This place was so yummy! Good spot to go for a little lunch date. The price is a little high, but you definitely get what you pay for.

This was my first time here and the food and service was great! The bottomless mimosas were amazing and will definitely have you feeling good. We had fast service and were attended to the entire time. We met Chef Arthur and he was an amazing Person, and it shows he cares about the food he serves to his customers. The atmosphere was awesome and very welcoming! I will definitely be back again! More...

When I tell you this is the best brunch experience in La'Verne would be an understatement. The establishment has a nice open floor plan. This allows for a ton of natural lighting which sets the mood for your active Saturday or down shifted Sunday. The drink choice with the unlimited mimosas are truly unique. I don't want to give away too much but the choices are truly innovative. [We had the watermelon mint and blueberry cantaloupe] Paired with their robust flavored shrimp and grits (highly recommended). My party had the fried chicken in which they swear by. A big thumbs up to the executive director Arthur great this menu is perfectly curated! More...

Great place! Nice and hipster ambience and the food was good I got the breakfast burrito and michelada and was well over satisfied with both. The michi was tasty and perfectly carbonated while the burrito was flavorful and crunchy. Everything was great and the staff were super friendly, attentitve and amazing. I would come back again. Only thing is we we're a party of 7 and their policy was parties of 8 or more is an automatic 18% tip. They told us because we reserved for 8 people that they added the charge which is silly because that's not what their menu states. I expect to pay 18% to the server because they had the stress of serving 8 people. That was the rule I assumed and the meal was a bit pricey already but besides that the experience was good. More...

It wasn't until when my friend mentioned it that I realize the word "potatoes" (in Spanish) is literally in their name! Pappas Artisanal is nestled the corner of downtown La Verne, sharing the building with several other tenants. The restaurant isn't the easiest to find since you don't see large signage of the restaurant. There are also 90 minute street parking, or 3 hours if you're willing to walk a bit. University of La Verne also has a parking lot where you can park for free for unlimited hours during weekends. We had to wait until at least half our party is here before we can get seated, since it is a rather small restaurant, reasonable. Do note that they have a different menu during weekday and weekends, which was slightly disappointing since I eyed an item on the weekday menu, but came on a Sunday! I ended up ordering the Dad's Hash, and my friends the Chicken & French Toast. The food came relatively quickly and everything seemed fresh! The portions were massive and none of us finished our food. I really liked their corn beef and caramelized onions on the dad's hash. Their chicken & french toast seemed great too; interestingly they used giant pieces of boneless chicken for their chicken & french toast. The food was definitely filling and on the heavier side. For the price you pay, the quality and quantity is really not bad! They even give you the option to add $15 to turn up and get bottomless mimosas! Definitely recommend this spot to locals who are nearby the area! More...

Every year, I wait to go to the LA County Fair just so i'm able to go to Pappas Artisanal (located by the barn area, where the chickens and rabbits are at) so I can get a wood fire pizza! I've never had a wood fire pizza before Pappas Artisanal! Honestly, I didn't even know that the wood fire pizza spot, where my bf and I go to every year, is called Pappas Artisanal!!!I am actually pretty upset at myself for not knowing and I am a local!!!When we came here to try out the brunch, I wondered why the logo was a wood fire... like how is that related to Pappas Artisanal?As I looked into it further, I then realized that other people have posted about the LA County Fair wood fire pizza, and that's when it hit me! It's a local favorite!I initially came here to try the brunch out. We ordered the Chicken and Waffles, and the American Breakfast. My American breakfast was okay. I thought it was a pretty dish but it was like any ordinary breakfast that you can make at home. The Chicken and Waffles, however, was pretty darn good to me! It was very salty at first, without the syrup, but I like salty and sweet so the syrup made it all that much better! The wait time to have our order taken and to wait for our food was tremendously long. I don't ever expect to wait past 15 minutes for our food to arrive, and we sat there for over 45 minutes. Nonetheless, I will return to get pizza!!! More...

I decided to give it a try.My waiter Chris was extremely friendly and made it very easy for me to decide but simply talking about what they offered as well as what he recommended.I got the special for today which was Grilled cheese & tomato Bisque, I also added carnitas to my sandwich.It was absolutely delicious !

We have been coming here for a few years now and we're sad to hear that they had switched owners a year or so back. The menu has changed some as well as the ambience, but the OG chef from before (who also used to make the best breakfast items at Grizzby's in Claremont) is still here. He gets down in the kitchen. One item I get every time I get here is the toast and jam and as simple as it sounds the jam here is the shit! Worth the $3 and the portions are large enough to share, plus they're okay with you bringing in coffee or drinks from the coffee shop next door. Today the food was mediocre (sorry guys), but the potatoes were over cooked, the omelette was runny and the cheese wasn't melted. The waitstaff, well they could improve for sure. Will return because we like this place overall. More...

Bacon-Swiss Pancakes & Shrimp & Grits were BOMB!! They have such a great menu, everything I've tried has always been delicious & comforting. I'm not a fan of swiss cheese but this worked so well for me, especially with that spicy syrup. The shrimp and Grits were out of this world delicious, perfectly seasoned, creamy and again sooo comforting! Tip: Order the bottomless mimosas with their agua fresca BACON-SWISS // two fluffy buttermilk pancakes, with pork belly bacon chunks, swiss cheese and scallions cooked inside served with spicy maple syrup on the side, added two eggs sunny side up.SHRIMP AND GRITS // Chef Arthur's southern styled grits cooked with cheddar cheese, topped with cajun shrimp, two poached eggs, garnished with scallions.

I'll be absolutely honest and say that I forced myself to like this place because the food always looks so amazing. I'm writing this review after my third trip here and want to be as honest as possible. The food here is very good. The first trip, we had the fried chicken and waffles for brunch with the bottomless mimosas and a breakfast pizza. It was absolutely amazing, though the service was a bit slow.Our second trip was a bit of a cluster @$#!, if we're being honest. We put our names down on a list to be seated and the host was very annoyed with people being there and waiting. While standing at the front, we heard a table have multiple complaints, so we decided to just leave and not eat there. I'm chalking it up to an off day overall.Today was our third trip and it was starting off slow service wise, but turned around very quickly. My boyfriend ordered the breakfast burrito and I ordered the chilaquiles; the chilaquiles were legit just chips with grilled chicken and toppings tossed on top, not the norm. Or at least what I expected. I was probably a pain and sent them back to switch it would for the delicious breakfast burrito with their pork belly. Order that, it's so good. And our server Chelsea was too kind to adjust the bill for us. She was extremely friendly and sweet too when we were talking a bit about her tattoos.Overall, the food is solid, the venue is very cool, the bottomless mimosas always are being refilled (huge points for that), and I believe there is something for everyone on their menu.

I came in for brunch on Sunday and this place is awsome. Me and my friends had the bottomless mimosas, 15$ for all you can drink and I had the special of the day. The dads skillet. It was damn good. The service was great. We had refills even before we asked and the atmosphere was good, a nice mix of people just enjoying the place. The one thing I dont get is how all these yelpers are saying bad things about how its gone down hill since the new owners took over. They changed the menu and the themes. Yes. But at one point the old owners sold just pizza and tacos. So I will take any of the new owners menu over the previous one any time. Overall, this place is awsome. Great food, good vibes, even better drinks and beer and a awsome staff. Check this place out. More...

I love pappas artisanal!! The food is amazing and it's one of my favorite brunch places near Claremont! My favorite dishes for brunch are the omelet, breakfast pizza, and fried chicken and French toast. The omelet is super tasty and packed with ingredients. The potatoes are also really tasty! Breakfast pizza is amazing and hits the spot. It's super loaded and an awesome item to share with the table. Fried chicken and French toast is a classic! They had a special for a while that was a fried chicken skillet and that was one of the best things I've ever had for brunch. Definitely check out the specials board. One of the only bad things is how busy pappas gets on the weekends. Wait can be up to and over an hour if you go at peak times on the weekends, so definitely make sure you get there early if you don't like to wait. Staff is friendly but a little slow. Food is great though so definitely try it out! Also psa - pappa's has a food truck that's at events and breweries and the food truck is normally pretty good! More...
