It was started in 2008 by Mike Emerson, who previously worked at another barbecue restaurant called Super Smokers.[1][3][4] The restaurant was named after Emerson's late brother, Jim.[2]
Pappy's sells Memphis-style ribs, and ribs are barbecued without sauce.[3] The ribs are dry-rubbed and cooked over applewood and cherrywood for four hours; customers can add a variety of barbecue sauces in squeeze bottles when they eat.[3][5] The restaurant sells tons of ribs daily.[3][6] It is noted to have long lines and the restaurant closes when the ribs run out.[6][7]
The restaurant has received widespread media attention. The Food Network ranked it as #1 in its list of the best barbecue ribs in America.[8] The ribs have been showcased on Steve Harvey in 2017.[9] TripAdvisor ranked it as #10 among top barbecue restaurants in America in 2015.[10] It is listed under Zagat’s “50 States, 50 Favorite Restaurants” in 2017.[11] After being showcased on Man v. Food, the restaurant created a dish called “The Adam Bomb”.[12]
Numerous celebrities have visited the restaurant, including Jimmy Kimmel, Willie Nelson, and Flavor Flav.[7]
A second location is expected to open in St. Peters, Missouri.[13]
