Yall I have never had better bbq in all of missouri! Go check them out I recommend the brisket nachos and the pulled pork sandwich with slaw! Try the house made mustard based bbq sauce even if you hate mustard like I do, it's delicious! The owner (female) that I spoke with was down to earth and genuinely nice. Please go show them some love yall. ❤️ Thank you for the wonderful experience. Parking kind of sucks but it's 1000xs worth it!

I want to be honest here and say this was for delivery. But i was excited to try this place, the reviews and small local place, i had this saved on my maps for a while and happened to see today they were on uber eats. I got the sampler with ribs, pulled pork, and brisket. It came with 4 sides, i did double potato salad, cole slaw and bbq beans, i also added mac and cheese since i was sure this place would be great. I hate to bash on a local small owned place but holy cow. This is by far, absolutely the worst bbq i have ever had. Most of it went to the trash and the meat to the dog. I was raised to not waste anything and i didnt even think twice on tossing this. The ribs were a crime against cookery. It was a marvel that ribs could be this bad. Usually bad rib are still ribs and okay. Idk h

If you've watched my top ten video, you know the story about Pappy's Place. If not, you really should watch it! The 2 year "Google Maps time limit" must be up, because it's letting me renew my review. Which works perfectly because Pappy's has new ownership! But, it's the same great food, same historic location, same great service, just new folks behind the bar. I do have to mention I was talked into sampling their chili. WOW! Probably the best I've ever had outside of my house! Please go try a burger and the chili. And tell them the Hillbilly sent ya.

Our waitress made a pulled pork and grilled cheese concoction that I just had to order. When I heard about it. It did not disappoint. Also, the Reuben burger that my colleagues ordered apparently was also the bee's knees. Would not have known about this place. If it wasn't for a local recommendation. Go here get food. Have a good time

Five stars all around. Fun atmosphere, friendly service, and the food to match. We had the sampler platter and the brisket was out of this world! Shout ~out to the Mac and cheese as well. They were out of pulled pork, but we will be back for it for sure. Nice assortment of beer for those who partake and live music on the patio on the weekends. Don’t drive by this little gem, stop and get some grub!
