As most brunch/lunch spots are on Sunday it was hard to hear the others at my table. Food was good too. The deviled eggs were good but didn't stand out, would probably skip next time. We got the black truffle pizza which was great. It was PLENTY of food even split between 2 people. It had a great flavor and the crust was to die for. The omelet was good too. It was the CPT which had a lovely pancetta flavor. By far the BEST part of our meal was dessert. The key lime pie was Incredible. The gram cracker crust was clearly fresh and had lime zest in it. The pie filling was bright, punchy, and deliciously creamy. And to top it all off the toasted meringue was no too sweet and added an extra texture that made this dessert absolutely decadent. The quality and quantity of the food here for the price was fantastic and we will definitely be back. The surrounding area is cute too. Overall a great spot I'd highly recommend.

Anyone that's been to Dallas (or perhaps just certain parts of Texas in general), knows all about…read morethe chain of "Papa" restaurants that range in all sorts of genres of foods. The Papadeaux Seafood Kitchen, which is the Cajun brand of the Papa restaurants, is my favorite of all the chains. Food is always fresh and flavorful with the service always being friendly and fast. This particular location is at the Dallas airport and it's great bc it's literally one floor beneath the airport so it's quite peaceful when you sit in its inviting and warm decor. I tried their "Mississippi Catfish Opelousas" which had blackened catfish fillets in a Cajun cream sauce loaded with shrimp, oysters, and lump crab meat served over dirty rice. The whole dish was decadently flavorful and hit the spot right before my connecting flight. Portions are quite large and worth the somewhat steep price.

This place defies all of my knowledge and thoughts about airport food…read more How can this joint manage to be this good, to as many world travelers, consistent by all appearances and indicators by myself and the continued good reviews, is baffling to me and makes me question reality itself in that if this is possible, can world peace actually be a possibility, in the world somehow, in the future of the world, and all of its people in all of the lands from beginning of time until the end of time, amen. That's a run on with terrible grammar.... That's how far off this place has thrown me. My server was also a freaking rock star!! What in the world is happening at Terminal A, DFW?!?!? He made excellent suggestions and took excellent care of me! In fact, all of the staff seemed to be top notch! Inside is like you are nowhere near an airport. It's kind of sunken between terminal floors or something. I took an elevator down and popped out in a strange place in a server area where my actual server was just standing there waiting. How in this hell is that étouffée that damn good. Now I realize some of the best Cajun food I've ever had came from a frozen bag from a place in Franklin TN (that's another story on Yat's), so I am likely not the best judge, but I do know good food. What I had here was really good. I got the crawfish platter and it was enough food for me, my server, and the fat guy sitting next to me at the other table. Well, maybe not, he ate all of his plate and then a whole dessert. I missed what he had before he inhaled it. But.... My server was skinny so.... LOL. I ate and ate until I could not eat anymore and still only managed to knock out about 50% of it. The fried crawfish was great and cooked perfectly. Just the right seasoning too. Dirty rice is hit or miss for me seasoning wise, but this version was really good too. I ate a good bit of it. The étouffée part of the dish was the real star of the show. Holy shit! So gooooood! Throw some of those fried ones in it and damn. I'm done. No more. If you read this, get your ass the DFW Terminal A and get some of this inside you as fast as you can! Stop what you are doing, miss that flight, leave grandma at the gate, ditch the kids, whatever you have to do, do it now, get on the dang train if need be and go get some of this food in your damn belly! I rode from Terminal D here and back just to eat! '26 - 11

The bathroom is in great condition with no visible mold or ickiness we can sense at some older hotels.

They offer smoothies in the morning the morning I checked out which was refreshingly good.

There is a large parking garage just across from the main entrance so parking wasn't an issue and I honestly prefer to self park anyway. The girl at the front desk checked us in quickly and was friendly, however, did not go through any of the elite member benefits aside from late checkout (F&B credit, lounge access, complimentary wifi, welcome gift, etc) and o ended up having to use the chat function to ask about all of those things. There was a pool and fitness center along with a club lounge for elite members to enjoy breakfast in the morning along with snacks and beverages throughout the day. The room was large and well up-kept, however, it had a strong musty smell and some of the pillowcases has brown stains on them which led me to wonder if they had actually changed them or simply made the bed without changing anything. Overall a pleasant stay but given the stained pillowcases, musty smell, and lack of info given at check-in it's a 4/5 for me.

It just feels very manufactured. The menu is varied. If you've read my reviews before, you know that I'm a Texa-fornian, so there are a lot of places in Texas that don't suit my palate (or my waist line.) I was easily able to find a couple of things that I would have enjoyed. Based solely on the calorie count, I picked the salmon with cauliflower rice. It was a little oily, but it was good. I cleaned the plate. It's dark inside, like a steakhouse. Not for me, but if that's your thing, you would be happy. It's clean the food's fresh and if you're a drinker, there is a lot of beer. I'm not a drinker. Maybe you're asking why did you even go? Someone gave me a gift card and someone gave my daughter a gift card, so we had to use them.

They're known for massively tall "yard" servings of beer, though I didn't see anyone trying one on my lunchtime visit. They do have a good 4 pages of beers on the menu! The place has high ceilings with exposed pipes lending an industrial vibe. The menu helpfully marks vegetarian options as well as lower calorie choices. I was impressed to see power outlets along the purse hooks below the bar - if you wanted to bring a laptop and catch up on work emails, it'd be possible. Our waitress was business-like and a little unfriendly, and service was terribly slow. The food was good. Free refills on our drinks flowed freely. I tried a veggie burger which was a bit spicy and oaty. I wish I'd tried a salad! Still, I appreciated that they worked with me on reserving tables for a large group all with separate checks.

Recently we have noticed a 'gnat' issue that really needs to be addressed. During our meal we killed a couple of the little buggers, but several more were there to take their place immediately.

We will be back, but we hope this gets addressed- ***Update 2.06.2026 The Tilapia sandwich has been my go to for years but STILL, the issue with this restaurant is the gnat problem!

For desert; because our waitress Allison twisted our arms so we got the New Orleans Breaded Pudding with Whiskey Sauce. Our dining experience was greatly enhanced with live music (Wednesday Nights); there are other nights also. The bathrooms were clean. This is an old downtown building and that factors in. We love the character of the restaurant and the wait staff was very friendly. Go!!

The portions are also huge Our server was wonderful from start to finish. He was friendly, attentive, and checked on us often without being overbearing. The service was honestly the best part of the experience. We started with the Sichuan calamari, and this was easily the highlight of the meal. It was perfectly crispy, the glaze had just the right amount of sweetness and heat, and the seasoning gave it a nice kick without overpowering the calamari. It was one of the best calamari dishes I've had and definitely raised my expectations for everything that followed. Next was the tenderloin bruschetta, and unfortunately this one just didn't work for me. The flavors didn't come together, and it was much saltier than it needed to be. It felt like there were too many things happening on the plate without much balance. I wouldn't order it again. For the entrées, the Chilean Sea Bass was very good. The fish was flaky and cooked well, the risotto was creamy, and the sauce brought everything together without being too heavy. It was one of the stronger dishes we ordered. The lobster stuffed ravioli was another solid choice. The filling was generous, there was plenty of lobster on top, and the vodka sauce complemented everything nicely without taking over. It was rich but still well balanced. We also tried the New Zealand rack of lamb. This one had mixed reviews at our table. It wasn't as tender as I was hoping, but I didn't dislike it and again I didn't love it! The blackened exterior and the wine reduction gave it good flavor, but it just wasn't particularly memorable. My favorite entrée ended up being the tomahawk pork chop. The pork itself was juicy, flavorful, and cooked really well. I wasn't a huge fan of the pineapple bourbon glaze since I didn't think it added much to the dish, but the quality of the meat made up for it. We also had the strawberry spinach salad, which was fresh and a nice lighter option alongside all the richer dishes. Then there was also a side dish with green beans and almond and again no complains there. Overall, I left feeling a little conflicted. The service was outstanding, the atmosphere was great, and the portions were very generous. The food itself was a mix of really good dishes and others that completely missed the mark. After such an incredible start with the calamari, I expected the rest of the meal to be on the same level, but it just never got there. I'm glad we tried it, but I don't think it's a place I'd rush back to.

The service was also great, with attentive and friendly staff throughout the meal. Unfortunately, the food didn't match the quality of the setting. I tried their chicken tortilla soup and was disappointed. It tastes more like tomato soup with chicken and vegetables rather than an authentic tortilla soup with the depth and flavor you'd expect. It fell flat and I can't recommend it. The cantina's strengths are clearly its ambiance and service, but if you're dining here primarily for the food, you may want to manage your expectations or explore other menu options. It's a beautiful spot for a meal and drinks, but the culinary execution needs improvement.
