Papa Joe's - Bern

My first time at Papa Joe in Bern. Went there for my Friends Birthday last Saturday. Beautifully decorated but a little bit dissappointed with everything else. Been to other Papa Joe's before. Nothing to complain. The Location looks very good and well decorated. The Toilet smells very bad. It stinks of pee like it hasnt been clean for months. I went there to wash my hands but couldnt stay longer than a couple sec. The chrispy Chicken Wings we got served was all almost completely burned /overcooked darkbrown/black. We didn't want to throw it away or complain then but for the price we have paid i should have complained. It shouldn't have been served in the first place when it looks almost black. Other than that the Fries and other Food we have ordered were well done and delicious. The Panache should have been half/half but it was very little to almost no beer in it. I like sweet but 8.50 for a little sweet soda with so little beer was too much. So that could be improved as well. Sorry but this is an honest review.

Interesting looking restaurant inside with lots of North American culture decorations. The look isn’t my cup of tea, but it was well executed. The food was delicious, the ribs are melting in your mouth and I cannot recommend them enough.

The ambience is great, but unfortunately the food is also a bit expensive for what you get.

Partner wanted to check this place out and I reluctantly went. I was surprised by the level of dedication to the theme (posters, trinkets etc) and felt nostalgic of all the faux Mexican places I ate at in college! Ordered the veggie quesadilla which is probably healthier than what I'd get in the US- not complaining! It was delicious and a decently sized portion. Despite the dinner rush we were served relatively quickly and the staff were really nice!! This place is a vibe, worth going!

Bad welcome, bad food. (everything is frozen and just reheated in the microwave). Bad service and no joy of living. No desire to finish the plates. Too expensive for what it is! To flee!
