I really wanted to like this place. I mean, come on, a greasy spoon? What's not to like about a greasy spoon? Some days, that's exactly what you want: greasy, home-cooked, down-to-earth food. So that's where we headed - five of us who've driven by this place many times but have never been inside. I don't know about the other four of us, but this one of us will not be going back.
First of all, the service was horrid: haphazard, mish-mashed, servers interrupting other servers, trying to get answers to questions about the menu, you name it. Then once we finally got our order taken and the food began to arrive, it came at different times for each one of us. The biscuits and gravy came out first, then came a sandwich, then came the kids' food, and last and definitely least, came my fish and chips. As you can see from my photo, the plate has grease splattered all over it, no doubt from the whimpy, wilty, not-even-hot french fries and from the tiniest two little pieces of over-fried fish that I've ever seen on a plate. Yes, it's a greasy spoon, but I truthfully don't think I was expecting real grease to be splattered all over my plate. Even so, that wouldn't have been so bad if the french fries had been anything other than what they were and if there had been more than 3 bites of fish. A tiny cup of cole slaw completed my lunch plate, along with another tiny cup of tartar sauce, although I suppose any more than that little bit of tartar sauce would have been irrelevant since there were only two very small pieces of fish (from the photo I took, it's difficult to tell exactly how big these pieces of fish are, but trust me when I say they are each roughly the same size as my thumb). The cole slaw and tartar sauce were served in what's called a paper souffle cup and are probably the 4-ounce size; each cup was about half full, making it about 2 ounces each of slaw and sauce, or the equivalent of 1/4 cup.
Needless to say, Pappy's will not be getting my business again any time soon. Too bad because I had such high hopes for a cool little ol' greasy spoon.
