Pappas Bar-B-Q offers high quality meats, spice rubbed and slow-smoked in a secret wood blend. Our barbecue is served fresh from the pits all day. Everything is homemade - from the pecan pie, chunky potato salad and crispy slaw to the savory sauces and bold ranch beans. Even the salads are fresh cut daily!

    Ran out of fries on a Friday night @ 9:19pm. That is ridiculous and not a good representation of what Pappas is all about! This is not the first time either. I hope this goes viral. Party foul. Now I have to go elsewhere for nourishment.

    1/2 chicken with cauliflower and green beans. Vegas were room temp but all had great taste. Chicken was smoked well with zesty peppery flavor.

    Great meal enjoyed the BBQ. Price was decent was great atmosphere, loved the vibes. Wish they had a bit more selection of sauce. But would definitely recommend and would come back if ever in the area.

    Went to order a couple of plates thru drive thru almost 10 mins just waiting to get to window and the Guy at the window very rude and act like he wasn’t paying attention when we placed the order. Seems like he didn’t want to work. Come on pappas in the last year your service went way down. Never again
