We arrived to our accommodation in downtown Houston around 6pm hungry - asked the locals where to go and this was their recommendation. We know the Pappas range so knew we could rely on it. Good range of options, huge portion size. We weren't hungry for long and the quality of the BBQ is very good. Because of the style of the restaurant you can order your dinner and eat in reasonably quick time, which was what we were seeking given our late arrival and travel we had just done to get to Houston (13 hour flight).

Our hotel recommended this restaurant for good quality BBQ food. The food was yummy - the portions are huge. We shared the brisket and pulled pork with two sides - I particularly enjoyed the creamed corn side! Definitely worth a visit.

We eat there 5-6 times a year and the experience has always been good. It's a convenient stop before a downtown ballgame, theater, or music event. The barbecue is tender and tasty (good, not great), with a variety of sauces available. Portions are measured but rather large. I generally order the Bar-B-Q loaded baked potato. It is cafeteria style, so sometimes it takes a little while to get through the serving line, but it's generally never real busy in the late afternoon. The area is not Upper Kirby or River Oaks so watch your step. There is a cop generally on duty around the entrance, but it's still probably better for an early evening meal while it is still light.

I was on east coast time after flying in that day so I was hungry and didn't want to wait. My son and I walked to this restaurant and I was pleasantly surprised. I had the pulled pork dinner and my son had ribs. We ate outside on a picnic table because the weather was nice. I had so much food that I took some home for lunch. Casual, great for families, reasonable prices. I would return.

Big size portions and classic BBQ restaurant. Various options to pick from, including sides.
Potato salad is one of the best side dishes. Ribs is the sure thing but the baked potatoes will be a top choice
Most servings should be shared as portions are super sized

Arrived at a Friday night.
Place was not half full but with good energy.
You get your dish from a line, fast serving,
Not expensive (24$ for 0.5lb brisket, 2 small side and a large ice tea)
Brisket was good
Coleslaw was excellent
Potato salad was mediocre
Will come again

Some really good BBQ and affordable. I was told this was the original location and it did not disappoint! Make sure to get there early, they can sell out. We couldn’t get beef ribs because it was sold out

We were trying for the Cajun place and it was closed, so a passerby suggested Pappas which was just a couple of blocks away. Very appetizing set up with all their meats and delicious sides in view. I had the mixed tray and all of it was great. Pulled pork, a rib, smoked sausage and ham slices. If I had the bread, I would have had enough meat for 4 large sandwiches. And healthy orders of sides also. Very good meal in a friendly atmosphere.

We happened to be exploring the surrounding area while staying at the Hyatt Regency Houston Downtown and stumbled upon Pappas Bar B-Q. We are glad we did. We thought it was regular sit down and be served resturant but you order first. They give you your food and you get the sauce you like from the bar. The bar has other codiments as well. I ended up ordering the special of the day which was half a chicken and a rib. The price was great and it also came with two sides. When I got my food I realized the portions were not adjusted lunch portions. I could not finish my food but it was good BBQ. The chicken was well seasoned and juicy.The staff was friendly and happy to serve us. Make sure to try the watermelon punch if its still available. My wife had the pulled pork sandwich and it was also delicious.

We had Pappas BBQ brought in for a business lunch, so I can’t comment on the service, location or ambience.
The food was pretty good, a choice of brisket, pulled pork and wings. Sides of salad, Mac and cheese, cucumber salad and potato salad. Overall a pretty good feast, not the best BBQ I’ve had, but a solid choice for a local chain restaurant.

The bbq was good but not the best I have ever had. We had the brisket, cucumber salad and macaroni salad. Everything was good but expensive.
I really didn’t care for their bbq sauce.

Pulled Pork sandwich was a meal itself. Drinks a little pricey but what do you expect for a downtown big city.

We have been to Austin a few times and love Texas BBQ.
Normal order at the counter style with an ok range of beer options. Could do with a few more beer options.
Amazing food we had the full baby back ribs which was huge...Good coleslaw and ranch beans.
We would love to go back and would highly recommend
