" A delightful dining experience! From the moment we walked into Pappageorge's, we were greeted with warmth by the staff. We ordered a variety of appetizers including the calamari and bruschetta, which were both great! For my entrée, I opted for the chicken parmesan, and it was fantastic—crispy, delicious, and packed with flavor. The portion was generous enough to take home leftovers, which I appreciated. I quickly found out why this place is so popular! " (*Curated Review*)

" This is an excellent restaurant! The food was well-prepared, and most importantly, it wasn't overly salty or greasy—such a relief! I had the grilled walleye, which tasted fantastic. The atmosphere of Pappageorge’s is warm and vibrant, making it a fantastic choice for family gatherings. Our server was efficient, and the kitchen was quick. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a restaurant in Mankato! " (*Curated Review*)

" We visited Pappageorge's last weekend and had a genuine feast! Starting with the calamari, which was crispy and tender, went perfectly with the marinara dip. Then, I ordered the steak, which was cooked just right, juicy and flavorful! It's noteworthy to mention the late-night menu was also a selling point for us. The service was generally very good, although we experienced a short wait while our meals were being prepped. Overall, I would highly recommend this place for anyone looking for delicious food and a cozy atmosphere. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a great meal at Pappageorge’s! It’s a warm and inviting place with a friendly staff that immediately makes you feel at home. I had the ribs that were tender and falling off the bone, and my friend had the special seafood chowder which she couldn’t stop raving about. One downside is parking, which can be tricky during peak times. However, it’s worth the hassle for the food and service you receive. I would definitely recommend this place to any food lover looking for hearty meals! " (*Curated Review*)

Our server was attentive without being intrusive, which we really appreciated. The prices are fair, especially considering the quality. I highly recommend Pappageorge's for anyone looking for a hearty, satisfying meal close to home. " (*Curated Review*)

" I just had the most wonderful dining experience at Pappageorge’s tonight! The ambiance was warm and family-friendly. I ordered the shrimp pasta, which was beautifully seasoned and served in a hearty portion. Every member of our party raved about their meals. The service was delightful; our waiter was attentive and seemed genuinely concerned about our satisfaction. We left full and happy with plans to come back soon. I truly believe Pappageorge’s is Mankato’s best-kept secret! " (*Curated Review*)

" The experience at Pappageorge’s was quite enjoyable, although not without its drawbacks. The restaurant was busy, and we had to wait for a table despite our reservation, which was disappointing. Once seated, the staff were friendly and our server was attentive. I ordered the wild mushroom ravioli and it was delicious, rich with flavor and perfectly cooked. The only downside was the noise level in the dining area; it was hard to hear at times. Overall, I think it’s worth checking out but make sure you secure your reservation in advance!
