    I usually go to the location 5 minutes away but was closer to this one today. I got my usual order of a brisket, egg & cheese taco which usually is enough to fill me up but left me still hungry instead. As soon as I grabbed it out of the bag I could tell it didnt compare and sure enough once opened there was hardly any meat in the taco and ended up being more egg than anything. If I would have known they skimp on the meat I would have just settled for something cheaper than the $6 I paid for this one. Definitely disappointed & will just continue going to the location off 45 & Monroe where the tacos are actually worth the price.

    I've eaten there for years so I know ribs aren't supposed to me blood red on the inside. I ordered the PORK ribs and when I bite on the they were tough and red , not pink red on the inside. I told the manager and she said "that what our meat looks like." Tough and undercooked? This was Christmas Eve but there was no lines it wasn't busy. No reason to rush the cook. She told me to get something else, but I wouldn't be going back if this is the new standard.

    It’s been a while since we ate papas bbq. I was looking forward to it. I had brisket and fries. The sauce is not the same, it tastes like alcohol to me. I am not fond of it. My husband thinks it was sweeter. So we don’t agree on that. We agree however the change was not for the better. Yelp gave them 2.8 stars. I thought it was just yelp since here on google it is 4 stars. I have to go with yelp on this one. Now I feel it’s over priced. My brisket wasn’t as tender as it used to be either. I remember it use to melt in your mouth. There is a positive, the fries were piping hot.

    I'm SO disappointed!!! I've been going here for years I know how your ribs a supposed to look and tastes. The pork rib I purchased were not cooked all the way. They were RED and tough. Not pink, red! Undercooked pork ribs. The manger said this is how they are supposed to look, " that's how our meat looks." She substituted the chicken and is was slimy. It's really gone down hill. Waste of money.
