Reviews for The Original Papa Joe's Restaurant in Chicago Ridge, IL

On last week I purchased an Italian beef and an order of fries. The Italian beef was succulent as it exceeded my expectations.... On the other hand, I was given fries that were prepared upon opening. They were totally inedible. I was quite disappointed ???? Read more

Great pizza. It was really good. Servers were very attentive and funny. Mixed drinks were generous and my niece smashed her... burger, absolutely loved it. Free parking with alot of space. If you do slots, they have them too off in a nice little area notright in your face. Fun place. Read more

We had friends over and ordered the chicken tetrazzini. We also ordered the Italian sausage and peppers. Everything was very... good. Order came on time and very friendly service. Read more

I had a funeral luncheon here a few years ago and everything was excellent. Recently I catered food for a graduation party. ... Food arrived a little EARLY (pleasant surprise) and piping hot. I was disappointed that the Vesuvio Potatoes I ordered were in abrown gravy, I expected olive oil and Italian spices. I called the next day and was told that their Vesuvio recipe is a rusticbrown and garlic, although they were good, when I placed the order I was not told there were 2 types, nor was a choice shown onthe catering sheet I received. They asked what they could do, I told them I wanted left overs for a Father's Day Barbecue (thenext day) and they asked if they could DELIVER a half pan of the traditional Vesuvio style potates, complimentary!! They camequickly, were piping hot again and delicious. They were friendly and great to deal with. Will definitely use them again. Read more

So after reading reviews on The Original Papa Joe's I thought I would give it a try. Now almost every review I read was for... dinning in and that might have been the issue. I looked up there menu on There wedsite and placed my order. " I'll get back tothat" Was greeted nice on the phone Ordered Create your pasta Capellini and vodka sauce, 2 meat balls, garlic bread, Mozzarellabites, soup, and tiramisu, I was told 30mins if I pick up or 40mins if I have them deliver. I normally just pick it up buttoday I said ok deliver it. 1st issue, didn't get my food till 1hr and 10mins later after I had to call and find out where itwas! I received my order and we'll the pasta was still warm Not hot!! The mozzarella was ok again warm not hot, the garlic breadI couldn't even eat as it was So hard like someone placed in a microwave after Frozen and reheated it, A waste of money! Themeatballs were still Cold in the Center! The tarimasu which for the price is Very small as you can see and tasted like it's beensitting in a fridge for a long time! The sides of it which should be fresh was like rubber! I know you can't expect foreverything to be perfect when you order take out but it should be FRESH since this is one of the things they pride themselveson!! this was just bad! The Pasta was the ONLY thing that was ok! So I spent $42 for pasta WTH! and as I said at the beginningI'll get back to the menu. Well turns out the prices on there Web page which is there menu are not correct either evidently theydon't update there Web menu I've attached a screenshot straight from there site and a picture of the one I was given whendelivered. I get prices go up and it's not much but it would have been nice to know! Not sure I can recommend this place? Maybeit's better there but not sure I would spend the money again to find out.
