Wow!! I’m amazed by this place! I picked up lunch for my coworker I and we were both extremely impressed stuffed! I got the Mutt bbq bun with Mac cheese, I also added a side of potato salad. The sandwich was so delicious I could eat the Mac and cheese everyday and still not get tired of it. This is hands down the best bbq I’ve eaten in a very long time. I can’t wait to come back and bring my partner.

Hands down the best bbq I’ve ever had. Pulled pork was nicely smoked. Sausage had great flavor. Their bbq sauces were perfection. Baked beans and cole slaw were like none I’d ever had. Very friendly! Great place to eat!

My sister and I looked up BBQ options in East New Orleans and Slidell, and we were lucky to find Papas. It's a casual spot that's somewhat tucked away, but the locals certainly know it well. The grill and side dishes were exceptional, and while the portions of meat might not be the most aesthetically pleasing, the flavors made up for it. The staff was friendly and very accommodating. This place is a real gem, and if I’m ever in the area again, I’ll definitely return! Thank you for a fantastic experience!

An Allerbes paradise! You can't go wrong, no matter what you choose. Brisket is only on Saturday, so we didn't try it, but it must be good. Great service. A must.

The food is excellent, and while the staff may not be the friendliest or the quickest servers, the quality of the food makes up for it. I've sampled nearly everything on the menu, and I love it all.
