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!!

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!
