Great food, horrible service. Don't bother with the morning drive-through for breakfast tacos unless you can guide them step-by-step through in order. No napkins, no straws, no salsa, 20 minute wait in the line. I get that everybody is struggling for staff right now, but this is just the obvious stuff. You would think after having to ask for things multiple times, the drive-through staff would catch a hint. But I will say that the food is always fresh, hot, and excellent. Just wish they would train their staff a little read more

Placed a simple order for the half rack of baby back ribs. Not only did it take them 35 minutes while getting other orders out. Once I received my order it was still incorrec. read more

Pappas Bar-B-Q - Barbeque Near Me - Humble, Texas

Large brisket dinner with two sides and a drink for $20. The brisket was smoked and tender. I preferred it without the bbq sauce. Side salad was pretty large and consisted of lettuce, cucumber, carrot, tomato, radish, bacon (optional), and onions. The roasted yams were my favorite. Everything else was pretty much average. read more

How do you run out of salsa when you serve breakfast tacos? I expected more from a restaurant charging these prices! Do better Pappas.

Ordered a chef salad and a beef brisket sandwich and waited 20minutes for it. Went inside considering it'd be faster. While waiting another gentleman was upset on his wait as well. Too expensive for the service offered. Also asked for bbq on my sandwich and they didn't add any. To top it off look at the meat on the chef salad read more

This location was very very good. I had the half rack of baby back ribs with cole slaw and the cucumbers with the onions for sides- amazing. was with a friend from out of state who wanted some texas barbecue and this was nearby. The location near my house I tried close to closing.......everything seemed not terribly fresh- but this location great. Only complaint they were out of alot of desserts at 6 on a wednesday. That was an issue at the other location too. read more

Picked up curbside yesterday I was not too pleased with my order. I ordered a chopped beef baked potato and it was super dry. My husband had the 2 meat 2 side combo. The brisket had none of that Smokey flavor the chicken looked as if it was microwaved. Save your money and get real bbq. Won't be coming here again read more

It's been awhile since I have to post a review and that's because I haven't had anything to complain about. My food has been perfect every time. But here we go with the shenanigans and this time Hilsa is the manager on duty. First thing the cashier was on her phone and there was no one at the ToGo counter then she finally asked me if I was placing an order. You have all these kids working and playing. If my order is right then I'm good but it's times like these. read more

Visited last night. Extremely pricey for minimal portion- which were served at lukewarm temperatures. Ranch beans were nothing but the "soup" no beans in the bowl. Potato salad tasted like vinegar. Creamed corn out of a can with no seasoning and was cold. NO clean silverware! Asked for a real fork and employee said there were NONE clean. Manager thought more about replacing paper rolls in ticket machine's than in ringing us up. No offer of bread. Sauce bottles designed to be shared by multiple tables not wiped or clean. Pappas family has been doing this restaurant thing for too many years at too high a price point to Settle for subpar food. Won't be back. read more

I went to Pappas drive through and I got bad service. Believe me check your food before you leave that window because when you get home you will be disappointed. I ordered the 3 pork ribs plate, 1/2 chicken and sausage and 2 pork ribs and sausage. You trust them to give you there best product or food. But this is what I got. You tell me am I wrong for being mad. This is not the first time this has happened to me. I got catfished. read more

This is my second time this has happened. Yesterday Mother's Day was busy. I ordered my food got home missing my bbq fries. Don't know how this restaurant operates. It was several workers doing one order it's a mix up waiting to happen. Need better organization on to go orders. read more

When I first got in here I was kind of unsure what I wanted so I asked if I can have chicken but only the dark meat the young man told me no I had to get the whole chicken that they no longer separate the white meat from the dark meat. Still I was rushed and just settled on the whole chicken the macaronis looks a little loose potato salad was the best and when placing your order in the line you got to know what you want because they will rush you in the line there should be two lines one if you're ready and one for if you're unsure Chicken appear to be not smoked all the way I showed this chicken to the manager he said this is how the chicken comes out and it is smoked all the way read more

We tried this place for the first time and it was alright, food was bland and overpriced, and side orders are tiny. We won't be coming back.

Ordered a poor boy sandwich with loose cut beef got hamburger bun and leather the leather was the beef pasta salad taste like Floating noodles in water no seasoning no nothing got to do better you all are not cheap can't get a barbecue fix if the food is horrible. read more

The taste of their food is better than other locations I've been to. It tastes authentically smoked and marinated. The only thing I will say about this location is that you have to double check your to go order. I haven't eaten inside, but I do to go weekly for their weekend wings. There's always something we didn't receive in our bag from the sauces to the sides to not full pounds of meat. Other than that, it's all good lol. read more

Food was excellent haven't been to this establishment in a while but I'm glad to see their food standards are above and beyond ! As far as the workers very unorganized tonight with little to no people to attend so being packed wasn't an excuse. We were left without our sides till we were done with our main meal I had to go up and ask for them which they hadn't forgotten all about. read more

Great food I made a order and it was ready when I got there curbside 10-15 minutes or so. read more

Two Stars For Service - Three Stars For Food I really want to love Pappas Bar-B-Q believe me I do. But, my two most recent experiences at two separate locations have left a lot to be desired. Let's get the good out of the way first. I love their burgers and fries. Their burgers are huge. Come hungry and leave satisfied. They are seasoned well. The vegetables have always been fresh on them. The hand cut french fries are as good as anywhere I've ever had them. They are excellent. What I can't seem to get past is just how slow their service is. I knew we were in trouble when we arrived and saw the line of cars wrapped around the building. I'd love to say that going inside was a better experience but alas, it was not. The line moves excruciatingly slow. We're talking snail's pace here. Once you do place your order, the waiting doesn't end there. When it was about 20 minutes since I had paid for my order, I decided to go back to the counter to see my order sitting in the window. I wonder how long it had been there? Why had they not called my name or paged my table pager? The world may never know. I'm not saying they're bad folks because they aren't. But they definitely need to step up their game and get the food out a little faster. You can do better Pappas Bar-B-Q! read more

I'm only leaving a review because I glanced at this and found it shocking that you guys are only giving Pappas a 2.5. Then I started reading the comments and saw that you guys are lazy! Everybody complaining seems to be going through the drive-thru. Get your butt out of your car go in and pick up the delicious barbecue. It's good. Is it the best? No. Is it damn good? Yes! Brisket, delicious. Beef rib, yes! Pulled pork, yum. Sausage both beef and pork, hell yes! Dirty rice, yum. It's good. I do not agree at all with this load rating. Go and have a feast! I have many times when I'm too lazy to drive into the City and go to one of the more refined barbecues that uses prime meat. This is an awesome substitute if you want to have something around town. It's just good if you want barbecue. read more

The baby back ribs were so GOOD! Melt in your mouth. Awesome BBQ sauce. will come back for more soon. read more

Food is delicious burgers are most definitely worth buying.. the burgers come out looking very nice and the fries are always fresh and seasoned perfectly read more

Great BBQ pork ribs, brisket and sausage. Mac & cheese is wonderful. Dirty rice is great tasting. Order ahead with app. Curbside server was fast and easy. Went on on Sunday around 6pm, there was a lane around the building from the drive through lane. read more

Visiting Houston for work. The ribs and brisket were dry. There wasn't much flavor to the meat. I consider bbq good when no sauce is needed. The sauce should be a bonus. I had the ranch beans and potato salad as my side choices. They were decent. My coworker had the sausage, which I tried and it was good. The pecan pie was good as well. Would not recommend it if you're looking for good bbq. read more

Relly good bbq at a reasonable price. 1/2 chicken with 2 sides was only about $10. Nice smoked flavor in the chicken. Lots of sauce selections and also a sides bar which was nice. Counter order and pick up. Would highly recommend this bbq joint. read more

Never did I think I would have received such a disappointing meal from Pappas BBQ. My first impression of the sloppy ness was disturbing. However, I thought- well, don't judge a book completely by its cover. The potato was discussing. Not to mention, I order two orders of sliced beef and received 2 orders of chopped/minced beef. With the total amount of money we wasted , this had been such a bad experience. 0 rating read more

Pappas Bar-B-Q - Worst Baked Potato ever made - Barbeque Near Me - Humble, Texas

The food was delicious and the portions were generous! I was not able to eat all of it. We got the 2 meat platter that comes with 2 sides and white bread. It is a cafeteria style restaurant but the line went quickly. read more

If you're hungry and need a quick meal, don't come here. It took us 30 minutes to get through the line with 3 orders ahead of us. We were charged for additional food because the man at the counter told my husband "hurry I need to go to the bathroom". We then received the wrong food because they misunderstood our order, not sure how you get combo plate from a poboy, but that's okay. It really wasn't a big deal, we just asked that it was corrected and were given attitude. Take my advice and drive the extra 10 minutes to Spring Creek BBQ, you'll have quicker service and less attitude. read more

Craving a rib sandwich! Stopped by PAPPA'S BBQ to my surprise the drive thru line is long! I thought to myself I wonder what kind of special they were having. NAH There's a young lady outside taking orders because their drive-thru order machine is broken. Dang- no special just a long line today for me for a well cooked rib sandwich, pickles, and pickled carrots. }:{ read more

I used to come here pretty often for the chopped beef baked potato and I always enjoyed it. I came on Saturday and was so disappointed. The potato was undercooked, the meat was flavorless, and I bit into a rather large piece of bone (bone is my best guess) They also got rid of the soft serve machine :( read more

So much going for going out to have a bbq meal. Had kids running up and down the aisle for 30 minutes screaming and flinging food at us. parents could have cared less and management the same. one should be able to go to a restaurant and not have kids running into you because they are running around the restaurant screaming. read more

I've been going to this location for over 10 years and it's has continued to decline. I'm afraid today was my last visit. The prices continue to rise and the portions continue to get smaller. Got the beef trio which is now $26 and looked like a joke, one piece of brisket cut in half, 1 rib and small piece of sausage, comes with 2 sides that used to come in a bowl now they put it in little plastic cups. I used to like this place because it was a good value, I understand prices are going up but why make the portions so small. You might save a little on food cost but when customers don't return is it worth it? Years ago they got rid of the free soft serve ice cream but as long as the BBQ was good I kept coming, but now they have you leave hungry with tiny portions and big prices. Plenty of other places. read more

As a bbq aficionado this place unfortunately does not cut it. The beef rib was dry and chewy as was the brisket. Very little flavor and over spiced. Great BBQ feels good after you eat it. But I only received a stomachache :-(. Avoid this establishment if you can. read more

I have ordered large "value packs" from here on a few occasions. Typically, when I order from here, I am feeding 20-40 people. I have had more than on person tell me how much they enjoy their sliced turkey. I typically don't like pork sausage regardless of where I order it. I don't think their pork sausage is bad, it's just not my preference. The staff at this location is friendly and accommodating. The last time I ordered here, I needed the food quickly. Chris was very helpful and had food for 40 people ready in about 75-80 minutes. To be fair, I have only ordered food in bulk. I have never dined-in at this particular location. If you find this review helpful, please let me know. read more

After waiting 20 minutes in the drive thru to get a breakfast taco, I check it and it had a 1/4 slice of bacon on it, NO cheese, 2 rings of chives and potatoes! WHAT!? $3.45 oh no ma'am! I don't eat eggs frequently so I had ordered the taco no eggs, so one would think they'd add a little more of what I did ask for on the taco, Quite the opposite! I gave it back and she said tacos have 3 slices of bacon, HA! Not that one! She looked and saw it was way short, I told her to add the egg, bacon and cheese! Dang!! Gotta beg a follow up with these folk doing their simple job! Are they're taking the food left after breakfast home? Make every taco the way you'd want yours! I will stick with lunch only from this place!! Poor value for the price!! read more

My mom waited over an hour in the drive-thru at Pappas Bar-B-Q in Humble, TX. She paid $26.00 for two pitiful chopped beef sandwiches. I weighed them when she got home. 6.9oz. We will not be going back to this location. Super frustrating! read more

I love the Brisket from here and the ranch is amazing. The service needs some improvement especially when ordering to-go. I've had missing item in at least 50% of my orders. Some so blatant as receiving stuffed baked potato toppings but not receiving the potato. This has happened 3 times at this location. read more

Excellent bbq turkey and bbq chicken. The ranch beans aren't just pinto beans. They add a meat mixture which makes them even better. The original sweet bbq sauce has a kick to it but nothing too spicy. The cucumber salad is signature and unique to this restaurant. As for the dining area, it's spacious and has quiet areas all around the dining room divided by partitions which is nice. I'll definitely come here again when flying out of Houston. read more

This was our second visit here in which we took my mother in law and let's just say she knows her food. She was very impressed with the amount and taste of the pork ribs. They were very tender and seasoned. I had the hot and spicy wings which were just your average wings nothing fancy. Crew was a little disorganized but overall another good experience. read more
