Reviews for Pappy's Smokehouse in St. Louis, MO
Visiting from out of town. Best BBQ I've had. The meat (I had the chicken and brisket) was juicy and tender. It needs no... sauce, though was also good with sauce. I preferred the original over the sweet. The potato salad tasted like summers in mychildhood. For my personal taste, the fried corn on the cob everyone raves about was good, but not my favorite preparation. The staff was super friendly and accommodating and got us seated outside very quickly. I didn't know they've been recognized byFood Network for the country's best ribs until after we left. Guess I'll just have to go back another time to try those! Read more
Texan guy here, visiting from Austin. We came in for the Cardinals game and saw that this was the place for ribs. Glad we came... and waited the hour for a table. Line moves super slow, be prepared to wait. If you have the time, you will get to experiencethe best pork ribs you've ever eaten. They are deliciously cooked, with that nice chewy bark - slightly sweet. We devoured afull rack between the two of us. Also ordered the combo with "burnt ends". Wasn't how I remembered burnt ends, it was morelike pulled brisket. That was too sweet for my taste. My son didn't like it at all. However, the corn-on-the-cob wasincredible. If you like corn, don't pass this up. Never had anything like it. They flash fry it and put a nice seasoning withbutter on it. Perfection, just like the ribs. Read more
THE BEST! Thankfully we have had our fair share of bbq, and with this Pappy?s is the BEST yet! Tender, fall off the bone... goodness! There may be a bit of a wait, but no worries, WAIT, it?ll be worth it!! Service is terrific and the atmosphere isrustic and relaxed!! ENJOY!!! Read more
The food was quite tender and moist...the ribs seemed to be the biggest hit. The green bean side is quite nicely flavored. I... personally had the brisket sandwich. It was super tender properly lean, but was thin sliced and wet and somewhat lacking inintense smoked flavors like I get at another BBQ favorite. The pulled pork was described as very good and flavorful though Ionly had the brisket. Service was excellent and the atmosphere friendly and open. We had a great meal. Read more
My husband loved this place, I wasn?t a big fan to be honest. Not much of a wait when we went, which was great! Staff was super... friendly and my hubby loved his pulled pork and slaw! I had the brisket, baked potato and baked beans. Wasn?t a fan of the waythe brisket was sliced(very thin). My potato was still pretty hard and cool on the inside, and my baked beans had a gooeytexture to them. I think I gave most of my food to a man standing on the street corner, who was hungry! But like I say aboutplaces?you never know unless you try it! The manager or owner one did give my husband a t-shirt for our granddaughter though,which was super cool of him! So kudos for going above and beyond with that! Read more
Amazing St. Louis ribs! So flavorful that you really don't need to add sauce, but the sauces just enhance their flavorful. We... had The Big Ben which brings a full rack of ribs, a brisket sandwich , pulled pork sandwich, chicken sandwich and 4 sides. Ipick Brisket over pulled pork any day, but I gotta say both were equally delicious. The baked beans is a must. Overall we had adelicious feast and highly recommend. If I could change one thing, it would be the temperature of the food, but that's mypreference, I wish it would've been hotter in temp, but that won't stop me from coming back. Read more
Amazingly Awesome Ribs. We had about a 40 minute wait to be seated, but it was well worth the wait. The staff are super friendly... and well efficient at sanitizing and turning over the tables quickly. The orders came out hot within 5 minutes of being seated.The brisket and pulled pork were also delicious. The sides were really good especially the deep fried corn on the cob and thegreen beans. We can't wait to return. Thanks Pappys for the great food and experience. Read more
Hands down the best fall off the bone ribs you will ever eat in your life. It is definitely well worth the wait in the line. ... The ribs are so good I've spent hours of research trying to find their secretes. They are very secretive about what makestheirs so uniquely different then others. But I've definitely get it very close to figured out. Read more
