Papa's And Grill - Malden

2nd Edit: Owner rechecked the cameras and admitted I was there, and apologized. While it is impossible to gauge sincerity over a yelp message, I figured I 'd at least mention it if that remedies concern for other people. Edit: owner bizzarely and rudely tried to gaslight me telling me to delete the review because they checked the cameras and are claiming I never came in. Unlikely, since my airbnb is on west street a few hundred yards away, and I drove by to confirm. What 's funny is if they reached out without the attitude I would be more than willing to accommodate a compromise. Can 't fault her panic though, based on how crowded it was, I 'd be worried about my business reputation too... Original review: In town for business staying at an AirBnB nearby. Looked up the closest bar so I could get a burger and beer and found my way here after a short walk. As I approach the building I look at the parking lot which was near completely empty walk in at around 9:30-10pm on a Saturday. Confused, I check and see it 's open until 2, so i walk in. The place was near empty with only 5 people in it, all who looked to be regulars. After I sit down and ask if the kitchen was open (since it looked like the place was about to be closed down, despite it only being 9:30ish) the bartender rudely/sarcastically says, it 's been closed for awhile sweetie , as if that was an unrealistic expectation or that I should have known the details of this small bar in some small town. I then ask for a drink and she looks at me and said we don 't take out of state ids . Look, outside the fact that I 'm 30, I get being skeptical, but most well run places would ask for a 2nd form of ID just to confirm. Still, it wouldn 't have bugged me if she didn 't say it so accusatory or loudly explain it to the other patrons as I walked out like she was some fbi agent who just caught one of the biggest criminals of all time. Like lady, let 's be real. If I were a local who was underage and just wanted to get drunk would I really want to be getting drunk at a bar that was completely dead with literally 6 people in it (all over the age of 50)? Do you think college kids with fakes would be like yeah, let 's go to the pub with the 55 year old bartender with busted teeth and no music instead of downtown Boston? Get real and get over yourself. Went to shanghai moon down the street and tipped their bartender (who had all his teeth) 50%.

I have not eaten Papa's in well over a decade until the other afternoon. At one time Papa's was a staple in our weekly diet. I had a cheeseburger that was dry and almost un-edible. I left half of it uneaten which is rare for me. My buddy had a cheeseburger asking for it to be cooked medium rare. It was served overcooked and charred. They took his off the bill but the meal was ruined. Won't be eating here again.

Cant give a star, been in Malden a long time and never heard of this place. Just read they are closed??

No hear, cash only. Only people in there were the drunk regulars, they sit and scream yell and swear to the top of their lungs. The food was horrid. I will never go back here again

These folks are fantastic. I got take out on a Saturday night. They said 20 minutes and that was what it was. They were so nice. I didn't have the menu in front of me and was asking recommendations. For the seafood plate..fried and yummy. Tarter sauce for the seafood was very good. Burgers with fries for the kids .. Very good. Lemon pepper wings for the low carb hunny..fantastic. I'll be back!!
