Papa Bears Restaurant And Lounge

My dad eats there every Thursday night and he enjoys it. He's never had a bad word to say of it, so I'm saying it must be good too.

We would come more often if more things were available on the menu. We requested multiple things, but all were out. I hope one day they include some of Osos menu to this one. Osos was our go to weekly, sometimes more. Best birria tacos around. And Josh is amazing, and the cook at osos (I forget her name). We heard they might be coming here, so we will start coming here more often when they are working. The red head cook, the last time we came, food was cold and hardly any gravy on the turkey meal I got, and it was not busy. Only us and 3 other people, no reason for cold food.

Service was very very slow. Never got a refill on our waters. Burger was dry and tasteless. 85 dollars for a family of 4, Jack in the box would have been better.

No vegetarian options. Served Kraft mac n cheese. Stopped service breakfast before the time they advertised. Terrible food and racist vibes.

Edit in response to owner’s reply to my review: We were TOLD breakfast was not an option, we were not given the option for breakfast or lunch. It also wouldn’t make sense that breakfast/lunch would be an all or nothing option? Our group was not thrilled to eat burgers for breakfast, but we didn’t want to make a fuss because we understood it was a small staff/kitchen.

In regards to the racist vibes - it’s hard to feel welcome when the entire old, white customer base gawks at my diverse group of friends while we walk in. We didn’t experience overt discrimination from the staff, we understood they were in a tough position and were trying to be accommodating given supply/stock issues. However it is undeniable that this town struggles with racism when Trump flags are flying across the street and another storefront with a “Rural Americans Against Racism” sign has its windows smashed in.

They're out of half of their menu items, serve craft Mac and cheese, the food is dry, the cook is fearful of using condiments and/or seasonings, the poor wait staff have to answer to the customer for the war crimes being committed by the kitchen, and at the end of the meal my pre 9-11 era chair broke from exhaustion. A warning to all who may think about eating here, don't.

When we arrived, there was no server to greet us. There was no cook in the kitchen or bartender behind the bar either. Just a handful of customers staring at us balefully.

We waited for several minutes before the server emerged from the back. She told us to sit wherever we wanted.

We attempted to order a number of things but they were out of many items on the menu. Finally we were able to pick meals that they did have. I ordered a patty melt with a side of tots, but was brought a Reuben sandwich instead. I went ahead and ate it, although I discovered it was burned to a black crisp on the bottom side.

The tots were good though.

We went in there for the first time. The other day and the food was amazing. The second time we came in we had a server who is super sweet the service was great. They’re very kind although the redhead cook needs to lose the attitude and not make dry burgers.

Just like Mama used to make.
