Eddie Papa's American Hangout is a family friendly, fun filled American style bar and grill featuring signature regional dishes from throughout the United States and handcrafted artisan beverages. A place where quality need not be expensive, the food is always made from scratch, and the service is real, genuine, and caring. The concept was created by Pleasanton resident Edward Westmoreland as homage to his Armenian grandfather and celebrates the food and beverage cultures of America.
Our menu selections are indigenous to a city, state, or region of our country (Philly Cheese steaks, New Orleans Jambalaya, Kansas City Barbeque, Hawaiian Ahi, Southern Fried
Chicken, etc.), or represent a time period in our country's history that engrained the dish as an American classic (meatloaf - 1950's, casseroles - 1930's) and macaroni che cheese - late 1700's). The menu will change with the seasons using local organic produce, all natural proteins, sustainable seafood, and house made deserts.
