Got the brisket with sweet potato fries and pickles. My friend got the ribs and corn. Both were good, very tender. The sauce was also really nice (I tried all four and we really liked the spicy one the most).

The lineup was long when we got there but it was pretty quick, I think we had a 20-30 minute wait so not too bad (I once waited for an hour at a different BBQ place).

Placed our orders and food came out pretty quickly. The staff was really nice and recommended the sides (was not disappointed).

The inside had plenty of seating and had cool decorations, I think newspaper clippings or some articles lined the walls.

Overall, had a good experience and would definitely come back.

Five stars with one warning!!! This is my second visit and definitely did not disappoint. Service was excellent with very friendly staff. Last trip I only tried the ribs, this time I went all out and definitely got my money’s worth as well as satisfied that bbq fever. Oh and the warning……DON’T GET ANY ON YOUR FOREHEAD BECAUSE YOUR TONGUE WILL BEAT YOUR BRAINS OUT TRYIN TO GET AT IT!!!!!!!
You’ve been warned!
Very delicious, thank you Pappy’s team!

Oh my goodness. This was probably the best and definitely the most tenderous slab of ribs I've had. I fell I n love with their bake beans. The 15-20 min drive was worth it. LOVE THIS PLACE!!!

Very casual setting for absolutely delicious fall off the bone ribs! Long wait, but once you place your order and pay, you go to a table immediately and they bring you your food. Very friendly and efficient staff! We also tried the brisket and the fried corn on the cob, but the ribs are what make this a must try!

I mean the place is great if you enjoy eating 50 dollar rib dinners at 11 am..

I am not a hater, but let me tell y'all about the brisket. It was unbelievable. No moisture/juice, no fat, no grease/oil. It tasted like it was slow roasted over water. Not very tender, but I won't be a stickler on that because it wasn't tough either, though I did hit a notable number of snags. I know everyone has their preference of thickness, but it was thin almost like a deli meat better for a sandwich. The burnt ends were decent. I know I sound dramatic and that's probably because brisket was the main thing I was going for and was sorely disappointed after seeing 4.7 stars and good review after good review.

we recently used Pappys as a caterer for our wedding reception dinner and OMG it was amazing! I had so many people from out of town and out of state asking about pappys locations and raving about how amazing it was. The serving staff were awesome and kept everything moving smoothly. I can’t thank yall enough for contributing such a big part to the best day of my life and for making the entire process so easy! Thank you thank you thank you.

Absolutely stunning food. The burnt ends and half rack of ribs were so good. We went just after opening in the week, and it was getting really busy then, but even if you have to wait, it’s so worth it.

Guy walked up, took order, he was great, food came right out. Fries COLD , Hard , AND OLD!! FOR 23 BUCKS, REALLY. VERY DISAPPOINTED! RIBS WAS GOOD AND TENDER. .Fyi but why, FRIES do matter you know. I HADN'T EVEN PULLED OFF THE LOT YET WHEN I TASTED THEM. I couldn't even eat them and no time to give back because I'm working. What a waste smh..

I asked hotel staff for bbq recs and was given this restaurant. Family of four was approximately $100. The food was excellent; pulled pork, brisket, turkey. And the sides….all home runs.
