Got a table right away with little crowd. By the time we left it was getting busy. Staff was very friendly and attentive. Menu had a lot of choices and the food was good. It was on the mild (bland?) side. Which could be perfect for many of their customers.

Jun 6, 2026 · Google ReviewI had never been to Papa Joe’s before and honestly had never even heard of it. We had just laid my grandma to rest at the Bushnell National Cemetery, and we were trying last minute to find a place that could accommodate a bigger family party. Someone mentioned Papa Joe’s, and I said, “Let’s try it.” I couldn’t believe how kind and welcoming they were, and how they made room for us on such short notice. The service, the food, and the whole atmosphere were better than I ever expected. One of the main reasons I wanted to write this review is because spaghetti has always been one of my favorite foods, and I’ve always said nobody made spaghetti better than my grandma. In our family, it was almost a challenge to try to outdo her cooking. A couple bites into Papa Joe’s spaghetti, I caught myself smiling for a few minutes and thought, “Grandma, you finally got outdone on your spaghetti sauce.” That says everything. Thank you to the staff for taking care of us on one of the hardest days of our lives. We will definitely be back.
