Great dinner. Best steamed crabs I’ve had in a long time! It was a Friday night and there was live music that was playing. Good service!

We always enjoy Pappas! The food, the service and the ambiance is great! We especially love their steamed mussels in red wine sauce and their crab imperial!

I needed a lunch spot with a variety of foods and ample parking for friends who were recovering from surgeries. This was a great location. The server was attentive. The crab and lobster dip was okay but the lunches we ordered were excellent. No complaints from anyone in our party. The only suggestion I have is to include the prices for all of the cocktails.

The food was very good although they messed up an order. The service was poor. The server was not attentive. We had to ask for water several times and waited over 1 hour for food.
