"Muy buen sitio para cenar, agradable, rápidos y de calidad. Fuimos 3 personas para cenar y sirvieron todo muy rápido y recién hecho, las fotos cumplen con la realidad, calidad precio buena. Aparcamiento alrededor sin problemas del restaurante, como mucho a 4 minutos andando. Recomendamos 100% probar este bar-restaurante. Por lo demás un trato exquisito, atento y rápido, cenamos genial"

"Un lugar encantador, de esos que se notan llevados con cariño y amor. Probamos el fritto misto de pescado y unas berenjenas espectaculares, preparadas con un toque casero por la señora de la casa, súper amable, que hace que la experiencia sea todavía más especial. El ambiente es cálido, típico de un local familiar donde te hacen sentir como en casa. Sin duda volveremos. Una lástima que cierre cuando termine la temporada de verano, porque dan ganas de repetir todo el año."

"Aceptable. Las puntillitas frescas y muy ricas (fue lo mejor). Las papas aliñas algo sosas pero aún así estaban bastante ricas. Sin embargo los montaditos serranitos no fueron de nuestro gusto: pan chicloso (no tostado), no nos gustaron. Servicio rápido y amable. Económico."

"¡Total acierto El Papelón! Ha sido nuestra primera vez en Chiclana para ambos, vinimos aquí a ciegas y ha sido un acierto rotundo. El camarero que nos atendió fue muy amable con nosotros, al igual que el resto de los camareros que hemos tratado. La comida muy buena, con una relación calidad-precio más que aceptable. La carta cuenta con varios platos para satisfacer un poco a todo el mundo. El que quiera frito, tiene frito. El que quiera hamburguesa, hay hamburguesas, etc... La verdad que muy bien. Estuvimos más agusto que en brazos, como se suele decir. Más que recomendado este establecimiento. Deseando volver a repetir con la familia."

"El mejor restaurante que he probado. Tiene una comida bastante buena y adaptable para todo el mundo. A mi hija le ha encantado el plato variado de frituras, muy completo y todo a un precio muy razonable. Las gambas de cristal también bastante bien. Además, hemos sido atendidos muy rápido por el dueño. Llegamos sobre las diez y media y en 10min ya estábamos cenando, espectacular. Repeteríamos. Muy recomendable."
