Pappy’s Smokehouse

Located in St. Louis’s Midtown, but with a cult following nationwide, Pappy’s Smokehouse serves some of the best barbecue in the Midwest.  The restaurant is named after the late Jim “Pappy” Emerson who brought an atmosphere of good food and good times to the community.  Pappy’s Smokehouse serves quality, homestyle food that makes all customers feel like family.  The meats are smoked “low and slow” for up to 24 hours over premium wood.  Then try four classic sauces, with sweet, vinegary, and spicy options.  Not only one of the best restaurants in St. Louis, Pappy’s Smokehouse has also been named one of the best barbecue restaurants in the nation.
