Pappy's Cafe & Tavern - Andover

Service and food are solid! Prices are not bad either. We were seated immediately and didn't wait long for our breakfast. Never saw the bottom of our coffee cups and enjoyed seeing the old timers that return with their business. Thank you for the delightful and quick meal!

Pros: the food was quick and edibleCons: food quality and pricing Head this warning: do not order the "fruit cup" it is $4 for a packaged Dole tropical fruit cup, not even fresh fruit. Did these store bought fruit cups travel from across country to qualify that pricing? Because that's what it felt like. If we weren't so hungry we would've sent them back because that pricing is diabolical To top it off, our steak was dry & the hollandaise sauce was split.Fairly positive the older locals in the area are the only thing keeping this business alive because the food was NOT worth the pricing.Was looking for plain old breakfast food with fair pricing and this was simply a disappointment. :(

Good food, good service, and good prices for a small time café. We stopped in after we got a coupon in the mail. The chicken alfredo was really tasty, although the garlic toast that came with it was just regular buttered toast. My husband had the ham steak dinner and he enjoyed everything but his roll. He stated it was too hard to even eat, like day old or something. Our server, Jennifer, was trying to run around the entire restaurant by herself, which is great that they're that busy midweek but she seemed a little overwhelmed. Not her fault at all, just crazy busy. We'll definitely be back, and I would like to try them for breakfast too.

We drive by this place all the time and noticed it's always busy so when we had a day we wanted to get breakfast out we stopped by. We were lucky to be seated pretty quickly and our waitress came over immediately to get our drink order. Since it was our first time there we needed a few minutes to look over the menu. Our waitress was very efficient covering the whole area. The food was fast and well cooked. I had an omelette my husband had eggs over easy. The hash browns and toast were both good. People were coming and going the whole time we were there around 8:30 am on a Friday. There are old pictures of the area and people on the walls. Tables were cleaned as people left. The only problem was the normal entrance wasn't open and everyone was going to that door first.

Pappy's is a well established breakfast cafe with what I would call a dive bar attached. While I have heard rave reviews about the cafe side of things and the breakfast fare, this particular visit and review was in the tavern side. A no thrills, low lit space with your typical cheap seating, pull tabs, and regulars belly up. The bartender was attentive, greatly me as soon as I walked in, immediately asking my drink order. She bantered with the regulars during my entire visit (or was on her phone) but that didn't seem to interrupt her service. I ordered the "Sunrise Burger" which was highlighted on the menu as though it was a specialty. It was just okay. Burger wasn't seasoned but was cooked well. I enjoyed the hash browns on the burger with the charring around the edges adding some crunch. Bacon was cooked perfect as was the egg. Cheese could have been more melty. All and all a pretty standard bar burger. Probably won't be back for a burger anytime soon but definitely want to get back for breakfast.

Large menu selections for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Frequented by many seniors with a Senior Menu option. Priced for seniors. Good service. It is located in a plaza with varied businesses. Grocery store nearby.

A very solid little breakfast spot that is reminiscent of a traditional old-school diner.They had an expansive menu and some of the standouts were the gyros skillet and sausage patties. Both were excellent, and the skillet even a bit unique. The portions are very good for the price, especially on the children's options!To top it all off, service was definitely above average. It may not knock your socks off, but for a solid, casual breakfast with all the standards... this certainly fits the bill.

Our group of some 20 retired medics come once a month and have the best service and food anywhere!

Service was terrible. Fish was greasy tasted old and very fishy taste. The waitress did not care when I told her it didn't taste right. finally asked for another piece and that one was under done. Yikes! Angela you could have just said sorry I would have not been upset and a smile goes a long way,

Fried mushrooms were too bready and tasted funny. Waffle fries were way too salty! Under impressed
