Reviews for Papa's American Cafe in Mason City, IA
The Philly Steak Sandwich is nasty! Had to take what they called “Prime Rib off the bun and cut up. Was next to impossible to... cut with a steak knife. Could not even chew this meat. This was the second try at this place. I’ve endured a lot of militaryand hospital food this place rates well below for food! Read more
It was good. Personal tvs at every booth. Good food although my hamburger bun disintegrated halfway through my meal LOL.
We went on a Saturday around 6pm. They sat us in the back by the projection screen because we had 8 people so it was kind of... dark (due to the projector I'm guessing). It wasn't overly loud in there but it seemed like it was hard to hear your ownconversation like everything was echoing, which was kind of annoying, but expected on a Saturday night. They had a lot of TVswith different games on including the Hawkeyes game on the projection screen????. The food was ok, they had big portions and theservice was good also. Read more

Food was good. The service was subpar, while I know that the service is slow due to short staffing, there were people who... ordered after my table that got their food before we did and we had to ASK TWICE for our first and only drink refill (edit) andwe finally asked ANOTHER server for a couple boxes and the bill.

Good lunch stop. I was seated promptly and the waitress took my drink order. The main waitress was very nice and friendly. She... recommend several options for what locals eat and I picked the French dip. Food came hot and ready to eat. The sandwich was verygood and I highly recommend it. The stop was good and I would recommend a visit and this sandwich. Read more
