Big. Long. Sigh…read more This review PAINS me because I had such high expectations and wasn't prepared for what I received. Although all hopes aren't lost for this location, it's going to take a little while before I give them another chance. I follow a quite large figure in the food reviewing community and he visited the Pappas Seafood Center. This location has been here for about a year. I didn't rush to go, but as soon as I saw this person's very highly rated review with delicious photos to match, I knew what I was going to eat for dinner. I had a taste for seafood and when I saw the seafood eggrolls on the reviewer's page, they looked so fresh and crispy. Not overtly so. But they looked good. So, that's what I decided to get, along with a side of hush puppies. To note: this is not a sit down restaurant. It's a carry-out and I believe a distribution center. It's a rather large building, so I'm assuming that they make and ship crab cakes and other items, while also accommodating walk-in customers. I called my order in. The person said it would be 20 minutes. I arrived a bit early, so I waited in my car for a bit. There's no where to sit inside, so if you walked to this place, you'd just have to stand somewhere. Anyhoo, after twenty minutes, I walked in. The place looked clean and well lit. They have an attractive glass case that displayed cold items like salads and doubled eggs. The young lady at the counter told me it would be a few more minutes before my order was done. She was nice, so no complaints with customer service. My order soon came out and I headed home. As I drove home, I was super excited because the food honestly smelled good through the stapled paper bag! Keep in mind that I live 5 minutes from this place. When I sat down to eat, I took the contents out the bag. The first thing I took out was the hush puppies. They were in a cup, no big deal, BUT THEY WEREN'T HOT! Like, at all. Even further, some were quite raw on the inside. The batter was honestly good! I ended up eating just the crispy outer layers. I was intensely disappointed in those. Then...the egg rolls. When I opened the container, I saw two halved VERY browned eggrolls. They almost seemed as if they were pan fried as opposed to deep fried (some sides were burnt while other sides were normal). They came with two sauces, one was a mustard sauce, the other a sweet vinegary sauce. Neither was super amazing, but the mustard one was the better of the two. The stuffing inside consisted of a crab mixture and shrimp. It unfortunately did not taste fresh. More like something that was made a few days beforehand. Maybe it was because it was overcooked? The green onion was overpowering and the whole thing tasted like a sweet, burnt eggroll. I really tried to finish it. I ended up eating the filling, and discarded the roll wrapper, along with the raw batter from the hush puppies (pictures included). I spent about $21 dollars for this meal. I waited a few days before writing this review to make sure it wasn't based off of raw emotion alone, but a fair assessment of quality and value, which this meal lacked both. Pappas really does have great crab cakes and sides (look for my the Taylor Avenue review). Maybe it was an off day, but one off day can put off a customer for a good long while.

Hardly any street parking but thankfully it's close to me. They take too long to fry food. The food…read moreand half&half were blah. The prices are reasonable. The potato salad was sweet and the fish was nice and crunchy. I normally don't order collard greens when I go to soul foods spots and this place reminded me why. The collards were nasty but they do serve dinner rolls with the platters. I might try this place again for the sandwich or chicken.

I have never been to this place but I am glad my bestie asked about going. It is a in and out spot,…read moreso you are just there to order, receive and leave. The customer service was great! Any questions asked were answered in detail. Very helpful and friendly. I got a DGC cheesesteak and it was packed with flavor. This is a foot long sub with onions, mushrooms, peppers, banana peppers, lettuce, tomatoes, mayo, and 3 cheeses (There could be another topping but I think this was it). It was so good!!!! I got fries, mozzarella sticks, Mac n cheese, and a chicken cheesesteak roll. Everything was pretty good. Oh and the half and half was so refreshing! I will definitely be back to try pretty much everything on the menu one item at a time. Nice chill spot. You have to call in the order and pick up or get delivery from the store if you are in the delivery radius. It will be worth it!

Let me say, my visit was on one of the busiest times of year (Valentines Day). And even though I…read morehad some hiccups in my experience there , because the food quality was sooooo good! I will patron this establishment again. I feel the management was not prepared for the magnitude of business in which they received on this day. There wasn't a lot of staff to handle the heavy workload of customers. When I walked in I was told 30 mins wait time in which I was seated right around that time frame. However there were a lot of angry customers because of the disorganization of the establishment. My waiter "Princess" was amazing! She was over worked but maintained her composure and attentiveness. The atmosphere was starting to read a little ghetto and very disorganized. There was only 2-3 waiters on such a busy day and the management was the host as he greeted customers , answered a busy phone line , took care of pick up orders and seat patrons. Where he messed up, was tryint to be several people at one time. He needed help badly, as other people were being seated before others that were waiting longer, ect. My food did not have a long wait time after i placed my order and the flavors and quality of the food was sooooo good !! Another tip, they are BYOB(bring your own bottle) so if you want a drink you can bring it in with you. I thought that was cool, but me personally when I go to restaurants and eat inside, I like ordering drinks at the bar. They have a bar area but no alcohol there. Maybe the goal is to open a bar but they need a liquor store license? (Idk). All in all, I would not probably eat in again, but I will come back and get a to go order because as I said the food itself was amazing!

My Goddaughter and I were in the mood for seafood and decided to check out this place. I was told…read moreit has been open for about 3 years now but I am just finding out about it. We got there around 4:30pm and was seated immediately. Our server Koya explained our options and took our order right away. We both got a seafood boil with snow crabs legs, shrimp, corn, potatoes, and boiled eggs. She got mussels with her boil and I opted to get extra shrimp and add broccoli instead of the mussels. She got the mild lemon pepper flavor and I got the mild garlic butter. Everything came out nice and hot and seasoned well. My goddaughter said the mussels were a bit on the salty side but everything else was good! It was a slow crowd so it was a chill vibe which I appreciated. Koya checked on us regularly and answered any questions that we had. They had the college basketball games (March Madness) on the TV's which added to the experience. It's BYOB which I will keep in mind for future visits as I plan to definitely return:)

No "Salt, Pepper, and Ketchup" needed in this kitchen…read more.. I got the double crab cake platter...it was all jumbo lump, perfectly formed, seasoned and golden crusted with the creamy center. The collard greens were fresh and you could tell they were slow simmered because the savory and smoky flavor was cooked into the greens. The macaroni and cheese was creamy and cheesy with hints of sharp cheddar. I'd never had snakehead fish, but it won't be my last time! The fish was fried golden, crispy, seasoned and meaty...I can imagine it makes an awesome fish sandwich! The pieces were big enough for my 2 teenaged daughters and myself to eat and have some leftover. The jumbo fried shrimp were also crispy but not over cooked!! They were seasoned and came with a tasty lil sauce. The wings were not too big nor were they too small. They were party wings, but they were crispy and did well the next day being reheated. They offer flavored wings (I think a bourbon bbq and Hennessy), but I wanted a plain fried wing and they were just as delicious as everything else. As odd as it may sound, the potato salad took the show for me! A wise woman once told me that if the potato salad is good, then it's highly likely that all of the food is good...the potato salad had the flavor, creaminess, texture, perfectly sized potato cubes blended with the other ingredients. Potato salad is one of my favorite dishes that I am just learning to make decently. Most restaurants buy their potato salad and you can tell! Not here, I think they have someone's grandmother back there with some cast iron pots and that old school tupperware that was extra thick!! In addition to going about 25 mins out my way while my food sat there, my ride home was about another 20-25 mins...my food was still fresh and did well being reheated when I went back for 2nds and the next day. I even enjoyed the reheated fried chicken which I usually do not do and prefer to just eat it cold. The food was so good, it was on our minds when we woke up the next day! My boyfriend said he hadn't had food that good in a while. That was a true compliment because he seems to only really enjoy his Mom, Sister, Step Mother and my cooking. He asked about any leftovers for lunch. Needless to say, I ordered again on Friday (I was so excited, I didn't get any pics)!! I prayed that the food would be just as good...and it was!! This time, I got everything I ordered the 1st time, but I swapped the fish and chicken for the smoked bbq ribs. I also ordered the strawberry lemonade and they threw in a pineapple upside down cake. The ribs were meaty, tender, sauced and everything a rib should be! I was worried that the strawberry lemonade would be too sweet (dopefiend sweet), but it was not...it was balanced and I could taste mint in it. The lemonade was really good after I froze it a little to get it slushy (it would go well with the spirit of your choice ) i am not a big cake or pie person, but the pineapple upside down cake was delicious. My daughter who is a cake fanatic said it was a good cake and enjoyed it. The owner and his son have a great thing going on here. Very rarely do I get to have an experience where the food is organically good, I don't have to add seasoning and they are consistent! The prices aren't bad at all and the food is fresh and of quality. In addition to it all, the customer service, helpfulness and appreciation made me want to scream from the rooftops how awesome they are. I posted a video of my food and several people I know made a visit, they all had nothing but good things to share and can't wait to go back. That makes me happy because my credibility means a lot to me if/when I make recommendations. It mean't so much to me that I came out of Yelp reviewer retirement just to give this small family owned business their props. My photos are not the greatest because I honestly didn't anticipate being so blown away and compelled to promote them. Hopefully everyone has an awesome experience and is able to get food that feeds their soul!
