    Brisket, turkey, Mac and cheese and fries
    Jenelle B.

    Walk up to the counter and order. The server writes your name on parchment on a tray and then start heaping on the goods! We ordered the smoked turkey and brisket. The brisket was delicious, the turkey a bit dry. Sides of potato salad, baked beans, fries and tots were good and generous portions. The Cesar salad was large and very fresh. The wings were a highlight - very flavorful and large drummies. But the stand out was the fresh made pecan pie! Be sure to add a piece!

    Fried green tomato sandwich with fries

    It had been awhile since we have visited Sugarfire. As a vegan, I was disappointed to see that the smoked portobello sandwich was no longer in the menu. That was so good. Instead, there is a fried green tomato sandwich. I ordered without the cheese and ranch and fries as my side. My husband (who is not vegan) got the 3 meat platter with baked beans and green beans for sides. He ended up taking some home because it was too much. My fried green tomato sandwich was good. It also had some light creamy coleslaw. I would have preferred more green tomato and less coleslaw. But, a unique sandwich. Fries were good but greasy. Weather go bad, so we decided wait out the storm and split a piece of apple pie. So delicious! Service was good. Ambiance is family friendly. I just wish there were some more things on the menu for me.

    Been coming here since they opened, food is always good but not as good as it used to be. The brisket was not tender and a bit tough, still good flavor though. Tasted old to me? The bun was hard and old tasting too!

    We ordered the Big Meat combo. It had ribs, sausage, brisket, pulled pork and salmon (rather than something else for small upcharge). The meats were good. Ribs and pulled pork best. Brisket was fatty. Sausage okay. Salmon needed cooked another minute or so. Potato salad was cool with lots of dill flavor. Green beans had enough bacon we think we got the bottom of the pot. Wife and I thought we were have a little bit of green beans with our bacon. They were very good, but more green beans to bacon ratio would have been better. We had some Frostie Root Beer which is one of my favorite root beers. I waited a week or more before putting in this review and now don't remember the person's name we spoke with. Linda or Debbie I think. She was very nice. This was the best barbecue I had all day and Best barbeque I ever had in St Louis. I would check it out if I were you.

    Ribs? Three of the four were great but that end rib was almost crunchy overdone. Brisket? Great! Beer-braised cabbage? Excellent. Cole slaw? Good. I was hoping for turkey breast but they were sold out at 7pm. We got a takeout order this evening and brought it next door to Mackenzie Brewing because what goes better with beer than barbecued meat? I like the self-service sauces, getting one of the Honey Badger and one of the Texas Hot. Both went really well with the brisket, the honey going better with the ribs. The meal was well packed for the journey (about 30 steps down the shopping center) and still quite hot. I'd do this again though I suggest you check the ribs to make sure they're all good.

    I was told this is the place for brisket. The menu definitely had a unique variety of items. You're able to get a sample of all their sauces. The white BBQ was the most unique, and it was the best tasting. The brisket cheesesteak sounded delicious at the time, but consuming it was anything but that. With all the cheese and other ingredients, keeping everything together as a sandwich was near impossible. And you aren't able to taste the brisket with all the additional stuff. I honestly just had a lot of cheese sauce on my hands. And I usually LOVE cheese, but this was a pain in the butt. Think picking up pieces of soggy bread, meat, and veggies eating with messy hands. Picking this was a dud. Even my mac n cheese side wasn't what I expected. It was creamy but didn't have a lot of flavor. The hubs on the other hand ordered the 2 meat combo: brisket and smoked salmon. Though the brisket was good, it wasn't mouth wowing. It was just okay. The smoked salmon was so so. There wasn't a ton of flavor in the salmon. And for the amount of brisket and salmon, it was just sad. He ordered sides from the "Sunday Sides" menu hanging off the big chalk board: cheese burger helper along with baked beans. The cheese burger helper was surprisingly much more tasty and flavorful than my mac n cheese. The baked beans had a ton of flavor in it as well. Overall with the food quality, portions, and prices, I don't think I'd be back honestly.

    Amazing food and their sweet tea is exceptional! all of their sauces are delicious. Highly recommend

    Brisket sandwich with plain tots

    I haven't been a big fan of Sugarfire from past visits but a chance catering event where brisket was served. I was pleasantly surprised! That prompted a visit the restaurant to see if it was consistent. It was! I went with the brisket and tator tots! I can't resist tator tots! It was t a fluke, the brisket was really good. Tator tots were hot and fresh! Coffee BBQ sauce was good even though it was in a packet. Service was pretty good, everyone was friendly with the exception of the cashier. She was very disinterested in doing her job. Based on the brisket, we will be back.

    Chipotle smoked bologna special
    Robert B.

    Solid barbecue restaurant with rotating specials. We came by after axe throwing and got a couple of different things. Everything was good and came out quickly, except for the smoked bologna special that we ordered. It took quite a while and everyone else was about half done by the time it came out. We did discover that the cornbread can be toasted for you as well, which was amazing. This is the only way that we will order it again in the future. The staff was friendly and was quick to clean things from the table. Restaurant was clean and well organized, wish they sold some of the shirts that the staff had!

My research brought me here to Pappy's. I'm very glad it did. Ambiance starts with a line out the door, literally. You slowly shuffle down a long hallway full of Pappy's memorabilia. Then you make it to the ordering counter, order, and find a table. The dining room is huge, plenty of tables, with a full complement of sauces on each table. The service people at the counter were friendly, and so were the people delivering the food. The food came out quick and hot and delicious. We had baked beans and potato salad for sides, and they were pretty solid. Nothing show-stealing, but no complaints about them whatsoever. And of course, we got the ribs. Tender, juicy, a nice bite and chew, a decent bark, just a really wonderful rib. Better than any St. Louis style rib I've ever had back home in Florida. Other states, hard to say, the jury's out, but in that moment, I was eating a five-star rib. So good. We also got a 1/4 pound of the Burnt Ends. Usually, burnt ends are the king of meats, but I think we've entered the phase of America, where they're just another variety of meat and not necessarily upper echelon anymore. That being said, these were pretty ok. Should have gotten more ribs. Overall, Pappy's was pretty wow. Great local spot with a lot of pride and history, excellent ribs, I will definitely try to come back next time I'm in town.

It's not hard to see why The Food Network rated Pappy's as the "#1 rib joint in the country", as this place is next level bbq. You can smell the bbq from down the street and it will instantly make you hungry, even if you just ate... The place has the "cool bbq joint vibes", the employees are ultra-friendly, and it's fair/reasonable priced based on the quality of the food (runs between $40-50 for two people). Strongly recommend getting ribs, but their smoked chicken and turkey are outstanding as well. I didn't love their original bbq sauce (it was too thick and sweet with a heavy molasses flavor), but the hoodoo spicy sauce was out of this world. I would put Pappy's up against some of the other big named bbq joints in the country and they'd hold their own... Definitely worth the stop when in STL.

I had never had brisket before having that sandwich, now my mouth waters any time I talk about this restaurant! The cole slaw that I had as a side provided the perfect crunch and balance.

I ordered the 2-meat plate: brisket, ribs, baked beans, and potato salad. The brisket and the sides were definitely my favorite parts. The brisket was so tender, it basically fell apart in my hands! It was delicious! The baked beans were tangy and sweet, and the potato salad was creamy. I didn't like the ribs, they were very dry and definitely not worth the money. The barbecue sauces are in bottles on the table; my personal favorite was the Honey Badger, sweet with a little bit of heat. I found the Coffee BBQ sauce to be the most interesting; I have never had anything like it before. The coffee notes were subtle and helped balance out the smoky flavors. While I enjoyed the majority of my food, I am not sure if I will be returning. It was a nice experience, but the dry ribs left me feeling disappointed.

And we were even reminded of the "whistle stop" which is when a freight train rolls through unexpectedly and many drinks are half off during that time. It happened once during our 2+ hour visit. This is a barbecue place with many options for carnivores. During Lent season, they have a delicious fish sandwich available. It's really limited options though if you're vegetarian. That may change when they add some Mexican food to the menu soon. I hope. We chose to visit on a night when performer Terrance Wafer was playing. He played known top hits on an acoustic guitar with incredible vocals. We really enjoyed listening to him. I'm already looking forward to returning here.
