Papa Murphy's Chippewa Falls

I absolutely love Papa Murphy's in Chippewa Falls. Each time I go in the order is perfect and the people are so nice. I really recommend going there and getting one of their yummy pizzas. Don't go to dine in. If you're not familiar with Papa Murphy's you'll find out that you take the pizza home and bake it.

Taco Johns Revisited

At the very professional request of Taco John's I went back to try another item on the menu. This time I selected their burrito, without the potatoes. The lunch was very good and they remembered my guacamole. I'd go back again. I still wouldn't order a burrito with potatoes in it, but for those who like them, all the more to you.
