The food and the service here is excellent. The barbecue was so tender and seasoned just right, I didn't even need the bbq sauce. The green beans and collard greens were amazing. They offer two varieties with and without pork. The ribs are competition style ribs, and the potato salad is amazing. I highly recommend. When I go back I will include pictures. read more

I have to agree that the sauce was good. It was a mustard like BBQ sauce not too sweet, just perfect and I liked it. One of the places I wanted to try because of the big crowds I always see when I drove by. The restaurant was a takeout or self-service type of restaurant. The service was good.You place the order, pay, and wait for it. They had a seating area in front with tables you could use. They had another seating area. The VIP area lol under the mango tree. I saw most people do takeout. It looked like a spot for locals. I tried the smoked ribs,chicken, bake beans toast, the mac and cheese. My favorite thing was the beans. They melted in your mouth. The flavors were on point. Between the ribs and chicken. I liked the chicken only because it was very tender. The other items tasted good. But those were my favorite things and sauce. read more

I was visiting Boca Raton for a conference and wanted something different than the DT Boca fare. A friend found Papa Sauce (maybe on Google ... not sure) and we took an Uber there. When we got there, the people behind the counter (I think one of them was Papa) gave all 4 of us an immediate taste of some ribs which were out of this world. We were then given sample of a ceviche type dish that he had just made. After ordering our meals, the owner then came out and took 4 local coconuts he had in a pile next to the door, drilled holes in them and gave us all coconut water to drink. The food came out shortly thereafter. I ordered their basic rib dinner (about 5-6 large ribs with two sides) and it was some of the best meat I had ever tasted. Collard greens were also some of the best. The experience was made very special by the friendliness of the staff. Awesome experience. Would love to visit again if I am in that area. read more

Hands down best barbecue in South Florida. I personally love the big bones with no sauce. This restaurant is a staple and the community and I have to get my fixed each and every week thank you Papa. I love you man and I love your food. Keep up the good work I'm on the way. If you're in the mood for ribs that redefine what BBQ can be, look no further than Papa Sauce. Their juicy, succulent ribs are a masterclass in flavor and tenderness. Each bite is a perfect balance of smoky, savory, and slightly sweet notes, making it impossible to resist going back for more. The ribs are slow-cooked to perfection, allowing the meat to fall right off the bone. The signature sauce is the star of the show--rich, tangy, and utterly addictive. Whether you enjoy them with a side of classic coleslaw or fries, every element complements the ribs beautifully. The atmosphere at Papa Sauce adds to the experience, with friendly staff and a cozy vibe that makes you feel right at home. If you're a rib enthusiast or just someone who loves great food, Papa Sauce is a must-visit. Prepare to have your BBQ expectations elevated! -Big John read more

4.5 Stars Very Good - Neighborhood Gem Papa Sauce and his team were spot on. I'm glad I finally found them and not sure why it took so long. This food is a legit with a friendly BBQ Pitmaster. I stopped by on a rainy Sat. afternoon to pick up lunch. There were a number of folks hanging out on the picnic tables eating and chatting plus a few others in their vehicles. You go up to the window, place your order and they give you a number. A few minutes later they call you when your order is ready. Lucky for me it wasn't too crowed. If it was nicer out, you could hang out and eat outside or take your food to go. Papa let me check out the smokers while I was there. See the photos. I enjoyed the ribs, collard greens and sauce. I plan on trying their chicken next. If you are near Deerfield Beach and are looking for some tasty BBQ (smoked ribs and more), be sure to stop by. read more

Waited over an hour for the ribs. The owner is a hard worker, however, they need help. Mainly large bones and a bit tough. Unfortunately not worth the $65 bucks spent. read more

Bbq is probably my favorite thing to eat. So I'm always excited to try new places. It randomly showed up on my timeline on Facebook so i decided to try one day. It was a to-go spot with a couple picnic tables if you wanted to sit down and eat. The owner was at the order window and he was very nice. I can tell he's passionate about his food. I got the rib dinner and it comes with two sides. I decided to get Mac and baked beans. The sauce, the sauce, THE SAUCE!! The bbq sauce is 5 stars by itself. I literally was drowning the bread in that sauce. The ribs were delicious. Not too tough and seasoned very well. The macaroni wasn't as cheesy as i prefer but it was still very good. The baked beans were good and sweet and thick. I see that they close for the month of July but I'll definitely go back when they open again in august read more

Papa Sauce - Ribs Dinner with Mac & Cheese, and Collard Greens - Caterers Near Me - Deerfield Beach, Florida

First time was so good we went back for more and it was awful. The brisket sandwich was all fat and gristle, not edible at all. The mac and cheese was all mac no cheese. The greens are consistently good. But if I'm going to wait 30 min for bbq and spend almost $30 on one sandwich and two sides it will never be here again. read more

This place had the most amazing food and the most amazing service. It feels like family as soon as you walk up. I am a very hard critic on barbecue in this gets a perfect 10 from me. The ribs were flavorful and tender and the sauce was amazing. The macaroni and cheese had a perfect texture and flavor and just enough cheese the baked beans or the perfect compliment to the macaroni, homemade sweet and savory. I also got greens on the side. I'm not even a fan of greens and those were so good. It came with Texas toast and I also got their famous lemonade. One of the better meals I've had in Florida. I will definitely be back here and I definitely recommend it. read more

Coach Brooks is PAPA SAUCE and the KING of BBQ This was my first visit and it won't be the last. Big servings of wonderful freshly cooked ribs, ends, and all the fixins. Do yourself a favor and go to Papa Sauce the next you want really good BBQ. The only disappointment for me was not knowing Papa Sauce has been in that location for 20 years. Just thinking about all that great food I missed makes me hungry again. read more

If you're in the area for a weekend, you'll be doing yourself a huge disservice if you don't come here. People were friendly, the regulars seem to know each other. There was a bit of a wait and it seemed a bit chaotic. You might stand in the Florida sun for 5-10 minutes. The food was just amazing. The sauce was just amazing on my ends and on the chicken. Every side, absolutely fantastic. Collared greens, mac and cheese, rice and the baked beans were all amazing. I can't wait to go back to try out the potato salad. They were out by the time I got there. read more

Papa Sauce - Delicious! - Caterers Near Me - Deerfield Beach, Florida

My daughter eats here frequently and had nothing but excellent things to say about the food and service. She would text pictures of her food to me, my husband and her sister. Every time we came to Deerfield our time was limited so we could not go to Papa Sauce, well we got a chance to go tonight. I had ribs and my husband had chicken, the meat was so tender, the sides, beans, potato salad, collard greens, mac and cheese, Texas toast, had us literally licking our fingers and the service was excellent. This is our go to bbq place from this day forth. We even bought a bottle of sauce to take home. read more

I found Papa Sauce through my Yelp app. I'm glad I did otherwise I probably would not have ever known that this place existed. It is about a five minute drive from where I reside. I would say that this is strictly a take out joint. It can definitely be difficult to find without GPS. The easiest way is to remember that it is about two blocks south of Hillsboro on the west side. You will see a small parking lot and just a single bench. That's where it is. I've only had the ribs and baked beans here. The baked beans are good, however, I found them to be too sweet for me personally. The ribs are great. They're spare ribs and they're huge. I order a half rack and it is beyond enough. Hell I honestly feel like I need to work out and build muscles to be able to comfortably carry the ribs to my car, that's how much they give you!!!! The meat is firm yet still tender and cooked to perfection. The owner or his daughter ask if I want the sauce on the ribs or on the side. I always opt to have the sauce on the ribs. They douse the ribs in sauce which I love. Now they do use a mustard base sauce here. I'm generally not into that but I find this place to be the exception. Wow the flavor of the sauce is awesome. It isn't too sweet and it compliments the ribs beautifully. They are only open a few days a week. I'm not sure which days that is but I do know they're open on Saturday. I would recommend calling before you go to confirm they're open. All in all this is a very good family owned and operated BBQ joint. I find the prices to be reasonable. I will be back again and I suggest you give it a try. read more

THE BEST BBQ ANYWHERE OUTSIDE OF MEMPHIS!!! This place is out of this world. Don't expect anything fancy because it's all about the food and spirit. I won't eat BBQ anywhere else! Pro tip: this is an eat outside place. Go for the food to take home or eat on the picnic table. read more

I was headed home from the Deerfield Beach Library, and around the vicinity of Hillsboro Blvd and Dixie, I smelled the most heavenly aroma of barbecue wafting through the air. I pulled over at the first drive-thru I came across to get on yelp and research. Papa Sauce was a few blocks over and I drove right there. Yes, this is a very unassuming place, and if you don't know what you're looking for, you might pass it up. I got to the walk-up window, and Mr. Papa Sauce himself was at the window. I told him I had just moved to the area, and was a first time customer, and he offered me a quite generous taste of greens, potato salad, rice with peas and 2 ribs. And it was all delicious. That Papa Sauce was a sweet mustardy, tangy delight. He passed me a menu so I could peruse, and a few more older gentlemen came and sat and began to talk with me. They reminded me of my dad and his brothers - old school guys eating and laughing and talking. Everyone was so sincere and wonderful while I was there. I ended up ordering the cheeseburger with Papa Sauce, Mac and cheese and greens. He gave me a side of pork and beans on the house, along with a cold pop. Again, the food was wonderful: homey, delicious, filling and plentiful. The proprietor was amazing as well. This will be my new go-to spot. read more

Papa Sauce - No sign from road but worth the hunt! - Caterers Near Me - Deerfield Beach, Florida

I had to check out Papa Sauce based on a recommendation. Glad I had a GPS cause I would have driven right past it. At night, the only clue you know its there is a single light shining on the benches outside, and an illuminated open sign that you'll miss if you're not careful. There are no signs indicating anything of substance here exists. You order by walking up to the window; if you wish to eat on-site there are a few uncovered benches outside. Since temps were in the low 50's we decided to take it home. So we ordered a rack and a half of ribs with Mac & cheese, BBQ beans, and collard greens. First rookie visit mistake was to assume these were baby back ribs. Nope, since we're in a classic soul food joint these are pork spare ribs. So a rack & a half is way too much for just 2 people, even if you have a big appetite. A half rack is more than enough for two people. The ribs are fall off the bone tender as you'd expect, and are very tasty in what you'd expect comfort food to be (rich). The sides certainly lean on the sweet side, which I didn't mind one bit. The sauce used for the ribs to my untrained pallette is mustard & vinegar based mixed in with some pork fat. Next time I'll get the sauce on the side so I can control how much I want to drown the ribs. Papa Sauce does make me recall Betty's in Ft. Lauderdale in that it succeeds in creating great soul food eats, although I'm sure most physicians wouldn't recommend eating like this on a regular basis. Oh and the bill for all of the above? 58 bucks. Steep for take out for two (again our mistake), but fine if you like leftovers for a week. :-) I'll definitely try it out again to try some other items.. read more

do NOT recommend!! went here recently and the food was terrible and we literally seen a rat running around. please just go support another small business. read more

Pro tip: Call in your order. This place is more like a stationary food truck. There is one long picnic bench to use if there is good weather. Outdoor lighting is a simply a giant security lamp. The place is well supported by the locals, as we waited, many customers stopped but everyone seemed to have called ahead. l ordered the short ends and the hubs ordered the BBQ ribs. If you love mustard based BBQ this is the spot for you. They don't offer any other type. Ribs were tender and well cooked but my Jamaican taste wanted everything to have more heat. I took my dish home and hit it up with some hot sauce and it was great. I would hit this place again but only after calling in my order ahead of time. They accept credit cards and cash. read more

Soul food done right. Think, best backyard BBQ and your uncle is a smoke master. This unassuming place food truck like is a hidden gem that commuters probably have been driving by for years without knowing it was there. There is something very appealing about seeing a family run and owned small business who has pride in what they do. You know you are not paying for the rent with tons of overhead and that they can focus on the food. Keep up the great work. The smoke and flavor will rival any in South Florida. I have been living here 4 yrs and have been looking for a place that does ribs the way it should be done. Folks if you think corp place like famous Dave's is good then this place will shock you with tenderness and flavor. If you guys wanna open a food truck I'll invest. Only missing one star because the bbq sauce was not my style. My only suggestion is have a red/brown spicy bbq sauce. One day I will ask why no sign. read more

You can talk about all your Favorite Rib joints, bone even brag about their own recipe but they never gave me none to try.
