    Was very excited to try this place, but the food was extremely salty. My friend got the mushroom grits, I got the fried chicken and biscuits with gravy. My chicken was so salty, I only had about two bites of it, and the gravy was so salty, I couldn’t add any of it to the dish. The biscuit was fine slightly dry but not bad. My friends mushroom grits probably would’ve been excellent if they weren’t so severely oversalted. Also tried one of the pancakes, it was dry not much flavor. And the cheesy hashbrowns were OK, I took one bite and that was more than enough. I don’t understand why people think the food here is so great. But oh well, to each their own!

    Another great experience at Paperboy! All of our food was absolutely delicious and loved the pancake we ordered for the table to share. Love the rooftop area and they were super dog friendly with my sweet boy.

    This was my first time eating at Paperboy, and it was a wonderful experience! We had a reservation, which I'm so glad I made. I was seated promptly and our server was friendly, kind, and gracious. Each staff member who assisted us, whether bringing drinks, condiments, or processing the check made the experience there seamless and welcoming! Many thanks to everyone who took care of us today. :)
