Pappas Bar-B-Q, Barbecue restaurant in Harris County, Texas.
Pappas Bar-B-Q is a barbecue restaurant specializing in smoked meats like brisket, ribs, pulled pork, and chicken prepared over hickory and mesquite wood. The kitchen uses a straightforward seasoning approach with salt and pepper before the long smoking process.
The restaurant was founded in 1967 by brothers Chris and Harris Pappas as The Brisket House. It grew from this beginning into multiple locations across several states.
The preparation of brisket follows Texas barbecue traditions, using only salt and pepper rub before smoking the meat for over 24 hours.
The restaurant operates multiple locations in the Houston area and one in Dallas, where guests can dine in or arrange catering services. Popular times may involve waiting, so visiting during off-peak hours can be more comfortable.
Each restaurant employs pitmasters who train for a minimum of two months to master the specific techniques of smoking and timing meat preparation.
