    Went to Pappas bbq specifically for the dirty rice. In the past it had chopped brisket in it. This time, it was just rice. Brisket and turkey were food though.

    Did a online order for curbside pickup. Received a text to text them when I got parked. After I parked I responded to the text, telling them where I was parked and color of my vehicle and make. Then I sat there for over 12 min. So I went in and went to , to go orders. The young lady asked if she could help me ? I said I have a curbside pick up order, she turned around and grabbed the bag and handed it to me and a cup for my drink. So I guess they really don't have curbside pick up options here

    I really enjoy the small salads as they load em up with fresh dressings. The stuffed baked potato is great along with the salad if you can finish both. Ms GiGi is quick to serve you with a smile and a laugh. Very welcoming to come anytime to sit down and eat. Try it out and enjoy a good lunch or dinner.

    I’ve dined at this restaurant multiple times, I usually go with my family, my family’s and i order is always the same 3 baked potato’s and one chopped brisket sandwich, the 3 potatoes come out in minutes but the order that always take the longest is the sandwich, and You would’ve have figured a sandwich can’t take that long ,no, this restaurant takes minimum 20 minutes to place some brisket between two buns , this situation has happened multiple times and not once have I been served a sandwich all together with my 3 potato’s. I expect better customer service.
