Usually good but tonight I was told they ran out of fries, which seems very unlikely when I’d just bought fries 5 minutes earlier. If you’re open until 10pm, you should be able to drop fries until 10pm.

Food is great. Tables can use a little better cleaning between groups and better attention from staff for needs, but overall good experience.

One of my favorite casual, fair priced, barbecue spots in Houston. I’ve been to several locations but this one is Located conveniently in downtown, I frequent this spot on late evenings after wedding rehearsals, or other events at the Co Cathedral of the Sacred Heart across the street.

After a long hard day at work, I stopped at this location to pick up some dinner. I had not eaten all day and I was really looking forward to Pappas BBQ. I ordered the Baked Potato with chopped brisket (brisket on the side) and a chopped brisket sandwich. I ordered it to-go. I live in the Heights. I was so disappointed when I got home, because there was no chopped brisket for my baked potato. It has been a while since I came to the downtown location. I have always gotten great service. This is the reason I did not check my to-go order. I am too tired to drive back into town, so needless to say, I was short on this meal. ☹️🤷♀️🤦♀️
