Reviews of Papa's Pub & Eatery (Kindergarten)

Derrick Antaya

Service was excellent food was excellent. I had the chilli chicken club and it was delicious. My wife had the Alfredo which was also good. The deep fried pepperoni was really good, never had anything like that before. We got fried cheesecake to go and they went out of their way to make sure the whipped cream in a separate dish so the cheesecake wpuldnwo get soggy. Hats off for that.

Jim Brandeau

Sam nolan

Anthony MacPherson

Love eating here, the staff are always incredibly nice and chatty which adds a lot to the place. Food is awesome and they do a good job at accommodating fairly large groups.

Paul Bourget

Nothing to complain about at all. Cozy interior, an arcade and bar... Papa's has lots to offer. The meals were excellent and presentation was on point. Great selection for tap beer and they have awesome desserts.

Not kid friendly and extremely rude servers. We tried to eat here as a family with our 18-month old son. The server was so rude to our child and my wife that we immediately left and ate elsewhere. Never again.

Kate Taylor

Good food, good service.

TO BE AVIODED!!! We were looking for something to eat and based on the recommendations of some locals we ended up in Papa's Pub. We sat down, and waited and waited and waited for the server to come and take our order. She finally came,and we ordered two beer which arrived promptly. Then we ordered the food (burger, and a steak) and some water. After 10mins the water still had not come, and we asked again for the water, which she then brought. We waited for 30mins and then asked about the status of our food. She checked with the kitchen, and told us that they had not even started cook our food! At that point we got up and prepared to leave. We paid for the beer (we should just have l ft, but we are honest people), and the waitress got "fresh" and said that they had a large table in the back (birthday party?) and that's why they could not serve us faster. We demanded to speak to the manager but were told in a very impolite way that he was not present. We left and went to Tim Hortons where we should have gone in the first place. Summary: Bad service, impolite waitress!!! Do yourself a favor and avoid this dump!!!

Rhonda Langlois

Great Experience especially with Covid. They took Temps when arriving and the Staff members were continually sanitizing. Hats off to your two young Staff Members. The food was amazing as always. We don't get up as often since our boys no longer play hockey but if you are looking for a home cooked meal while traveling through Porthawksbury Papa's Pub and Eatery is the place to stop.

Grabbed a quick bite on our route towards Cabot Trail. We had an excellent service and a decent seafood chowder. The food is not exceptional but it hit the spot. The fish and chips was served with commercial tartar sauce in little packages, that was disappointing, but the sweet patatoe fries were excellent. They have plenty of variety on their menu, so if you are a group, everyone should find something that will suit them.

Classic little eatery. Pizza was good. Staff friendly. Will go back during my travels.

Nice dining setup with light music at background. Good place to hangout. ???? Is delicious with lots of variety. Menu is customisable . Good staff.

Amanda Peters

Had the wings, bruchetta and skins. It was all okay, nothing spectacular. Skins had lots of toppings and were really cheesy

Jessica Lynn

Food is delicious, friendly environment. Their menu has a wide variety as well as seafood dishes for your east coast cravings. $$$

Greg Howe

Good food, great staff, nice little local restaurant in cape breton, recommend on your travels

Eric Middleton

Great fish and chips. Awesome clubhouse and fries. The waitress was an incredible lady and so friendly. Great atmosphere. Love papas. We will be back. Thanks.

Karen Levy

I found bits of fried clams in my french fries. My order was one piece fish and chips and my partner had pan fried haddock the difference between mine and his was he had a handful of veggies and his costed 6$ more then mine. The positive side is the batter on this fish was light and not greasy and good size portioned.

morgan jeremias

Waited over an hour for our food. Wasnt good we ate maybe 3 bites and then just paid and left it. I will not be returning I had high Hope's based on other reviews but I was very disappointed. I do have to say the staff was kind.

Wayne Conrad

Really good food here. I would vote Papa's Pub to have the best Pizza in CB. Little pricey but that is overlooked by quality and quantity of food.

Chesley Oakley

Too long of a drive for me but I do like what you posted on Facebook and yes we have to fight against the new variant called tyranny.

Dan Davies

Surprisingly good Service has always been good, but the food was a bit sketchy - not quite sure what some of the dishes were. Much better this time. Tried the Cajun chicken wrap, with salad - both were quite good.

Helen Theresa Bernard

Great place for dinner and drinks with friends! Large portions for sharing.

Kristine MacDonald

Papa's is always a fan-favourite place - wether we are entertaining out-of-town gusts or it's just a Monday lunch. The food is delicious, the staff is welcoming and very hard working, and the prices are affordable. We have had a bit of trouble in the past when ordering pizza, but the staff always ensures that the issue is fixed before we leave (i.e.: we received the wrong size, garlic fingers were missed). That being said, get yourself the deep fried cheesecake. It's good for your soul.

Keith B

Not great food. I ordered a side of scallops, they charged me for a main. I pointed this out to the waitress (who apparently didn't want a tip) and she stood her ground on the basis that I had eaten a full portion (which I didn't ask for) and so should pay for it. Regardless of the fact that had I wanted 9 scallops (a full portion) I would have ordered 2 side portions (5 scallops each, $7 each) rather than pay $18 for a scallop main with no fries. Having a rant about scallops on google does wonders for dinner-venue-choice-regret.

koko

my fave pub in nova scotia????

RandyPKsNubs

Extremely good food, Extremely friendly staff, Also based owner doesn't discriminate on vaccine status. 100% getting weekly service from me until the end of this long stretch that was once "2 weeks to slow the spread" much love Papas <3

Julie Anne Fox

Sooooo yum! Great staff too! Drive 1 hour just for their deep fried cheese cake.

Krishna Kumar

Astro

Suthan Ganga

Hello All, Mr. Rob is a fantastic server and friendly person. He gave us very warm welcome. We ordered 5 different dishes & believe me, all of them are cooked very well. Specially my fish and chip is so good. Finally we test the real good food & It’s worth it us to come from all the way from Toronto. Thanks to Rob and Chef!!!

Nathaniel Langford

Good service, waitress was quite jolly actually. Food didn't take too long, i recommend the pizza!

Samson

It was very busy and we were only two of us, felt a little ignored by the waitress but that were busy...... Larger tables got better service probably due to possible larger tip

Terry Randell

Stayed at the hotel across the street and came in randomly. Wide selection on the menu. The staff were incredibly friendly and staff were open to providing meal suggestions. Good portion sizes. Would recommend!

duncan hughes

Poutine and onion rings were great. Generic beer selection. Outdoor deck was nice until it got dark. Very pleasant and accommodating staff.

Aaliyah Khan

Service was horrible! We had my 1 year old and when we said we would need a high chair the waitress said “ok, but it’s gonna be a few minutes”. One menu/table? I get there is covid but everything is sanitized. Then my baby was holding the menu and he waitress said um there’s chemicals on the menus!!! Not to mention a mask around your chin when you’re supposed to wear it is not effective.

Tara Deveaux

Always a favorite spot to stop when in Port Hawkesbury. Always great food and awesome service. Go check it out for yourself you will agree. And try the pizza its DELICIOUS ????

Michelle Prager

Last night I had the patio burger. It wasn't on the regular menu but wow it should be!!!! Was the best burger I have had in recent memory.....toppings were fresh and delicious. Fries nice and hot ....at first I thought 14.dollars is a bit expensive but after I ate it I've changed my mind was worth every penny. ......I just hope it's on special mu next visit....

Tom Heaslip

Excellent food... Service a bit slow

Matthew Touesnard VA1MRT

Great place to sit and have a cold drink and a tasty meal. Always left very satisfied and they know how to make a wicked pizza!

Debra Pulaski

We stopped here for lunch today and highly recommend it. The restaurant was clean and quiet and the waitstaff were courteous and professional. Their fried haddock dinner was delicious and prices well. The haddock was a generous filet that was lightly battered and fried, and served with a large helping of hand cut French fries, sauteed in-season vegetables, and a small side of coleslaw. We also enjoyed a cup of their special recipe seafood chowder, which was made with a light cream and seafood stock broth, diced potatoes and onions and spices.

Heather Young

Amazing people, fast service, large servings, awesome food !

Charlene Hunter

Always have a very good meal here. I'd give them a 4.5 of I could.

Allyson Clayton

I have really enjoyed the food here. The menu is large enough so everyone should be able to find something. The wait staff are friendly and helpful. This place is kid friendly with kids menus and high chairs - don't let "pub" fool you!

Devyn farrow

Well I can start this off with incredible service here. The staff are always thinking about the customer first and it's very welcoming. Not to mention great food! If you're looking for a night out of relaxation with amazing food this is the place to go, go check them out!

Joel Collins

Nice little spot on the patio...waitress was nice We had the pizza. Crust was excellent, nice sauce. Real bacon not crumble. I approve. 4.5 stars

jen macdonald

Does not take the health and safety of their customers and province seriously.

Chris Vasco

Good food and service. Our food came quick, hot and tasted good. Nice atmosphere and the servers were friendly.

Kim Lewis

The food is absolutely delicious and the staff are very friendly

Lisa Jones

Pizza is amazing! Service was excellent! Lots to choose from on menu. Good atmosphere too!

V Sooke

Our server continuously talked about how dumb they thought masks are. We didn’t want to hear your opinions, just wanted a meal out.

Stasis NS

We ordered a club sandwich to split. The place was about half full and not super busy. We waited about 25 or 30 minutes and no food. The ladies at the table next to us sat down after us and had been each served their meal and dessert while we had nothing. We paid for the beverage we ordered and left. Would not recommend stopping here if you're on a road trip from Halifax to Sydney or vice versa.

Mr Donovan

Great service. Food was fast and fresh. Everyone enjoyed what they ordered.

Ross Wayland

Best meal on Cape Breton the last 5 years!

Melissa Thomas

I had the haddock special. It was a perfect amount of crunch, cooked well, fries are delicious. Reasonable price and good amount of food. I was not hungry leaving! I would eat there again.

darlene macdougall

First time there, beautiful set up of a cozy family eating area, then a bar and machines room. Beautiful Hugh washrooms and clean. Friendly staff, large portions, and reasonably priced. I highly recommend, and we will most diffently will be back

Symone Plowman

The 4 of us went in yesterday for a late lunch, we all ordered something different and every single dish we ordered tasted absolutely delicious! We all left there raving about how good it was and have already made plans to make the trip back up as we were from the sydney area. Food was fresh served hot and portions were great ???? 10/10 will recommend to our friends and family

James Brandeau

Very good food and service.

Laura Tucker

I had a small chowder and a side Caesar salad. Both were bigger than I anticipated but I finished it all because it was so good. The service was very friendly.

Charles Hart

Great food. Nice service Will return soon

Damian Welsh

I'm a very critical diner and pick apart every aspect of a meal down to the finest detail but today I was very impressed with my entire meal and that of my family. A table of 6 and I didnt find a thing wrong with our food. It was excellent, exceptional. Down to the last bite a very enjoyable meal. Our server was amazing as well. Compliments to the kitchen to a job well done. Thank you

Frankie Campbell

Service was terrible. When the waitress forgot my sons pizza, after the rest of his ball team were done eating their pizza, she says the pizza oven was broken. When we leave other people in the restaurant were eating pizza. When I called after leaving to find out how, if the oven was broken,were people still able to get it, she said it was fixed. Well thank you for telling us that while we were there so we could have gotten it, and she said well I did take it off your bill. Thanks for embarrassing a 9 year old in front of his team.

Alex Marks

Verry good pizza friendly staff and great covid restrictions go above and beyond. Good to see covid rues beeing followed ????

Kevin Haley

Awesome wings! Great service!

James Wootton

Really nice fresh salad, awesome fish the best I have had in a long time. The waiter and waitress were both amazing and I will certainly be visiting again on Sydney trips

Elaine Gaudet

It has the best pan fried haddock, fresh and large pieces! Very nice and friendly service! I would definitely recommend it to everyone! ⭐⭐⭐⭐
