View all feedback. What User doesn't like about Papa Mo's:
beautifully placed there, we had a few children in our group and the outside was perfect. the staff was nice and regularly checked in. unfortunately my eating really lacked; it was well presented, but was really disappointing in the aroma department. I ordered the caarage chicken and a side of the Slav, the huh was ok, but dry and cold and the Slav was just really weird that did not work aromen. I'd probably go back... View all feedback.
