Our once favorite seafood restaurant turned in to a club on Easter evening. The rap music using vulgar words wasn't appropriate. I've been dining at Pappadeaux since I was a kid, but that's it for us. We tried to sit at multiple tables but the speakers with the rap music above us wasn't happening. We also dine at Pappas steakhouse once a week a block away, but we are definitely rethinking how we spend our money dining if this is what the new Pappas wants their product to be, especially on Easter. read more

My husband and i stopped by this location 7-30-23 and i really dont have any complaints! the atmosphere was nice the service was nice and as always I'm never disappointed BUT this one time, i ordered the tagliatelle pasta, which i dont know why because I'd rather order pasta from a Italian restaurant but it looked really good on the picture of the menu! So I ordered it and i must say for a $38 dollar dish i would expect more than 2 shrimp, 2 scallops and a tablespoon of crab meat! My pasta was kind of stuck together and it could have used a little more cream sauce but the overall taste was really good! I am also noticing the pricing on the appetizer gumbo has went up ALOT! You either get all shrimp or all sausage etc.. if you order the seafood gumbo the cup is now $11.95 for a cup! I ordered the shrimp cup size and that would NOT filled up my 2 year old granddaughter! If you Order the bowl of seafood gumbo for $18 you may as well just order a plate of food! Pappadeaux is one of my favorite restaurants but these prices are getting a little ridiculous! If they had started off this way that would be fine! But they didnt! But Overall, Yes! I will still go because i love their food! But wont order pasta or gumbo again! OH and also whoever the cook was that made the gumbo that day, the taste and the color was off! I will probably stick to the memorial location thats closer to me for now. read more

I love Pappadeaux! Especially this location. The service is always awesome and the general ambiance is the nicest of all the locations I've been to. All the food we ordered tasted delicious! There was nothing we didn't like. What we got: 1 dozen blue point oysters: these are only $6.95 for ONE DOZEN! It is their special Monday through Thursday's. These oysters are usually $12 for half a dozen. They are smaller and taste better than the gulf oysters they offer. I HIGHLY recommend these. They taste soooo fresh. Definitely my favorite! Sautéed crab fingers (appetizer): you get a ton of crab claws with the meat you can just bite right off. They come with the tastiest dirty rice that has a little kick. They come soaked in a delicious sauce. Fried soft shell crab dinner: we opted for three crabs and they were fried perfectly! They were large and has the perfect amount of seasoning, they were also juicy. Their baked potatoes are massive! There is no way I could finish one, but if you had to pick one side I would suggest the dirty rice. They also offer desserts, the sweet potato pecan pie is my go to! I would definitely be a regular here if I lived here, especially for those blue point oysters! I wish they would open one up on Oahu Hawaii. read more

Passing through on our way home and stopped in with my husband and brother. Overall ambiance was okay at this location and it got crowded pretty fast. I can't remember our server's name but she was very patient and accomodating. We were pleasantly surprised at the amount of food we received and the taste. To start we tried the Shrimp and Crawfish Fondeaux with the softest garlic bread. This dish had plenty of seafood and was way more than enough for 3 people. My husband had the raw oysters and said they were really fresh and perfectly shucked. The Pasta Mardi Gras was enough for two people. I had leftovers that were even better the next day. The Rainbow Trout & Shrimp were full of flavor and well seasoned. The sautéed spinach was an added bonus in this dish, also full of flavor and well seasoned for spinach. A great pairing and definite must try. The Seafood Platter was typical, nothing really stood out about it pass the stuffed crab. It was my husband's birthday so he was treated to a dessert. He chose the Creme Brulee'. Taste as good as it looks. They got it right!! We also had the Turtle Fudge Brownie topped with ice cream. It was very rich but great for a chocolate lover. I could only take two bites. We also ordered some drinks. I had the Swampthing and it was good but I probably wouldn't order it again. It was a tad too sweet and tasted more like a daiquiri. I was hoping for something different. Overall, it was a little pricy but a good stop while we were in town. read more

I get it that Pappadeaux is the spot in Houston but this wasn't it, we got there at 8 and didn't get our food till after 9 (which they were closed by then) and they had no problem vacuuming and putting all the chairs up around us. For the amount of money spent the waiter didn't really care about us and really didn't apologize for the almost 20 minutes to get our checks back. Food was mid so just overall disappointing. read more

The website menus are only displayed for kids, i.e. web site inadequately maintained. Could the kitchen be the same?

So this is one of my favorite locations, the outside is nice, if the weather lets you enjoy outdoor seating I highly suggest! But if not indoor always works. Their regular menu is really well put together I recommend you try everything on the menu at least once, because I have. But I have a go to... On a light day I would go for their seafood cob salad it's very big so I would recommend splitting it to share so you can order more food. Lol The salad itself is so satisfy I get everything that comes with it but if you're a picky eater than take out what you don't eat but the salad is a must try! I also go to their seafood gumbo, I'm picky about my roux so their roux is good add a hint of hot sauce and you're set. If I am sharing I also would recommend getting the sauté crab fingers with dirty rice. You would not regret my go tos! read more

You can never go wrong with Pappadeaux's because the food is always great. We went at the beginning of lunch, so we didn't have a wait. My waitress Jerricka, was a jewel. She was Very Attentive, and so polite. She made sure that we understood the menu, and answered all of our questions. As usual I ordered the Shrimp and Grits. It was sooooo rich and creamy. The shrimp was seasoned to perfection. The red beans and rice had an amazing taste and the blackened fish was moist. If your in the mood for great food and beautiful atmosphere please come here. read more

Love this pappadeaux ! 6015 westheimer .... It's Close to my home BRANDON (black male ) answers "to go " orders is an asset to the resturant. Phone etiquette and professionalism is unmatched ! He should be training others ! I actually got a chance to meet him personally when he delivered my food to curb side 7/31/2022 about 450pm. Soft spoken gentleman he was..... made sure order was ready and correct ! My second encounter over the phone with him and I finally got to place a face with the name !! I've never really had a bad encounter with this pappadeaux! Will continue to support !! Food is always piping hot and delicious wether to go or in house dining !! My to go order has never been wrong and it's been over 12 years I've been patronizing! read more

Maybe it's because I'm from Louisiana but this food was straight garbage. A waste of $117.00 plus the tip. Crab and spinach dip was luke warm which took away from the taste. Plus the spinach wasn't creamy at all. The two boudin links were disgusting. The rice mixture had a red color to it. My 10 year old couldn't eat it. On to the fried seafood, the fish and shrimp were breaded. It reminds me of the cheap grocery store frozen Sea Best brand that you warm in the oven. Now for the finale, the absolute worst dish was the soft shell crab!! Omg! This was 2 baby gumbo crabs soaked in oil! I couldn't even taste crab meat because number 1 it was so tiny, and then 2, it was drenched in oil. My husband had a frozen drink which was good. I will never return here for food! I would only visit the bar for drinks! The food was so horrible that it wasn't worth a picture. read more

Great food, great ambience, service was great, restrooms were clean... valet was nice, first time visiting, thank you

Cameron is the best server on the planet! If you go to the Westheimer location, ask for his section!

The best seafood restaurant in Texas. Never disappoints. Excellent service and the food is exceptional.

The food is first rate, we have never had an imperfect meal. The service is great and we are not rushed. The seafood fondue is an excellent way to start your meal, you had better bring friends because you won't want to leave anything behind.....the rest is history. read more

I love it here everything is always so good ! First place I stop by when I touch down in Houston !

This restaurant has the best gumbo ever! I love the seafood platter with all kinds of variety of seafood. 10/10

Went to this restaurant to celebrate a birthday. Order crab dip as appetizer it was cold, order wine, wine glass dirty, waiter never offer to pour the wine into the glass and waitress seen what happen and came to pour the wine into the glass. Order the pan trout fish cold and under cook, dirty rice was great. Roasted potatoes blend. Then ask waiter for birthday cake, cake came with candle and was place on table but singing of happy birthday. This was the worst experience ever. Thanks to the manager for not billing me the horrible food. But I definitely won't be going to that location. Beaumont location is way better and worth the travel. read more

This has gone downhill. We went there for a date night and sit in the table for about 10 mins. No one stops by to bring water and all waiters didn't even make eyes contact with us. Absolutely worst restaurant experience. I am truly sad that this restaurant has gone from great to worst. read more

1) Seating was horrible. Discussed with the manager and she apologized. 2) Food bland and not fully booked. The manager did not present professionally but manager and server both apologized and offered a free desert. I expected a pleasant ambiance. When I requested to be moved. The couple next to me was playing a loud game or music without headphones(I did not care to hear), I expected to be moved. There were eight tables in a row that were vacant. The hostess stated that each table had a different server therefore we could not be moved. I requested the manager she apologized, but did nothing. The food was bland and once again we were offered free desert. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. I gave it a star because the review would not post without it. Needs different personnel This read more

I don't think i hardly ever have much of a bad server experience enough to make me not want to tip. Our server here with a lot of dreaded hair and very animated checked in on our table well i will give him that. But how is it that when he was asked to bring to go boxes for our food because we had quite a lot of it left individually. he tells my bestfriend (who just graduated and we had a little celebratory lunch here that was $90) of course and he grabs our plates. so im thinking as some restaurants will go and do it for you so its properly done and would've been excellent top notch service. he brings to check and takes my card and then tells us have a good day. i'm confused and looked at my friend like where's our food? i call him back over and he gives me a dazed look and i said are you bringing our food back and he just opens his mouth and says "it's gone love" ex-fucking-scuse me? i asked to clarify he threw our food away that we barely ate and finished and he says "yes love im sorry" he offers no type of compensation, no remorse but a damn "yes love" as if he's sweet and innocent and shouldn't be punished for it. my friend understands how disrespectful it is as this meal was expensive. you won't experience a different kind of anger until it happens to you and then you see it taken from your bank account as well. i don't know why my friend thought that we should still tip him because of "karma" karma for f***** what he threw our s*** away because he was in his own world. that was going to be the rest of my food before my flight the next day and you're telling me i had to go to get us more food after? you can clearly see on the receipt the scribbles of us fighting against on tipping him. Im going to give a call to speak with management today when open and i need something resolved because i paid for a full meal but most of it was literally thrown out? read that again. paid for a full meal and the majority of it was thrown out so why wouldn't it be partial at least? he couldn't comp that or even try? the cameras can see this conversation happen and the facial expressions so there's no lying about the situation especially with receipts being retracted. if the management tells me they can't solve it, i will contact headquarters next and if that doesn't work for compensation my bank will get involved and if i need to take this further it will because i feel robbed. i was excited to bring my bestfriend to pappa because i loved it as a kid and it's been awhile since ive been. now that bond has been broken and it can burn in hell for all i care read more

Nice atmosphere, good food! Service was quite in spite of us being a table of 10. We seated in a reasonable amount of time, 20 minutes or so, considering we had no reservation and walked in at 7pm on a Saturday night.

Love coming here when visiting other cities as I do not have one at home. To start they have great drinks! We had the Grand Hennessy cocktail and it was yummy. The dinner choice that I got was the Crawfish Etouffee Platter, it came with Crawfish Etouffee over their Dirty Rice and Fried Crawfish. I love this combo. If you like gumbo this is a good alternative to try something new. The flavor is great and good spice but not overpowering. The Dirty Rice is a great compliment as well! The only thing that could have been better was that my food could have been piping hot, aside of that it was great! Our server was nice and willing to help us in any way being a group of six. read more

I missed breakfast and I was starving so I dropped in to Pappadeaux's. When I got there I ordered my drink and they brought the bread. I ordered the Ginger Glaze Salmon Blackened & Well done. I ate bread and drank for about 20 minutes. My food came... it wasn't blackened or we'll done. However, it did taste good so I wasn't trippin'. I was going to order dessert but I didn't want to wait too long. Left a decent tip and get out of there. read more

Pappadeaux is always a must for my family and I whenever we are in a city that has one! This time around, it was my girlfriends first time eating at a Pappadeaux! For an appetizer, we got the crispy alligator and the fried mozzarella! Those appetizers never disappoint! As our entrees, I got the Ribeye. My girlfriend got their salmon. Lastly, my dad got catfish! Over all, it was a great experience, the service was amazing and the food was spot on as always! My girlfriend now loves it, just as much as my family and I!

I came here for a company Christmas lunch. I would have given four stars but some of the items on the menu fell short. The fries were so dry and stale they were tough to eat. I understand we had a large party, but I still feel like the fries should have been fresh. The key lime pie was entirely TOO SWEET, and this is coming from an owner of a small bakery. I couldn't finish it. The great things that make me want to give them four stars, our waiter Jordan was amazing. He was incredibly attentive, kind, and patient with all of the random requests he was receiving. He even made jokes here and there. Jordan was all around awesome! The fried crawfish was seasoned to the T! The butterfly shrimp was also delicious! They also served a salad- it was a Greek salad... a little strange for a Cajun restaurant, but I'm not complaining, it was delicious! It even had FETA that I could crumble myself. I think I'd like to come back with a smaller group to get a real experience of this restaurant. Great job with your personnel though- I'm all about customer service and you all have great customer service. read more

The food is good here. Unfortunately, the service can be hit or miss. I have had very nice people help me here, but I have also experienced what seemed like reverse discrimination. The reason for one star is how the hostess treated us. She had just seated two people in a large booth and returned to seat us. Her frowning face and demeanor indicated that she didn't like us from the start. She walked ten feet to the worst table in the restaurant and tried to seat us. We politely ask for a small booth (many empty ones) and she never answered us she just followed us to a booth we chose. We asked her another question and she never responded. She was noticeably rude to us and so we left. read more

The food was excellent our server was new very sweet and had too many tables on a Saturday night. Service was very slow the bartender needs to learn how to make a cosmopolitan it was straight up good not even taste the alcohol and warm yuck.
