Pappy's Smokehouse (often referred to as simply Pappy’s) is a barbecue restaurant located in St. Louis, Missouri.[1]
It was started in 2008 by Mike Emerson, who previously worked at another barbecue restaurant called Super Smokers.[1][3][4] The restaurant was named after Emerson’s late brother, Jim.[2]
Pappy’s sells Memphis-style ribs, and ribs are barbecued without sauce.[3] The ribs are dry-rubbed and cooked over applewood and cherrywood for fourteen hours; customers can add a variety of barbecue sauces in squeeze bottles when they eat.[3][5] The restaurant sells tons of ribs daily.[3][6] It is noted to have long lines and the restaurant closes when the ribs run out.[6][7]
