All of our organic meats + fish are cooked on our amazing outdoor grill with Mesquite Wood. Everything is cooked to order. We only have one grill with only so much space, so food can take longer than usual on nights with high volume. For some reason we are usually hit with very large groups which can slow us down and make the wait for tables longer than normal. You are very important to us and we want nothing more than to accommodate you and have the best time possible. Outdoor seating is available during the spring, summer and part of fall. There are MANY Places to sit at Pappy`s, but only certain areas to dine. Stroll around Pioneertown, sit out in our beer garden, or hang out and listen to music. Some of the shows are free some have a cover charge. We have Live Music every night we are open. All different genres. Check our events page and plan ahead. Remember..It`s only Rock~n~Roll..relax and enjoy! |
