Nothing bad to say at all. Best garlic cheesey bread that I've had in a long time. Pizza was right up there as well although out was a little on the greasy side. Service was fast and friendly. The bar atmosphere is fun and comfortable. The pastas are a slightly pricey ranging up to $18, but pizza is well priced.

We had pizza and antipasto salad and a couple of beers. All was wonderful including our server. I would recommend Papa Lou's to anyone who likes pizza.

Smelled amazing the minute we walked in. Good service. Soup and fries were yummy. Pizza was good an very filling. Went with the family including 2yr old and a baby and did not feel uncomfortable as some pub/bars can make you feel unwelcome.

Loved the fun decor, great service...elevator for walking imapred to upstairs restrooms. Nice outdoor deck and indoor dining. Goid menu choices.

We showed up at 10:50am, they open at 11:00am. As we opened the back door to ask if they were open, we were warmly greeted and told "the kitchen will be reliable in ten minutes, let me get a table and a server for you, we can start you off with some drinks" our server, Nikki or Nicole, she was phenomenal!!! she was so friendly, even though she had probably just arrived...we go the fried zucchini for an appetizer, you should too! Both of our sandwiches were so tasty, wish we had gone back for dinner. The worst part of our meal was deciding which delicious thing to get!

We've eaten here twice and the pizza was the kind of pizza that you'll always crave. The staff was friendly and the restaurant had a cool vibe

Great food, friendly people

Always had excellent service and food at papa lous. They have some of the best pizza anywhere. I have been there in the summer and the off season. The staff and management have always been great. Some reviews seem like a table had a bad experience and they all rushed on here to complain. They have a very relaxed atmosphere and you can actually watch them stretch the pizza dough fresh for each order. Highly recommended.

My sister and I was visiting friends and went to Papa Lou's for dinner. The first night we went we had cheezy bread and then a pizza. It was delicious. We even went back the next night for more. Our server was great too and was very friendly. Matter of fact, we are planning another trip back up there and cannot wait to head over for some great pizza. Why does everyone have a problem with this place? First of all, it is a bar so if you don't like the atmosphere - DON'T GO. As for people with bad language - you can get that anywhere you go. I don't let a few idiots stop me from enjoying some good food.

The service was great, they werent overly busy but tables were full. Our waiter was nice...filled my water up whenever it was low, checked up on us often. My husband had a beer and another waiter had seen it was empty and came by to grab the glass asking if he needed another. A lot of the staff was like this, they worked well with eachother. We both ordered our own pizzas and they were great. I thought they were kinda pricey but I figured every place was like this in a small town. I was pleased overall.

Awesome atmosphere. I absolutely love the double decks and the swings at the bar are a really entertaining touch. We ordered the breaded zucchini and 2 sandwiches. I haven't had such delicious zucchini in a long time. My sandwich was the chicken toma and it was very filling and delicious. I would definitely suggest this to anyone in the area. For the area, this place is even reasonably priced!

We came here for dinner on a Friday night in March. Not a whole lot open in the area during the winter months but this was recommended to us from the women who works at the winery there in town.

Comfy Restaurant with good food...Tried the spaghetti with italian sausage. Better than expected and the sausage had great flavor. Service was quick and good. Worth going to for sure.

Great hours for those of us who have been out on the boat all day and have their eating schedule a little skewed (on a Thursday night they were serving full menu till 10 and pizza till 12)...and our Heap of Meat pizza was nothing short of incredible. Definitely recommend!

This place was highly recommended by our hotel and is clearly a popular spot for all sorts (adults, families, couples).

Nice restaurant. Good pizza

Papa Lou's has great pizza and cold beer. It is great after a long day of skiing or adventuring through downtown Petoskey.

Great time. Good pizza and great selection of craft beer. The server was attentive and friendly. This is a popular place.

The upstairs does have a great view and the pizza is delicious! The pizza was very fresh and not greasy at all.

In Petosky for a sports event, Papa Lou's came recommended by another family on the team. We ended up eating their twice in one weekend because we liked it so much. The first time we left the kid behind with the rest of the team and got a table on the outside deck upstairs with a view of Little Traverse Bay. We shared an order of wings with orange ginger glaze followed by their chicken and bacon pizza. Both were very good and even better was that Papa Lou's carries a nice selection of Michigan wines from local vintners.
