Big Papa's Grill & Live Music — Restaurant in Twin Falls

We went for a concert. It was very poorly organized. It was an all ages event and there was no staff, or place planned for under aged orders to be placed. I stood in line to order food with my kid for over an hour and no one even acknowledged that I was waiting with a child to order. Bar orders were clearly priority. It makes sense but, it did ruin the rare concert my daughter gets to attend for her favorite band. We ended up having to wait until my daughter was sick, the main band was performing and I was able to sneak up to the bar line with her and order her food. By then she was so sick she ate to prevent throwing up on the car ride home and wanted to leave. The food was good but maybe because we were so hungry anything would have tasted amazing by that point. We specifically arrived when the ticket said the doors would open to be able to snag food before the bands started to avoid all of this. Which, the doors were opened late and called a "misprint". This band doesn't misprint at any other venue sooo... weird. The owner spent a lot of time with his hands, literally, on the staff while they were trying to work. Gave me the creeps just seeing it. 4 hour drive, entire night ruined on the one all ages show this band does in the area a year. What a heartbreak caused by poor planning on the venue. I am not sure any band would ever be enough to bring me back to suffer at this venue again unless it changes...

Decent staff for the most part, with the few exceptions worth mentioning. We came a distance to see The Bunny The Bear and I've never seen a notable band be treated so poorly by a venue. They recieved absolutely no sound check, despite being the headliner (the opening local bands got one) and when the band requested one mid show due to being unable to hear themselves and the venue provided equipment wasn't advanced enough to accommodate all their awesome electronic mixes onstage- instead of working with them I witnessed firsthand the "venue manager" throw the ultimate toddler tantrum which ended the show after only 5 songs. I'll DEFINITELY be supporting The Bunny The Bear in the future because they were NOT in the wrong. I however, do not ever see myself supporting this completely unprofessional venue ever again. Completely disrespectful to bands trying to help put this extremely new venue on the map. We don't get nearly enough music in this area so this sort of behavior was disappointing to say the...

27Jan2023 = great night of comedy for $15 entry with Luke Severeid.

They'll search & check ID at the door, so maybe try not to have all your pockets full of stuff like I did.

Seated at the bar, not once did any of the staff ask if I wanted anything, so I guess you have to be pretty pushy and yell at them here, which ain't my style, so I just enjoyed the show.

Plus they looked confused for each order they brought out on who it was supposed to go to, maybe organization is still in beta here.

Maybe they were short staffed, like the rest of the world, but I didn't see a help wanted sign anywhere...

They have a sweet table built on top of an old bicycle, pretty nice looking bar with fancy lighting, a couple billiards tables, and a decent stage, good acoustics with the...
