Papa's Chicken and Ribs

“From the Battlefield to the Barbecue we Serve with Pride”

Papa’s Chicken and Ribs is a veteran-owned, family-run food truck and catering/carryout company in Martinsburg, WV. We’re known for smoky, fall-off-the-bone ribs, juicy smoked chicken, and numerous made-from-scratch sides. What started in our backyard has grown into a community staple—where every meal is made with pride, discipline, and heart. More than just serving food, we create jobs, support local events, and give back to the community that made us who we are. At Papa’s, it’s never just about the plate—it’s about feeding people, building connections, and sharing a passion for good food.

How will the prize money be used?

Papa’s Chicken and Ribs will use the grand prize money to bring National Senior Citizens Day to life each year, honoring the law signed by former President Ronald Reagan. Seniors will enjoy a five-course healthy meal, beverages, buy-one-get-one-free meals, and every senior will receive a goodie bag, all while listening to soft music and connecting with others. Capture the moments with photos and create a scrapbook to honor every attendee, year after year. This celebration ensures seniors feel valued, appreciated, and celebrated, while Papa’s continues its mission of giving back and building community.
