St. Louis Pappy’s Smokehouse Bar-B-Que is quite possibly my favorite place to eat in town. Featured on ABC’s The Chew, Food Network’s Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives, and many other television shows in the past several years, this seven year old restaurant smokes a specific amount of food every day. When they sell out, they close down.
For my husband and me, it was a popular date spot when we first started dating. The idea of being able to have delicious green beans, pork without the bun, and cole slaw while staying on our no/low-carb diet was splendid. This restuarant somehow made it into our engagement pictures, and when it came down to our wedding, Pappy’s was the cheapest catering place within 200 miles.
If you are looking for places to eat when visiting St. Louis, this is a place you cannot miss. Remember, this is not your average dinner place. Go for lunch, and go early if you want food…they will close when they sell out. Mr. Pappy himself is usually there, manning the door and making sure the restaurant runs smoothly. If you are from St. Louis and haven’t made it out to Pappy’s Smokehouse, be ashamed and run toward Midtown quickly.
