Pappy's Place

5 stars for nostalgia alone.

America is running out of places like Pappy's. Its old, a little grimy, and amazing. It's the perfect towny bbq place without the attitude. If you are not a local or a regular, who cares?! The lady that runs the place is awesome. Tell her where you are from. Tell her a story. She genuinely likes the people that come into her restaurant.

The food actually is very good. Every time i go i get the daily special: Pulled pork with golden sauce and fries. It has never let me down once.

Eating at pappy's feels like going back in time. It's on an old street corner in a neighborhood from back in the day when Springfield had businesses on street corners in neighborhoods. Order a beer and strike up a conversation with the lady behind the bar. You will be glad you did.

This is a little hole in the wall with 4 tables and a bar.  The service isn't the greatest, but the food is delicious.  GIGANTIC BBQ sandwiches with fries for $7.  I would go there all the time if I lived there, and die prematurely from some sort of pork related heart illness.

The most authentic bbq place i have been to. When i travel for business, i try to go to THE place - and if you are looking for authentic, this is it. I ordered the daily special pork sandwich with golden sauce. The sandwich was excellent, though the meat was a little dry; the tasty golden sauce was a great remedy. I also had a hotlink on the side, and it was tasty, though a little bit spicy. The beer was cold, the food was good, and the atmosphere was great. Two of us had a great dinner, 2 beers each, and got out for $32, all at the oldest continually operating "beer by the drink" establishment in Missouri.
