Visiting from out of town and saw this location close to my hotel. Decided to give it a try on a Monday night. Brisket, sausage, mac and cheese and beans with a sweet tea and two slices of bread. Nice spacious location easily accessible from the highway. Lots of seating inside. Large menu on the wall at the beginning of the line so you didn't have to wait till the last second to decide what you want. The three young ladies who helped me up at the counter were very friendly. Laughed at my old man jokes. That's always a good sign. 22.00 for everything including tax. Pretty comprable these days the most places. The brisket was moist and easy to cut with my fork. The sausage had a very nice taste to it. Mac and cheese was decent beans or what they are. I did take a moment after my meal to talk with the manager and tell him about the good service and the good food. They don't always need to hear the bad things I need to hear the good things as well. Certainly give this location to try in Humble. I have different locations around the Houston area so imagine you can give any of them a try.

Ordered via drive thru, the young lady that took my order was very attentive, patient and exemplified great customer service. Ilda the manager was very kind and patient with me via phone and my daughter when she went to pick up the potato. Ilda did explain to my daughter why there was so little meat. Higher ups in corporate should really reevaluate their menu and how it's served. 3 starss on food because we had to go back to get a new chopped beef baked potato, meat was very scarce. When paying almost $18 for food we should get what we pay for. I see now why some smaller establishments have higher traffic volume no matter the time of day.

I ordered the pork trio. Portion size was good. The meat was very tasty. I can taste the sweetness on the ribs. The pulled pork taste amazing with the habanero bbq sauce. The ranch beans had great taste. Overall it was great, just wish the meat was served a little warmer in temperature. Very clean and organized dinning area.

Food tasted great but was cold but I understand it was close to closing time. Staff was nice and greeted us and helpful. I love their fries they are the best compared to other BBQ places. The brisket in my sandwich was sliced thick and was nice and tender. Their dirty rice taste good just was cold so didn't enjoy it as much as I have in the past. I topped it all off with their Watermelon drink and it taste smooth and not sugary at all but just like watermelon. I would say that it is pretty pricey though, not sure if they went up recently but I spent $40 on 2 meals with a drink. This particular location was a nice and clean location with a great staff.

I had the Sweet Carolina sandwich on jalapeno cheese toast and it was quite good. The spicy rice side is like Mexican rice with chunks of brisket in it - pretty good. As chain BBQ joints go, I'd rate this one as one of the best I've been to.

The food was really good. My wife really liked the selection of side dishes. I prefer other barbecue restaurants that offer fresh baked bread rolls rather than just slices of bread, however. I thought the food was a little overpriced. We spent $35 for the two of us at lunch and only had water. And yet you get a good portion of food. The ambience is great with a wonderful Western look and feel and ceiling fans all connected together with a series of interconnected pulleys and belts.

I got the beef trio, and it was good I guess, but not groundbreaking bbq. My main issue is with the high price of this beef trio. I don’t think their fries taste that good either.

Ok Pappas, y’all taking the meat out the smoker a lil too soon. Eating out is too expensive for simple errors as such..Come on now. I understand y’all are pushing to get orders out, but this is not it. Also, stop asking,”would you like pickles & onions?”. Only to not put it in the bag. Last, but certainly not least. Running out of Turkey during lunch time should be a crime. I know, a little excessive;but still..Anyway, if anybody else happens to experience getting home & finding your chicken is undercooked. Wrap it in Aluminum foil, place in oven 200 degrees & eyeball for cook time.

Papas barbecue is OK. Given how many outstanding barbecue places there are in this region, OK is quite acceptable. No, they won’t be confused with any award winning barbecue cook off champions but the barbecue is real and genuine. The pit is visible for everyone to appreciate. It’s slow cooked and fairly tasty. Yes it’s always had a reputation as being somewhat expensive but quite frankly, ever since we returned from the pandemic shutdown, all restaurants are rather expensive. I called it the “pandemic premium” where restaurant prices seem to have risen around 20+ percent. Back to Papa’s, the pork ribs are good and this is one of the few places you can actually get beef ribs. There are large and meaty. Like I said before the barbecue meat it’s not bad. However my biggest problem with the size. The coleslaw has way too much mayo in it. The candid yams were darn right awful. They were undercooked and not very sweet. So if you’re hungry, pressed for time and in the area and you want some decent Q feel free to go by Papa‘s.

I should have trusted my gut and gone somewhere else. I haven't been in a while because the last time, over a year ago, was barely decent, but I figured I'd give it another shot. I went through the drive thru and sat at the speaker for several minutes before being greeted. I ordered a 2 meat combo with turkey and brisket. I don't think I could be more disappointed! There were 3, very small, edible pieces of brisket, and the rest was pure fat. So gross! The turkey did have good flavor, but it was really dry, and the green beans were crunchy and oily. Definitely highly disappointing and not worth $20. I won't be back. *The first 2 pictures show what wasn't edible, unless you like chewing on chunks of fat, and the last picture is the biggest piece of brisket I received.

Has COVID really changed everything or did restaurant owners just want to beef up the price and shrink the food items. I say like it is, the potato has gotten small and the price has grown. The staff was friendly except the girl at the register. Attitude was very very low and non motivated style. Place was full of boxes everywhere and the Papas quality has gone low low low. I won’t be coming back here for sure.

On 09/13/2025 @8:10pm I purchased a Board 1 with a pecan pie and cheesecake. I specifically asked the lady from the speaker to please put some bbq sauce on the side because this the third time I go and they forget to give me bbq sauce. Lady said it comes with it when I got home no barbecue sauce for my ribs and brisket, everytime I go I have to eat my food without bbq sauce for the last 3 times I been there. Smh please make sure Caylee C and Leydi M put bbq sauce when people order it because they do this all the time and I should have checked my order when I got it. I live im humble and I shouldn't have to drive all the way back to get bbq sauce now I have to eat my food again for the third time without bbq sauce I spent 70.00 and I can't even get bbq sauce. Smh. By the way I also ordered ranch style beans and they gave me macaroni 🤦🏻‍♀️

honestly it felt personal, the way all three of our potatoes 🥔 were packed was atrocious. never have i ever been treated this way at a pappas bbq

Terrible first-time experience!!! I was craving some bbq for 4th of July and decided to give this place a try. The chicken clearly wasn't finished. There's still blood on the inside. The sausage links were dry and nasty. The ranch beans were hard, so I'm not sure they were cooked long enough either. Cucumber salad, nasty. Potato salad, nasty. I definitely don't recommend this place at all. This place deserves 0 stars for the audacity alone. They need to seriously replace whoever is in the kitchen.

After paying $37 after a tip you'd think you have more pickles jalapeños and onions but the kicker was the 2 oz bbq sauce with 3/4 lbs of meat. Not to mention the dirt was crunchy and the beans had no flavor. I'm so disappointed. I would've gladly went to specs and drank for the same price and starved instead of still be hungry. But HAPPY CINCO DE MAYO
