Papa's Bar & Grill

We stopped thru town to check out the Steel Magnolia spots and found this cute place in the downtown riverfront area for a mid week lunch. There was street parking available right across the street. We got there around 11ish; the place was empty so we had our choice of seating. The server was very attentive, friendly and informative. I ordered the Caramel Apple Martini. It ???????? was ???????? amazing ???????? It tasted exactly like a caramel apple. Mostly tart with a sweet caramel glass drizzle. We ordered the Turtle Eggs (fried jalapeño) appetizer but they were out. Hubs ordered ribeye po boy. It had big chunks of nicely seasoned ribeye steak. I ordered the Honey ham sliders…I think it was actually Turkey. I didn’t mention it because it was good. A little fancy whole grain or spicy mustard would have made it perfect. The fries were crinkle cut and seasoned and fried deliciously! The prices were reasonable for what we ordered; $54 - 2 meals - his ribeye po boy was $17, the specialty cocktail was $12 WORTH it! And his bourbon and coke was $5. Bargain!. The atmosphere was what we expected…even with a mostly empty restaurant. The next time we are in the area I want to try out Mama’s next door and their live music on weekends!

We stopped in for lunch on Saturday, April the 22nd. and had a great meal, everyone was pleased. We were in Louisiana for a HOG Rally and decided to have lunch in Natchitoches. We had a group of 15 riders and stopped at Papa's because they had tables for all of us. The staff was friendly and handled the rush in business very well. I had the Chicken Sandwich, it was recommended by the Waitress. The Sandwich was great, the chicken breast was seasoned and cooked perfectly! I also had their thick hand cut French Fries, they too were great. We had a great time and everyone was pleased with their meal. I would definitely like to return and try another dish some day.

Highly recommended to me by locals as the only place to go for a one of a kind meat pie. It was delicious!! However, I don't have the heart to tell Louisiana that a meat pie is just an empanada. Lol

We came from Kentwood and my cousin's family for a family rv trip. The food was delicious, service was great and our server couldn't have been more attentive. Look forward to coming back. Loved it!!!

Cool little place. Lots of history. Food was delicious. Service was fantastic. Ordered the 7oz filet and it was cooked perfect. Cookies and cream pie was for dessert and it was light and fluffy! Yummy! Will be back to try a recommended sandwich!
