Papps Bar & Grill in Westfield, MA at Barnes Munical Airport is a place I have been wanting to visit for quite some time.

On Saturday night Susan and I had a great meal there.

We started with cocktails. An Old Fashioned for me and a Pinot Noir for Susan. Our server, Megen, was outstanding throughout our visit; attentive with a smile.

Then we had calamari which was delivered by Chef John Slattery. We told him this was our first visit and he welcomed us and made us feel right at home. And the calamari was outstanding! Tender. Light. And crispy! Served with a delicious tomato sauce.

Here is Susan feeling rather happy:

Susan had a “Salmon Burger.” She is stickler for delicious salmon and she said her “burger” was excellent; it was a salmon fillet.

I had the Pulled Pork dinner which was outstanding. Flavorful and just a hint of heat. I won’t even bother writing about the homemade steak fries and homemade coleslaw. Let’s just say “WOW!”

And as we ate our dinner, look to what our wondering eyes appeared right outside our window!

And this:

Next time we visit we plan to have a few cocktails on the rooftop deck. And maybe enjoy dinner up there, too!

Look at this view of Mt Tom in the distance!

We loved it so much we would go back today but I am making meatballs and homemade tomato sauce! Obviously, Susan and I recommend Papps Bar & Grill!
