Pappy's Smokehouse Barbecue Restaurant ·$$

Pappy's makes no apologies. Their Memphis style barbecue, with the meat as the main attraction and the sauce as a perk, brings in meat mavericks from all over the city. Located near SLU's campus and frequented by famished students, Pappy's has become such a popular attraction that the kitchen sells out every night, so closing time varies. On weekends, don't risk waiting until the evening to get a fix because you may go home disappointed. With a reasonably priced menu and pure, uncut fully flavored meat by the platter or the pound, dieters need not even bother. Pappy's may be single-handedly responsible for the freshman 15 around these parts.

Pappy's smokehouse brings glory manifested in the ribs. Literally, the ribs are so tender that when you just brush the ribs ever so slightly, it just falls off. Flavor even without the sauces is...

Work trip to STL. I had one place I had to hit - Pappy's. Logistically difficult because of work hours v. open hours. Only one chance - be the first in line on the day I fly out, cram a full rack...
