Pappas Bros. Steakhouse

At Pappas Bros. Steakhouse, we put immeasurable care into everything we do, all to provide our Guests a dining experience like no other. The principles we operate on have long been instilled in this family-run business. They’re what H.D. Pappas brought with him to the New World in 1897: a passion for quality food and service, careful attention to detail, and a determination to treat every person that walks through the door as a welcome Guest.

The warm, inviting atmosphere and family-focused attitude found in every Pappas restaurant started well before the Pappas brothers opened their first restaurant in 1976. It all began with their legendary grandfather, H.D. Pappas. He left Greece in 1897 and traveled to America to pursue his dreams. He brought with him a passion for quality and service that became the benchmark of his success as he opened restaurants throughout Tennessee, Arkansas and Texas. It was this same dedication to quality and service that H.D. passed down to his sons and grandsons. His sons, Pete and Jim, chose a different path than their father and entered the restaurant equipment and supply business. They opened Pappas Refrigeration in 1945. It wasn’t until 1976 that Jim's sons, Chris and Harris, followed in their grandfather's footsteps by opening their first restaurant, bringing the family’s American dream full circle.

Harris and Chris still lead the chain of Pappas restaurants with more than 80 locations in seven states, throughout Texas, and with locations in New Mexico, Ohio, Georgia, Illinois, Arizona and Colorado. Based in Houston, the still privately-owned and operated business is a highly respected leader in the industry nationwide. You can see the emphasis on family when you dine at Pappas Bros. Steakhouse. Photos of weddings, picnics and other events throughout the generations of Pappas family line the walls. Think of yourself as a Guest of the family.
