    As soon as you arrive you ask for a menu, pick what you want and then come up to the cashier to place your order. This process was pretty painless. Of course I ordered a full slab or ribs and added a small side of their burnt ends for an additional $4.50. Being voted as the best ribs in America I again had a lot of expectations. But i was just a little bit (not a lot) disappointed for a couple of reasons. The ribs had great smoke flavor and it was definitely fall off the bone but it was a bit dry for my liking (again you may have a different take). But as soon as you start to eat the ribs, the more that I really wished it was more moist of a rib. Love the flavor of their dry rub as it definitely came out. I was a bit surprised about the burnt ends they gave me as it was more like a pulled beef. And I couldn't really enjoy the burnt parts. It was just ok for me. Their sauce, especially the hot one is DA BOMB. I wasn't a big fan of their slaw and the potato fries were a little bit over cooked to my liking.

    I was in Saint Louis for work and a local recommended this place for lunch. I walk in and was greeted and shown where to stand to order. Also was told that they have the best ribs in the country voted by The Food Network. They were not kidding. The ribs were amazing. I also had the baked beans with it and enjoyed them as well. Service was prompt and friendly. Very much a place that I would visit again

    EXCELLENT!!! We tried the pulled pork, pulled chicken and turkey sandwiches. Our sides included fried corn on the cob, baked beans, slaw and potato salad. EVERYTHING was AWESOME! SAUCES are DELICIOUS, too! I recommend JANE'S! We enjoyed the casual setting with lots of fun menus, articles, pics and autographs on the walls to look at! The HOSPITALITY at Pappy's is as AMAZING as their food! Don't let the lines scare you (although they may run out!)! This restaurant is INCREDIBLY well run! They don't miss a beat! Employees are ALL very COURTEOUS, GRACIOUS and HARDWORKING!!! Pappy's is one of my top 5 favorite restaurants in St. Louis! If you visit St. Louis, a meal at Pappy's is a must!!! KUDOS to the owner(s) and staff at Pappy's!!! WE WERE IMPRESSED!!!

    Pappy's was very good!! I never had fried corn on the cob before today and Loved it! My daughter had the catfish sandwich from Southern and she loved that as well; unfortunately we had to pull life support from my brother at SLUH and he passed. He was very very ill and there was no hope left. Your kindness and ease with everything made a difficult time a bit easier. Hopefully the next time we're there, it will be for a happy occasion.

    Had an amazing time here! Great food and great service. The atmosphere was very laid back. You can't call ahead for reservations so there's a long line during peak times with standing only. But, once you order your food comes out quickly and it's well worth the wait! Probably the best ribs I've ever had!
