Papa's American Cafe - Mason City

Nice local sports bar. Good food with large selection. Iowa beer on tap. Dogs are allowed in patio.

Great place to eat , they have an awesome staff and pretty good food. My favorites are the taco salad and their jerk chicken sandwich!

Just a month away from the city, we found ourselves dining here 3-4 nights a week. The food is excellent, with a fantastic variety on the menu. The timing for the service of our orders is also very well managed. The highlight of the experience is definitely the waiting staff! Our absolute favorite was Maddy. I would give this place 10 stars if I could! We truly miss this level of hospitality and service. Highly recommended!

We decided to celebrate my partner's job search at Papa's. We each ordered different margaritas, which were delicious and reasonably priced considering their size and alcohol content. The portions of our meals were huge! I had a Chicken Greek salad while my partner opted for the 'Papa' burger. The waitstaff was attentive, although they could have been a bit more engaging. Overall, this is a fantastic local restaurant that we will definitely return to!

I had a great lunch break at this restaurant. I was seated immediately, and the waitress promptly took my drink order. The main waitress was friendly and pleasant. She recommended several local favorites, and I decided to try the French dip. The food arrived hot and ready to enjoy. The sandwich was delicious, and I highly recommend it. Overall, it was a fantastic stop, and I definitely suggest a visit for this sandwich!
