Absolutely the worst food I've ever been served in a restaurant! I took one bite of the mashed…read morepotatoes and country fried chicken and I was done. Disgusting! The service wasn't great either. One of our sides was wrong. No apology or acknowledgement of the mistake. When the server asked how everything was and I told him the chicken was terrible, his response was: "What would you like me to do?" Again, no apology or acknowledgement that the customer didn't receive what was expected. Lastly, the place is filthy. The booth we sat in was in the bar area and the filth between the cushions on the seat is gross to say the least. We used to enjoy this restaurant, but it is truly awful. We will never return and I urge you, at the very least, to try a different location. This one is AWFUL.

Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen is a popular regional chain that serves high quality Louisiana/Cajun…read morecuisine. The portions are huge, the service is great, and it's a chain that I don't mind visiting a few times a year. My Overall Rating - 4 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Food, Return) Atmosphere - The Pappadeaux in NW Austin is very nice, there are many large, round tables, cozy booths, and it buzzes with energy. Thick, white tablecloths, wood panel walls, and Cajun music add to the atmosphere and transport you to a fine dining restaurant in New Orleans. Except it's 100% ok to be casual. It feels upscale and laid back at the same time. 1 Star. Service - Our server was excellent. Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever had bad service at a Pappadeaux. Kudos to the training staff, because the servers are very attentive, polite, patient, and will customize anything for you. 1 Star. Food - As soon as you sit down, a nice, oven warmed bread loaf and whipped butter is brought out. Pro Tip - Ask for Scampi Butter to eat with the bread. My go-to dish is the Catfish with Beans and Rice, but on this visit, I went with the lunch gumbo/po'boy combo. I should have stuck with my go-to dish, because the seafood gumbo was too salty, and the bread for the po'boy was overly baked. The fried oysters were delicious, but if the bread roll isn't good, it kind of ruins the entire po'boy. But Pappadeaux has a great track record with me, so I consider this a one-off issue. 1 Star. Will I Return? - Yes. Pappadeaux is a chain the Texas. While I may not return to this location in Austin, I will continue to visit the many locations in the DFW area. 1 Star.

It started off rough when our waitress, Ashley, completely ignored us. We were seated immediately…read moreand were told Ashley was our waitress and would be with us shortly with menus. About 5-7 minutes go by and nothing. We started eating the crackers at the table because we were hungry. A male waiter nearby noticed we had not been helped so he brought us menus and said Ashley was our waitress and he would see where she was. Another 10 minutes go by and nothing. We noticed an Ashley nearby waiting on the 3 tables surrounding us and she never acknowledged us. She showed 1 table some dessert options, she assisted another table with to go containers, and checked on the other after they received their food. All while walking right passed our table multiple times. I kept looking around and we were about to walk out when Mark, another waiter, stopped to check in on us. He apologized about the wait. He said Ashley was our waitress but he would get our drink order started. I thanked him and told him we were actually ready to order. He then asked what we would like. We placed our drink order and food order. Mark was very friendly and professional. He said his tables were elsewhere but he would be taking over our table too. I was glad to hear. I'm not sure if this was a miscommunication issue or what but it seemed that everyone nearby knew we were at Ashley's table but Ashley herself. Interestingly enough, after the 3 tables near us cleared out, so did Ashley. We didn't see her again. Kudos to Mark!! He was observant and noticed we hadn't been helped and jumped right in. If it wasn't for Mark we were going to walk out and dine elsewhere. A manager even stopped by to apologize. He heard what happened and offered us a free dessert. He checked in against later to see how things were. Mark and the manager are a 10/10. The food was just okay. A bit over priced for the quality and portion. The bread was dry. 7/10 The Ceasar salad was so good! 10/10

Once we were seated, we started with two glasses of water which had an odd aftertaste like unfiltered city water. Have to admit they have a very extensive and varied menu which includes steaks, burgers and health conscience meals, but was surprised they don't serve onion rings. I got the bacon cheeseburger which came with plenty of bacon, but no lettuce or tomato. The fries were nothing special and needed plenty of ketchup to make them interesting which is why I was hoping for onion rings. The wife faired better with her chicken fajitas. She was happy with plenty of sides and lots of guacamole ($3 extra charge). When it's time to settle up, you can run your card on the Ziosk which is on the table where you can donate to Saint Jude's and complete a brief survey.

Stopped by to get a little Cajun food fix and Razoo's definitely delivered…read more My standard appetizer of the Boudin balls was better than my last several visits. The last few times they have been overly dense, but this visit they were lightly breaded and very tasty but full of flavor and stuffing of that Boudin deliciousness. For my entrée, I went with the catfish basket. Fresh fluffy delectable, catfish. A cocktail and tartar sauce that accompanied the basket were a wonderful addition The half a ear of corn - was satisfying. A nice Cajun cook on it. I just wish there was more of it. The french fries were a little soggy and not fried to a crisp, but still had an OK flavor. I just wish they were crispy. The jalapeño cornbread was a little of a disappointment super small and very bready Service was strong, he kept good contact, kept my beverage of choice full, despite being the only bartender in wait staff in the bar area. But at the same time he did not hover. I love the vibe of the place this evening. Had good music playing, decent crowd, but spaced nicely so we're not on top of one another.

Delicious BBQ and side dishes at this location! They have chili crisp green beans and fried okra…read morewhich are different than other locations we've been to, and these sides are very addicting. The ribs are cooked to perfection with very tender meat. Don't expect the meat to fall off the bones, it won't but every bite or every flake from your fork is effortless. The seasonings and spices are perfect with a good amount of sweetness. Brisket is not featured in pictures but it's very tender without a big slab of fat in the middle. Brisket slices are also in good thickness. Drinks are the same as other locations. Service is efficient - during slow times they will bring the food to your table.

I had an epiphany while I was shopping at H-E-B this afternoon. Decided instead of trying to buy…read moreitems for dinner, I'd stop by True Texas Barbecue restaurant that is connected to H-E-B and bring home already made brisket dinner. Danielle was a huge help and helping me deciding what to order. There's so much on the menu that I didn't even know how to respond to it. I guess the thing in Texas is to know how much pounds of meat one would eat and n a meal. If I were a football player or a bodybuilder that would make sense. I am not. From what I gather, 3/4 of a pound or 1 pound of meat is adequate for two people. It all depends on how much fat you like on your brisket. So I ordered three-quarter pound with fat and a quarter pound of lean barbecue brisket. That should give me plenty of options. Barbecue is expensive, so know what you like before ordering. It's not like ordering a hamburger. Anyways, it's a very clean atmosphere. They have a big screen TV and plenty of places to sit down and sit your butt and eat your hearts out. My order was for takeout so I wasn't able to order beer. Boo-hoo

Hurricane Grill & Wings markets itself as an "escape from the ordinary" -- a place where the sun is…read morealways shining, the wings are hot and crispy, and the beers are frosty enough to make you forget whatever storm you walked in with. The website paints a picture of a beach‑side getaway: easygoing, flavorful, relaxed. That's exactly why our visit felt so mismatched. My partner and I ordered the Perfect Storm sampler and 10 bone‑in wings, split between Garlic Ginger and Garlic Parm. The wings came mixed with flats and drums, which was fine, but both flavors were so greasy that we had to wipe them down before eating. And not just a little sheen -- I mean the kind of oiliness that dulls the seasoning and clings to your fingers. The Garlic Ginger had a nice aromatic profile underneath, but the fat muted it. The Garlic Parm leaned heavy, with the grease overshadowing any sharpness from the garlic or cheese. The sampler didn't fare much better. The fries were soggy and limp, the kind of texture that tells you the oil temperature dropped or the batch sat too long. The shrimp and mozzarella were edible, but lacked crispness -- everything felt weighed down instead of bright or crunchy. When fried food loses its structure, it loses its appeal, and that's exactly what happened here. From a food‑critic standpoint, the issue wasn't flavor -- it was technique. Grease is a symptom. It usually means the oil wasn't hot enough, the baskets were overloaded, or the fry time wasn't adjusted. When the oil temp drops, moisture stays trapped inside the food, and instead of crisping, it absorbs the fat. That's how you end up with wings that feel slick instead of snappy and fries that collapse under their own weight. And that's where the disconnect with the branding hits hardest. The website promises "hot and crispy wings with a 100% chance of cold, frothy beers," "jumbo‑sized wings," and "an escape from the ordinary." What we received felt more like a kitchen struggling to keep up -- heavy food, tired textures, and none of the crispness that defines good fried comfort food. The frustrating part is that the service was excellent. Our server was warm, attentive, and genuinely kind -- the kind of person who makes you feel taken care of before the food even arrives. But the kitchen execution didn't rise to meet that level. When the service is top‑tier and the food feels like an afterthought, the imbalance becomes impossible to ignore. Great people, but the food didn't match the promise or the care they put into the experience. We wouldn't return.
