    I love Pappadeaux!! Ever since I was a young girl my aunt would bring me here after church on Sundays or shopping at the mall so my mind always associated the comfort food and amazing atmosphere to good times! This most recent visit did not disappoint. Lately I've been advocating for a new location in Nashville but this is as close as I could get. We came on a Sunday afternoon before I hit the road to return home! Our server was attentive but obviously trying to up sell us at every opportunity though we came in knowing what we wanted. He was kind but pushy in a comical way. The strawberry lemonade was phenomenal as well as my favorite the Mardi Gras Pasta. This was as close as I could get to Louisiana for the weekend and I am looking forward to coming back soon!

    Huge portions, good food and good service. What more can you want besides the lobster tank with the giant lobster in it? Makes me miss those times when Walmart had the fresh lobster in the tank. The apps were good, I got the Pasta Mardi Gras as my entree it was decent with a huge portion. I liked the inside looking like a ship, parking is free at this location.

    OMG, this Pappadeaux restaurant is by far the biggest restaurant I have been to since visiting the ones in Dallas. Alpharetta doesn't offer outdoor seating like the ones in Dallas do. My shrimp étouffée was so delicious and flavorful. It had the all the right cajun spices that hit the spot. The shrimp to rice ratio was perfect. It was a very quiet but early dinner before leaving Atlanta back to Cali. Our server was super nice. I would definitely come back and try more entrees at this restaurant if I ever make it back this way again.

    Customer Service was decent. We were one of the first customers who of the day and they were out of many items. We ended up with a bunch of add on items on our bill because every time we asked for something they were out of they countered by offer another item. Very disappointing experience. The loaded potato used to have a candied bacon which really was the star of the show. They no longer have that and the potato was just bland and fell flat. Upon getting out check, we hand the waiter our card, the receipt he bought back showed he ran out card for a higher price. We got the manager and the waiter had charged an additional salad to our tab after bringing the receipt for our correct order. I honestly don't have a need to return. Clean establishment very spacious. Helpful staff. Underwhelming experience. I've dined at most Pappadeaux locations throughout the US and this location was the least pleasant experience. Garlic bread and fried food was good. The fried oyster were tough in some spots. Brownie appeared over cooked in texture/taste. Dirty rice had no flavor. Stuffed shrimp and stuffed crab were amazing.

    Late lunch at Pappadeaux which was my first time here. Came for the chargrilled oysters and they were out, which was a bummer. Calamari was good and crispy. The crab & spinach dip was just okay.I can't remember the name of my entrée (it was a specialty item) but the crusted sea bass over spinach and tomatoes in a buttery sauce...A winner! Bartenders were super nice and made me a custom drink that hit. I'd come back.

    I took my friend here for her birthday. At first, I almost suggested going somewhere else because of my previous bad experience.. But I am so glad I didn't because this was an amazing dining experience. The server Kenny made it amazing! We ordered the Pappadeaux Seafood platter and it was so delicious! I had everything we wanted: Fried shrimp, fried clams, stuffed crab and popcorn shrimp. The dining area we sat in was sunny and a nice quiet corner so we could hear each other and catch up. We are thinking of going back for MY birthday!

    A group of about 10 of us went in last night, we had reservations and were seating right away. We had Niiya as our server and she was awesome! Very friendly, and fun. She was fast and very attentive without being overbearing. Everyone had a great time here! I had the filet and it was ok, not the best steak ever for sure, but everyone that had a seafood dish absolutely loved it. They're still talking about it this morning, I just don't eat seafood.

    Amanda has definitely been one of the best servers that I have come across in such a long-time. Refreshing customer service, top tier and she has definitely raised the bar. She is an, excellent representation of the Pappadeaux's brand! Somebody give this lady a raise as soon as possible! Her recommendation for the snapper was simply amazing! The service was top tier, the food was top tier, and the drinks were delicious. You can ask for much more everything was cross t and every I was dotted. I highly recommend this location. And if you don't do anything else make sure you ask for Amanda!! You will never be disappointed with her I promise! She has such a beautiful spirit and she provides an amazing customer service experience. We have thoroughly enjoyed our experience from the time we walked in the door until the time that we exited everything was sheer excellence! Thank you Amanda and Pappadeaux for an amazing experience.

    Pappadeaux is NEVER a bad idea. Never. Yet, we rarely venture to this Alpharetta location. We did this weekend, however, for my daughter's birthday dinner. She was turning 4 and wanted to wear a fancy dress. After considering plenty of other restaurants in the metro area, we landed on old faithful. Pappadeaux has food the whole family can enjoy, a dedicated children's menu, and offers an atmosphere where one could safely dress up or come more casual without feeling out of place. The experience did not disappoint. Our waitress was great and everyone enjoyed their food. We were offered a free dessert for the birthday girl and chose the banana pudding. It comes in a large mason jar, so everyone was able to get a small serving that more than sufficient for our party of 5. As a note, for anyone who has been a longtime Pappadeaux customer: the menu continues to shift while keeping several popular staples. The seafood Cobb salad is one of my go-to menu items. So, I really happy the waitress let me know of the changes so that we could customize my salad if needed. The big changes are (1) this served with a wedge instead of a lettuce mix , and (2) comes with a French dressing rather than the creamy vinaigrette.

    Love Pappadeaux! We always get the same thing everytime we come - the mozerella sticks and fried shrimp with French fries. It is absolutely delicious everytime. Definitely recommend reservations, but depending on the day you may be able to get away with not having one.

    My 2nd time gracing the bar at this location. The bartenders are always nice and attentive. The food is always good per Pappadeaux's... Everything came out hot and we went there late so of course I was expecting an attitude and did not receive any at all. I so appreciate you all. I'm sure I will be back and will be justice, please. The baked potato's are HUGE lol side note

    Many say that Pappadeaux is over rated but that'll never make me not like them! I love them! The food is always prompt, tasty and of great quality! I love this their seafood. The salmons are always my favorite. The salads are the best, they never disappoint. The drinks are always made perfect. I love their bake potatoes. Customer service is always top tier.

    The stuffed grouper was cooked to perfection and the savory carrots were a plus. The ambiance was nice and quiet and the staff were all very friendly. I throughly enjoyed the brownie. Would definitely return.

    Food was good. Service at bar was mediocre at best. Would definitely recommend the one in Marietta instead.

    Do they take reservations?

    YEP

    Why are the portions so huge?

    It's a restaurant that caters to families. Most times serving sizes are big enough to share and perhaps take home for leftovers. The food is always fresh and yummy. Options are endless. Enjoy.

    Does this location serve brunch? If not, which Atlanta area location does?

    I don't know if they have Monday - Saturday brunch. But I've been to the Sunday Brunch Buffet and it's delicious and it's so many options.

    Big Easy BBQ - Do Not Waste Your Money or Time Eating Here A…read morefew days ago, I watched a well-known BBQ show that offered a simple rule: if there's no smoke coming from a BBQ restaurant, keep driving. Today, I ignored that advice and regretted it. A friend and I decided to try Big Easy BBQ for lunch instead of visiting one of our usual favorites. After reading positive reviews, we drove more than 30 minutes to see what the hype was about. The first warning sign was the nearly empty dining room at lunchtime. The second was the complete lack of that unmistakable BBQ aroma. Despite both red flags, we stayed. My friend ordered the St. Louis ribs with sides, and I ordered the half chicken with two sides. When I noticed he had barely touched his ribs, he handed me a piece to try. The meat was tough, dry, and tasted as though it had been cooked well in advance and reheated. Unfortunately, my chicken was no better. It also seemed old and reheated rather than freshly prepared. For sides, I chose dirty rice and Cajun BBQ beans. Neither tasted particularly fresh. The dirty rice was acceptable at first but quickly lost its appeal, while the beans were merely average. Having lived in New Orleans for five years, I know what good Cajun and BBQ-inspired food should taste like. This wasn't it. The highlights of the meal were my iced tea and my friend's French fries. Service was equally disappointing. The server checked on us only in passing and showed little interest in our experience. When we requested takeout boxes for the food we barely ate, there was no inquiry about why our meals were largely untouched. We both took our leftovers home, though neither of us was enthusiastic about them. The lesson here is simple: online reviews should never outweigh what your eyes, nose, and instincts are telling you. A busy dining room, the smell of smoke, and trusted recommendations are often better indicators than a collection of glowing ratings. As a final note, my friend and I normally pay separately, but I felt responsible for suggesting this restaurant and paid for both meals. If paying for two disappointing lunches taught me anything, it's this: save your time and money, and eat somewhere else.

From king crab to fried jumbo shrimp, this food won't disappoint. Their house seasoning for fries and other fried foods is amazing. Both sweet and sassy, but very addictive. The homemade cocktail sauce seems to employ the same flavors as part of their mix. Yum! Preeling, cracking, and dipping makes for a messy meal so dress accordingly.

I had tried a seafood boil from here a while back, and the sauce wasn't as good as what I've had from a local competitor. However, my boyfriend insisted that we give it another try, so we ended up ordering the Kickin Combo #1, along with a dozen raw oysters and an order of fried oysters and fries. The raw oysters came out first. I didn't want any, so they were for my boyfriend. Immediately after trying the first one, he wasn't happy with it. He said it tasted fishy but decided to give another one a try, thinking maybe the first was just a bad one. Unfortunately, the second wasn't any better, so he sent them back. Next came the fried food, which is never a miss. I absolutely love the fried oysters here. Then the seafood boil arrived, and at first glance, it looked promising. The seafood appeared large and fresh. I grabbed a shrimp first, sucked the head, and immediately noticed a strong fishy taste. I then dipped the shrimp into the sauce, but the sauce was watery and lacked flavor. I tried a few of the other items in the boil, including a mussel, but the texture was extremely chewy. Between my boyfriend and me, we ate a total of about ten or less things from the boil before deciding we were done. Unfortunately, it was not good whatsoever, and I was extremely disappointed. I asked if there was anything that could be done, and the manager offered to reheat it. I explained that the temperature wasn't the issue but the fishy taste and the texture of the seafood. He then said there wasn't anything else he could do besides take 20% off the bill. While I appreciated the discount, it was still disappointing given how much of the meal we were unable to eat. The service itself was good, and the ambiance was chill, especially since we went during dinner. Unfortunately, though, the food quality of the seafood boil and raw oysters overshadowed the positives for me. All in all, I won't be returning.
