    Crawfish ettoufee
    Jimmy S.

    I had the crawfish ettoufee and it was good. There was a decent amount of crawfish on a soft bed of rice. The staff was very nice and attentive. The atmosphere is very much like a lively lunch vibe. It surprisingly got filled up even before noon. I'll have to come back to try the gator nuggets.

    Lunch Pasta Mardi Gras, $26.95.

    Just like all other Pappadeaux, this location's foods were very tasty. We ordered off the lunch menu and the quantity of each plate was more like dinner. Table service was excellent, attentive without being intrusive. We would gladly eat at this location again.

    I hadn't been to Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen in a while. The food was still really good and the quality definitely held up, but the vibe was just kind of meh this time around. It felt like they were trying to rush us out to turn the table over for the next guests. Even with that, I'd still go back again because the food was still solid.

    First time here and definitely won't be the last. Stopped by with friends on a Monday evening and caught the late afternoon crowd as folks were seated around the bar or at the high tops. Our waiter brought over some menus and I legit wanted all the seafood. I ended up going with the Atlantic Salmon Alexander and enjoyed every bit of it. All in all, service was good, food was delicious and the setting was pretty comfortable.

    If you do not want a big meal order from the lunch special and you will still have leftovers. If you order the Pasta Madi Gras and like to dip your bread in the sauce, I recommend ordering an additional side of garlic bread. You cannot go wrong with Blackened Catfish with red beans and rice. If you are a regular the bar staff usually knows what you are sipping on then your drinks will be nice and right.

    Crab and shrimp salad

    Family decided to have an early dinner here and we left stuffed with food for the next day. It's a very popular place in a few cities and when I come to Houston I always visit. They have a pretty large menu mostly consisting of seafood options but they are great. Service is always good and Joseph, our server, was excellent and continued to make sure everything was to our liking. We started off with some apps to share like their signature garlic bread, oyster and this shrimp and crab fondue which were all amazing. Our meals came and boy were the plates huge. I got the Pappadeaux platter which was a slew of fried seafood to share. My sister got pastas and salads and fried chicken and shrimp baskets. There were no complaints at the table except my daughter not liking her catfish and Joseph quickly working to accommodate her and her he buttered noodles with Parmesan without skipping a beat. We were just coming from the mall but I can see this being a nice date night spit as well where you can dress a bit fancy. We will be back next time we are in town

    Fantastic Blackened Catfish & Dirty Rice !!!

    My last 2 visits were Crawfish Étouffée with dirty rice on one dine-in and a takeout of 4 Stuffed Shrimp with dirty rice on Monday night. Both very delicious, high quality, fresh, juicy and so generous with ingredients. The first was full of crawfish cooked properly and a nicely, savory sauce with a savory dirty rice you could eat all by itself. The stuffed shrimp were truly the essence of outstanding and imo, the best shrimp dish I ever had in my life. Each piece was a little crispy outside and so succulent, creamy in feel like mashed potatoes or stuffing in texture you could say and so well-seasoned. The oniony, herby vibes were spot-on and the tenderness was top notch like the taste. The shrimp tail in the middle of each was very tasty and good quality shrimp with actual flavor, not the frozen types some places use. Very welcoming, friendly and attentive service on both visits too. I am not a fan of Pappas Bbq and find Pappas Burger to be good, not great. However, I always truly loved Pappadeaux, Pappasito's, Yia Yia Mary and Pappas Bros Steakhouse. I still need to try a dessert from here next time.

    We were at a conference and stopped by Papadeaux Seafood was great. I enjoyed my dish The oyster was out of this world. A must try appetizer Our Waiter was attentive and fun. Overall, a great 1st time experience. We'll be back

    Shrimp Gumbo

    My husband and I decided to order gumbo for the 2 us for our Christmas meal. My husband picked it up on his way home from work and brought it home. Both bowls were full of rice and hardly any meat. We ordered a separate side of meat and this was what we got, which we paid extra for. I'm not a huge fan, but my husband absolutely loves this place. This is very disappointing. Crazy we paid $50 for this

    Stuffed shrimp was delicious

    The food never disappoints. I try to eat at Pappadeaux every chance I get. The service is always excellent and the ambiance is always cozy and inviting.

    Crispy Alligator
    Eme E.

    Southern hospitality at its finest!!! From walking in with the hostess they told us about 25 mins wait. And it wasn't too long of a wait. They ask for your number so they can text you when your table is ready which is great while waiting we grabbed a drink at the bar. Drinks also were made perfectly the vodka soda and Hennessy side cars they even made us a remy sidecar. Alayna our server was amazing very nice and made sure we were taking care of. The food let's start with a MUST HERE the fried alligator large portion about $22 or 24.95 worth it served with a sauce that tasted like Worcestershire sauce or A1 sauce. But grab the crab spinach dip both together are phenomenal paired with garlic bread very thin and crispy! Dinner ordered the Mississippi catfish and my husband got the salmon Alexander both outstanding dishes comes with dirty rice. Mississippi came with a garlic lemon butter sauce while the Alexander salmon cooked medium rare but once again cooked perfectly to a medium touch all over slightly crispy flavorful with crawfish on top with scallops around with a creamy sauce. You won't be disappointed here and the food came out so quick. Dessert what!!! You have to save room for sweet potato pecan pie a La mode!!! Amazing or take it to go for a sweet treat. Exceptional staff , service and food! Love the personal touch of them coming to your table and asking how everything was.

Unfortunately, the overall dining experience was disappointing due to both the service and the food quality. Our server was very slow throughout the evening. After ordering cocktails, it took approximately 20 minutes for them to arrive. We then ordered our meals... I had the burger and fries, while my girlfriend ordered the shrimp and grits. Both dishes were noticeably over salted. After finishing our meals, we waited an additional 15-20 minutes just to receive a dessert menu. Eventually, we decided not to wait any longer and went to Dessert Gallery down the street instead. While the atmosphere and appearance of the restaurant were excellent, the slow service and food issues negatively impacted the experience. Based on this visit, I would likely not return.

Feels good when an establishment takes pride in their customer's feedback and puts a plan into action. Honestly, part of me was hoping that last time was just a fluke or an off day. This time around, everything from the service to the food was great. We had a 12:30 Sunday reservation for two and opted to sit inside this time. We ordered the cast-iron cornbread, chargrilled oysters, and a cup of gumbo each to start. For entrées, I had the Gulf Fish, while my husband went with the crawfish Florentine. Everything came out beautifully timed, almost like a perfectly paced three-course meal, which obviously made the whole experience feel elevated and relaxed. Our waiter was knowledgeable, attentive, and on top of everything without being overbearing. I also tried the prickly pear aid (non-alcoholic), and it was super refreshing, definitely worth ordering if you like a little tartness to cleanse your palate. Overall, this visit felt like a completely different experience than last time. It delivered the elevated experience a place like Eunice promises and what I was used to originally. Looking forward to celebrating my birthday here in June!

    *this review is only for crawfish, not their regular menu (which is amazing) *…read more We went here during crawfish season because they've been advertising their $8/lb crawfish, and we trusted that it would be great given the quality of their regular menu. We went on a Saturday for lunch. Hopefully this was just a one-off, but if you're looking for good Cajun boiled crawfish, this is not it. We started off with 6 lbs (group of 4) of their regular crawfish. First off, they put the Cajun seasoning on outside/shell (!!), which is a cardinal sin for Cajuns. They also minimally seasoned the boil, so the meat was lacking salt and flavor. We ordered 3 more lbs with the "wet sauce" (garlic butter), thinking the lack of flavor may be attributed to this being the first-ish batch of the day. Nope, the second batch was even less seasoned than the first. The sauce was good, but it didn't make up for the unseasoned meat. The crawfish were a good size, at least... Come on guys, I expect more from a Gulf Coast seafood restaurant!

Inside it's a nice restaurant with an upscale feel to it. I ordered a house salad for $9 to start and the Pasta Rosa entree for another $28. The salad arrived first with a generous amount of romaine lettuce with diced tomatoes, cucumber, shredded carrots and chopped eggs on top. With my chosen ranch dressing it was a good tasting salad. The Pasta Rosa dish had sliced Parmesan strips on top of penne with shrimp, crawfish and sausage for the protein with mushrooms and a tomato cream sauce. This meal initially tricked me. My first impression was that while there was plenty of protein the taste of the tomato cream sauce was lacking some flavor. I expected more. However as I kept eating and getting beyond the top layer of the food the flavor increased significantly. I think that the proteins caused the sauce in the lower half of the dish to create more punch. This dish got better and better and I changed my mind. It turned out to be a very good tasting and filling meal. Finally the table service was very good too. P.S. I also tried part of another appetizer which was the bar b q shrimp for $16. They were tasty. I like Rouxpour and would return. My only negative is that their prices are a little on the high side in my opinion.
