Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen

Didn’t expected it to be so good. We ordered the ginger salmon entree and wild caught chilean seabass, both were amazing, cooked perfectly. Ohh and their garlic bread is a must try too. Their service was excellent, will definitely be back to try more dishes.

My husband and I celebrated our 9th wedding anniversary at Pappadeaux today, and from the moment we arrived, it felt special. As we checked in, the staff asked what brought us in, and when we mentioned our anniversary, they offered us a complimentary dessert or cocktail as a gift – such a thoughtful gesture that set a celebratory mood right away. Despite a busy lunch rush, we were promptly seated, and our server was incredibly friendly and attentive. Although they were out of oysters and calamari, they offered to prepare a fresh shrimp cocktail for us, which we appreciated. We ordered the wild-caught grouper with jumbo crab and the fried seafood platter – every dish was perfectly seasoned, cooked evenly, and wonderfully fresh. For dessert, we chose the sweet potato pecan pie with ice cream as our anniversary treat. It wasn’t overly sweet, which made it the perfect way to wrap up our meal. Overall, we had an amazing anniversary lunch at Pappadeaux and would highly recommend it for special occasions!

We bought several appetizers and samples from each one. The food was delicious as usual. Fresh, hot, and well seasoned. My favorite was the spinach and crab dip, then shrimp and crawfish fondue. The waitress Pearlz was on point for the most part. She brought out calamari instead of alligator but was able to fix that quickly. The seafood cobb salad took the longest to come out. I'm not sure why. We had to remind Pearlz a few times that it was missing. Overall, it was a great experience and will definitely be returning.

Enjoyed the fried shrimp and fries special dine in Lunch 15.95 and very shareable. The mixed grill with green beans was savory - shareable. But first, a shrimp cocktail served perfectly chilled. And cocktail sauce that you can easily add more horseradish - as desired. That beautiful sourdough bread served warm with whipped butter. So delicious! Thank you for the great service, Kendall.

October 6, 2024. They could accommodate my need in a sugar-free diet. Waiting time was almost 1 hr ((( they apologized an offered complimentary garlic 🍞

This was my first time eating here and it was an awesome experience! The food was so good! Only negative: The cocktail shrimp was not cleaned as well as they should be. But, the restaurant quickly (and I mean quick) rectified the issue. I would definitely go again. Note: The portions are huge! So keep that in mind when you order multiple items. Lol. We had so much to go food.. Lol Also… Go see David! He was the best part of the meal. And he takes great picture too 🙌🏽❤️

Loved the experience! A little too loud for my tastes, but well worth it. I had the crispy salmon with octopus and a Swampthing, my husband had redfish and crab with harissa and a Purple Voodoo. Delicious! The crispy alligator appetizer was also amazing. But most importantly, Alex, our waiter, made the evening. He took it from a good meal to a great experience!

It's a chain. Looks like a chain. Tastes like a chain. I grew up going to NOLA for gumbo and other Cajun eats. They come close, but don't hit the mark. My hubby had to send back his trout because of an overwhelming lemon flavor--much more lemon flavored than fish flavored. The staff was nice and offered a newly cooked dish. It still didn't quite hit the mark. I probably will not go back for seconds. It's not worth the price.

Pappadeaux delivers great food quality consistently! My husband and I had a date lunch at Pappadeaux and he was quite lovely. Edgwina, our server, was amazing. She was extemely pleasant, engaging and attentive to our needs. She checked on us frequently and always with a contagious smile. Out meal started off with the crab and spinach dip...yummy! We had the fried catfish and Sausage & Shimp with dirty rice. The food was quite tasty and served in large portions that we both needed doggy bags. What a pleasant divergence from a work day! Great eating experience..

Ate here on a recent Friday evening with a 7:00PM reservation. Arrived at 6:45PM and was seated immediately. The waiter arrived promptly and asked us what we were drinking, and after a short pause on our part, he quickly recommended the Don Julio Margarita for $50.51...yes it comes with a show a good bit of tequila and a commemorative bottle, ...but really? So we ordered our usual drinks and some water, as well as the Mozzarella Cheese Bites. The Mozzarella bites were perfectly prepared, with a crispy skin and oozing cheese. The accompanying marinara was less than stellar, too tangy and devoid of depth. It kept me from eating more cheese bites. Adding a little heavy whipping cream and some spice would go a long way....This is a large amount of cheese bites, perfect for 4+, a lot for two. My friend ordered the Sampler (fried heaven) and a small Caesar Salad. The fried sampler came out hot, the fish and shrimp were crispy and tender inside, as were the chicken tenderloins, and the fries were good. The plate came with a myriad of sauces; ketchup, honey mustard, cocktail sauce, tartar sauce. The Caesar Salad was a good proportion, and the lettuce was cold, crisp, and with a proportionate amount of dressing. I ordered the Aged Rib Eye and a baked potato. I'll tell you the steak was delicious. Charbroiled, and although slightly overdone (that was actually my fault because I didn't want blood leaking out on my plate and I think they were over cautious) it was still juicy, flavorful, with great marbling. Both the waiter checked back in with me and then a manager came by about the steak. No issue - it was delicious. The baked potato was slightly smaller in size than I expected, but delicious nonetheless, hot inside with the right amount of toppings. Got the Keylime pie to go, was tart and delicious but kind of average. The dining room was not overly busy, but I would say three-quarter full . Our table was clean, the booth was nice. We had a good view of the room and it was not too loud. Often when you go to restaurants nowadays you can't even hear yourself think.; this is not the case at this restaurant. There are a lot of wait staff, support staff, and management walking the floor constantly. I appreciate that. When the table next next-door to us left, it hadn't been 30 seconds and they had cleared it, and there was a young lady there sweeping up beneath the booth and around the booth for any droppings that may have occurred from the previous meal. I can recommend this Pappadeaux's; I think the restaurant is well managed, and the food is solid.

This specific location has gone downhill. Pappadeaux is amazing but not this location. Slow service and way undercooked fish. Ordered a salmon and redfish meal and both were extremely undercooked. The server tries to say o our fish is "sushi grade" and that's how we cook it. lol. Yea right. Have been to several locations including the airports and never had this issue before. Also they forgot the scallops on the salmon meal. They did have a manager stop by to apologize but between that and the extremely slow service I was expecting maybe a little off on the bill but nope. In fact they charged me for 2 rounds of garlic bread lol. I thought they had free bread in years past. I will not be back at this location. It was understaffed, not really clean, and sort of loud for not even being that busy - that had sounds you can hear from their kitchen buzzers or something out into the dining area.

We like to go to Pappadeaux when it's in a city that we visit. There have definitely been some menu changes and higher pricing. We started with the Crab and Spinach dip for our appetizer. It was cheesy and delicious. My fried shrimp entree was great. One of our favorite entrees use to be the Cedar Planked Salmon with the corn and shrimp topping. That's no longer on the menu. The service was good. They had just opened for the evening. It's a nice size restaurant which has a bar area and an outside patio area for dining. They have plenty of parking available. They can get crowded you might want to make a reservation first.

A go to anytime I have family in town! Very classy space that can be a good go to for any occasion. I also think they have a party room that can be reserved for larger groups. The server was very friendly and helpful. Came during the Microsoft shut down, so there was a bit of a wait before being seated as they worked to get the computers back up. You get fresh bread while you wait for food. Great addition with our spinach dip. I went with a lighter meal, some salmon with rice and veggies. Delicious! I appreciate the mix of meal selections if you want something more hearty or more healthy.

Don't sleep on Pappadeaux's like I have. Yes there are several gems when it comes to the Austin area restaurant scene, but this is one that never seems to disappoint. From the menu, to the service, and the portions size everything was better than expected. Went on a Friday and waited 10 minutes for a table of two. After being seated was greeted by our server offered waters. We order the crab and spinach dip as an appetizer, highly recommend with the amount of crabs that was provided for the price. For entrées, we split the Mardi Gras pasta with Alex sauce and the crawfish platter. She was able to divide the entrées into separate dishes, which was appreciated. So much food and of course there was plenty of leftovers. Will definitely go back for happy hour and have an appetite for dessert.

The food: the shrimp and trout were good but the truffle potatoes brought it down. They were undercooked and everything just ended up being pretty heavy and buttery. The highlight was the watermelon lemonade actually. The vibe: the kids loved the decor and the kids menus with crayons. I would say it is a pretty family friendly place which I appreciate. Our server was awesome despite a pretty long wait for our food. He was always checking in and doing whatever he could to keep everyone satisfied.

I'd give it -5 stars if I could. 11:20 am and a 30 minute wait which is understandable. Except 90% of their tables are empty. This is THE worst managed restaurant in the Pappa's family of restaurants by far. It has been so poorly managed for so long that it is clear management does not care. It is capable of so much more. Last visit and review, I promise.

Average food and good service, large shrimp had a bad taste, garlic bread was kinda dipped in butter.

Everything is good about this place. Food, service and ambiance is great. 2nd time eating here and not sure why we haven't tried it before.

Food was great. Be prepared to eat because their portions are great. Some of the fried dishes were a little heavy on the salty side. But overall we enjoyed our dinner and we'd definitely go back for more. Service was great, attentive and frequent checks. Server was knowledgeable. We didn't like or seats, and they quickly relocated us to a better spot. This particular location is pretty huge. Great for large parties.

Came to celebrate my mom's birthday and we had a wonderful experience at this location. Our server Ash was incredible and made sure to check on us often. We had a table of 18 but split up into groups because it was last minute but they were very accommodating. We ordered a variety of dishes which were flavorful, although our Ribeye steak was extremely overcooked. We told Ash and the manager Jasmine came and took care of it which was kind of her because even she agreed that it was super cooked. Overall, I'm glad we celebrated her birthday there because their customer service was immaculate.

Food was quick, great, and hot as alway! Our waiter Gabe was great. We went in between lunch and dinner so the restaurant wasn't too packed so we enjoyed being seated quickly.

This location had an issue earlier in the day, which delayed opening until 6pm. They also did not have red beans and rice available, which was disappointing. Service overall was good. We could have had a larger table, but it was fine once plates were cleared. Our waiter was personable, and gave accurate recommendations, which were appreciated. Our food was delicious. No complaints. I got the crispy salmon and crab, which was perfectly prepared! I also had a caesar salad, which was good, and the table shared the shrimp and crayfish fondeaux, which was delicious!

The peach drink had a cognac in it...it was potent and very delicious. The oysters were immaculate. Perfectly cooked and excellent flavor. The complimentary bread wasnt cut and was a bit harder than my experiences at other locations not in the state. The server was okay. She didnt smile but wasnt rude. She got our orders accurate. I'm hoping it was just an off day. The ambiance was nice. Like many pappadeaux except with the beat set up that I have seen this far. I ordered grouper with crab and shrimp on top with crispy brussel sprouts The chicken cesar salad and fried shrimp and pecan pie were amazing per the graduates. The pasta made gras was great as usual. Of course all portions plentiful. I would return to this location if I'm back in Austin. Oh and the greeters were very friendly and kind especially the slightly older lady with glasses.

Stopped by this North Austin location yesterday afternoon. Anna at the bar was so welcoming, and extremely helpful. I'm not too familiar with the menu, and just wanted some suggestions . She gave me some good recommendations, it was great. Fun atmosphere, pretty lively for a Wednesday afternoon. They have a HH weekdays 3-6, need to check that out next time!

As good as I remember from my college days in Houston! The seafood as fresh, the baguettes as perfect, the menu as extensive. Too popular? Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen has earned its excellent reputation for good food and Texas hospitality.

The service was amazing shoutout to our waitress we need more of her food was amazing for my second time being there will be going back

I had been to another location Dallas Airport and loved the food. We decided to try this location and we were seated right away. The server did not make many recommendations but we did manage to get an appetizer and 2 seafood entrees. Overall the food was good but it took a really long time to get our food. It seemed the like they were mostly getting fried fish orders and it was coming pretty fast, but our food too a long time. We ordered some grilled grouper and Salmon with side of baked potato and carrots. We also ordered Crème brûlée and Keylime pie and they also took a very long time for that. Overall the food was really good but just the wait was longer than expected and so we will go back and let's see what happens next time.

We ordered the "value pack for 6-8" last night. It included 8 fish fillets, 40 Shrimp, and 2 lbs of chicken tenderloins. You can customize your cooking style between grilled, blackened, and fried. We got the fish and chicken blackened and the shrimp grilled. It also came with a large container of dirty rice as well as a 1/2 loaf of French Bread, butter and large containers of sauces for the meats. The subtotal is $140 and it was more than enough for 4 adults and 2 kids. We have enough for more meals. I would recommend this meal again. We lhad the order to go and were provided plates and utensils but they forgot the serving tongs and large spoon I requested.

Catfish was very, very, very undercooked even though my friend still ate it. I hope he didn't get sick. I was highly disappointed and their shrimp, half of them were not cleaned and I had to send them back. The shrimp that they brought back to me were also dirty. I did not send those back as I was over it. Mind you that's a very big pet peeve of mine. The crawfish was good even though it also contained fried oysters, which I hate. When I first arrived, I did look at the yelp reviews and I was wondering why are there reviews so low. And then I received my food and now I know why. I definitely will not be returning to this establishment, even though I have loved Pappadeaux's ever since they opened. Such a disappointment.

We went here to celebrate my friend's birthday. It was a very large party and we have never been to this location before. It has a very beautiful fountain outside and I really love the aesthetic. Overall, the service was really good and my kids really enjoyed the live lobster tank. Even when I told them that people eat those lobsters. The menu is very extensive and I would say that there's nothing bad on this menu. It seems to be very popular and we have only been here a handful of times. The portions are huge and everything tasted very fresh. It is pretty pricey but in this case I think you get what you pay for. They did have a special crawfish queso and it was very good going down but man that was painful the next day. It was very rich and cheesy so you might want to watch out for too much cheese and any of the dishes because seafood and cheese does not always go together. The roasted oysters were very delicious as well swimming in butter so why would they not be. The cocktails were pretty good. Also, we opted to only have one each and call it a day.

Half priced oysters? Don't mind if I do. We went for happy hour, and just sat in the bar area. The hostess said we wouldn't have a server in the bar, but we did. Good service. Delicious oysters.

Service was horrible. R****l forgot the sauce for the gator bites and I had to get up to go find her and remind her - of course the gator was cold by then. My Red Snapper with crab barely had very very little crab as opposed to my wife's same order. Slow service in general. And of course lets not forget the noisy environment. For the price (almost Eddie V's level) it was not at all worth it. Food quality has declined over the years but not as much as service has declined. Drink arrival was very very slow - we felt ignored while she fawned over another table. The only great item was the bread pudding for my grandson's birthday. Likely this was the last time for this place for us.

This location does not hold up to the typical Pappadeaux standard that I am accustomed to. I've been to this location a few times. Tonight I decided to order to go as its prom season and restaurants are extra busy. I placed the order at 8:11 pm and parked to pick it up at about 8:45 pm. I ordered the Mississippi Catfish Opelousas, a kids catfish meal, a kids fried shrimp and tenderloin meal, blackened boudin and a side caesar salad. I parked in the to go spot, texted my spot number and waited. It didn't take long. The server was nice. She brought my food out and went back to get the bread I asked for. I was a little disappointed that it was cold and felt dried out a bit but it was fine. I drove home about 25 minutes away, sat down with my daughters and started to eat. My Opelousas was the last thing I touched. I took a few bites of the catfish and found a very long black straight piece of hair wrapped around the catfish and a few shrimp. I lost my appetite immediately!! One of my daughter's shrimp wasn't properly deveined. Quite gross! I tried calling about ten minutes before they closed but I didn't get through to anyone to resolve my issue. A manager did answer but we couldn't hear one another. He put me back on hold and the phone hung up. It was about closing time so I understood it may of been bad timing. For the money I spent, I should be able to enjoy my food. I will attempt to call back at opening time tomorrow. I'm very disappointed. Times before when I've dined in at this specific location, it's been subpar. This just takes the cake! My hair is in braids currently. My daughters have extremely curly hair so it does not belong to us. Very disgusting!

I've eaten there a couple of times,the food is sub par,it's not real Cajun as it suggests.the portions are big,they have style but lacks substance.the thing that bothers me is they are always hiring for help,which suggests to me,those whom are hired don't stay long for a reason,I interpret as poor work environment also poor leadership.

Any Pappas restaurant is great but Pappadeaux is our favorite. This location is a little easier to get in than the one on I-35, but it too is always busy. We went for lunch and we're seated immediately. Anna was our server and was super friendly. The bread is consistently warm and delicious and the food quality overall is one of Pappas' hallmarks. We used to live in Houston area and tried most all of their concepts. We had the shrimp cocktail appetizer followed my the Seafood Cobb salad with shrimp. My personal favorite is crawfish ettoufette but will save that for the next dinner visit. Food, service, atmosphere was great and the only reason this wasn't a 5 star experience was the $60 bill (including tip) for the two of us. I don't mind paying for a great meal but some folks just can't. Definitely a repeater for sure!

Thanks to my generous boss, we made our annual pilgramage to Pappadeaux's restaurant on 183. This has become an event that we really look forward to every year. Once again, we were seated quickly in the luxurious dining room and enjoyed every minute of our stay. Each plate is skillfully crafted and portions are generous . Why only once per year? We are in our 80s and probably should not eat huge, rich amounts of food. Never mind though. We were disciplined and only consumed half of our toothsome dinners. As I'm writing this review, i'm thinking about having the rest of my dinner today. As always, there are no mis-steps at Pappadeaux and every employee that we saw was completely professional and well trained.

Dropped in to Pappadeaux for their awesome oyster "happy hour" special (1/2 off oysters) and it was 100% worth it solely for the oysters! Not sure how long this promo may be going on (there was a sign advertising it outside of the restaurant...can't find it online anywhere, so may just be this specific location), but it definitely worked on getting me through the door (M-Th, 3-6pm). Our server, Kendall (not sure if I'm spelling his name correctly, sorry), was awesome, and overall we enjoyed our dining experience - I'd give it a 3.5/5 (rounded up for Yelp). The restaurant itself was spacious and had a nice vibe to it. Everything was clean and open and there were plenty of servers and staff members around. We came for an early dinner on a Tuesday for oysters and appetizers and even ended up ordering a dessert to top it all off. Beyond the oysters and the dessert, the rest of the apps we ordered were mediocre at best. But I would revisit solely for oysters and other items on the menu (their Cobb salad with shrimp and jumbo lump crab is one of my favorite of all time!). FOOD RATINGS: - Oysters (5/5): Nicely sized, fresh, didn't taste like grimy dirt, and served perfectly chilled. The cocktail sauce and mignonette, along with the other sauce I'm not entirely sure what it was, were all tasty and the perfect toppers. - Caesar salad (4/5): Straight forward and tasty. Maybe a little heavier on the dressing than I'd like but overall very good. - Crab and spinach dip (3/5): This was very creamy and I wish it was a little more chunky, but it had decent flavor. Sort of reminded me of an alfredo sauce. The parmesan crostini was okay, I preferred it with bread. - Fried calamari (3/5): This was just okay. Came out sort of lukewarm and not very crispy. The artichoke pieces are large so not fried very well. The marinara "sauce" was more like chunky tomatoes - it was flavorful but hard to really dip into. - French fries (1/5): These were just straight up bad. Tasted like day old fries. Every other fry was hollow as if it had been old and reused. We hardly touched these. - Turtle fudge brownie w/ice cream (4/5): A sweet ending! Would have been better a little bit warmer, but overall fudgy and delicious. The turtle part is almost a bit over the top, as the entire thing is incredibly rich, but it really hit the spot!

Sigh! I love Pappadeaux, but I always have issues at this location. Service was fine, but the food was terrible. We started with the spinach and crab dip, it came out lukewarm and watery. The manager said she would have it remade and packed to go and take it off the bill. For entrées we had the pasta Mardi Gras with Alexander sauce. The sauce was 90% oil. It is listed as a white wine cream sauce. There was no cream. Just grease. We informed our server and the manager. The manager said "yeah, that sauce is super oily". Here's the thing, I JUST HAD THE SAME DISH Sunday. It was creamy and very good, but it was also the 35S location. The pasta was remade, it was okay at best. The crab dip still came out, and we were charged for it. Won't be back to this location. Not a fan of excuses and subpar food.

Full disclosure: The adage of under promise and over deliver definitely could be affecting my review here! I wasn't so impressed by Pappadeux's. When told about the place, I expected a more historical pampas room type feel and what I got was more of an exclusive Sizzler feel. The food was pretty mediocre/decent. Not bad. I had the lobster and ribeye and the calamari and it was on par with Olive Garden or red lobster (not that I frequent those joints or would brag about it!;) The overall of service was 3.5-4. Very kind but definitely felt like this is a busy place and you are just another table. Sorry Texas, I'm not a fan of Pappadeux ‍ PS - this should have been a tell - when we arrived to the restaurant we took a picture in front of the sign and an old lady said "what are you taking a pic of that for??!" And walked by mocking the ignorant visitors like they were taking a pic in front of a Denny's or IHOP

Omg pappadeux is awesome!! What a great place to celebrate and have some great seafood the portions are huge! Can't wait till the next time we go! There can be long wait times but they take reservations online which is great

Had poop shoots in all of my and my daughters shrimp meals was so hungry didn't realize it till the third shrimp and my daughter got sick the next day. to accommodate, they just took mine and my daughters meal off the bill. I feel a bit disrespected and sad because I really liked the Papau off I 35. This one is absolutely terrible. Service was horrible waitress took off with my tea for 25 minutes while she went to the bathroom, and then forgot to bring it back then brought back the wrong drink. Needless to say very bad experience.

I heard this is one of the popular seafood restaurants in Austin, so I gave it a try as a seafood lover. There was a 45 min wait when we visited (I believe it was Saturday afternoon) for tables, but we were able to grab seats right away at the bar after 35 mins or waiting. (which I can't tell if this place is worth to wait this long.) We started with cocktails and beer. For food, we got a dozen of fresh oysters as well as seafood platter which came with fried catfish, crab and some shrimps. It was about 36 dollars, but we thought the portion was a bit small. Otherwise, it was delicious. I wouldn't go back since neither my husband or I was impressed with anything particular, but it was not bad!

Let me start by saying: Deciding where to go for date night is not easy. We live in Austin and there are soooo many unique and amazing restaurants to choose from, even though we live a tad north. We were weirdly excited to go to Papadeaux, even knowing it's a chain, because my partner worked there for 7 long years. We sat at the bar to avoid the long wait, and we had Kelly as our bartender. We ordered a glass of wine and a cocktail, and a cesar salad to start. When we placed our meal order, I was told the Snapper was unavailable, so I opted to swap for Redfish, per my servers recommendation. Our food was great, with the exception that swapping to Redfish changed my entire meal, not just the protein. Kelly failed to inform me that switching my order to Redfish would change the included side, which resulted in me needing to order my intended side separately. Annoying. Later in our meal, we heard the couple next to us get their meal, and one got snapper, after we had been told it was unavailable. At the end of the meal, we got our check. This is where we got angry. I was charged incorrectly for the wine that I ordered, and ended up paying 2x as much per glass. My partner informed me they can't refund alcohol, so we didn't dispute the charge with the staff. But be mindful that you specify exactly which wine you want by brand. Or else they'll probably charge you for the more expensive one. (I asked for a glass of the Sav. Blanc ($10) and ended up being charged for Pinot that was $19/ glass, yes, I should have noticed the difference in taste, but didn't, and sadly feel that was taken advantage of) All in all. $141 for an incredibly mediocre meal. Next time i'll remember that I live in Austin and can go to different restaurant, for a more intentional and worth while dining experience. Lesson truly learned.

I was very disappointed with my experience at this restaurant. Although the wait for a table was understandable, the issue arose when I visited the bar for a quick drink. Not familiar with their Chardonnay selection, I asked the bartender for a buttery recommendation, and he suggested "Flowers." I agreed and received my glass shortly. However, when we cashed out, I was shocked to be charged $25 for a glass of wine, having been given a large pour without my request or consent. A standard glass should have cost $10. I felt taken advantage of and disappointed with the lack of transparency.

The prices at this place have gotten exponentially higher while delivering significantly less food. The portions are not indicative of what you pay, and that's ridiculous! If my bill is 50+ dollars and all that was purchased was an app (spinach and crab dip) and an entrée (medium shrimp and Cajun chicken tenderloins) I fully expect a meal and bit a snack. I hadn't been in a while, but I distinctly remember the portions being sufficient and the tenderloins being more melt in your mouth soft and seasoned well... these were tough and bland...smh The medium shrimp and tenderloins cans with FIVE shrimp and THREE chicken tenderloins for $22.95... It's not worth it, in my opinion. You're seemingly paying for the name at this point. It's definitely gone down... it's definitely overpriced for the portions you get... which is ridiculous...

Wow, I really wish I had enough time to sit inside the restaurant and dine. However, I flew into the airport and have been dying to try this place. I had to be at my location by a certain time and decided TOGO was the best option. I ordered my food and even though I was 20 minutes late picking it up, the food was amazing. I ordered the crawfish etouffee and fried crawfish. The portion sizes are huge and I've been eating this meal for two days. Even on day two after heating my food in the microwave, it still was delicious!!! Can't wait to go and try it again.

We've been here twice recently and it was great both times. Service was on point and the food was as good as Pappadeaux's used to be! Either we've gotten lucky twice or this place deserves more than the 3- 1/2 stars shown!

Any seafood lover? This place is popping, great service. the ambiance is welcoming is nice and quiet. They need to open one in the Killeen metro area.

Beautiful environment. Reminds me of many great visits in the past. R had Stash beer and I had Signature Margarita. Only oysters they had were Gulf Coast, which I do not care for. R had a shrimp dish that was very good. I had a cup of seafood gumbo with sausage that was tasty and not exceptional. Additionally I had a catfish plate with rice and beans. Bland. The blackened catfish was almost tasteless. The batter on fried catfish had no flavor. The service was excellent. I had wanted to eat there for months since my wife's office is nearby. Never again.

We had a perfect dinner for my 62nd birthday. The SEAFOOD TAGLIATELLE PASTA was absolutely amazing. Great pieces of octopus and generous lump crab. Definitely worth the price.

They have the best Cajun food in the city. Their dirty rice is the bomb and they also make great cocktails. Highly recommend!

Visited here on a busy Saturday night. Every Pappadeaux location that I've patronized has successfully implemented the formula that keeps them full of happy diners. They get you seated promptly, the servers get your drinks and orders into the kitchen, and the food comes out hot and fresh and delicious. Not much that I can add to the other reviews here other than to say, this location does a great job. Recommended.

Our dinner at Pappadeaux's was fantastic, aside a few setbacks that ultimately kinda harped on the experience you could have, if they stepped up their game. We called in an hour ahead of time out to reserve a table, which was supposedly ready at 40 minutes into the hour. Upon arrival we were a little disappointed when the hostess told us they didn't have a reservation for us, and that we would be placed in line behind multiple groups that were already waiting. Once we got seated it just really seemed the staff was not attentive what so ever, we had to catch the waiter's attention while he walked by practically anytime we needed anything. The crab and spinach dip, and boudin came out... Both very delicious. The boudin had some spices on It that really made it pop. The Mardi Gras Pasta is definitely worth getting, The presentation was very beautiful. Although I was left thinking about how the shrimp tails were left on just for presentation. How many people want to dissect a shrimp before eating their pasta. That's coming from a person who's peeled over thousands of shrimp working in a kitchen (personally I don't care for it). Our medium rare steak came out blue rare... Not rare, BLUE RARE. For 50 dollars a steak you would think they could get the temperature of the steak correct. After receiving it the second time after sending it back, the steak was actually very delicious. Extremely tender, melt in your mouth goodness. All in all, the food was very good, and very filling. Although in reality, I'm not going to be going back. especially when I spent $230, and received such a sub par experience from this location (I Expected much more).

My every year birthday dinner (Jan 26th) Pappadeaux Platter and a Swampthing to wash it down it's a little more expensive but hey everything else is too. Everything was pretty good and and cooked perfectly except it was a tad bit salty, nonetheless this will always be my birthday dinner

Brittany was a very nice server and provided 10/10 service! I was able to get my food in a reasonable amount of time and it had every detail as advertised.

I've been coming to this location for over 5 years! I'm surprised I have never done a review. Came here tonight for a friends birthday. It was a large party and we were 15 minutes early so we went to the bar. I was starving so I ordered the mozzarella bites! They were perfect!! Sergio and Alejandro were great. By the time the rest of our party arrived we weren't too hungry. My hubby and I split the fried catfish and fried shrimp platter. We told the server that we were sharing and he brought the plates out already split. Jackson was an awesome and thoughtful server. I highly recommend you check this place out.

This review even too much for this place. I worked at pappadeaux couple month and that was worst experience for me. They don't respect staff at all they don't have any benefit for staff you're working like a dog and besides this one I was working there during Ramadan and I was fasting and they were all knew that and after all day being hungry and thirsty when it comes to break my fasting they didin't let me to break my fast couple time happened like that and I talked even general manager Kevin he said you know what this is America !! I even thought I should sue them to not being respectful for my religion I hate that place worst and non quality people running that place. Some people just thinking food and money in America but for me its important to what kind people I'm working with nice honest. who's running that place they have a of strong to have ability to control you and being unfair being a bossy and un valuable people all there running business it's so sad... I'm so glad quit there as soon as I understand what type people.
