Food was delicious like a homemade meal. The dessert was fresh and amazing. I will definitely be back whenever I’m in the area. Do yourself a favor and get the chicken fried steak it’s the best I’ve ever had.

Pappy makes my belly happy. We were so hungry after visiting Avila Beach. Saw the road sign off the 101 freeway and decided to give it a try. Large portion food. The restaurant was established in 1959. Alyssa our server was friendly and courteous. Lots of truckers and locals eat from the surrounding agriculture community. Food did not disappoint. Unlimited coffee. One free refill hot chocolate. Worth the stop.

If you're looking for a family style restaurant with large portions and good service, Pappy's is the place for you. I ordered the Santa Maria style tri-tip. It came with soup or salad and your choice of 2 sides. My son ordered the chicken mushroom fettuccine (chicken and mushrooms on the side). He had his with the veggie tortilla soup and he ate all of it, which was a win to get him to get his veggies. Great experience overall!

I had the Chili Verde burrito and momma had the breakfast special with eggs, pancakes and bacon 🥓 She really enjoyed her food and there was so much she could not finish it all. The burrito I had was very good and a generous size. We both had diet Coke and our waitress was friendly and attentive. Like everywhere else it was pretty pricey but I would recommend Pappy's.

This place is bomb, huge portions, friendly staff, it gives you that home away from home feeling, they have a little of everything from pot roast, to shrimp, to burritos, and they serve breakfast all day!!! Definitely must try if your in the area, they also have a wall of fame leading to the bathroom, with people like Gene Autry and Ronald Reagan. Come and eat here you won't be disappointed!!! 💜😍

This is a great place to eat! It's got the old country western feel and the waitresses are wonderful. The food was great. I ordered the philly cheese steak and added mushrooms and a side of fresh fruit and it was delicious 😋! My fiance ordered the tri tip with sauteed onions and mushrooms and he loved it. To top it off we had a few Coors light. They have local and domestic beers even mimosas! Semi and RV parking available also. Definitely a place for you to try. While you are there you can check out all the photos of famous people that have eaten there even Ronald Reagan!! Pretty awesome!

I came to this place for a light dinner and was pleasantly surprised. The California burger is very, very tasty — juicy, well-balanced in flavor, and cooked just right. I also tried the wings, which were just as good. I really liked that the spicy sauce is served separately, so you can adjust the heat level exactly the way you prefer. The onion rings were also well done — crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, just the way they should be. However, there are a few things I didn’t like: • The glass cups have chipped edges, and when you drink from them you could easily cut your lips — this is quite concerning and should definitely be addressed. • The waiter kept coming to the table very frequently (almost every 3 minutes), watching us while we were eating and repeatedly asking if we wanted anything else. I understand the intention might be good service or increasing sales, but it felt uncomfortable. • The prices are quite high. For one burger, one portion of wings, onion rings, and two beers, the total was around $70. Overall, the food is good, but the experience and value for money could definitely be improved. Also, regarding cleanliness, a bit more attention should be paid. There is definitely room for improvement in maintaining higher standards. Another thing — if the staff wants to eat a piece of cake or have a snack, that should be done in the kitchen or in their break area, not next to customers. It was quite unpleasant to have a waiter standing on my left side with a plate and a plastic fork, eating and chewing loudly. That was unprofessional and honestly uncomfortable to experience while dining. This would significantly improve the overall atmosphere and customer experience.

I haven't been to Pappy's in awhile but started here about 50 years ago. We ordered breakfast. The scrambled eggs were flat without much texture, no fluffy eggs, the pancake pale looking and thin not much flavor as the previous cooks used to make. Coffee was good, hash browns good. The short order cook needs to be retrained by a real chef... Make Pappy's Great Again!

If you’re looking for burgers and fries or bacon and eggs, the simple basics, then this is a good place. But for the love of god, stay away from the ribs. You won’t be able to chew the disappointment. I wasn’t even able to cut the bones apart with a steak knife. It’s my fault really. I should’ve known that you can’t trust a skill like cooking ribs to a short order grill cook. And believe me, I’m being kind with this review. But absolutely do stop here and eat. Basically a good meal. Just be reasonable with your expectations when you order. It is great as a short order cafe.

The food was not that good nothing to brag but good service and very rustic feel.

Went to pappy's was just so unhappy with our food it was huvevos rancheros and a egg sausage burrito but I order it the grande style suppose to have sauces all over burrito was expecting big portions got less then half portions as if he were eating at the restraint but because my family have been sick with flu so I thought I could order it to go I was on time the food was cold had no taste of Mexican foods I had ever tasted food was cold low portions and the money I spent was 43.00 and I gave a ten dollar tip I believe my total was 53.09 just totally dissatisfied with the food and it would surprise me if I told someone that if anyone really cares the price of food you would think restraints would be more on top of how there cooks and workers are doing but it just seems like no one cares about a family getting the worst meal or an order they didn't order eating out just says you are guaranteed food to eat that's eat and to the people that are preparing your meal they don't care how's it gets to you or anything IAM ready to say no more eating out in fact I think people should go on strike from eating at all restraints for one or two days that might smap them back in for being so greedy and more caring about how theY are and what they are preparing for paying customers
