Pappies Smokehouse & Lunch Box — Restaurant in Gas City

Really wanted to like this place based on previous reviews. Plus I enjoy supporting small businesses. Unfortunately, that was not the case. Went in a Monday afternoon with only one other patron in the dining area. The atmosphere is welcoming. However, the table was so sticky we had to lay napkins down just to be able rest our arms without sticking. Very off putting. I ordered the brisket sandwich meal with fries. It came out cold. The waitress took my meal back to the kitchen. Fries came back hot. The brisket sandwich was topped with a cold bun and served with refrigerator cold bbq sauce. You can imagine it made the brisket cold. My mother ordered a no meat spud with onion and and cheese. She chose to forfeit her 3rd topping option but after getting it, it was clear, she needed to order more cheese. Smh. Online menu prices, reflected on their site, are not the same as the dine in paper menu. Dine-in patrons are served on foam plates with plastic cutlery. We paid approximately $35 for 2 sodas, a baked potato, small side of green beans, brisket sandwich, fries, and a cup of cheese sauce. I did give my feed back to the lead waitress. I received an explanation that sauces are kept refrigerated due to health code and preservation and that buns are not warmed but served at air conditioned room temperature. Overall, was a very disappointing visit to Pappie's...

I used to love this place but I feel like out of nowhere they decided to change their menu and gas light folks/over charge. A couple months ago you could order a pulled pork sandwich meal and it would come with 2 sides. I attempted to order a meal and they gas lit me into thinking it has always came with 1 side. The pictures of the meal literally has two sides in it. The lady was rude and if you decide to just buy the other side its 5-6 extra dollars just for a small portion of Mac & cheese. Also never dine-in, all of their tables are sticky and always will be. You can tell they used to have glass sheets on them and they ripped it off so all you feel is the left over adhesive while you are trying to eat. Honestly pappies has went downhill and it started with their rude customer service. I recommend “Obi’s Barbecue” or “Jefferson Street...

One of my all-time favorite stops, especially during the summer months. Top-notch food and service and with an atmosphere of a classic BBQ restaurant. I've recommended Pappies to hundreds. I love supporting mom and pop places like this, because you're guaranteed a great meal that has smoky flavor. My favorite meal is a double portion of the BBQ Chicken with a side order of slaw and baked beans! And the amount you get, you'll not walk away hungry! I'll definitely keep coming back for more BBQ. As a food reviewer, I've tasted many different kinds of BBQ and this smoky style ranks up there with the best! If you're looking for a great family dining experience along with excellent BBQ with tons of options....look no further than Pappies! This place knocks it out...
