Pappy's is a great little hole in the wall with Gyros, Phillys, Burgers, Wings, and Fish. I can personally vouch for the utter deliciousness of the Gyros and Burgers. And fries; BEST FRENCH FRIES EVER! Seriously. I will come here just for the fries. The atmosphere is small, Chicago gyro joint. The prices are very reasonable for what you get.
(4)James P.
I was here a couple of weeks ago and was impressed despite the less than desirable location. I got a buffalo chicken philly which was actually quite good. The restaurant is counter service style, but you have no real need for anything else from them once you get your food. We noticed that there is not a whole lot of people sitting and eating, but there is definitely ample seating. Do not be driven away by the location and some of the clientele. The food is very good and if you are looking for a good philly sandwich, this is a place to go!
(3)Jake W.
Food was good if you like it fried. The Philly sandwich was very tasty and big. Good friendly place.
(4)Eric B.
Food took 25 minutes to get to table. Upon getting food I had some jalapeño poppers a cheddar beef sandwich and shared some wings and fries. Only had one buffalo wings. The food was mediocre at best the jalapeño poppers we're very plain flavored had very little taste and the same with my sandwich. a bad part of town upon leaving during mid daylight I was offered some by a hooker. Definitely won't be returning.
(2)Ron F.
I have been going to Pappy's since they opened on Maryland and White Bear. The original Pappy's used to be "Cedar Machine", and the only thing that could be better than kick ass racing engines, is amazing Chicago Style food! It actually makes guys having to drive 60 miles, to where the engine shop relocated, a total worthwhile trade! The Washington Ave. location is no different, having excellent food and service. That said, everyone has their favorite place for that one favorite dish, and Pappy's is no exception. I know guys who come from 60 miles just to get "their Philly". I, personally, love the Philly/gyro mix. The sandwich is ridiculously good. Order extra dill sauce, because it's so big! I've tried almost everything, the fish, the Maxwelll, and all the different dogs, and I'm always delighted. I've watched Pappy's become instant cult classics and I hope they open more locations further north! (Hint, hint Alex!) As far as folks who have had a less than exceptional experience, if you're not 100% satisfied with something, don't hesitate to let them know! They will fix you right up on the spot. I'm always a little amazed when I read a poor review, yet the author did not make an attempt at letting the restaurant make things right. Pappy's, your mom said to skip the wimpy sub and get yourself some real food!
(5)Michael S.
I really enjoy Pappy's! Yet, I am going to say again, they do not open when their sign says they open. I decided to try, once again, breakfast. I was going to consider my breakfast brunch. I arrived at Pappy's about 0945 and they, once again, were not open. I must think... maybe they don't need my business nor have respect for their customers!!!
(4)Mandee H.
Amazing. The Philly cheese steaks are phenomenal! And this is from someone who grew up in PA in the Philadelphia area.
(5)Jeffrey B.
As a person who was born and raised in Chicago, I can attest that Pappy's is the real thing. I have had their Maxwell Street Polish and it was as if I was back in the Windy City. The Chicago Dogs are also true to form. They even have the Chicago staple of "Pizza Puff". It is hard to try new things because these old standards are just so good. The only downside is the parking. I would suggest you skip the lot, as you may never get back out on Broadway and park on Washington and walk around.
(4)Dr O.
Drunk food - deep fried sides, hot sandwiches, hot dogs, fried fish, and gyros. The cheesesteak, fries, hush puppies, and hot dog were all good. Lots of season salt on everything. I got a "mafia steak sandwich" or something like that was a sandwich with thin steak, onions, peppers, and lots of melted cheese. It was good, but part of the steak was a bit fatty and hard to chew through. Skip it and go for the cheesesteak. We also got the cheese wedges because I thought they were cheese curd. Oh, no. They were fried mac and cheese. Sober Dr O thought they were very good. Drunk Dr O would probably get 3 orders. My biggest complaint is that there's too much stuff on the menu. They could probably remove their 10 worst items and still have a lot of variety.
(4)Reeree P.
They have really good chicken wings not salty like other places just a really good taste. The place is very clean but they messed up my order and were not willing to fix it after there mistake so check you food before you leave otherwise yummy food.
(4)Jeff M.
The cheesesteaks and wedges here are great, but it takes 15 minutes on an average night for the order to be made and you have to wait in a sketchy, dirty restaurant. Maybe if they had the budget for more than one cook and someone to keep the place clean I'd be more apt to return in the future.
(3)Susan I.
Wonderful, just like home (Chicago). Italian beef is just what it should be, greek omlette was great. Go here now.
(5)Trisha S.
Yummm...... tasty wings and fries, can't wait to try the other items on the menu. It's clean and have good seating. The workers were pleasant as well. Looks like this business will be around for a while :)
(4)Yo G.
I haven't had a satisfying cheesesteak since I moved to MN and I finally drove the 10 miles from the West Metro to try Pappy's. What a great decision! This was exactly what I have been craving and the pricing was also great. $7.49 for a stuffed 6" sandwich, a large helping of delicious fries and a 20oz soda. The onions and peppers are not premixed (Jersey Mikes), so if you want an onion mushroom cheesesteak, that is exactly what you get (which is what I got). The place is as no frills as it comes and not much seating, so you have to time things right or be prepared to take your food somewhere else. And as far as "somewhere else," I should mention that the neighborhood is a bit sketchy. Not so bad that you do not feel safe, but no place immediately around to take your sandwich unless you worked in the area. But overall, if you are looking for a quality cheese steak in Minneapolis, this is the place!
(5)Luann L.
Awesome food!!!!! Lots of choices. Have to come back and try more. The rest of my group love their choices also
(5)Amanda W.
Pappys is the place to go when you want your fill of greasy goodness. Their menu consists of gyros, fried chicken/wings, cheese curds, cheese steaks, and chicago-style dogs. Seriously delicious. My coworker and I came here yesterday after months of driving by here, and I'm awfully glad we did. The interior is very clean, but small. They have a pretty large menu, but we ended up both ordering the #5, which is two Chicago dogs, fries, and a pop for $5.99. The hot dogs were plump and juicy, and I loved their fries. They were obviously right out of the fryer and had some seasoning salt on them, and were made more delicious by the mysterious hot sauce on the table. This made for a very quick and tasty lunch spot...they had something called a gyro burger that I made a note to try next time, as well as these cheese wedges that the guy at the counter said were wedges of fried mac n' cheese. What a treat. Note: When we went, they had a board outside announcing a special that said 'Any omelet w/ hash browns $2.99.' They have gyro omelet that sounds really tasty, so I definitely want to hit that during breakfast. Actually, I peeked at their breakfast menu and the whole thing sounds like an excellent value. They also have other specials that seem to rotate, so I think it just depends on the day.
(4)Carie P.
You must try Pappy's!!!! My boyfriend and I discovered this gem a couple of weeks ago and we've Ordered it 3 times since then. The gyros are amazing and the Philly cheesesteak is insane! I've never even really been a huge fan of Philly cheesesteaks but Pappy's is a life changer!
(5)Sonja D.
I went to Pappy's for the first time a couple weeks ago - and I'm glad I did! I've driven by quite a few times and have always been interested, but it's not really in a part of town that I frequent. But, it is just right down broadway so, what the heck? The parking lot is small and we had to park on the street a little ways away, but for Friday around noon I wouldn't expect much. The line inside was about 4 people long when we got in so we waited for maybe less than 10 minutes to get through, but it gave us a chance to look at the menu. Luke decided on the buffalo chicken philly combo and I got the regular cheesesteak philly combo with hot peppers. After ordering, we waited (sort of awkwardly) around for maybe 10 minutes but the order came up hot, fresh, and a pretty good portion! Luckily, a table opened up right as we were about to get our food. We were going to opt to eat in the car, but the sandwiches were so hot - heat hot - and messy that you sort of need a table or bench to rest your food on. The menu has a large variety of items none of which are healthy options and I wouldn't expect anything less. The only reason I didn't give Pappy's 5 stars is the parking lot is small, and the interior needs a little remodeling. It would make sense to have a more cafeteria style eating area with a couple of booths for families. It seems like this place is frequented by singles and when busy the seats will fill up fast because it's mostly booths. Overall, the food was delicious, almost TOO hot but we were in a hurry so we shoved it in and didn't let it cool, and I'm excited to go back.
(4)Derick T.
Listen, I'm no Chicagoan, so I cannot attest to whether or not their food is genuinely Chicago-style. What I can tell you is that these guys know how to throw together a damn good sandwich. Before today, I had eaten here a couple of times, both times ordering the same thing: Italian Beef Sandwich, dipped, hot peppers, American cheese. That is, until today. Today I got a little funky and got the Italian Combination, with everything else the same. KA-BOOM. Oh, so tasty. Savory beef and sausage, gooey cheese, pickley-hot peppers and soggy bread... Not a bad way to spend a lunch break. I might spend the rest of the afternoon slumped over in a food-coma, but I really don't give a hoot. My Tips: -Go for the Italian Beef or Italian Combination (Beef + Sausage) -GET IT DIPPED! -Don't expect to have clean hands. -Set aside the rest of your day to lay around in sweatpants
(5)Amanda H.
I hate the mess of cooking fried chicken at home, but sometimes fried chicken just sounds So good. And usually it's the dives that cater to the most discriminating fried chicken tastes. Pappy's wasn't terribly "divey" though. I definitely thought we'd have to go deeper into what some folks call "the ghetto" for this caliber stuff. Small wings, but crispy fried, well-seasoned, and served up hot and copious with fries. Tried two sides - the okra and the hush puppies because, yeah, I was hungry. And yeah, when I go for the deep fryer, the proverbial gloves come off (so I can feel the grease). But it's worth noting that the grease really wasn't overwhelming. a huge plus. Both sides were totally worth the caloric overkill. Only thing that disappointed were the unremarkable sauces. Taken to go, though, the BBQ and hot sauces I had at home did the trick.
(4)Colin D.
Well there goes the diet. Having a place serving a very good Italian beef and sausage combo near where I live is not doing any good for my waistline. They dip it and serve it with hot peppers just like in Chicago. The chicken wings are good too, nicely fried without being greasy. Very clean inside. My only complaint is the AC which wasn't working well in the 100 degree heat.
(4)John H.
The May 22 tornado in North Minneapolis has shut down Fire 'n Ice (temporarily, I hope), so I was in search of another local cheese-steak. I have gone by Pappy's several times and watched the progress as they turned this rundown building that formerly hosted a Liquor store into Pappy's. When I saw they opened, I made a mental note to check it out. The parking lot is super small, room for seven cars. There is parking on Washington for about four cars on the street, unless you want to go for a bit of a walk. This is a super busy intersection at Broadway and Washington, with lots of traffic from vehicles entering or exiting I-94. The interior appears to be able to hold quite a few people. Not too cramped booths fill the interior and is probably a favorite among the lunchtime crowd in this predominately industrial area. I ordered my food and was offered the option to add tomatoes, lettuce and mayo for an additional $1,25. What? Ruin a good cheese-steak? NO WAY! My order was up in about 5 minutes. The 6" cheese-steak was huge, I couldn't even pick it up without risk of dumping out the filling. The bun was a standard sub roll, nothing special. The steak, grilled with green peppers and onions had a thin amount of provolone on the bottom. The taste was good, but I prefer more cheese on my roll. The bread stayed dry, which I don't know that it is a bad sign, but I almost think that one of the best parts of a good cheese-steak is that the juices get sopped up into the bread. Ultimately, it was a really good sandwich. Next time I will need to ask for extra cheese. FYI: Other menu items include chicken wings, fish, Italian Beef sandwich, hot dogs, gyros.
(4)Paul C.
Very clean! I stopped into this place as I was biking by the other day. It reminded me a lot of places I'd eat with my dad growing up. I ordered a Chicago style hot dog and cheese curds. GOOD eating! I am planning on going back and bringing my dad this time. I want to try their chicken wings and a few other things on the menu. The space itself is nice, clean atmosphere. Nice set up. It feels very newly decorated and fun.
(4)Gordon S.
We've eaten here several times now. It's reasonably priced, and the service is quite a bit better than similar joints nearby. There's often a special which is ten whole wings plus fries for $6.99, and the wings are pretty good. The fries are dusted with Season-All, which gives them a nice flavor. The ribeye steak is actually two thin seasoned slices of steak. The flavor was okay, and it was reasonable for the price. The fried okra is so-so, but we like the jalapeno poppers--be sure to ask for blue cheese dressing instead of marinara. If you get takeout, be sure to grab napkins and forks from the supply near the drinks fountain, and they won't add anything in the way of condiments if you don't ask. Update: We've now had the Italian beef sandwich, which is available in several styles. The beef was juicy and very flavorful. It was served on a toasted roll, which added a nice crispness. Very good!
(4)Chad K.
This place is the bomb for Philly sandwiches that melt in your mouth. The fries are great too. Only bad thing is its over by the ghetto. Even with it being ţhere, we go ţhere for lunch monthly cause its great food.
(5)Jordan L.
So I love Pappy's, but every time I go to this location, it feels like I'm cheating on the original Pappy's (Maryland and White Bear), with her younger, hotter, sluttier sister. That is no reflection on the food though. It's still the same awesome stuff. Best Philly Cheesesteak on the planet, although you seem to get less fries here. The employees are friendlier though, so it's a horse apiece. And I just found out they have V8 which is pretty cool. If you're reading this review, do yourself a favor and just go already. Also, tell Marco I sent you.
(5)Cassi N.
I tried Pappy's for lunch today on a suggestion from a friend. Holy buckets was it delicious! I figured for my first time I should go with the staple, dipped Italian Beef with hot peppers and I added swiss cheese. I actually brought it back to my office since it was so close and within minutes had co-workers swarming around me asking where it was from. The bread was deliciously soggy and stuffed full with thinly sliced, spiced to perfection meat. I really enjoyed the seasoning on the fries as well. I'm excited to go back and try the gyros, they looked epic! I will be in a food coma for the rest of the day, but it was totally worth it.
(4)Ken R.
Being old enough to have eaten Maxwell street polish hotdogs on Maxwell street MANY times, I'm always looking for the experience again. After eating here, I'm still looking. Not that the food is bad. It's quite good. Just not authentic. Well, the Italian Beef is damn close, and damned good; and the Maxwell is also good. The Chicago style polish, while tasty shouldn't be fried or grilled. It should be steamed/boiled which gives it a different flavor and texture. If I was in the area I would stop in again.
(3)Fred B.
Very small, busy, and great food. Whoever works the fryolater should get a Nobel prize. Awesome catfish and shrimp.
(5)Todd B.
Very convenient to I94 to get off and on. The cashier recommended the gyro as their best seller and it tasted excellent. The fries were thick-cut and the seasoning was good. Service was poor, as we waited for over 25 minutes for our food and it wasn't that busy. As to the atmosphere it was a dive and in a sketchy neighborhood - having a bit of a true south side of Chicago feel that was borderline for comfort with my family, even on Sunday afternoon. The clientele made a fairly major turnover while we waited for our food - with several college-aged boys leaving after they started eating. We ate rather quickly and left. On the walk back to our car, my son and I were propositioned by a couple of ladies driving out of the parking lot after they nearly ran us over. Would I go back - yes if during the day and I wasn't alone (gyro was great) and no if dusk or later...
(2)BK J.
What drew me in to Pappy's was that they used to have a sign that said two eggs, hashbrowns, toast $2.99. The sign is down and so is the deal. The prices have gone up but you still get a decent amount of food for the price. My one complaint is the volume of the music near the register where you order. You may find yourself having to repeat your order multiple times to make sure the person at the register got it right. The food - where else in town can you get a three egg omelet with meat, veggie and cheese with hashbrowns and toast for $5.99? And the food is good. Not write home to your momma good but still pretty good. There are plenty of breakfast options too. The interior of the place is worn, which is not surprising. I can't imagine a lot of people dine in here. The guys in the kitchen know what they are doing and they do it well. Just be aware that the parking lot in front of the place is postage stamp size (four spaces incl. one handicapped spot) so be warned.

There really aren't many food options on the North Side that actually taste good. Pappy's tastes good, it's made fresh and the prices are reasonable.

Very convenient stop on a drive home when I definitely didn't want to do any cooking. I ordered the chicken Philly. It was definitely filling and tasty, but a bit messy. The restaurant itself was clean and not as sketchy as I was expecting it to be. I'd go back again for some quick take out.

I really wanted to like this place - saw it when I went to Discount Steel (up the street). I'm from Philly. A steak sandwich is supposed to be very thinly sliced beef, cooked just till done, with maybe a couple of smothered onions, on a crusty roll. if you want a chese steak, they put a lid on the steak and melt some provolone. Some places have their own marina sauce. Reall simple. The problem is the steak in my sandwich was almost fried crispy with chopped onion and green pepper. Then the cheese was mixed throughout the chopped steak. Looked like dog food. The onion and green pepper overwhelmed the flavor (what was left after being grilled too long) of the beef. The roll is wonder bread like. I'll give this place a 2nd chance and go for a polish sometime.

OK so Dec 26th 2012 was my first visit here at Pappy's... Ive been on the hunt for a good true Gyro and Italian Beef sandwich's like that is made in Chicago my hometown like most of you are that I seen here so far... I can honestly say that I am a fan now after just finding them by accident yesterday!!! Ambiance so reminds of a typical Chi-town shack A+ there, I ordered the Italian Beef combo w/American cheese and dipped, no peppers the way I like it, and the fries was a great portion.... Nice and crispy and hot too not salted, just fine by me so I can add the salt as I wanted to taste... As my normal way of eating a combo I ate the fries first as they usually get cold, i dunno call it a pet peeve but that is me lol... I took my time eating them an they stayed hot which I was shocked so I knew this so far was a good sign that I found a great place and had to get home yelp about! Ahhh so now I dive into the Italian Beef sandwich that was dipped in Au-juice w/American cheese on the bottom for my selection.... OK so after unwrapping the sandwich like a prize lol, it was nice an sopped up the roll like a true IBS should be, my mouth instantly watered mmmmmmm!!!! OK so i got a dark secrete to admit here I'm a knive and forker lol, yes I use utensils... So I cut into the sandwich with out a problem and take that bite and in heaven, it was perfect!!! I had also ordered a Gyro to go, I had fallen in love them since Rockford IL thanks in part to Uncle Nicks there lol.. I had that today on December 27th 2012 for lunch and it was still fresh as it was great, I loved toppings of lettuce, tomatoes, and the fact that they put the cucumber sauce on the side was perfect!!! The meat was tender and next time I go to Pappy's I will just get a Gyro combo and eat that there mmmmm....... So my final recommendation is that you just have to go to Pappy's and try them yourself as for me I love it and satisfied that I found a great place to go to for my cravings for Hometown food.... Cheers, Patrick Allen

Take a trip to The North Side for a taste of Chicago-style heaven. This place is one of the hidden gems of Minneapolis. The food is awesome and inexpensive. Cheese steak sandwiches, Chicago dogs, catfish, cheese curds, burgers, etc. Your suburban friends will be too scared to go because its off Broadway and 94. Too bad for them. More for you.
