Service is top notch!! From being greeted to being walked to our table. Our waiters Dylan and Adrian were a delight, took our orders and food came fast. Everything tasted fresh and delicious! Empty plates were cleared out zooming fast. Our table was nestled in the center above beautiful chandelier. And did I say this place is settled within the airport? Yes I was also pleasantly surprised:)
Wonderful! This was my first time at a Pappadeaux and I was told how good their food was, and they did not lie. After a delayed flight, we went in to dine. Our server was very professional and pleasant and I did like the character of the restaurant, it really displayed the New Orleans feel. It was spacious and seating was comfortable. We ordered a old fashion and Malbec. The old fashioned was made well. For entrees we ordered the crawfish platter and the prime ribeye. Everything was delicious. It was definitely pricey but then again, it is the airport.
While on my 3 hour layover + 1 1/2 hour delay I had to stop! Have not been to Pappadeaux in 10 years, so I was ready! I had to go with a half and half Shrimp/catfish po' boy! Very delicious with a touch of sweetness of the coleslaw. Added the dirty rice. Oh I've missed this! Great flavor, meats and seasonings to perfection. Had to top it off with Myers rum! Just like 10 years earlier but in Dallas! This location has a deep southern Louisiana feel. I dig the environment and atmosphere here. Friendly staff that checked on you often without over doing it. Just glad to see this location in the airport with a full menu of great options to eat! Honestly, next time back in Texas, I would consider stopping here if the location I'm headed didn't have a Pappadeaux!
I've been going to Pappadeaux's at DFW over layovers for years, and it was a place I looked going to. They consistently deliver some of the better food and drinks for an airport. You can't go wrong with the Po Boy here with freshly fried shrimp and a flavorful remoulade. The etouffee was also very good on a recent visit, although it was way too big to finish. I usually grab a shiner bock or beer, but their cocktails also can be decent and fun, e.g. the Swampthing - raspberry & melon liqueurs layered with frozen hurricane & margarita. Looks radioactive, loaded with booze and sugar and probably the worst thing you could drink before a flight, but oh well. Service at the bar was great on a recent visit, and overall, a great choice at DFW.
Got lucky a lady called me in to sit on the bar as there was going to be 10 minute wait to be seated. Our flight was 2 hours away. Lisa our bartender ran the show! She kept all servers straight and made sure food were delivered on time! She took care of everybody and we were packed! Clean bar and lots of things going on. We had catfish sandwich which was huge! And Mac and cheese which felt like almost straight from home kitchen. I didn't think it would still live it up in an airport setting and glad our tummies invited us here. Lisa when she realized we were celebrating a birthday---he had a free key lime pie to go!!! And guess what---they give military/vet discount! 25%! Can't beat that!!! Highly recommended!!!
Note: I went to the Pappadeux Seafood Kitchen bar across the hall from the actual restaurant. From the outside looking in the bar looked more chill than the restaurant so that's why I went there. The service was amazing. The server asked when my flight was to see if I needed to rush my meal. Although I had plenty of time I really appreciated it. The seafood gumbo was amazing. The garlic bread with it was soft and buttery. Everything tasted delicious and fresh. The margaritas were perfectly balanced and strong. This was some of the best airport food I had in long time.
For an airport restaurant this was a great spot to stop and rest between flights with full table service. A full bar, a great menu, and outstanding service. The restaurant was clean but tight to maximize occupancy. Table and bar seating available. While there was a nice selection of seafood on the menu the prices were set for business expense credit and not the non business travelers. We ended up getting a more affordable option with a burger that was great. Despite the elevated pricing, it was solid meal and they would come back again if I was looking for a place to stop between flights.
Great food and a welcome lunch stop while we waited for our flight. The restaurant is bright and clean with TV screens. We enjoyed our lunch while watching Sunday football. The restaurant was busy and I appreciated our waitress. She was attentive and didn't rush us since we had time to spare. Our lunch was great. I enjoyed my salad with salmon. I wish the salad had romaine or mixed greens instead of iceberg but it was still good. My husband enjoyed his crawfish etouffe and said it was just as good if not better than the one he had in New Orleans.
Everything about this restaurant in Terminal C was lovely. We ate salads after two weeks of BBQ, Whatabutger and enchiladas. Tasty. The server was friendly. The TVs showed a professional darts game, which was perfect to watch while waiting for your flight to board But I'm giving it one star because the suggested tip was calculated on the total bill, which includes tax. This is incorrect. One does not tip on tax. Perhaps it's the manager's mistake or a corporate directive or a software feature. Regardless, it's wrong. Should you dine here, please check your bill.
It's Pappadeaux, it's an airport, what's not to like? It's one of the few airport restaurants where the food is consistent with what you get outside the airport. The seafood is fresh and tasty. Love the fried shrimp and catfish. The breading is light and crunch. Lots of great cocktail options as well. If you have a little bit of a layover in Dallas. This the place to get a good meal. Service was friendly and fast.

I've gone to Pappadeaux a gazillion times where I live, but I think this was my first time ordering at DFW. The prices may be on the pricey side, but you get what you pay for! I got this shrimp and crawfish étouffée during my layover at DFW. The portion was plenty and it tasted, of course, so delicious! The server who helped me with my order was also very patient and very gracious. I wish I've gotten her name! If I have a layover in DFW in my future travels, I'll definitely consider getting my meal from Pappadeaux! read more
Love Pappadeauxs! When I have a layover in DFW I never mind as I know I can get a great meal here. Sat at the bar, the person who took care of me was great. They were attentive and clarified that the snapper is not spicy. lol Got a glass of wine and's the snapper with crab sand carrots. Amazing. Another lock the plate clean! This location is a bit smaller B than the B one in terminal a but just as delicious. You won't be disappointed. read more
Service: First thing first is service! The hostess greeted me with a smile, and ushered me to a seat right away. My waitress came over with a warm and polite welcome. I mentioned to her that I don't eat shellfish, so she provided me with an alternative option. She even suggested a popular cocktail. Food: I ordered the blackened Salmon with rice and spinach. Everything was cooked to perfection!!! To top it off with a banana GUAVA BANANA MAI TAI, SOOO DELICIOUS!! Ambiance: Very clean, decorative, and enjoyable while listening to good classic music, this is my type of atmosphere. I even had a great conversation with the lady sitting next to me, as we were both exhausted from our business trips. Next time I'm traveling through DFW, I'll make sure to stop by Pappadeaux Seafood (Terminal C), THANK YOU FOR YOUR GREAT SERVICE!! read more

Quick service, perfectly cooked food and delicious drink. Couldn't ask for more for an airport. Amazed at the quality and great hospitality! The ambiance was nice for the airport as well. Tables are a little close but wouldn't expect more for an airport read more

Fast service if you're in a rush to catch a flight. Had about 26 minutes before my connection but was able to enjoy a delicious meal. It was seriously good, especially given the limitations with operating a restaurant inside of an airport. The customer service was spot on! The waiter was super thorough explaining the menu and understood that some customers might be in a bit of a rush. read more

When you have a 3 hour layover pop over to terminal C. Pappadeaux has some comfortable seating. We ordered the fried calamari and it came out hot and delicious. Ordered the chop salad with blackened salmon, it was huge... My husband ordered the shrimp and Cajun chicken tenders. He loved it. Hated that we had such a long layover but happy that we can enjoy a leisurely meal at the airport!!! read more

Coming back from Florida I was craving seafood. I had some time before my short flight so I decided to dine here. The atmosphere felt like you left the bustling airport and were able to relax. The hostess was delightful, the waitress was fantastic helping me figure out the menu since I've never eaten at Pappadeaux before. I got the Sauvignon Blanc and the fried crawfish, both were delicious. I was able to take the fries to go for a plane snack since the flight time was so short we wouldn't be served in flight. Would definitely recommend dining here when going through DFW. read more
The service was excellent. Food came out quickly, and they helped us be on time for our flight. Food was tasty, although I do feel it was a bit salty. Other than that, it was great. I'd come back if I'm ever in the Dallas area again. read more

On a layover and I am starving, I see Pappadeaux and since I have eaten at one before I thought if they can get me in and out, deal. My waiter did, he was amazing! I had a Shrimp Po Boy and fries. Some of the best seasoned fried shrimp I have ever tasted and the sauce on the sandwich was just as tasty. Fries were crisp. Yummmm.... read more

Was waiting for my flight and decided to stop in and I was not disappointed. The food and service were amazing. I ordered pasta and the turtle brownie. It was scrumptious. The atmosphere was giving very chill vibes even though it was at the airport. Definitely recommend if you are flying through Dallas-Fort Worth airport. read more

Ok experience at PSK. Ordered the PoBoy sandwich and it was a mess. Shrimp was very greasy and bread was soggy. Reason for 2 stars and not 1 is Alicia the bartender who was kind and friendly. A great server all around. It seems I should of ordered the pasta with Shrimp as folks appeared to enjoy that dish. read more

What a magnificent break from the chaos of the airport to a delicious and wonderful meal. Take the elevator down and be transported into a mini replica of the original restaurant. Lots of menu options, full bar and lovely atmosphere. Sat at the bar and the service was great. Started off with that shrimp fondue and it was too die for. Creamy, delicious, cheesy and piping hot. It was loaded with shrimp and large enough to be a full meal. It's served with toast. Then had the peach specialty cocktail. It was delicious, but not strong enough so I switched to the Hennessy drink and it was perfect. The crab, shrimp and scallop pasta was absolutely delicious! It was creamy and flavorful throughout every bite. I've never had this menu item and I hope they keep it forever because it was absolutely delectable. Restaurant was clean and comfortable. Great ambiance. I highly recommend to escape here if you're at DFW. read more

AOK. I had a short layover, and the bartender was very helpful with taking my order and getting me cashed out ahead of time. My salad with salmon came in maybe 10 minutes, leaving me another 15 to eat it. The salad had some nice things mixed in, but the bulk of it was clearly bagged. Fresh enough though, and the salmon was spot on. Light crisp on the outside while still moist on the inside. I would get it again. The beer list was decent as well. I don't recall asking for a tall, but that was OK by me! read more
