   Food was fantastic as usual. Love the crusted trout. The honey glaze makes it the best. We love to sit in Ronnie's section as she is just the best. Friendly, attentive and has a great smile.

   I drive by this restaurant and it is constantly busy. The hostess seemed disorganized with the reservations the waitress we had ignored is as a table of 2 over a table of 6. It was just okay. Lots of food and the risotto balls were great.

   The service is always excellent. We made a reservation (for two) and had zero wait upon arrival. The monthly specials are always a good bet, and the Grecco Salad did not disappoint -- it was fresh and flavorful in a very generous proportion. Mom insisted we split carrot cake for dessert, and I was delighted at how freshly baked it seemed. I highly recommend Papa Joe's for any occasion.

    I know these are tough times but our servers never seem very pleasant with us. We go there once or twice a month and usually order drinks and appetizers and enjoy sitting in the bar. They act like we are a bother. We are always friendly and leave very generous tips. I feel like the daily/weekly customers get much better attention.

    Very good and pleasant service. We always enjoy Papa Joes because the food is always good as is the service. There's a reason this restaurant has been in business for so many years. The menu has been pared down from what it was some years ago but there are still plenty of choices.

    We love our evenings at Papa Joe's. We have enjoyed the Iacomini experience our entire lives, and are glad that the family is still presenting its classic Italian favorites, as well as some new dishes that are fun to try.

    When we make a reservation we have certain expectations. One is that there will be a table ready at that time. Obviously, that wasn’t the case here as there were at least 20 people waiting to be seated and we were added to the list. That’s not a reservation, that is a “call ahead”. Other than that once we were seated around 30 minutes after our reserved time, the food and service were both five star. Maybe it was a normal Saturday night, but we Will return at a less busy time.

    I regularly eat at Papa Joe's and I don't recall ever having a meal that I would call bad. Sometimes, they're not exactly what I am expecting. However, if there is something that you are not pleased with whether it is your expectations or whatever, the servers immediately try to remedy it for you.

    Papa Joe's was as good as usual. I enjoyed the Faroe Island salmon and Lou had fried perch. We both enjoyed zucchini and Papa Joe's potatoes. We had a bottle of Au Bon Climant chardonnay and spumoni for dessert. It was an enjoyable evening.

    New Year's Eve and the place was jammed. You'd never know by our server, Nancy. She took everything in stride and the service was great! I have reviewed the food previously and am happy to report the food remains outstanding. We all ordered filets and they were cooked to perfection! Terrific dining experience.

    Considering it was the night before New Yer's Eve and Papa Joe's was incredibly busy, the experience was exactly what was expected based on previous visits. Yes, it took a bit longer to get our meals, but the restaurant was full and busy with large parties. Overall, it was well worth the short wait we had.

    We are never disappointed with our dining experience at Papa Joe's! We had my father in law's 90th birthday party here and plan to have his 95th there as well. We love the stuffed banana peppers, and I always order and thoroughly enjoy the chicken parmesian!

    When I arrived, there was a table and chairs all set and ready to go (no booth as I requested). Service was amazing considering how busy it was for a Weds evening. Food arrived in a reasonable time and was delicious. One of my favorite Akron haunts.
