Pappy's Smokehouse

every BBQ list in the country includes Pappy's and they all have it right. the pull-apart tenderness on those ribs is unreal

Pappy's has been one of the best BBQ joints in the country since 2008. Memphis-style ribs dry-rubbed and smoked over apple and cherry wood. The line wraps around the building and moves fast.

the brisket at Pappy's has a smoke ring you can see from across the table. peppery bark, moist interior, no sauce needed

get there at 10:30 or accept that the ribs will sell out. Pappy's is worth the early lunch
