I had never heard of this place before a friend booked it for a meal.Food was amazing, didn't have to wait too long between ordering and eating, service was amazing. Will definitely be back.

Visited at the weekend and was very impressed. Small venue but that adds to the charm of the place as its a very intimate atmosphere. Food was amazing - we had to take half of it home as the portion sizes are immense (American sizes!). Would absolutely recommend the burgers. Enjoyed the cocktail of the month (some kind of watermelon thing) and a couple of beers. Staff were very friendly and attentive and down to earth and pricing is very reasonable considering the service and portion size. To top it off they were playing all my favourite country music - definitely a place to visit if you're a big country fan like myself. They ask for card details when booking and pre-warn you of a £30 charge if you fail to show up for your reservation, however i can totally understand why given the size of the venue and how popular it is. Will definitely visit again if we're ever back in Kendal :-)

My friends and I are studying abroad in the UK this semester but we’re from Texas! So when we saw that there was a Texas bbq we had to try it out! At first they couldn’t fit us in but then made room for us which was awesome!! We really didn’t think it would compare to bbq back home but we were SO wrong. The atmosphere was so welcoming and the staff was incredibly nice! It truly felt like home with the country music and the smell of good bbq. Pappy’s TX bbq had some of the best ribs I’ve ever had. Definitely go here!

Tried Pappys today for the first time with a group of friends. Had the sharing platter and sampled some tequilas, all the food was excellent, service great and very friendly staff. Hands down beats the usual texas bbq themed chain restaurants you usually find. A great addition to Kendal.

Not a great experience.After reading all the great reviews we couldn't wait to try here after finally getting a weekend to ourselves to travel up to Kendal from Liverpool.We booked for Saturday night and were one of the first seatings.They informed us the restaurant wasn't open but all bookings were to take place in the taco place which was fine and the lovely server showed us there.Once seated we got some drinks, nearly £5 for a 330ml bottle of coke was a lot but we thought we were treating ourselves.We were then informed they had no brisket and therefore couldn't do anything with brisket.We chose nachos to start which we thought were £4 but ended up £10 with two watering tomato salsas but a nice salsa Verde. When ordering the waitress told us she needed to check we had any as they used the last of them the night before. She then informed us they had prepped more. Not worth £10 for a plate of nachos unfortunately. I got the buffalo wings which she then had to check if they still had any. I was informed I would receive the last portion which I was happy about. The buffalo sauce was quite watery and barely covered the wings but the flavour wasn't bad, just subtle.Partner for the ribs to start which were lovely.I then chose the pulled pork burger and partner had the Dino rib. The Dino rib had a very intense flavour that ended up knocking me sick it was that overpowering but it was nice and moist just overseasoned to death. My pulled pork burger was inedible it was that dry it was similar to eating cardboard in a bun. It was also quite bland unfortunately. I was quite upset by this point as I couldn't eat my burger and the Dino rib wasnt too my personal liking which is I understand may have just been my opinion but it was unlike any rib I've had before. I imagine the brisket if it were there would have the same seasoning on.I informed the waitress the burger was too dry to eat and she asked if I wanted another, I said it was ok but thank you.I unfortunately didn't eat my main except for a handful of chips.They took the service charge off as an apology but that was it. At least it was something.Overall £89 for a meal I didn't really enjoy apart from the wings and some nachos.Overall there were too many things unavailable that if it were my business I simply would have closed and apologised. Instead of having a full night we decided to head home after this as our hearts just weren't in the night anymore after this...Unfortunately won't be back but hope other enjoy it x

Where do I start with Pappy’s Texas BBQ? I’ve had many takeaways from them, had most of the items on the menu and every single time it’s been fantastic. Last night I went there to dine in for my first time and unsurprisingly it was fantastic. They produce authentic Texas BBQ food, cooked low n slow and smoked to perfection. The flavours are out of this world. The lovely people who work there add to the experience. Really friendly and welcoming and with a family feel to it. There is a third way to enjoy their delightful food, Pappy’s At Home, order from the website and they ship it to you. So whether you’re in Carstairs, Kendal, Cardiff or Cowes you can enjoy real Texas BBQ. I stocked up for Christmas and it was the best of my Christmas food by far. I’ve attached photos from last night.

So… the main dishes wasn’t so good, the briskets was delicious and the small dino also good, but the large and XL dino was over smoked and the meat was hard to eat, we hub they fix that.
Spot on! Literally best place to get food in kendal recommend going as 2 or more the tacos you will have to share as there really filling but there amazing and such friendly staff

Visited twice now and both times we were very disappointed. Tried various dishes. Meat was dry, tasteless and fatty. Macaroni cheese is watery and tasteless. Chips are limp. Portions are big but not quality. Prices are high.

Another fantastic meal at Pappy’s. The food here is definitely one of the best around. Cocktails are yummy and the place has a great atmosphere. Special mention to Kirsty she is brilliant at her job and looked after us so well ☺️ thank you!

Amazing food. Had the sharing platter with a mate and was plenty. Everything was cooked perfectly.They showed us the bbq area after and chatted to the pitmaster. Great experience will probably make more reasons to visit the area just to go there again.
