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]
