Papa's And Beer, Simpsonville

Jalepeno poppers were cold inside. However the shrimp with sautéed vegetables was fresh and well seasoned. Side salad crispy and fresh. Dressing delicious. Plenty of food excellent prices. Wait staff kind and attentive. Will be going again. If poppers were hot would have given food 5 stars

It was my wife’s and I first time eating in papas and beer. We had a pleasantly amazing dinner. The first thing I noticed is how crowed and busy it was. Must be worth it if it gets so busy for a waitlist for 2 people ! The food was good but the service was amazing. Our waitress Rosary let us know that she was very busy and she’ll do the best she can to give us good service. Despite that, she was very attentive and friendly with us. She was on point and I didn’t even have to ask for a few things. She would read my mind ! Overall good food and great service.

You definitely get your money's worth the food is amazing!

Something changed. I've eaten there for years and since I usually don't like fish but have slowly found that I liked this place's fish, thus it's the ONLY place I go to get fish. I've enjoyed all their food, trying different dishes, until my last few visits. My companions, who also use to love this place, noticed the changes as well. Today, the food was LOADED in salt so badly that I couldn't eat my food. After trying to eat it because I didn't want to waste my money, and getting about 1/4 eaten I gave up. The salt was burning my mouth and so overwhelming I could not taste the food. It's now been 6 hours and I still keep chugging water because my mouth feels parched. My tongue feels withered like dry mouth. Not only was the food over salted but even the different salsas that we usually enjoy were packed with salt. For fun, I checked my blood pressure and no kidding it's up. That may be a coincidence but I have no way to tell for sure and I just got curious since I keep a check on my blood pressure every morning and night. I'll see how it looks tomorrow. That aside, my friend got the fish plate that we love so much (we go there specifically for that plate) but I noticed the fish, which is usually a nice fillet, all one piece, with reddish spices rubbed on top, and perfectly cooked on a large bed of veggies with a generous portion of avacado, was instead a mangled unidentifiable mess of overly charred fish with no spices. It appeared to have stuck to the grill and burned along the edges. I tasted hers because we were so shocked but there was only a heavy salt flavor and plenty of char if you like that burnt taste. There was only about 1/2 the normal amount of veggies that we usually get and one small sliver of avacado. They wanted to charge more money if we wanted a few more slices of avacado. The beans were so salty I just gave up. My previous visit, I brought the beans home and tried rinsing them under running water to remove the salt but had to toss in the trash because the salt flavor was still overwhelming. The rice was still tasty for the most part, but now they do some fancy molded shape with it, that I guess is supposed to make me ignore the overly salted food because it is supposed to look fancier than just spooning some onto the plate like they use to. Salt is meant to compliment or bring out flavor not overwhelm it and make my mouth burn after eating several bites. If it were just me, then I would assume I was having a taste bud malfunction but my friends and I have spent hundreds of dollars, maybe more, eating there and other papas and beers over the years. We usually choose this N. Main Simpsonville location because it had the absolute best fish, food, salsa, etc over the other local papas and beers. We seriously pass greenville and mauldin locations to drive to this location because of their cook and food quality. You can see by their thousands of reviews and good ratings how good this locations has been in the past, but now after our last few visits, something has definelty changed. The cook? I don't know but we aren't going back. I wish I had taken a photo to show the mangled charred fish with no flavor. Oh wait, it had flavor, it tasted like salt and char!!!

Very good food and affordable. Fast as always and everything tastes good.
