Papa's Pub & Pizzeria — Restaurant in Fort Smith

IF I COULD GIVE THIS 10 STARS I'D GIVE IT 12! I have never felt so taken care of as a customer. Me and my buddy are in town for an event and were left without a car on a rainy night after a long day of peddling our wares at the show. We face the decision of braving the storm and walking the 3 blocks to Papa's or attempting to survive on the front desk peppermints. But, on a tip from the front desk guy that "these guys (were) cool," we chose to call and see if we could pay them extra to deliver. We call and do out best to explain the situation, and luckily Serge was as cool as advertised, and said we would make it happen. SUCCESS! We ordered the dry rub wings and a chicken bacon ranch pizza with some extra ranch, eager to see if this place lived up to the high expectations set by a local earlier that day. We watch a survival show, as it was the first thing to pop up when we turned on the TV. And just as we are about to learn how to make snow shoes out of an old umbrella, we get the call. Serge is in the lobby. To our pleasant surprise, Serge tells us he thought we sounded cool on the phone, so he brought us some extra cheesy bread that was cooked by mistake. We open up the boxes, releasing an intoxicating aroma that filled the room and activated our salivary glands. The cheesy bread is the first to be tested. I tear dropped from my eye in perfect synchronicity with the first bite dropping to my stomach. Simply beautiful. I savored every bite, attempting to control my urge to inhale the rest of the cheesy goodness with reckless abandon. I controlled my instincts and moved to the wings. After the first bite I was speechless. A wonderfully seasoned chicken wing, cooked to perfection, with a flawless level of buffalo flavor that transports your taste buds to upstate New York. The house made Ranch Dressing was the perfect complement to an already immaculate wing. I soon paused to thank my past self for ordering 20 of these golden orange gifts from the Lord. As the last bone fell from my stained fingers, I leaned back in the hotel chair with the same feeling of Simeon after witnessing the baby Jesus at Temple; "now let your servant die in peace." As I scrubbed my hands clean I looked at myself in the mirror, my face smeared with a Joker-esque smile, in a tribute to the beautiful chaos my mouth had just experienced. From start to finish this was one of the most superb dining experiences I have ever had. If you have a bad experience at Papa's, it's...

Papa's is awesome. Really good pizza & service here. The "Goob's Special" pizza is fantastic, the dry rub goes so good on the pizza you'd wonder why anyone would make it any other way. Great drink selection and the staff are amazing; they're very attentive and never once did we have to call out for anyone to come to the table as they checked in regularly. It's a private club so smoking is allowed if that's your thing, though suprisingly not super smokey on the inside. Modern jukebox + pool + games on several big TV's throughout the pub. Would absolutely recommend anyone give it a try. It's on garrison so parking is well, what it is, not much can be done there. Everything was priced VERY fair, especially considering how expensive an evening can get these days. Thanks...

So, we got here and ordered a meat lovers pizza. We had to wait around 3-4 mins on our table before the waiter finally showed up and got out drinks. Which were two waters, but the thing is, the waiter didn't give us a single refill. So we just sat there for about 15 mins waiting for our pizza. And once we got it and opened it, it was a disappointment, to say the least. It looked no better than a frozen pizza. And the thing is. A frozen pizza tastes better than whatever we have. It was the most abysmal tasting pizza we've ever had. I still had to wash out the after taste rn as I'm writing this. And I'm not writing this just to be rude. I'm venting because it really was THAT bad. I never write bad reviews about anything. But I think people have to know about how bad...
