Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen

Party of 9. 5 adults and 4 kids: 5-6-6-7. The only AAs as far as the eye could see. Kids’ meals came out after nearly 50 minutes. Daughter’s meal was lukewarm. Horrible waiter customer service: slow and inattentive. Perhaps it’s the self-fulfilled prophesy; if you think you’re going to get a poor tip, then you render poor service, then render poor service and receive a poor tip. Tip #1 when the kids’ meals are put in first, get their meals out ASAP. They are children. One grandson fell asleep and never got to enjoy his meal. The food is great, but darn. the service was despicable! Two of the adults were from out of state and were really looking forward to a great experience. Terribly disappointed.

Our server Ayva was the best, patient, welcoming, and she recommended the crab cakes, which ended up being the most delicious and unforgettable part of the night. After that, we ordered the grilled octopus and the Mississippi Catfish Opelousas.

The octopus was extremely chewy and salty. The Mississippi Catfish Opelousas was also very salty. Even though the flavor was good and the portion size was huge, we couldn’t finish even half of it together.

It was my first time trying Pappadeaux, and overall it wasn’t a pleasant experience. If I ever go back, I would only order the crab cakes.

I treated myself to a little birthday shenanigans at Pappadeaux, and listen… they did not disappoint. I started with the Crab & Spinach Dip and the parmesan crostini… rich, creamy, flavorful. I caught myself humming while I ate.

For my entrée, I had the Wild-Caught Red Snapper topped with jumbo lump crab in a lemon butter with toasted almonds and sautéed spinach. The spinach alone? Baby… it was so good I was two seconds from asking if they sell it by the quart. The fish was tender and the crab was delicious. I will say, for the price, I would’ve loved a little more of that crab without needing to ask. But flavor-wise? Hit. The. Mark.

I made a new friend at the bar (because God sends community even at dinner), and she ordered the Oven-Baked Crab Cake. When I tell you it was perfectly cooked… golden edges, soft inside, lemon caper butter singing… whew.

The staff was friendly, the place was clean, and my Old Fashioned? Balanced, smooth, made with intention. I’ll be back.

Lovely experience as always, we went on a Wednesday afternoon, so it was relatively quiet. Our sever (cant remember his name but he was fantasic and had amazing dreads) took phenomenal care of us, made sure we had a great experience and our food was very fresh, hot and absolutely delicious.
Definitely recommended to add some bacon wrapped shrimp to your shrimp fondue!

Outstandingly excellent place! Very prompt, very polite, caring, friendly great service - i.e. Taryn and mgr Karissa, Kellen, Addie, Carol-Anne, very polite, friendly, very patiently and accurately taking the orders, overall going the extra mile to accomodate requests and followups.
Excellent food quality and menu, the food being ready even ahead of estimated time. Not too crowded each time I visited at busy times. Large parking. Pappadeaux is always the best, but this place exceeds them.
I strongly recommend this place as well.

I recommend everything. I’m at the one at I-35 and 290 in Austin Texas. I used to come all the time back in 2008 when I lived here. To my surprise on a work trip it was next door to the hotel. I’ve since developed Gluten allergies and my undying craving for crawfish was being disappointed until the very sweet bartender said we can work with this. Let’s find some options and I’ll get the manager and figure it out. The result was awesome!! Sautéed in butter and seasoning with a baked potato. Fantastic! Help from the bartender the manager and kitchen saved the day!!!! Craving well satisfied. I can’t recommend enough. Great food. Amazing staff, beautiful ambience.. excellent experience. Thank you!!!
