    Great little Cajun themed restaurant with good vibes and cool back patio. We got the crab claws and two different type of seafood pasta. We left full and happy. Amazing service and friendly staff. Prices can get a little up there esp for the area but good Cajun food doesn't come cheap.

    When an associate recommended this place for "good" seafood in middle of nowhere Alabama, my expectations weren't that high. Mannn listen!!!! The food here was sooo good. Better than I expected for small town Alabama. This place can definitely compete with the "big Alabama city" Cajun restaurant offerings. I ordered the blackened seafood combo and substituted the fries and slaw with a side salad and steamed broccoli. My salad came first, and it was a decent size. The salad came with lettuce, cheese, purple onions, tomatoes, and croutons. The platter came out shortly thereafter. The food was hot and plentiful in that basket! The combo included fish, oysters, shrimp, and crawfish. The oysters were plump, too! The blackened seasoning made everything tasty. My only complaint was the amount of oil at the bottom of the basket. (If I'd had some French bread. I probably would've sopped it up though! Lol.) Restaurants tend to overcook steamed broccoli; this wasn't overcooked at all! I was thinking I'd have to add salt or pepper, too; it needed neither! I tried to eat all of everything, but it was too much food for me alone, so I boxed the remainder. I left sad though; only because I chose to eat the hush puppy (which isn't on my diet) and it was so buttery and good and had to leave the other three behind. I thought about the other three hush puppies all the way home on my 1.5 hour drive. I hope they're thinking of me like I'm thinking of them. The servers were friendly and the service was quick. The building looks to be new and it was clean. I'll be checking them out again on any trips back to the area.

    Papa Dubi's is a wonderful Cajun restaurant. We went there for dinner. The atmosphere was great in the inside and there was outside seating. Our group ordered the blackened seafood combo, the Cajun sampler (with jambalaya étouffée, and gumbo), coconut shrimp, and jambalaya. Everyone's meal was superb. The service was top-notch. Get here early in the evening because it fills up quick!

    The food is always tasty. Their new location is very nice ! There's plenty of parking. You just might want to get here when the doors open up. Make the drive up to Papa Dubai's . I can almost guarantee it'll be worth drive!

    OH EMMM GEEE! Best meal we've had in a while. Appetizer 1/2lb crab claws. Hubby got grilled Mahi Mahi with crab and shrimp imperial sauce, and Cajun rice. I got shrimp basket, no cole slaw extra hush puppies. Dessert... Banana Cheesecake Pudding. Oh my goodness!!! So good! We sat at the bar and had fantastic service.

    Amazing!!! Perfect food for a rainy day when you need comfort food. We drove about 45 minutes to try this place and will 100% be going back. I had the chicken and sausage jambalaya and husband had blackened combo platter with shrimp, crawfish, and catfish. The hush puppies were crispy with a touch of sweetness, even good and crispy on day 2. Our server was so nice, I can't remember her name though. She was very attentive to us even though they were super busy. I have a seafood allergy and she was sure to make sure none of my food would put me in danger, so much so they she checked to be sure our fried mushrooms wouldn't make me sick.

    I found myself in Albertville after a wrestling match and needed dinner. This place came highly rated so we decided to try it. The shrimp Poboy and hush puppies were awesome. The shrimp and crab dip was great. The server was a little ditzy, but she did a good job and the ambience is straight up fun. It's loud and lively. Try it.

    It was, in my humble opinion, the kind of place where you're very pleasantly surprised and it surpasses expectations. We'd read good things of course, but you never know. The decor is simple, nothing flashy, but it has a cool modern vibe and the outdoor area where we sat was bustling with life and great music over the audio system. We started with the crab claws. Always a favourite and these were good. I'm not a fan of cocktail sauce but theirs is good - not sweet, the right amount of zing, and the consistency is great. For dinner we had a sampler with Étouffée, Red beans and rice, and Imperial sauce over rice. All excellent and paired well will a little Cajun Love (Tabasco). I had the crawfish tail basket and it was awesome too. Just perfect and I added a crab cake to it - their crab cakes would get a Gordon Ramsey seal of approval. For dessert we share the bread pudding - very well put together, not syrupy and not oozing with raisins (in fact no raisins - which I prefer). The waitress was a doll and took great care of us, even when she was "gifted" by a party of 15.

    We had New York Strip steaks carry out. They were cooked to perfection, really great taste and…read moreorder filled correctly. The food was packaged to stay hot. Great food, great service.

    This place is fine, but I wouldn't necessarily stop in again unless I had to…read more Pros: Everyone was friendly, from hostess to our server The restaurant was clean, including the bathrooms There's plenty of parking There's something on the menu for everyone, I guess Ample gratis rolls with spiced butter Prices are quite reasonable Cons: The server forgot I had ordered a salad until I reminded her when she checked on us halfway through eating our entrees (and the salad had some really gross chopped tomatoes included, not that I wanted it at that point) My burger had absolutely zero seasoning, and it was DRY--even the ketchup at the table couldn't save it. I would have appreciated an offer of mayo, mustard, anything...but the whole salad debacle interfered The mashed potatoes were FOUL and ice cream scooped (never a good sign) When you have that many items on the menu, you know that things are being microwaved and little attention is being paid to details With that said, for what it is--basically Applebee's and Outback had a baby and decided to have Chili's (for the fajitas) as a godmother--it's alright. There are many other local (non-chain) joints in the general vicinity I'd patronize first.
