I’m trying to remember the name of a restaurant, in Dallas.
Posted by Fast-Outcome-117@reddit | Dallas | View on Reddit | 102 comments
This restaurant has a burger location, a pizza location, and (I think) a bbq location. All three locations started with somebody’s name, the same name. Any idea what restaurants I’m taking about?

Kenny’s!
StrangePriority4340@reddit
Pappa’s restaurants?
Goombamaxy@reddit
Kenny’s most likely and was at one on Plano and they do ribs on Tuesdays
rurounick@reddit
Keller's?
van_b_boy@reddit
Pappas

Comments six hours later and is an asshole
Call_Me_Desdenova@reddit
I’m always curious what goes through someone’s mind when they comment the same thing that’s already been commented repeatedly
van_b_boy@reddit
I guess what went through my mind is I didn’t read every single other comment before I said something.
Call_Me_Desdenova@reddit
Literally the second comment says Pappas
van_b_boy@reddit
Don’t you have something better to do than police comments on Reddit?
Call_Me_Desdenova@reddit
It comes from a place of curiosity, not animosity
van_b_boy@reddit
Bro there is nothing to be curious about. I didn’t read any comments, just the first thing that came to mind. And I don’t even think it’s the right answer.
Call_Me_Desdenova@reddit
What an intelligent and meaningful way to engage with someone asking something on Reddit
van_b_boy@reddit
And what you are doing has meaning?
Call_Me_Desdenova@reddit
Again, I’m curious as to the thought process. Reminds me of a 7 year old yelling out the answer so everyone knows they know things
TexasBaconMan@reddit
Pappas?
Call_Me_Desdenova@reddit
TexasBaconMan@reddit
Sorry, what?
Call_Me_Desdenova@reddit
That’s what you did, and I don’t understand why
TexasBaconMan@reddit
What?
noncongruent@reddit
The only restaurant group I can think of that has different types of restaurants under a similar name is the Pappas group.

I was going to say the same but it's likely Kenny's concepts. I dont think Pappa's has had a pizza joint here in decades (now it's The Back 9) and I don't remember a Burger place here in Dallas area.
PomeloPepper@reddit
Pappadeaux...Cajun
Pappasitos...tex mex
Pappas steakhouse
That's all I've got
Katy_moxie@reddit
Pappa's Bar-B-Q (their spelling).
nerdyguytx@reddit
They have Pappa’s Burgers in Houston. IDK if there are any in DFW.
thedeadlysun@reddit
We used to have a pappas burger in Fort Worth but it closed down
SouthEndXGF@reddit
there isn't a pappas burger here, but Pappas BBQ at NW HWY/35 has a fantastic burger.
Historical_Dentonian@reddit
I worked at a Pappdeaux in college.
hammerdogg@reddit
Pappas Johns
Sguidroz@reddit
I was wondering what their pizza concept was called. Thank you!
SharkSheppard@reddit
That's just what they call the restrooms at their locations.
Scrantonicity_02@reddit
Like a good neighbor, pappa is there
hondo9999@reddit
Used to be a pizza restaurant by the Pappas folks in Addison that was really good too.
beardlesswonder@reddit
I remember Pappas Pizza from maybe 15-20 (damn) years ago? It was at Belt Line and Midway. They had a frozen cherry coke cocktail my friend always had to get.
fakeit-makeit@reddit
They’ve got a BBQ place too. In Dallas, it practically shares the parking lot with the steak house.
noncongruent@reddit
Yep, Pappas BBQ, northwest highway on the NW corner of Lombardy/Technology. Pappasitos Cantina, Pappas Bros Steakhouse, and Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen are both on Lombardy just north of Pappas BBQ.
SiriusSlytherinSnake@reddit
Not my dumb ass completely ignoring the cajun place my uncle loved and thinking about the games papa's pizzeria ...
CTHABH@reddit
Til papadeauxs and papasitos are related
turtletitan8196@reddit
This has gotta be it. It makes sense that they would get the part about the same name right but forget exactly what types of restaurants they were.
flipp214@reddit
I was also going to say Papas
Beautiful_Welcome_33@reddit
Pappas
doodybot@reddit
Wow, that is one of the strangest Wikipedia sites I’ve seen. The only section is “Awards.”
noncongruent@reddit
I just chose it because it had all the different restaurants listed from a google search.

Kenny’s. The smokehouse is now closed. But they do also have a steakhouse (Kenny’s wood fired grill).
johnnyma45@reddit
We love the wood fired grill. The chilled Grey Goose on tap hits different, and the chef's seating at the kitchen is a lot of fun.
killer_trees@reddit
The double cut pork chop at the wood fired grill is pretty damn good.
FunNunya@reddit
Kenny's Pizza is in Plano off Park and Preston area

It's Kenny's 19th anniversary and they're giving away gift certificates.

Craft 64 if it was out towards canton on I-20. Just throwing that random one out there. Not that canton is Dallas.
winterx@reddit
Kenny’s? The BBQ location is no longer around though.
TCIHL@reddit
Kenny’s smokehouse closed? How?
dm_me_cute_puppers@reddit
I dunno, I went there once and their beef ribs were Phenomenal
Intrepid-Lettuce-694@reddit
Check your dms for puppy pics ;)
RC-5@reddit
They still do the ribs at the burger place on Tuesdays.
BigSmoothplaya@reddit
Know if this is at both the Frisco and Plano locations?
FlamingAssCactus@reddit
Definitely Frisco. They did ribs all weekend for Labor Day, too
flightlessbird7@reddit
Closed during the pandemic.
Sporkler@reddit
I loooove Kenny’s. Especially Kenny’s Wood Fored Grill. But their BBQ place was ass, especially compared to other BBQ restaurants in the community.
mik534@reddit
Who killed Kenny's?
Csharp27@reddit
Those bastards!

lupin_bebop@reddit
I’m pretty sure you’re thinking of Kenny’s. - Kenny’s Burger Joint (Legacy/121, Plano) - Kenny’s Smokehouse (Closed. Used to be 121/DNT) - Kenny’s Italian (SW corner DNT/Belt Line, Addison) - Kenny’s East Coast Pizza (Park/Preston, Plano) - Kenny’s Wood Fired Grill (SE corner DNT/Belt Line, Addison)
fvalt05@reddit
How's the East Coast Pizza?
Hurricane_Ivan@reddit
Good but worth going out of your way for.
The ribs at the Woodfire Grill are delicious though. I recall the burger place being better than the pizza place.
Ravioverlord@reddit
I do pasta, not pizza. But love Kenny's East coast. The best thing my dad and I always fight over is the Philly cheese steak crostini. We often share a chicken and pasta dish like the picatta. But I like their fettuccine Alfredo too.
Parents liked the pizza when they tried, but say spin is still better. I would go just for the crostini and a peanut butter pie if I wasn't hungry.
lupin_bebop@reddit
The pasta matched the Italian location, which I appreciated. It was good. I haven’t had one of the pizzas yet (because I only had a 30-minute lunch there). I plan to next time I go through Plano (which will be in about 60 hours from right now.
fvalt05@reddit
I need to check it out too
prguitarman@reddit
Sounds like Kenny’s
averagesandwichmaker@reddit
Omgg I went to Kenny’s italian spot last night and they had several locations like that. It was their 19th anniversary so they were handing out gift cards to all four locations!! They might still be doing it or it might have just been last night.

Are you thinking about Joe's off I-30 east of downtown? One establishment was in a former sonic

Call_Me_Desdenova@reddit
I like how you say it with such confidence even though it’s already been commented and discussed, and is probably wrong
Sanchastayswoke@reddit
I like how you don’t consider that many people could have been commenting at exactly the same time, and most people don’t read through all of the comments before answering.
Call_Me_Desdenova@reddit
It literally says how long ago the comments were posted
Sanchastayswoke@reddit
I know. And all of the ones I see that say Pappas say “1 hour”
Call_Me_Desdenova@reddit
The Pappas comment with the Wikipedia link says 3 hours ago
Sanchastayswoke@reddit
It’s Kenny’s or Pappas
A_giant_dog@reddit
Papas.
fvalt05@reddit
Is it Kenny's?
