The food here was great but I wasn't expecting it to be cafeteria style so I was a little lost at first. Good sized portions for a fair price. I had the brisket and turkey combo of which I prefer the brisket more. Sides I had were ranch beans and green beans. Greens beans were a little under seasoned.

I'm so glad Pappas is now offering family deals. For 29.95, this is a steal! The pulled pork was moist and delicious, the chicken was tender and juicy, and the sausage was great as always. The menu said it serves 3-4, but 3 of us had dinner and their was enough for all three of us to have another full meal. The sides were great as well. We had a pints of cream corn and potato salad. The meal came with half pints of sauce, onions, pickles and jalapenos along with 6 slices of bread. I normally cook a big dinner during the week, but I need a break every now and then! Thanks, Pappas! We loved the food and the price!

This was some awesome BBQ! Place was clean , so much to choose from on the menu. Loved the condiment and Sauce bar. Fast friendly service. A little in the pricey side but we’ll worth it. Large dining area inside. They also have double drive thru lanes. Table and bar seating. Some outdoor seating as well. The homemade pecan pie is off the hook! Various other desserts.

Being Father's Day, we knew to expect it to be busy, but that was ok. The crew for the night was well prepared for the rush, only being out of Pork ribs of what my party ordered they happily asked if baby back would be an OK substitute. I was completely fine with that, being that I wasn't surprised with the rush or the time of day that they weren't out of more. If they ran out of sides it wasn't but for a minute or two before a fresh batch hit the line. Everyone working as a well organized Team. My Family Greatly appreciates the Employees that night for a smooth night out and helping to make a great Father's Day for my Dad.

Went here yesterday and was very pleased with everything. This location was extremely clean. The service was wonderful. Ordered Burgers and fries, mac and cheese, & macaroni salad. All of it was great. Yes, it is a little pricey, but oh so worth it. Will definitely be back to this location again!
