Papa's And Grill - Malden

Wanted to give 3.5 stars, but because the food was Really good I decided to go up one instead of down... Have had the menu in the house for months always hesitated ordering out from here because we all agree that certain things just shouldnt be delivered or taken out... Like pretty much everything we ordered... But we decided we were going to be adventurous go for it this weekend... So we ordered several things... 1. Baked Stuffed Shrimp (with seafood topping) w/ Baked Potato. When I got it opened it I was soo disappointed in how it looked, it looked just like some shrimp with Ritz crackers crumbled on top... But then I took a bite, these were no Plain Ritz crackers, It was soo delicious the perfect ratio of Garlic to Butter to lemon... So good! 2. BF got the Burger that according to all the reviews here was great... He stated it probably would have been better had he not asked me to stress Well Done when I ordered (he has a thing about pink meat)... he said it was too well done next time he will be more aware, but that he did like it alot he doesnt like anything... 3. Baked Seafood Casserole (same topping) same reaction but it was soo good, Mom said all the fish in it was soo great... 4. Papa Platter had all your usuals, Mozz Stix, Potato Skins, it was good... Really tasty actually... They gave tons of utensils, condiments, everything... I did get a side salad asked for dressing no one now adays puts dressing on the salad so shame on me for not asking for it on the side, but it was way too much dressing, but it was still delish... Just make sure to ask for dressing on the side... They had to increase the price on all the seafood plates... ooh I forgot the BF was undecided that night he got a shrimp plate also... But they dont have sides, so we needed to order the burger meal with fries the shrimp with fries... so there were way too many sides I wished they did boxes... Delivery like others said was long but It was just about an hour I dont think thats too bad for what we ordered I am a city over... Will def order again when in the mood, just a little pricey now with Captains Quarters back open in Everett, I can run there for my Seafood Fix!

Sat at the bar ordered a beer and I asked for a menu she noded her head yes, 25 minutes later still no menu must of walked by me a dozen times . Finally I told her (Andrea) to forget it just give me the check. Never had any issues here before with the other bartenders. Thanks for ruining one of my favorite hang outs. Won't be coming back if she's there.

Looks as though this place has seen better days. Just a couple of people sitting at the bar and very towny. We ordered wings cooked crispy, but you know when you see white on the skins of a wing that they're freezer burnt! What a bummer! I'm still in search of a place that can compare to Wendell's in Norton. I do have to say that the bartender was very nice.

2nd Edit: Owner rechecked the cameras and admitted I was there, and apologized. While it is impossible to gauge sincerity over a yelp message, I figured I 'd at least mention it if that remedies concern for other people. Edit: owner bizzarely and rudely tried to gaslight me telling me to delete the review because they checked the cameras and are claiming I never came in. Unlikely, since my airbnb is on west street a few hundred yards away, and I drove by to confirm. What 's funny is if they reached out without the attitude I would be more than willing to accommodate a compromise. Can 't fault her panic though, based on how crowded it was, I 'd be worried about my business reputation too... Original review: In town for business staying at an AirBnB nearby. Looked up the closest bar so I could get a burger and beer and found my way here after a short walk. As I approach the building I look at the parking lot which was near completely empty walk in at around 9:30-10pm on a Saturday. Confused, I check and see it 's open until 2, so i walk in. The place was near empty with only 5 people in it, all who looked to be regulars. After I sit down and ask if the kitchen was open (since it looked like the place was about to be closed down, despite it only being 9:30ish) the bartender rudely/sarcastically says, it 's been closed for awhile sweetie , as if that was an unrealistic expectation or that I should have known the details of this small bar in some small town. I then ask for a drink and she looks at me and said we don 't take out of state ids . Look, outside the fact that I 'm 30, I get being skeptical, but most well run places would ask for a 2nd form of ID just to confirm. Still, it wouldn 't have bugged me if she didn 't say it so accusatory or loudly explain it to the other patrons as I walked out like she was some fbi agent who just caught one of the biggest criminals of all time. Like lady, let 's be real. If I were a local who was underage and just wanted to get drunk would I really want to be getting drunk at a bar that was completely dead with literally 6 people in it (all over the age of 50)? Do you think college kids with fakes would be like yeah, let 's go to the pub with the 55 year old bartender with busted teeth and no music instead of downtown Boston? Get real and get over yourself. Went to shanghai moon down the street and tipped their bartender (who had all his teeth) 50%.

I have not eaten Papa's in well over a decade until the other afternoon. At one time Papa's was a staple in our weekly diet. I had a cheeseburger that was dry and almost un-edible. I left half of it uneaten which is rare for me. My buddy had a cheeseburger asking for it to be cooked medium rare. It was served overcooked and charred. They took his off the bill but the meal was ruined. Won't be eating here again.
