a safe options in my opinion. My husband got the hamburger steak. Mil and fil got the bbq plate. Fast forward a hour, no food in sight. The waitress comes out and ask who had collard greens because they were out. Okay, no big deal. We had a big party. A hour and 30 minutes later, food comes pouring out. Everyone is getting their food. By this point, I'm straving. My husband gets his hamburger steak. And I knew from the look of his mine was gonna be horrible. His hamburger steak was burnt black. He literally squirted half the thang of ketsup on it and just ate it. It was so dry that he could barely swallow it. He was straving and didn't wanna wait any linger for food. My food still hasn't come out. Everyone else has theirs. I asked the waitress when mine and my daughters were coming. She said they were finishing jt up. Okay, no biggie, I wait. 15 minutes later, she brings my daughters food. And it's freaking cold. I then get mine. It's cold. No warmth to it at all. As I'm looking at my food the it does not look good. My potatoes and onions didn't look like potatoes and onions. Everyone at the table thought they were mushrooms. The mac and cheese tasted like a tv dinner mac and cheese. I nicely ask the waitress to just take it back and just take it off the bill. My daughter asked if they had a microwave and to just heat it up. They did. Her food was gone 10 minutes and wasn't hot when they brought it back. She ate hers because she was hungry. When I asked for bread for our table after she had given it to all the others, she huffed at me. The rolls, which was gonna be my supper, was so dry you couldn't swallow without taking a drink. This place can not handle parties of people. The food was horrible. Oh, and the water and tea tasted like metal. And not just a little. Like you had metal in the bottom of your cup. Everyone at my table could taste it. I get it old building and all, but it may be time for some new pipes. I do not recommend the bbq plate. Hamburger steak, potatoes and onions, Monterey chicken, mac and cheese, fries, rolls, tea, or water.

Charming old building in the middle of nowhere with pretty good steaks. Clean atmosphere, nice staff and a talented muralist dd the walls. Worth taking a first date for a pleasant outing.
