Pappy’s Burgers & Barbecue - Rib tips...freaking AWESOME!

Pappy’s Burgers & Barbecue

OK, this is a long one but you'll see why...so my husband and I were traveling back from St. Louis…read moreMissouri passing through Granada, Mississippi when we stopped to get some gas for the last leg of our trip. While we were standing outside filling up our gas tanks, a deliciously, smoky scent wafted our way. When we finished gassing up, we actually followed the scent to the front door of Pappy's burgers and barbecue! There are a couple of things that I associate with good barbecue: for one, there's was this huge grill standing out just outside the front door. The SMELLS coming out of that thing were ridiculous! It made our mouths water! Since the grill was closed, I couldn't see was actually cooking inside of it so I hurried inside to get a view of what we might be potentially eating. We were not disappointed! The ribs and brisket on customer's plates look amazing! They were large cuts of brisket, (including the fatty side, which I personally LOVE), and the ribs were thick and meaty! We were ready to order and dig in but then we were told they were out of brisket and that the ribs were gonna take another hour to an hour and a half to fully cook they had sold out twice already! Mr. Bobby likes the meat to be ready to fall off the bone before offering it his customers. We tried to get him to pull the ribs early since they were cooked and we informed him that we were had been driving for over eight hours and were just passing through. We still had another 4 hours to drive at that point. He apologized, but insisted that the ribs wouldn't be ready for another hour and a half because they had to soak. We had a decision to make: did we simply move on and head home or wait an hour and a half for what we were hoping would be a delicious and rewarding experience? We decided to wait even if it meant that we were gonna be getting into New Orleans at night. We gambled, and decided to stay. Boy, am I GLAD we made that decision! During our hour and a half wait we met the owners of the establishment Mr. Bobby and his wife Mikki...(sorry Miss Mikki if I'm spelling your name wrong)! We also met many of the other staff members, as well as their grandson who was a kick! They were all the nicest people, and Mr. Bobby explained his process or (at least some of it), about what makes his food so great! it was a fascinating conversation! To put delight, they had smoked wings available, so we ordered a tray of six and shortly afterwards another tray of 10! They were so very good and moist! Meat falling off the bone indeed! For the record, I don't really like chickens drumettes. They tend to be a little dry for me. Can I tell you that I devoured seven of them and didn't look back? Even though we had to wait time passed rather quickly because the whole group were entertaining and fun to talk to! After eating the chicken wings, we were fillec with even more anticipation for the ribs. Mr. Bobby was completely out of brisket, but believe me, we will get it the next time we go! He also offers three barbecue sauces, all of which were very good, including the mustard one which I generally don't like. You could easily tell they were homemade, though he told us about some gentleman on Google review named Tim that tried to insinuate that the sauces were out of a bottle. I don't know where Tim is from but he has no clue what a homemade barbecue sauce taste like, apparently. Tim, you SERIOUSLY MISSED THE BOAT, BUDDY! if, for some all godly reason, you didn't like his food that's you're right, but to insinuate that the man didn't make his own sauce is just downright disrespectful! (and it shows a serious like a knowledge on your part). Anyway, the ribs delivered! They were moist and meaty, and the flavor was fantastic! They were full of smoke, and yet there was a sweetness about them at the same time. I don't know how to describe it; I just know I ate it all! Because we're were waiting for so long Mr. Bobby sent us home with some free drinks and some more of those dang wings! I think the only way they made it home was because we were both so stuffed from our meals. My grown children DEVOURED them once we got home! It's a four hour drive from Granada to New Orleans, but we are already planning to come back with our kids and some of their friends. This is one of a few places that I would make that 4 hour drive for. If you live in Granada, don't sleep on them! Thank God I don't, I'd be broke every month! Looking forward to seeing them again soon! Thanks, Mr. Bobby and Miss Mikki for the wonderful food and a wonderful hospitality! Our next project takes us in the other direction, but when we're on the way home, we're going to tell everybody to meet us at your spot! Oh! I almost forgot! He makes homemade cakes too! We had the red velvet! It didn't last too long...

I've only been here twice, BUT both times the food was outstanding.

It's a little pricier than what we generally like to spend for an average supper out, but I don't say that it isn't worth every penny... we're just cheap sometimes lol. Def worth it for a nice meal out!

I understand that, according to other reviews, the food and service may usually be good. However, I…read morewanted to share our experience on October 15, 2026, which was the day before my wife's birthday. Unfortunately, our experience was extremely disappointing. We started with two Tequila Sunrises and a Bloomin' Onion. The onion still had its tough outer layer attached, making it unpleasant to eat. My wife ordered the fried jumbo butterflied shrimp, which arrived soggy. I ordered the five-piece fried catfish plate, but each piece of catfish was only about two inches long, and the fish was soggy as well. Our total bill came to $101, and we left most of the food uneaten. What made the situation even more frustrating was that no one offered to remake our meals or make things right. The service itself was also disappointing. Normally, I believe in giving a restaurant a second chance, but we live two hours away, making that difficult. We left feeling that our $101 was wasted on a meal that fell far short of our expectations. Despite the disappointing food and service, we still left a 10% tip. I'm sharing this feedback because, for a meal that was supposed to be part of a special occasion celebrating my wife's birthday, the experience was a letdown. I hope management takes these concerns seriously and makes improvements so other customers do not have the same experience.

Hush puppies have no flavor but their baked beans, coleslaw and french fries are very good. Whether you're in the mood for catfish or barbecue, High on the Hog is the right place for you.

It's a walk up window for orders and they do have a couple of outdoor picnic tables under cover. They don't have a working phone number or shall I say the number on their menu is a fast busy. I ordered their Fried Fish plate, regular size that is suppose to come with 3 pieces of fish, choice of 3 sides, tartar sauce and Texas Toast. I love lemon juice on my seafood, was told they ran out yesterday and still have none. I got back to my hotel room and yes my Togo box has 3 pieces of fish, my three sides, onion rings, potato salad, and coleslaw. No tartar sauce, no Texas toast and 2 packs of ketchup. I tried calling, fast busy. They serve BBQ and many other items. I may give them a second try but I most definitely will check my order before leaving.

It took close to an hour to get food. We waited. Weren't even mad about it. At a point you just decide to wait it out once you're vested. Ya know, You just become ok. The sweet lady at the DT window takes one order at a time, rotates and yells it at the kitchen, takes your money, then waits until your food is ready and gives it to you. Then she waits on the next inside person inside repeating the same process. Back and forth from the counter to the DT. Pretty inefficient method that explains the long wait. There can't be much more economical than this. A half rack of ribs and two sides for $14. What the actual fuck? That is insane for March of 2024! A sandwich, side, and a drink for $7?!?!? Anyway. The bbq "meat" itself was pretty good. I had higher hopes for some good all around BBQ but the sauce just glopped it all up man. I didn't like it all and neither did the bride. Ribs were well cooked. Like I said the sauce was bad, and they were covered in it. It has gel like thing about it. It's sweet and like jelly.... Hard to explain. Beans were fair. White bread. Sandwich was impossible to eat as a sandwich. It just mushed under the weight of the copious amounts of jelly sauce and slaw. She just kind of got it in there with the foil it was in If I came back I would ask for no sauce or at least get it on the side. '24 - 25/100
