Then we first smelled and spotted the smoker and figured out how to get around to the entrance. It's in a big warehousey type building and everything looks brand new inside. I had the brisket sandwich. So tender and loaded with meat. The loaded potato salad was really nice. I think it had pulled pork in it, something smokey, but not bacon. My friend had the brisket nachos. She got the half order and barely made a dent in it. Service was very fast and it's right off the interstate.

I usually settle in with one favorite item at restaurants we frequent. Here it's always a dilemma. Today the special was a ribeye steak with two sides. The steak was massive. It was smoked and had a great flavor. My wife got the fish. It is a Friday AYCE special but is available any day. Sundays they have AYCE fried chicken. You can also order a 4 piece meal for a lesser price and I've never been able to finish that. My "usual" is a 2 meat combo. I usually go for ribs and a sausage, but the pulled pork and brisket are both good. I didn't care for the turkey and have tried bbq chicken. For sides, I like the baked beans and fried potatoes the best. Had a baked potato today and it was cooked through. There is usually a soup special - the ham and beans is my favorite. Note that it is usually packed on Sundays at lunch. It is much better to go Friday or Saturday at lunch. I've never seen a line then, but then you won't be able to get the fried chicken! We eat here about twice a month and I highly recommend it. It's the best bbq in a wide area around here.

Make it a trip and wander past Red Bud and Ruma and get you some Wally's…read more I live within 15 minutes of a handful of bbq places in the STL Metro East, and none of them compared to Wally's. The brisket was tender, but not covered in grease. The mac-n-cheese was actually flavorful - most mnc's are just bland noodles with cheese - not the case at all at Wally's. "What on earth is honey mustard potato salad?" Oh, only the best potato salad you'll ever eat in your life, if you like honey mustard. The baked beans had a chili flavor to them without compromising the bbq sweet you want from baked beans. The poppy seed slaw wasn't just covered in mayo, it was actually refreshing and a nice complimentary side to the uber flavorful bbq mains. And the homemade ice cream was insane alongside the bread pudding. It's a bummer someplace like this is in the middle of nowhere and not closer to more people. But that seems to be part of what Wally wants: home cooking done the right way. Not just "grandmas style" that only appeals to a niche group of people. Wally has crafted his food to be enjoyed by all who happen upon this tiny "diner" along Route 3. Make it a trip and wander past Red Bud and Ruma and get you some Wally's. The menu isn't stacked full of options, but what is on the menu will instantly transport you back to a place where your pallet didn't understand what "food for convenience" was. Where ambiance didn't matter as much as the quality of food on your plate. Show up, order quickly, eat well, and tip better.

YES PCB BBQ... absolutely awesome little spot in Ina. I didn't expect much but that it would do the trick and have lunch. Boy was I wrong ... Porch Chair BBQ... takes the cake... more like Ribs, chicken, pulled pork, brisket, etc. so glad I had the opportunity to get to try them. They have a deep menu but it's very easy and understanding of that to get. I came 2 days and was able to try a few different things... I can officially say the wings are absolutely awesome, perfectly cooked, seasoned well, just really good wings. I always had the brisket sandwich, which was great and just a nice, mild smoked brisket. I haven't had the chance yet to try the ribs or pulled pork ... i absolutely can't wait to come back and come sit down awhile on the porch chair ... I'm jealous already.

This location in midtown is the original (I believe) and has a lot of charm and a great staff. There was no real line as I showed up in the first 30 minutes of their opening and on a Monday so I'm sure that made a big difference. I was helped by a super nice man up front who assisted me with my order and gave me the lowdown on the ordering and seating process. Pappy's has a large staff that were constantly clearing tables and delivering food. The manager (?) even stopped by the dining area and checked in with how our meals were. He also told me about the fried corn on the cob cooking process. Very interesting. I had a half slab of the ribs and chose the fried corn on the cob and baked beans as my sides. I filled by drink and found a seat and my meal was served shortly afterwards. The tables have 4 sauces to choose from if needed. Honestly, I loved the flavor of the ribs just the way they were served to me although I did try the sauces as I love to try these things when in a new place. The ribs had a glaze of sauce already on them and man were they good! The ribs were perfectly prepared with the iconic smoke ring around the edges. They were meaty and fatty just like they should be. These rate in the top 5 ribs I've ever had. I enjoyed the fried corn on the cob as it was super unique and finished with a sugar and salt coating but not too much. The BBQ beans were also good with pieces of pork mixed in. I highly recommend trying Pappy's when in the St Louis area. They really do a wonderful all around job.

So good, a must try!…read more Line is already long at 11am but they move through it. Plenty of spaces to park. They have you order and then get a table so there is enough seats. Brisket - my husband's favorite. Sliced thin. I also enjoyed it because it wasn't overly fatty. Pork - also delicious! The original bbq sauce was our favorite. Baked beans - hardy and delicious Fried corn - way better than regular corn on the cob Potato salad - more mustard/mayo based. Large potato chunks. It was delicious with a subtle flavor.
