Founded in Niceville, Florida, PAPA’s Smokehouse uses the highest quality wood-burning smokers to infuse amazing wood-smoked flavor


Welcome to PAPA's Smokehouse, the go-to spot in Niceville for authentic Texas-style barbecue! Here, we're not just about serving up great food; we're a father and son team, putting our heart and soul into each dish.

As a family-owned establishment, we've embraced the Texas barbecue tradition, and our commitment to quality is evident in the use of our legendary Oyler Wood-Burning smokers. These smokers have become the backbone of our barbecue excellence. What makes them stand out? The precision and control they provide are unparalleled, allowing us to slow smoke our meats with real hardwood for hours.

The magic happens as the Oyler smokers infuse our dishes with rich, savory, and tender flavors that define authentic Texas barbecue. It's not just about efficiency and durability – although these smokers are built to last for decades – it's about the art of slow smoking that creates a barbecue experience like no other.
