About us
Welcome to Papa’s Diner — where bold flavor meets Southern comfort and breakfast is served all day.
What began as a passion project for Owner and Head Pit Master Jeff Fitter has grown into a beloved local favorite. Jeff’s journey started on the competitive BBQ circuit, where his dedication and award-winning techniques earned him a loyal following throughout the St. Louis region.
In 2017, Jeff acquired the legendary Super Smokers BBQ and continued to grow its footprint with catering and a BBQ food truck. In 2023, the restaurant made a major move from its original barn to a larger, more accessible location in the old Steak 'n Shake building off the outer road in Eureka — just a stone’s throw from Six Flags.
With the new location came more than just a bigger space. Jeff expanded the menu to include fries, Cajun-inspired dishes, and new Southern classics — blending the smoky BBQ roots with rich Louisiana-style flavor.
In 2025, Super Smokers BBQ officially rebranded to Papa’s Diner featuring Super Smokers BBQ + Cajun, a name that reflects our warm, family-focused dining experience and broader menu, including breakfast served all day, house made smash burgers, and the classic award-winning BBQ from Super Smokers BBQ + Cajun. While the name may be new, the heart and heat behind the smoker remain the same.
Whether you're here for the brisket, the gumbo, or just some good ol’ fries with friends, Papa’s Diner brings you the same passion, same people, and now—more flavor than ever.
Come hungry. Leave happy. Welcome to Papa’s.
