    Before, if you told me we are eating at Paper Planes, I would be quite puzzled. Why? It's a bar with bar food. Boy am I wrong! I can't stop thinking about their truffle fries and wings now. Fries are perfectly crisp and well seasoned. The wings are hot and super crispy. I have been to Paper Planes for their drinks countless of times but only 3 times for the food. But the last two times have been extremely memorable. The only thing I dislike is trying to flag down a bartender to just order the food. But overall, quick delivery, fresh tasting, and nice service.

    I came here twice for their Tuesday Prime Rib $19.99 with a drink purchase. 6-8oz Prime rib was delicious with a side of corn, mashed potatoes, horseradish and au jus. This is a fantastic way to relax on a Tuesday evening. Cocktails selection is HUGE. They are handcrafted and very creative. I only wished the steaks were bigger. Service is extremely nice and fast. You'll have to order by walking up the bar and you'll get a number for the buzzers to deliver food your way. They have an outside patio to enjoy outside. The bar can get loud. 21+ only, so leave the kiddos at home. They have a bouncer in front. Inside is really clean and decorative. Eat and drink merrily here.

    They had me at weekend happy hour! We stopped by before a show at the performing arts center. We arrived shortly after they opened at 5pm on Saturday night. The place filled up within 30 minutes. I see why. Immediately upon arrival, I placed our order at the bar and found a spacious booth. Our food and drinks were ready within ten minutes of sitting down. The staff were efficient and friendly. The wings were so yummy! Piping hot, flavorful, crunchy on the outside and moist on most on the inside. Empanadas were also delish. Weekend happy hour drink are always a bonus. Would definitely come back when we're in the area.

    This place is an absolute gem. Their cocktail menu is always balanced and incredibly delicious. The bartenders clearly know their craft. The ambiance is cute, with the largest wall of alcohol I've ever seen. But it's not just about the cocktails here. Paper Plane's Tuesday prime rib special is something not to miss. For just $20, you get a prime rib cooked to absolute perfection. The meat is tender, juicy, and seasoned with the right balance of salty and briny flavors. It's a steal for this area, especially where steak houses are at least twice this cost. I'll be back soon for a delicious cocktail and prime rib dinner.
