The Pappas BBQ Menu has been winning hearts since the very first smoke rolled out of its Houston pit. Founded by the Pappas brothers in the early 1970s, this legendary Texas joint began as a small family eatery focused on slow-smoked meats, hearty portions, and true Southern hospitality. Progressively, Pappas BBQ expanded across Texas, bringing its signature brisket, ribs, and pulled pork sandwiches to countless hungry BBQ lovers.
What made Pappas BBQ famous wasn’t just its tender meats—it was the flavor born from hours over oak wood and recipes passed down for generations.
As the restaurant grew, so did its offerings, with fan favorites like loaded baked potatoes, smoked turkey, and savory sides joining the menu.
Few know there’s also a Pappas BBQ secret menu, featuring unique twists and off-menu combinations for true fans. Still, the original slow-smoked brisket—the dish that started it all—remains the beloved centerpiece that keeps Texans coming back for more.
