Papi's Eatery & Lounge in Owen Sound

A beautiful little place with very kind staff. Not to mention that their creme brulee has now become one of my favorites! Food

MENS hockey annual Christmas luncheon gathering - my life partner who enjoys playing with Papa Kaz (Sr B North Stars lacrosse), DQ owner (Sauble Beach), Apple farmer who generously gave out some of his delicious Fall crop, just to name a few looks forward to Papis pizza (bringing me home a couple of slices and now one of my top favorites) I will try Gnocchi dish on my next visit. Happy Holidays & Merry Christmas!

Great place to enjoy yummy pizza

Very good local grown food. Enough options to satisfy anyone. Small restaurant so good idea to make a reservation.

Excellent food; great value. Friendly and efficient service. Now one of the best restaurants in Owen Sound.A++

We tried a more high-brow place in Owen Sound today, but the owners husband was the very reluctant server. No interest in helping us find a wine that we liked....He was rude! So we decided not to spend our $200 there. Walked down to Papis where Erin was quite glad to help us! She indulged us in our Senior-citizen style conversation and inquiries! The wine, sandwiches, salads and creme Brule were good, fresh and satisfying! Thanks to the chef, and especially to Erin for saving our dining experience in Owen Sound. See you again soon! Parking: 2 hour free parking in the street!

Very accomodating and friendly staff. Food was good.

A group of 8 of us had a birthday party at papi s and the experience was flawless. Most of our party had the local fish special and the pizza. The service was amazing and we are already planning our next trip back. We are lucky to have this small business in our community.

We had the steak it was really good. We are new to the area and this is on of our favourite restaurants. Food

Soup was delicious !

Incredible private dinner experience, Jon & Melissa went above and beyond our expectations and curated an unforgettable experience. Incredible and professional duo.

I had my sister and BIL up for the wknd and had the absolute pleasure of a wonderful dinner at Papis. Our table had pasta, pizza and steak - fantastic all round! Atmosphere is reminiscent of a small eatery in Europe (recommend reservations). Service impeccable. Will definitely be back to share this downtown gem.

The atmosphere was comfortable and enjoyable. Jazz music lightly played in the background as people happily talked amongst their gatherings. A very upbeat space. The food was all made homemade and from scratch and was amazing. From the perfectly lightly battere crispy chicken breast that was crispy on the outside and oh so juicy and delicious on the inside, served on a homemade bun with fresh toppings, to the sweet potato fries with the homemade side dip. Everything that was on the plate was 5-star and amazing. Lots of options for non-alcoholic drinks, mocktails, cocktails, beers and cider. There was something for everyone.

Wow! Highly recommend! Fantastic food and service.

Would give 10 stars if I could! This place is fabulous, incredible food, amazing service and down to earth atmosphere! The garlic spinach chicken dish, lentil shepherds pie and creme brulee are to die for!!

The reception was very nice. The service friendly. We had ordered steak, well it wasnt the quality Im used to. Very bite-proof and unfortunately with tendons. Too bad.

Fabulous place. Ceasar salad was out of this world.

Excellent food excellent environment. Pricing was good for lunch hour highly recommended.!

What a gem of a restaurant! Papi s has a lovely ambiance, delightful food and wonderful service. The homemade pizzas were delicious and I have rarely had such a wonderful salad. In far too many restaurants the salad greens are marred by wilted lettuce. Here every leaf was crisp and perfect and the accompanying vegetables were fresh and delicious. There is obvious care and attention paid to every aspect of the meal.

Food the best. Waiters amazing. No wait to be seated. And very clean. 5 star best.

Great local place and amazing food. A lot of vegan and vegetarian options available, just ask! Pretzel bites were homemade and perfect! Ceasar salad was fresh with homemade dressing! Definitely a place to visit on your drive through Owen Sound!

Pappy s in Owens Hall came highly recommended, so we decided to give it a try for a family dinner. While there were some positives, unfortunately, our experience fell short in several areas.We were greeted warmly upon arrival, and the ambiance is undeniably pleasant. The restaurant has a charming, classic Italian decor that creates a welcoming atmosphere. However, our dining experience was marred by several issues.First, we noticed that there was no childrens menu, which made it a bit challenging to find suitable options for our youngest. We ended up ordering pizzas for the whole family, while our daughter opted for a soup and salad. Unfortunately, the wait time for our food was excessively long, which was particularly tough with kids in tow.When the food finally arrived, the pizzas were a major disappointment. The crust, in particular, was the worst I ve ever tasted it was flat, white, and completely flavorless. It lacked any seasoning and didn t seem to have risen at all. I had ordered the fajita pizza, and while the toppings were decent, the crust really detracted from the overall dish. My partner s pizza was equally underwhelming, though my son, who ordered a pepperoni pizza, seemed to enjoy his meal, finding the flavor to his liking.As for our daughter, she loved her soup and salad. However, we were under the impression that the soup would be served with bread, which turned out to only be included with the larger portion. This detail could have been communicated more clearly.Given the long wait, the lackluster pizza crust, and the overall inconsistencies, I can only give Pappy s a 2 out of 5 stars. While the atmosphere is nice, the food, unfortunately, did not meet our expectations.

Some frozen pizzas are better than their pizzas, lack of dressing in the Caesar salad and too long a delay before receiving our dishes.

Great spot. Fresh food. Great people. Awesome pizza. My favorite spot in town. Local Family run.

It was good! Hidden gem in downtown Owen sound! Glad we stopped in ! Vegetarian options: Different options on menu Food : 5/5 |

Excellent food, great service.

One of our favourite places to grab a bite - so we had our staff party here! The food was superb but best of all was the amazing service from Papi and his team! They treated us like royalty and everyone loved it! Highly recommend to other businesses, locals, and tourists alike! The Pizzas, the Spinach Chicken, the Grilled Cheese comfort food goodness, and the desserts... oh my Cheers to an awesome family-owned downtown restaurant!

Papi s vibe and service was top notch! Our food & drinks were delicious. Can t wait to visit this gem again

The grilled cheese sandwich was delicious. I loved the homemade bread. The grilled vegetable with spaghetti special was really tasty. Loved the creme brulee.

The Staff was friendly, the food was delicious, great place to eat! Will definitely go back!

Amazing 100 out of 10

First time visiting this restaurant. We were on vacation and looking for a place to have lunch. The food was excellent. Loved the grill cheese (made on bread that is made in house. Served with homemade tomato soup which was delicious. Our sever Loretta was lovely and attentive. Also tried the pizza and burger which were also amazing. Would definitely recommend and we will return next time with are in the area.

We dined in, and to no surprise the place was packed.We had not made reservations, so we were seated by the entrance on very high stools with a wee little table. That was our only drawback. Our waitress and staff was so friendly. After that, the caesar and the mojito were one of the best weve ever had, and helped to set the mood for the meal. Cauliflower bites with soy ginger sauce were amazing, and a generous portion, unlike many stingy restaurants. My spouse raved about the broccoli cheddar soup. My main course was chicken with spinach cream sauce, garlic mashed potatoes, and vegetables, which was corn-on-the-cob that I had to request a knife for, but was worth the extra effort. My spouses cheeseburger pizza was delicious. As much as I wanted to try their lemon meringue pie for dessert, there was no room. Parking: Free parking on the street in front of the restaurant downtown

Love these guys always really appreciate the personal attention and hugs

Excellent service and food.

Cute little restaurant. Food was decent, the pizza was really good, burger not so much. Crème brûlée was awesome and lots of local beers. Staff was great

Great burger special. Great atmosphere and decor. Would definitely come back!

We were there for a small company dinner. Hors doeuvres were great, as was my dinner. I had the fish of the day. A pan-fried whitefish with a dill crust accompanied by rice and vegetables paté and corn on the cob. For dessert, I had the Kentucky Bourbon pecan pie with vanilla ice cream. All of the food was done excellent. The only negative is that it is a rather small place. There were about 20 of us, and we took up about 2/3rds of one side of the restaurant.

Beautiful place with great vibe and delicious food. Great service and staff! A must visit in Owen Sound.

Service was not good, waiter didnt seem to want to take our full order, and took over an hour for him to take our order for our appetizers, then took longer to get our dinner ordered and a while to even get our order. Would likely not go again.

Stopped here while visiting Owen Sound. We were 4 and all loved it! Great food, great service. I wish it was closer to my hometown lol!

Amazing food that is very tasty. The pizzas and burgers have REAL cheese that makes all the difference. They also have what is easily the BEST burger in town. The specials are varied and very good. I would highly recommend for any dining experience.

Papi and his staff were amazing! Chicken bites, pizza and the Brie feature dip was to die for I cannot wait to come back!

Parking: If you can find Municipal parking then you only have to walk a couple of blocks to the restaurant. This was a good thing to wear off lunch. Food

Wonderful spot in downtown! Great food and we chatted with other humans eating for reccos too. Breakfast pizza FTW! Chicken bites were delicious Food

Been in several times and always great food and excellent service.

Stumbled upon this place and really enjoyed it. Loved that they had a half pizza and salad option; the homemade gnocchi special was the best I ve ever had; and I had to rush to get any of the cauliflower bites because the kids devoured them. Dietary restrictions: They had a gluten free bun options n

Erin, our server, was the saving grace. Our meals were over priced, under whelming, and the pizzas in particular, 2 different selections ordered by 2 of us, were by far, the least flavourful pies weve ever had the misfortune of tasting. Our other 2 patrons were equally disappointed with the burger special and the lentil casserole. You will be closing up shop sooner than later if you continue to serve such mediocre food at inflated prices. Wont be back unfortunately. Was hoping youd rock our socks being the only restaurant in this area, but sadly, no.

Four of us decided to check this place out for the 1st time, to celebrate 2 of our birthdays. Our server Erin was the only real redemption for the over-priced, blase meals we ordered. Frozen Delissio pizza has more flavour than the pies we choked down and left with more than half of in take out containers to give to the homeless. The $23 burger ordered by one of us, accompanied by luke warm onion rings, also left a lot to be desired. I really dont understand the 4* ratings for this place. Those people must be used to mediocre food. The servers were tag teaming throughout the dinner rush, and the girl working with Erin was pushy, abrupt and rude, so on top of the already poor experience with the fare, we wont be returning.

Went here with a few friends and had a lovely time. The atmosphere, staff and owner are very inviting. The pizza was delicious and the maple chilli chicken bites were absolutely amazing. Definitely will be back.

Best food in town! The service is stellar and the beer selection is bomb. There are always new menu items to try you need to go here!

Papis was great for our large group on a very busy Saturday night! The food was excellent, and the drink selection hit the spot for everyone at the table. We will definitely be back!

First time trying this place... Was great food and atmosphere. Definitely make reservations, limited seating. P.S. well bring the dessert bowl back. Food : 5/5 |

Great food, best service & just comfy, thank you!

Absolutely recommend. Delicious food and great atmosphere.

Great food! Service was friendly but a bit slow.

I had the lentil Sheppard pie. It was so good.

The Pizzas were absolutely fantastic

I wanted to rate this place higher but the pizza and drinks just weren t that good. Lime mojito was watery and the pizza and Cesar salad were pretty average. I like the dipping sauce selection. The service was fantastic though. The host, server and (I m guessing) the owner were all super friendly. I ll likely go back again because of the service and atmosphere and order something else.

Everything fresh! So happy we stopped here. Attention to detail and everything we had seemed home made. Definitely go here

One of my favourite places to eat and drink in town. The food is delicious, drinks are prepared well, and the service is always friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended!

First visit to Papi s but won t be our last! Cool little place, clean and modern, friendly staff, all make for a warm welcome. The menu is modest - I like that, means they specialize and play to their strengths. 4 of us .two tried the Grilled Cheese and Homemade tomato soup and gave it rave reviews. My burger was outstanding, one of the best I ve ever had. The homemade bun was so fresh and added that extra flavour to put it over the top. To top it off, the prices are extremely reasonable for homemade quality. Looking forward to going back!

Great place for dinner. Will definitely return. Good service.

Fairly priced. Great atmosphere. Awesome customer service. Seating was a little tight with a couple big groups at long tables against the wall. Had the burger, was pretty decent, patty could use a bit of love. Other than that everything was pretty great. Vegetarian options: There are a good amount of vegetarian options Parking: Just normal downtown parking, could be tough to get a spot on a busy day downtown. Kid-friendliness: High chair available, kid friendly for sure

What a fabulous restaurant. Very friendly staff and beautiful decore. Food was fresh and delicious. Will definitely come again to explore more jems on the menu.

You must try their hamburgers and pizza, home made and delicious! My family had a great time there.

Great service, food was amazing, fresh ingredients!!

Food was solid, great servers, great atmosphere

Congratulations on your 1 year anniversary! An insider tip. Definitely try it out, really good. Gladly again. Vegetarian options: Very good pizza

John and staff are amazing My got to corner pub Food

Grilled cheese was amazing, aesthetically really nice, service was really good too. Steak was average.

Beautiful and newly renovated restaurant with filling portions, and our server was just amazing :)

Another reincarnation of a long-time restaurant that has operated under different names over many years. Very nice food - had the mushroom pizza and it was excellent - from a modest menu, served by attentive (but not intrusive) staff, with the owner keeping an eye on things to make sure the customers experience is up to expectations. Reasonable prices, good service, and excellent food, so yep: five stars for a really good dining experience. Hope Papis has a long successful run.

Fiance and I went again for supper and had a wonderful meal. The menu is fantastic and the daily specials are delicious. Will be going again!!

Love this place! You have to try the mac n cheese balls with the house made ketchup!

I recently enjoyed dinner and lunch. Great food and service both times. Nice to see consistency. We enjoyed a variety of dishes, everything was delish. The chef came out to see if we enjoyed our meals!! Everything is made in house. I would definitely recommend eating here Parking: There is also a free parking lot near by

Love the food and service every time :)

What a fun place. Truly a hidden jem that we just wandered into. The spicy pizza is delicious and the Cesar salad made with anchovies rocks. Great beer menu. Loretta our server was friendly fast and you can tell she enjoys her job. I will be back.

Food was absolutely delicious, service was excellent Spicy Pizza was very good, Gnocchi in truffle sauce was excellent the special for the night Food

Highly recommend! Loved everything about this place and Papi s mojitos are unmatched. Delicious food.

This was our favourite dinner outing, while we recently vacationed in the area of Owen Sound, so glad we noticed the signs and went in, while we walked around town. Very stylish, and tastefully designed space (loved that!), appropriate for all ages, suitable for a conversation, discreet music, very pleasant and relaxed atmosphere, excellent service, lovely owner and tasty meals. We tried the Lentil Shepherds Pie and Mediterranean Pasta plus salads. It has been just over a year since they have opened the restaurant and I wish them to continue to thrive and to be part of Owen Sounds appeal. I would encourage you to visit them for a very enjoyable experience. Vegetarian options: The Lentil version of the Shepherds Pie was a very pleasant surprise to me.

Wow.......... Setup is really nice... The people are really nice Food : 5/5

Great food, service and atmosphere. I highly recommend this restaurant. Must get the burger and cauliflower bites. 11/10!

Perfect little place for a bite and cold drink

Lovely atmosphere great staff excellent food

Fantastic restaurant. So beautifully decorated and pristine! Loved the atmosphere and the food was amazing! Fresh ingredients and homemade ingredients. You can tell they use quality ingredients and nothing is prepackaged or standard. It s homemade dough, bread and it was all amazing! Loved the monkey bread, the buffalo cauliflower bites and there pizzas are OUTSTANDING! Highly recommend and we will definitely be back!

Very nice environment. Food is delicious and affordable.

Excellent place to gather for an awesome meal with great service! I go there often.

41/2 for everything, it was lovely. They allowed us to sit and talk after a meal was completed. Thankyou

We checked Google reviews and we thought it s a very cool place to eat from the pictures. The ambiance was great, beautiful decorations, nice staff, the only thing was the food that seemed not ok. We had a burger which to my opinion didn t have any seasoning or spices and a pizza, which was very ordinary. I had a white Sangria for drink, which was nothing special.

Pizza could have been cooked more. Ingredients were sliding off and the bottom crust was a little to sift.

It was delicious. Loved it.

We had a wonderful meal with great service. I would highly recommend. Food

Excellent meal and service. Will be back!

I took my wife here for a dinner date food and drinks are amazing the owner served me personally and was great! The pizza is amazing beats any place in the area!

Amazing experience! The food, atmosphere and service was amazing! 10/10 recommend.

My husband and I just went there for the first time tonight with our son and daughter in-law. We will definitely be back, everything from the atmosphere, food and service was a 5 star experience.

Amazing, friendly service. Authentic food. Best Caesar salad I ve had since Florence! Will be back every time I m in town :)

We looked everywhere for a certain pizza, no luck in town at all. A light went off and I thought oh I bet Papis can make it..sure enough, without hesitation he was more than willing to help us out. It isnt even on the menu, but he had no problem making it for us. Customer service at its finest, small business for the win !! Will definitely be back, and will tell everyone we know !

Only place in town to get a pizza with anchovies on it, and good pizza at that!

Had a great meal here, spoke with the owner who was really nice. They are extending hours on the weekends, so go check it out if you havent already. We had pizza and Caesar salad and both were excellent.

Great pizza and their house salad is very good.

The service was perfect and the food was delicious.

Went for the first time today location is good we walked from home , restaurant is very open but lovely decorations and such. Servers are lovely and accommodating I had the creamy spinach s chicken , garlic mashed potatoes with carrots , the chicken at first bite was lovely , I was trying to dip my chicken into the butter and garlic around it but once that was gone the chicken was bland just the spinach on outside but zero taste inside the mashed potatoes were my favourite the carrots were too sweet , not my taste. My hubby had the burger and he was very disappointed it had raw cucumber and pickled red onion and mixed lettuce , he didn t want the chili mayo but there was no condiments at all, so he used the ketchup for the fries to put on it .. didn t help it was a sweet taste as he said very off putting It s not our cup of tea .. but there might be others that like this taste

The food was amazing and the staff great. The owner even came over to our table. Limited menu at the moment, as they just opened. Our spicy pizza was perfect with a nice thin crust. They plan on adding a burger and a pasta dish over the next couple weeks. Will have to go back an try those. The ambiance is nice.

Great new place for family and friends! We got the spicy pizza and cauliflower bites that maple sriracha dipping sauce is too good! Great beers on tap and a warm atmosphere, John and Mel are awesome, wish you guys the best in your new venture. Check out Papi s everyone!

WOW - Food is amazing, I cannot wait to return and try another pizza, took the kids and they loved the cheese pizza, we tried the bites and pretzels and both are top notch !!!!! Great place

Very nice selection of brews on tap, cans or bottles; limited wine offerings. Enjoyed the Chicken Caesar Wrap, one with salad and one with fries. A plentiful serving for each. A nice fresh ambiance. We will return to sample other items on the menu. Thank you Melissa for the friendly service.

Everyone is so nice. And they went above and beyond to make sure we had an amazing experience. Will definitely be coming back. So yum

Lovely interior, really nice service and owners, and amazing food (the burgers were fully house made from buns to patties). Make sure to try the house made donuts!

Super-delicious food and gorgeous interior. We had such a great time here. Burger buns are housemade as well and sooo good. And the dessert! Donuts are amazing, highly recommend to try them as well.

From the moment you walk in, your made to feel like your at home. The staff is fantastic, and the food just tops it off! Highly recommend..

Nice authentic pizza!!

Went for a date night here and the food was delicious and so were the drinks! Friendly staff and great environment. Will definitely be back!

Pizza I can get anywhere hamburger too not a fan

Delicious pizza and cauliflower so happy we found this place on our trip wonderful service.

Super thrilled about our new restaurant in the heart of Owen Sound! Incredible beer selection of Ontario Crafts in a cozy environment and exceptional food for us adults and children! Papi s is the place to be especially NFL Sundays!!!

Papi s is a wonderful new restaurant in downtown Owen Sound. Great family atmosphere and friendly efficient staff. The Mediterranean Pasta was fresh and delicious. We are looking forward to our next dining experience @ Papi s

Excellent choice for a local restaurant! The Fajita Pizza was amazing and so was the burger made with meat from a local butcher! Staff was super friendly! Great atmosphere for just opening!

Really enjoyed our night at Papis. The garden salad with lemon poppyseed dressing, chicken bites, and pepperoni pizza were excellent! Cant wait to come back and discover the rest of the menu.

Great place and staff super friendly. Worth trying

Really nice decor and a great place to eat and drink - even if they (misguidedly) allow Packers fans in. But with awesome pizza and burgers, those Packers fans get to see what winning tastes like at least once in their lives.

Great food and drink options. Owner has some great ideas for the place. Cant wait for NFL Sundays!

Simplicity and a natural smile, are the name of the game. Food was simple, healthy and tasty Started with tomato soup with french toast. Continued with poached bass. Ended with Creme brulee. Everything was perfect. Service was done with a smile and gentle humor. Great place.

Great atmosphere and delicious food. We had our faves, pizza and salad. Papis pizza is homemade, delicious crust and perfect amount of toppings. If you havent been yet give it a try! Wishing much success to the owners of this great addition to the downtown.

Delicious! Went for lunch, group of 10, the food was amazing. Fresh and fast and lovely costumer service! Great selection of beer and drinks. Great for a date and great for a family dinner.

Pepperoni pizza is ok. Caesar salad is not fresh and bread crumbs are not crunchy at all. Pasta is tasteless. The rice in porched fish is not well cooked.

Great food and a fantastic atmosphere

Best pizza in Owen Sound!

We ve been urged by a friend to try and/or join them at Papi s. Today we came for lunch and we were pleasantly surprised. Papi s is a new must try in Owen Sound. We re planning on coming for dinner soon.

I took the kids here for dinner the other week, the kids and I absolutely loved the pizza, the garlic sticks/bread and Cesar salad. I had ordered the burger, fries and gravy. I was a little let down by the burger patty. The presentation was nice, but the patty itself was a little dry and under seasoned (which happens when the smashed patty gets over smashed) it wasnt terrible by any means. I will order it and try it again. Given the price point for the meal, the large serving was perfect, however it slightly missed the mark due to the patty. The menu is small at the moment which is to be expected with a new restaurant, but the selection of whats available is quality. I look forward to trying more things on the menu. The atmosphere was great! the hosts were very accommodating. Overall I would rate my experience as a 4.5/5 stars. I will be back with the family

Great place to relax and have a good home cooked meal. Tomato soup was nice and hot, tea came in a pot!!! No processed food here. Home made burger too. Parking: On street parking Kid-friendliness: Happy toddler sitting at another table.

Hands down, Thee Best customer service. Owners are salt of the earth kinda people! Food is ALL MADE IN HOUSE, even right down to the burger buns! I cannot say enough good things about this place.

Had an excellent experience at Papi s. Pizza and service was great. Owner and waitress were very friendly. Will be sure to go there again, next time we are in Owen Sound.

Great restaurant with service that makes you feel like family. Incredible burger, delicious Ceasar salad and my daughter has to get the pretzel bites every time.

Great place, delicious food & great staff

Loved it! Started with a great Amaretto sour cocktail by Papi himself! Homemade dressing with the salad and their FABULOUS unique mushroom pizza was impressive and yummy! Finished with a spectacular creme brulee (and a sensible bill)! We will be back for sure! Visit this amazing staffed (only 6 mths old) restaurant right downtown Owen Sound. What a great night out! BTW...make a reservation or call ahead, as we happily had to sit by the comfy bar on Friday because all the tables were booked.
