Pappy Jacks Decatur, TX

We tried out the new Pappy Jacks in Decatur for a late lunch. The food was good "pub" grub. The menu has a great selection to choose from and the portions are very generous. The bar offers mostly beer, with some wines and a small choice of cocktails. The decor is fun, there's pool tables and plenty of seating. This would be a cool place to hang out for happy hours with a large group.

Pappy jacks downtown Decatur was a wonderful experience for us. We were greeted immediately with kindness by the hostess. She allowed us to sit wherever we felt comfortable even while having our two young children with us. Other places have sat us in the back and treated us as a nuisance. Being that the Pebble Beach PGA tournament was on, we wanted to sit in view of their large TV. I requested that they change the channel and they did without complaint. (You don’t always get that response in other places). Devan was our waiter and was extremely kind, professional, and most importantly, attentive. I believe this is a representation of wonderful leadership and management. We will leave restaurants with the best food if they have poor service, this place has both great food and service. I had

Had to brag about the food! I’ve eaten here several times now and my husband and I enjoyed! The menu has such variety! Some comfort and some healthier options. Chicken fried chicken and sides were perfect! Loved the chicken tender basket! My friend said best she’s ever eaten and I would have to agree. Tuesday they have a chicken tender special that is crazy good. The chicken quesadillas were packed full and yummy! The burger and fries amazing. Trying to remember everything we’ve tried! Service has been so much better since the first time, mainly because it was Christmas parade night, new staff etc. I would say 4.5 easily but mainly because staff shortage can make service hit or miss. Can’t wait to go back to try the phili cheese steak and the grilled chicken salad.

So I visited this place today Feb 1, 2026. I ordered chips and queso for the appetizer, and I was not that impressed. Though my CFS dinner was excellent and I enjoyed every bit of it. Our waitress Addison was on top of her game. We did not have to ask for anything. She was one of sweetest people I’ve had wait on me. With her attitude she will go along way in the service industry.

First time eating here. Food was well prepared. Was considerably cleaner than the old Fuzzys was. Our server, Liz, was delightful. We would eat here again. Edited to add what we ordered, and a photo. We had the catfish basket, and the Philly cheesesteak sandwich. Both were delicious.
