Pappy's Smokehouse

"This is the best ribs in St. Louis! There are many people, The wait to get in was about 40 minutes. But the arrangement is reasonable and the food is served quickly! Full Rack of Ribs , Baked Beans & Sweet potato Fries. Rib meat fell right off the bone. There are 3 special sauces on the table. The soda tastes delicious! Very good! Very friendly service! I’ll be back soon!"

"If you’re in St. Louis I think it’s mandatory you get some BBQ ribs and Pappy’s was the place I went. You have to come early most of the time as it gets crowded and they run out. But it was worth it the ribs were good with or without sauce, which they had several to choose from. I got the fried cord as a side, it was good but nothing super special. Definitely would come back if I’m in town again."

"Oh baby... This is some BBQ!!! Atmosphere: had this bookmarked for our first trip to ST. Louis and it did not disappoint. You order up front and pick a table. Cool laid back atmosphere, fun decorations and a ton of menus from celebs and athletes that have eaten here. We drove 20 minutes out of the airport in the opposite direction for this and it was worth it. Food: Full Slab Pork Ribs - Amazing.. Some of the most tender and crispy ribs we have ever eaten. This rivals the big dawgs in Texas for me.. The fact you get crispy edges and hot soft tender insides is crazy to me. We could not stop eating these. The sauce was out of this world. It's a flavor you just can't compare to. Top 5 ribs I have ever eaten easily. Smoked Turkey - Honestly pretty average and kinda dry we didn't love this. Sides: Baked Beans - These are made with pork and wow the perfect sweetness and a great compliment to the ribs. Fried Corn - This was a recommendation and boy was it a good one. This is a must get its an entire cob fried, sweet, crunchy delicious! Sauce Tip: 4 types of sauce bottled and on every table. Our favorite was the Sweet Baby Jane. Perfect sweetness and enhanced the flavor of everything Must have: Ribs, this is what they do.. Drinks: Standard fountain drinks, their sweet tea was especially good. Price: Around $40.00 for 2 of us and worth every penny. Parking: lot in the back with what seems like plenty of parking. Service: Very nice cashier and the staff delivers and picks up your plates. Amazing BBQ that we will remember and compare to in the future."

"Probably the most famous barbecue place in St. Louis. Really great barbecue. Ribs brisket and pulled pork were very good. Beans are very good. As are the sweet potato fries. Barbecue sauces are amazing. Expect a line but it moves pretty fast. Get here early or call ahead to see what they’ve run out of. They only Barbeque so much stuff and when it’s gone, it’s gone. For instance, the burnt ends were gone before 5 PM on a weekend."

"The rib is the best. Definitely better than most bbq place. Overall meat itself did not have much spice, you need to put lots of sauce if you have a heavy taste bud. Brisket and pulled pork are below average comparing to other places, they are very lean, and blend, not to say it’s very healthy, but it’s missing something. Price is very reasonable, portion is huge, we ordered the combo platter, can feed the family two meals. Service is also good. Will only order full rack of ribs next time we come :)"
