History
In 1967, a little restaurant known as the Brisket House opened on Pierce Street, near downtown Houston. This became the first venture for Texas-born Chris and Harris Pappas, and the start of a restaurant company that would grow significantly over the next 40 years. In 1996, the Brisket House changed its name to Pappas Bar-B-Q. By 2005, six locations were scattered across Houston and one in Dallas. Today Pappas Bar-B-Q has grown to 17 Pappas family owned and operated Texas locations, and the foundation remains unchanged: Quality food and fast service.
Specialties
Pappas Bar-B-Q offers high quality meats, spice rubbed and slow-smoked in a secret wood blend. Our barbecue is served fresh from the pits all day. Everything is homemade - from the pecan pie, chunky potato salad and crispy slaw to the savory sauces and bold ranch beans. Even the salads are fresh cut daily!

Lunch was hot and delicious today, we shared a half chicken, side salad, and creamed corn. The girls enjoyed every bite, there was nothing to take home. The service was great and very fast.
