Papa's Cafe & Country Elegance

Conspirator Kindness

Aptly named, as the fellow that greeted me when I walked in the door was probably in his mid 70s, as was my hostess, I believe maybe a husband and wife team, they were great. My waitress was friendly, there were two omelet options on the menu, cheese and everything I picked everything and man did it have everything . I don't know how they got it off the grill. Also ordered a large orange juice, that thing was at least 20 oz I've never seen an orange juice like it in a restaurant anywhere. (Look at the size of that glass next to the qrt jar.) The only thing I wasn't extremely fond of was the coffee, I could see through it. There was a haphazard collection of tables and chairs throughout which I thought was cool, decorated in Southern Country Charm for the most part. I wasn't too excited about the southern baptist radio station that was on but I probably sat too close to the radio itself. I would definitely drive the mile or two off the highway that it takes to get here again rather than eat at a chain restaurant. Good food, friendly folks, well priced.

First time in the quaint café. Decorated like grandma's kitchen in full southern charm. The staff was quick to greet me as I entered. When asked what she recommended she said "its all good" then told me the special of the day was loaded potato soup or meatloaf. I chose the soup and chicken salad sandwich combo for $8. Both were good, as promised. I live two hours away but will definitely be stopping back in if I'm down that way. Right off the I-81 exit, take a right at the light and you'll be there in 2 minutes. I hear they have specialty dinners on Friday nights.

This was my first time there. The food was good, the coffee was great, the people were nice. It's a charming place that just makes you feel like you need to come back again but you don't really know why. The only negative thing I'll mention is the bacon was insultingly thin. Nothing else was skimpy though and I was full in the end which is difficult to do for me. The prices were honestly lower than expected. After ordering the most expensive thing, plus coffee, plus an extra side I still spent $12 after tax AND tip. Overall I wouldn't fix anything that's not broken but if the owners are reading and open to suggestions, as a customer I'd happily pay 20% more across the menu to have thick cut bacon and a plate warmer in the kitchen. Still, you get 5 stars from me which is impressive as I'm a harsh breakfast critic.

Stopped in for breakfast on our road trip, and glad we did! This place is super cute. Everyone is so nice and everything we tried was delicious. Will definitely stop in again next time we’re in the area.

Great place with authentic atmosphere! We travelled to pigeon forge from nva and stopped at this pace for breakfast. Great home feel atmosphere, home made omelettes, very interesting decor. Loved it so much that on our way back stopped again.

Convenient little store. Can fax and make copies and pay bills. You can also grab a bite to eat before 3pm.

Very cluttered. The special took over 30 minutes to be served. The server could have used some people skills. I probably won't go back.
