    Stuffed crabs with fries
    Angela B.

    Still a solid location to visit. Consistent in food and the ambience is nice. Good 90's R&B playing this evening so got to jam along. Arrived close to 7pm and got sat right away. The hostess were very friendly and she asked me how my day was going on the way to the table. Diane was my server and she was ok, didn't interact much. She dropped the menu and picked up the ticket without a greeting, when she did return asked for a drink. Asked if I wanted bread on the way to drop food at another table and dropped the tea shortly after. When she did return to ask about an appetizer, I already knew what I wanted to order. Order came out pretty quick and was exactly as remembered. Delicious! This time I dipped the baked potato into the sauce on the plate. Out of this world!

    Popped in for dinner Saturday night, and they were packed. We were seated quickly even though we didn't have a reservation. Our server was very friendly. Things moved kind of slow with getting drinks and food, but our server was very apologetic and offered us a free dessert. We definitely understood, as they got slammed all at one time. The bread was a bit over cooked and dry, but we enjoyed the rest of the food. The calamari and octopus was cooked perfectly and very flavorful. The soft shell crab was excellent! The roasted oyster were very flavorful, but a bit greasy and salty for my taste. I could only eat two of the six. I had a couple of martinis, but I don't recommend them. They were very watered down and had very little vodka. They also ran out of glasses. So they served my last one in a champagne flute. It was a decent dining experience but not great.

    FIRST OF ALL MANAGEMENT Was not very nice. My daughter and a few of her colleagues made a very big accomplishment. We walked in an asked for a table that would seat at least 11. The host at the desk was attempting to assist and the manager said that table is not available the hostess said yes they canceled. She preceded to go back and forth with her staff and finally walked off. We were then seated and accommodated according to our request. From then on it was smooth sailing. Our server was very pleasant and on top of things even though someone introduced her as new she did very well. We were very pleased. Everyone said their food was delicious. I ordered shrimp with dirty rice. The rice was a little cold but I didn't complain to the server she was doing her best. Lightning was ok floors were clean.

    Mississippi Catfish Opelousas (very tasty)

    Been to several Pappadeaux's now and this one is consistent. Our server was superb, she really went out of her way to make sure we enjoyed our meal (eg. Offering to let me switch meals if I didn't like what I ordered). My party of 5 came around 6pm on a Monday and didn't need a reservation. I had the Mississippi Catfish Opelousas. It was very tasty and a good portion. A little spicy, but no complaints from me. Everyone else also enjoyed their meal. The salmon in particular looked really good, as well as the bacon wrapped shrimp. Entrees are around $30-40

    I've been to Pappadeaux several times now and literally have never left disappointed. Their food is amazingggg and so incredibly tasty. Their service also always on point. Pro tip- make a reservation if going on a weekend because it'll save you significant amount of waiting time! Our usuals: 1. Pasta Mardi Gras - sooo tasty and love the combo of shrimp, crawfish and sausage 2. Texas Redfish - another massive portion of food with an incredible butter sauce 3. Wild caught grouper lunch portion is so tasty as well 4. We always do the shrimp and crawfish fonduex to start Please go here. The portions are huge which make the prices worth it. It's incredible and you definitely won't regret the incredible flavors!

    Hot green tea with honey and lemon, simple and delish!
    Rejeanna W.

    I needed to wine down and stopped by for some hot tea. Customer service was so-so today, busy lunch time around 11:40am. ​I ended up ordering this pasta, can't remember the name, but every bite was delicious!!

    I came to Pappadeaux to celebrate myself for my birthday, and it was exactly the energy I needed. I started with the Crab & Spinach Dip with parmesan crostini. Creamy, seasoned, not shy on flavor. Perfect start. Then came the star: the Wild-Caught Red Snapper with jumbo lump crab, lemon butter, toasted almonds, and that sautéed spinach. The spinach was so good I had to pause mid-bite and stare at the plate. The fish was grilled just right, tender and flaky. The crab was delicious too, though I would have appreciated a little more considering the price. Still, the dish was well-executed and memorable. The Dirty Rice was a whole experience on its own -- perfectly seasoned, deep flavor, and absolutely worth mentioning by name. The woman sitting next to me at the bar ordered the Oven-Baked Crab Cake. I snagged a taste (with permission, I promise!). Perfect texture, perfect seasoning, and that lemon caper butter was the right kind of bright. Great vibes, clean environment, attentive staff. And the Old Fashioned they made me? Not too sweet, not too strong, just smooth and grown. And they sent me home with a complimentary Key Lime dessert to wrap up my birthday dinner. It was legit good -- bright, creamy, not too sweet. And yes, the fact that it was free was just the cherry on top, not the reason it slapped. Treat yourself here. I'll definitely be back.

    Seafood Cobb Salad
    Enrique G.

    Been here a million times, love the food.... I always go for the gumbo that is amazing and the fish Ponchatrain, best stuff in the menu. Deliciously amazing, but........ Service is hit or miss, this time was a miss. I got my fish and was half sauced, that delicious buttery sauce was badly poured ONLY on half the fish, surely I asked the server for more sauce and he cam back with a BS story that They'd charge me for an extra order of that sauce!!!!! Yes exactly that! They served the $40+ plate with half the dressing and then decoded to charge me extra for the rest! WoW...

    Pappadeaux has changed and not necessarily for the better! The food is still good as is but the pricing, service and offerings are different nowadays! They offer basically nothing on the happy hour menu which explains why it is empty! The salmon Alexander is delicious however and serving size is good but come on now corporate !! The atmosphere is nice with music that isn't too loud !

    Seafood Cobb Salad with Shrimp
    John L.

    Pappadeaux was directly across the street from our hotel, so we stopped here for lunch. I wish we had this restaurant here in Northern CA. This place was so good, I went twice on my trip. The first time, I had the Seafood Cobb Salad. Probably the best Cobb salad that I have ever had. The shrimp were fresh and big. Full avocado and perfectly cooked bacon. When I comeback to Austin, I am getting this again. Second time around I had the Shrimp Po boy sandwich. This was massive. I could only finish one side. It tasted great and French fries were perfectly cooked. Customer service went above and behind. I got halfway done with my Coke Zero and the waiter came through with a refill in a new glass cup. A+ service from this crew. The restaurant is real nice and clean. I saw they had a nice bar area with some TV's to catch a game at. Next time I will definitely do that. I can't wait to comeback to Pappadeaux.

    Seafood Tagliatelle Pasta
    Michael C.

    We were actually about to attend a YELP Elite event in Austin and I had a wardrobe malfunction with my old resurrected cowboy boots. This after creeping around searching for parking for about 20 mins. So I had to bail, didn't even go inside. Aaagh! As we were already dressed up for the occasion, I decided not to let the night go to waste. Went and grabbed a pair of "Hey Dudes" from Marshall's and drove to Pappadeaux Seafood. Tried to call, but no answer. Dreading a long wait, but when we arrived, we were pleasantly surprised and were seated within 5 mins. Our server "Avery L." was excellent. He had quite a few tables in his section, yet he was "On top of it". He provided some amazing dinner choices. He knows his stuff. As it was days away from our 20th anniversary, we decided to not look at prices, but enjoy the experience. Wife ordered " Seafood Tagliatelle", pasta over an assortment of seafood. She loved it. Was surprised when she figured out she was eating octopus, but the flavor was so good, she didn't mind. I ordered the "Salmon Alexander", Grilled Salmon, crispy skin down, with shrimp, langoustines, and scallops, in a brown butter sauce. The combination was a delicious blend of seafood and dirty rice. All and all we had a great time, until we asked about dessert. If I recall they had "Sweet Potato Pecan Pie", "Vanilla Bean New York cheesecake", an Amazing Bread Pudding, Key Lime pie and one more, (sorry). We were stuck between the Sweet potato pie and the Bread pudding. I conceited and we enjoyed the Bread Pudding. This was not your everyday pudding, oh no! Rum soaked raisins, baked in a texture similar to "Tres Leches", and topped with Hagen-Daz vanilla ice cream. OMG, I was stuffed. The was the best meal I've enjoyed here in a while. Come on down and enjoy it for yourself. Ask for Avery, you won't go wrong. Michael C. - Georgetown, Tx.

    Hot Honey Glazed Gator Bites
    Amri L.

    When in Texas, I always stop at Papadeauxs. The gator bites are so flavorful you'll be begging for the recipe. I love their take on garlic bread. This was my first time trying their po boy and gumbo.. i was not that impressed . Definitely get the gator bites!

    chocolate martini
    Mary S.

    We enjoyed our company dinner at Pappadeaux, with afairly large group that they were able to accommodate. for that alone, they deserve 5 stars. i ordered the Atlantic salmon Alexander with carrots (instead of rice). They askhow do you prefer your salmon cooked. I went with medium well and that seemed delicious and with good texture. I recommend the chocolate martini as an appetizer and the cheesecake to wrap up the dinner. The service was excellent. Most of the group was very happy with the choice of this location for our group dinner. We will be returning.

    Do you guys still have your lump crab cake on the menu? Had it at a Pappadeaux during a layover at Houston airport and it was so good.

    Does this restaurant still serve orange peel chicken?

    I don't think they ever had orange peel chicken? They are a seafood/ Cajun restaurant.

    What are some of the dinner prices? On their menu it shows no prices.

    Expect to pay around $30 per person for dinner.

After seeing Lil' Easy's extensive Frozens list, we had to taste test. My friends ordered the Cowboy Coffee and Celestial Sunrise, and I tried the Saturn frozen. We were surprised at the complex flavor of the frozens, and enjoyed all three. To eat, we started with the boudin balls which will now be a mandatory order for all future visits -- crunchy on the outside and perfectly soft on the inside, served with creamy creole mustard aioli. My friends loved the cajun meat pie and fried butterflied gulf shrimp. I enjoyed my order of the gumbo, and snagged one of my friend's hushpuppies, which was perfectly done -- not dry! We ended with an order of the rum cake with vanilla ice cream, which was deliciously decadent. Counting down the days until our next visit at this fun spot. The only negative was the bathroom line -- there are only a few individual bathrooms, so be prepared to wait.
