History of Pappy’s Cafe in a Nutshell

Pappy’s Cafe has stood the test of time as a well-known, well-loved Houston icon since 1983. Its’ history is shared by countless Texas travelers from all over the world and Houstonians who have been enjoying Pappy’s unique brand for decades; many who have grown a real affection for the little cafe…kinda like the love you feel for an old friend.

The spirit of Pappy’s Cafe endures! You’ll find it in the friendly people that greet you, and in the long-time regulars who come visit because Pappys is their “Happy Place”. You’ll find it in their smiles, laughter and shared stories. You’ll find it in the vintage western decor that hangs well-worn on the walls at Pappys. But most of all, you’ll find it in the great Comfort Food and genuine Texas hospitality that we’ve earned a reputation for.

We hope you will experience Pappys for what it is…a true Houston treasure; that special place that has stood the test of time…where you will always get an authentic Texas meal and feel welcomed. As we celebrate a big milestone -our 35th Year in business -we are happily settled into our beautiful new location in the Energy Corridor. We look forward to making your next visit a pleasurable one!

Happy Trails!
