Pappas Bar-B-Q
Pappas Bar-B-Q is a point of interest in Downtown, Houston, Texas, located at 1100 Smith St, Houston, Houston, TX.
Pappas Bar-B-Q is a beloved Houston-born BBQ institution founded in 1976 by Chris and Harris Pappas, rooted in a Greek immigrant family legacy of hospitality stretching back to 1897. Renowned for slow-smoked pit barbecue cooked on commercial wood-burning rotisserie pits fueled by a hickory and mesquite blend — with pitmasters tending fires 24/7 — the restaurant is best known for its Certified Angus Beef® brisket with a crispy, smoky bark and house-made garlic sausage crafted from a generations-old recipe. Every element is made from scratch: 10–18 pork shoulders smoked per location daily, BBQ sauce built from ~25 ingredients over 6–7 hours, and 450–600 lbs of potatoes hand-cut fresh each day. The casual, family-friendly atmosphere and generous portions make it a quintessential Texas BBQ destination for families, lunch crowds, and devoted brisket fans alike.
