    Brisket Burger Baby Back Ribs Pork Beans Mac And Cheese

    Great staff, great Food, atmosphere was just soo good. As a first time visitor, I was greeted and treated well, told Maria it was my first time and she recommended some great choices, I went with the Baby Back Ribs and Sliced Brisket of course had to try the Brisket Sandwich and Mac and cheese with some pork Beans. Everything was so good I left pretty full and satisfied. I'll definitely come to visit again. Also Sienna was such a good employee as well, it seems like everyone in the restaurant was such good and positive mood and made me enjoy my meal. I was treated very well and great customer service and the food was very good 10/10 in my book!

    Baked Potato chop brisket
    Tayy W.

    I'm back 6 months later! Establishment is still clean however I ordered the same baked potato again and the meat ratio is completely different! Only half the meat but the meat cut is chunkier which has a nice bite. Just wish it would be more consistent with the amount to match the baked potato ratio. I also asked for my bbq sauce on side but they added it on. The manager at the time did ask if they could re make it for me but I didn't want tk wait any longer for the food. The food was still good in my opinion!

    $14.02 !?!! I'm so effing pissed. This is diabolical work! 3.5 slices of the most naked, driest, dog food, chicken tits I've ever seen. The audacity! They didn't even have the nerve to throw on 9 day old lettuce&tomato ?? No, because that would imply they gave 2 shits & we know that cannot be true. My heart shattered as I opened this box. Ohhh the betrayal. Count your days Duncanville ...you count your days! I could cry right now. IM STILL GOING TO EAT THIS THO! only 14 bites...to honor each dollar I THREW away

    I received a gift card for her for Christmas and decided to use it , but I didn't want BBQ from here. I got a cheese burger and fries and it was the best decision I've made all week. The burger is a 2 patty monster, the fries are like a steak cut and you get a heap of those. The burger was seasoned to perfection! I was throughly impressed really!! The next time I want a good burger I'll come back! Also the young lady that works the drive thru is extremely sweet!

    Ranch Beans

    It was my first time going to Pappas Bar-B-Q and my experience was good. I ordered through the drive thru, they were fast and friendly. I ordered the chopped beef fries and ranch beans, which I liked a lot... especially the beans. The beans had a nice sweet and spicy taste and the chopped beef fries were loaded with cheese, chopped beef, barbecue sauce, and chopped peppers. I'm looking forward to trying more.

    Beef Ribs

    I am so sorry I keep coming to this place!!!!! The beef ribs are so sub par in the amount of meat that they trim off the bone prior to cooking!!! A beef rib is suppose to be able to feed at least 2 persons!!!! Pecan Lodge please come and teach them how meat is to be trimmed!!! Wow! I am still disappointed in their business model as to how to cheat a customer out of their money! There has got to be a better alternative for a beef rib in the lower sector of Dallas county!!!! If you know of one please let me know. I am in need of help!! Enjoy eating but not at this plac

    Whenever I want some absolutely delicious BBQ close to home, Pappas is theeeee place!!! I absolutely love their pork ribs, beef sausage AND pulled pork! That's amazing smoked flavor goes all through their ribs...so much that I don't even have to use their BBQ sauce (which btw is BOMB !). My hubby & I typically do their drive through & for the amount of food we end up buying, they are pretty reasonable. I've done carry out as well & they is super quick because you pick out the meats & they cut it to your specifications. Sorry, no pics because I drove right in & forgot to take them...lol! One of my favs for BBQ!

    The worst BBQ I've tasted in Texas. Please close this Pappas! I'm used to the Pappa brand being quality delicious food. Food was cold, sides were cold. I guess when a BBQ restaurant is empty on a Friday night that's a clue. Oh, but they have a military discount. Still not worth the drive from Mansfield. Heart 8 has them beat with their eyes closed. Again, close it down and save the Pappa Brand.

    Inside
    Lizeth N.

    We always see this restaurant because it's right beside Costco. To be honest I expected more of it. The ribs were a 4 out 10. They didn't really have flavor tasted mainly like salt. The beans were not good at all. Mac n cheese was pretty good. Now, my baked potato was okay only thing is that they gave me more fat than beef brisket. There was like hard pieces of meat so idk what that was. Maybe they used old meat or recooked meat. The inside is old fashioned but pretty cool. Overall, I will not be coming back. Sorry.

    Ribs and sausage with green beans.
    Jennifer J.

    If we could give ZERO STARS FOR SERVICE I WOULD!!! This is the third time we tried ordering here with a giftcard we received. Every time we have come the restaurant never has the half chicken we order. Today we can just as "lunch time" began and preserved and were told to pull around to pay. When we go tot the window instead we were met with a server who said "oh actually we don't have half chicken." So we asked what else they had and she closed the window in our face. Then we asked for a menu to make an alternate choice. When we ordered something different, we were told to pull forward and wait until after other cars behind us received their food because our order was now after their order. We refused to be served after people who ordered after us. The lack of food at the restaurant and ineffective communication to us, the consumer, is not our problem. So we waited for the order at the window and the server had an attitude when she finally returned to the window with our food. We asked for the manager who was not very apologetic but instead said "well the chicken is popular". This is TERRIBLE SERVICE and supply of food.

    It was good! Ribs and sausage. Dirty rice and poblano corn were great.

As soon as I walked in, who I believe was the owner greeted me and was one of the kindest, most welcoming people I've met. He took the time to walk me through the menu and answer my questions, which I really appreciated. I ended up ordering one of their loaded potatoes with pulled pork and beef, and it was incredible (you get a good amount of meat) honestly this potato was big enough for two people to share. I also tried the mac and cheese and green beans soooo good! I didn't finish most of it, but only because I had to get back to work I knew if I ate the whole thing, I wouldn't get anything done after! That's how filling it was. The atmosphere was great too. Plenty of seating, multiple TVs playing NCAA games very welcoming vibe.

You don't always get that level of care and patience when ordering back home. I'm already looking forward to my next trip to Dallas so I can come back and try more of the menu.

There's a huge yard out back with plenty of picnic tables, which makes it perfect for hanging out when the weather's nice. Inside, the space is small, comfy, and neat. It feels well put together without trying too hard. There's even a fireplace that adds a nice touch--no idea if it's actually working, but it fits the vibe. The staff here really stands out. Super friendly, very polite, and they keep things simple--you order at the corner, grab a seat, and they bring the food out to you. Easy and efficient. I went with the brisket taco, and it delivers. This isn't a tiny street taco--it's loaded. You get brisket, salsa negra, avocado crema, and pickled onions. The balance works really well. The salsa brings some acidity to cut through the fat, while the crema smooths everything out. Every bite comes together nicely. As for the brisket itself, the seasoning is solid but not overly aggressive. Personally, I'd like a bit more bark--it was a little thin for my taste. That said, the smoke ring is very prominent, and you can taste that deeper smoke flavor. Texture-wise, it was very tender--easily cut with a plastic fork. I did catch it later in the afternoon, and the lean slices were just a bit on the dry side for me. Overall, the vibe here is awesome and the tacos are legit. This is a spot I'll definitely be coming back to--looking forward to giving the brisket another shot, plus trying the pork ribs and some sides.

The ribs are done very well with a good amount of smoke put on them; even if the ends lacked some juiciness the flavor made more than up for them being a bit tough.

The sauce appears and from the taste lends itself to a thicker, ketchup and molasses based sauce with some kick and a solid shot of black pepper.

Honestly, it wouldn't shock me if it cracks the Top 10 next time around. This place is exactly what you want in a serious BBQ joint. Small. No frills. Tucked off I-35 in Oak Cliff. A handful of tables inside, a few more outside, and zero wasted energy on anything that doesn't involve the food. That's usually a good sign... and it was. I went all in with the Texas Trinity Plate. Brisket, pork ribs, jalapeño sausage. No regrets. The brisket was the star. Deep, dark bark with a heavy pepper kick that hit right away. Perfect smoke ring. Tender without falling apart. Juicy without being greasy. Every bite had that rich, smoky flavor that separates good BBQ from the real deal. The ribs were solid. Great flavor, nice bite, but leaned a little heavy on the smoke for me. Not a deal breaker, just noticeable. Still very good and worth ordering. The jalapeño cheddar sausage was a win. Juicy, packed with flavor, and just enough heat to keep things interesting without overpowering everything else. Then the surprise... the sweet potato casserole. That thing deserves its own review. Rich, slightly sweet, and those candied pecans on top took it to another level. Not an afterthought side, this was legit. Bottom line... Smokey Joe's is the kind of place BBQ people talk about when they say "you've gotta try this spot." It absolutely holds its own among the best in Texas, especially outside that elite Top 10 tier.
