Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Pappy's Smokehouse serves the best Memphis-style BBQ in St. Louis. Their meats are slow smoked for up to 14 hours over sweet apple or cherry wood, and after, they top them with one of their four signature BBQ sauces. Stop in and try the pulled pork sandwich or go big and get “The ‘Adam’ Bomb” (named for Adam Richman of Travel Channel’s Man vs. Food), which includes a bit of almost everything on the menu.

Founders Mike Emerson, John Matthews, and Michael Wegmann opened the joint in 2008, and you can find it right around the corner from St. Louis’s Harris-Stowe State University.
