Big Pappa’s Smokehouse & More — Restaurant in Baytown

We have been there like 4 times. The food was good the few times I was able to eat there. However, the last two times have been a fail. The time before last we all ordered, and I asked for NO sour cream on my baked potato. It came out with sour cream on it. So they then come out and say they have no more potatoes. So the rest of the family ate and I didn't because they all had their food already and I didn't want anything else. So we went on Friday at about 1:30 and they didn't have any potatoes. But they don't close until 7 pm. we asked if they were going to have anymore. We were told no by the kitchen staff. So we were leaving, and a guy( the owner, I'm guessing) came out and asked if we had a problem. I told him yes, y'all don't have any potatoes for the second time he said we could wait an hour, and they would have some more. Two times and service ( or lack there of) sucked so I don't think we'll be driving out of our way to go back there again. We had given good praise to friends and family from the first two visits, but not anymore. If you want a baked potato, don't waste your time because chances are they will be out. I guess they only make a hand full the first time they ran out it was...

Saw a post on fb about this place. What was posted looked delicious! So I took the chance and came to try this amazing looking food. Ordered the chopped brisket sandwich with a side of baked beans and side of macaroni and cheese. I am going to say this... The brisket was super delicious! Great smoked flavor and aroma! The bun was toasted and stayed together till the last bite! They didnt add any bbq sauce to hide any flaw in the brisket which was good. Oh and their sauce! The sauce was thin and light tasting. It complimented the brisket very well with a good hint of the apple cider vinegar and slight sweetness to complement that! Mac and cheese was very creamy, a little on the thicker side but it was good. And beans were sweet. I would definitely come back here again and very affordable for brisket along with the large portions given! If you wanna full belly and food with flavor and up to par, come to this hole in the wall. I guarantee you won't be disappointed! When I came in there wasn't anyone here it was about 11:30 but slowly picked up thru the next 30 min of eating. No loud music so you can have a conversation with whom ever...

I have traveled to and through Baytown quite a bit for work, and I didn't even realize this place existed until it was recommended to me.

The interior has plenty of seating, and plenty of room for a line, and with bbq this good there is often a line. That being said, I was incredibly impressed with how quickly the food came out. Also, we had a large group, and the cashier took down our orders with pen and pencil and there wasn't one mistake when the food came out. The staff was pleasant, helpful, and attentive.

The bbq is delicious. I was going to get a pick-2 plate with brisket and sausage, but then I saw the Pachon Baked potato that already had brisket and sausage on it, and I would definitely recommend it.

Some tips: Get a 3 Meat Plate to try a variety, or try one of their baked potatoes. All of their sides are good, but try their "crazy beans." There is extra bbq sauce on the table, and I liked the extra kick the "spicy" bottle provided. Lastly, ask for a to-go box, because odds are, with these portions, you're going to need...
