    We came to this restaurant for my little brothers birthday and did not make a reservation. Although we had a party of 8, we were able to be seated within 30 mins **but learn from my mistakes, make a reservations, they get very packed quickly so unless you wanna wait all day, reserve your spot**. We tried plenty different things and had a great time. Our server Jafaar was very helpful and attentive. The vibes inside and outside are nice! Sadly it was raining all day so we did not get to enjoy outside. The food was good, I enjoyed most of the things I t

    Located @ 5365 Jimmy Carter Blvd Norcross, GA 30071 Health Score is 99 = A on 3/17/26 Enjoyed a Birthday Celebration here today during lunch. My waitress name was Mirivenia and she delivered EXCELLENT customer service from the start. I was greeted upon entry and was very pleased with my overall service and delivery. I ordered Crab and Spinach Dip for an Appetizer and the Crispy Atlantic Salmon and Jumbo Crab for my entree. If you're a Seafood lover then this is the place to be. Located in Norcross, Ga right off I-85 North The ambiance was super crowed during lunch time. Even the bar was packed so be prepared to wait a few minutes. The overall vibe was gear and I'd definitely recommend this restaurant for lunch or dinner. It was the delicious Crab & Spinach dip with garlic bread for me.

    5 stars Went to Pappadeaux on a Saturday evening with an 8:30pm reservation--highly recommend booking ahead because the wait without one can easily hit an hour and a half or more! Parking is pretty tight, but once you're inside, the restaurant setup is amazing--big, spacious, super inviting vibe that screams fun Southern/Cajun energy. The staff was great, attentive, and really knowledgeable about the menu. The menu is real-deal Southern seafood with that authentic New Orleans flair, and everything tastes like it's cooked from scratch--no premade sauces or generic junk here. Quality was top-notch: fresh ingredients, made to order, and portions are generous. The fried shrimp and fried chicken were absolutely bomb--crispy, flavorful perfection . The catfish was well-prepared and flaky, but the real star of the show was the red beans and rice--rich, smoky, and just outstanding. Drinks are highly potent (in the best way) and the pricing isn't ridiculous for what you get. This wasn't my first, second, or even close to my last time here--Pappadeaux consistently delivers, and I'll be back again and again! Highly recommend if you're craving that true Southern seafood fix.

    Lunch and it was pretty good. Needed a nap after this one. I usually get other things at other times but needed to post this review.

    Not the least expensive entree on the menu but well worth the money

    In Celebration Of Mardi Gras Week I Had To Go Get My Cajun Seafood Fix. I Couldn't Resist My Favorite Entree The Atlantic Salmon Alexander - Salmon topped with Shrimp, Scallops, Crawfish & White Wine Cream Sauce With Dirty Rice My Delicious Mocktail Was A Hibiscus Grenadine Delight, Coconut, Lime ‍ Pineapple Mint & Club Soda. The Parking Lot Is Huge With Plenty Of Spots Along the side & rear of the building. The Service Was Bustling With Warm, Professional & High Energy Staff. The Ambiance Was Nautical With Gulf Coast touches It Feels Coastal As If You Are On A Ship Giving Maritime Vibes. The Dining Experience Feels Fancy & Casual At The Same Time & The Seating Is Perfect For Families Or Large Groups. The Bar Seating Is Huge, Comfortable & If You're Dining Solo It Feels Like Community.

    Every time I'm in town and there's a Pappadeaux's I am there. The food never misses on flavor. Anything I order is well worth the price. Arrived late as they do stay open later on the weekends. Customer service was attentive could've been a bit better, but overall enjoyed the visits every time I come.

    Food is consistently good no matter what location you go to which had been my experience thus far. Ive visited Dallas and Houston locations earlier this year and this is my first time at the Norcross location. Food was amazing per usual. I noticed this location doesn't serve complimentary bread like the Texas locations.

    This location is the training center for all wait and chef staff to advance and move onto other locations. Coming here gives you the precision of how your experience is intended. The attention to detail is a priority, waiting staff hold are commissioned to make your experience absolute. Waiting times for seating is minimal at this location unless we are dining during the holidays and if I am comparing this location to another nearby.

    I...love it here! Fought some traffic to get to this location, so I was pleased to find that parking was plentiful and we could get right to the experience. The restaurant is spacious and clean with dark tones that make you feel cozy, regardless of the temperature and size of the space. An immediately great feel. Finding out that they operate with a scratch kitchen (everything is made from scratch) added to my excitement. The server effortlessly answered each of my menu questions and came with some A1 cocktail recommendations. A cocktail menu that can lure me away from my usual dirty martini is DOING SOMETHING. My friend proceeded to order the biggest crab cake I've ever seen, confirming my order for the next visit. My salad was great as well, and we had a time devouring the crab and spinach dip. Generous and decadent portions. I feel like I've been missing out, as this was my first visit to Pappadeux's. But now, I know!

    I enjoyed the meal, however I felt like the sauce was bland & needed more salt. The shrimp was delicious. And this was a filling meal! Pasta Mardi Gras

    First time to Papadeaux and I'm hooked. On your path into the restaurant, you are greeted by a gorgeous fountain and garden area that is reminiscent of the French quarter. You then enter this beautiful establishment and there is a long bar for those who wish to indulge in some adult beverages or grab a quick lunch and then you co tibie walking into the main seating area. Our server, James, was amazing. He knew the history of Papadeaux's, let us know about the various types of restaurants at different locations, and gave us great recommendations. We were there for the Seafood Cob. salad with lump crab and shrimp. Just go to the pictures because I won't need to say too much more. I will say this...crispy, candied bacon, boiled egg, garbanzo beans, blue cheese, tomato, shrimp, lump crab atop crispy lettuce and the best dressing with lemon wedges on the side. It's "shut the front door" good. PS It comes with onions but we opted out. The fried crawfish was tender and crisp and plentiful.l and everything fried seafood should be. The sweet tea was everything Georgia sweet tea should be. Mouthful of refreshing sunshine on a hot day! Between the excellence in service from James, the food and the ambiance. We were sold. Please come to South Florida, Papadeuax's. We need you!

    Our first time in Georgia, and we were brought to this amazing restaurant! The ambiance was beautiful--warm, inviting, and full of charm. The staff was super friendly, and the food? Absolutely incredible. We tried gator for the first time (surprisingly good!) and the calamari was perfectly cooked and flavorful. We shared a seafood platter, gumbo, and the Mardi Gras pasta. My favorite was the crab in the seafood pasta--so fresh and delicious. The portions were huge, and everything was packed with flavor. By the end of the meal, we were beyond full in the best way possible. If you're in Georgia and looking for a spot to eat, this place is a must-try. You won't regret it!

    "Louisiana" Andouille Sausage & Seafood Gumbo
    Michael Y.

    Pappadeaux is a staple restaurant that has modified its menu over the years to fit their clientele after COVID. The basic things are still the basic things and they are still good. I went for my usual sausage and seafood gumbo and a Cobb salad--very well done. Our server was excellent and we would definitely go here again. The atmosphere is always fun and bouncy, making it a good place for a casual date or watching sports at the bar. I love the Buffalo Trace Old Fashioned and Just look at this gumbo!

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. The tables have fresh paper on top, ready for you to do your worst. Bibs and tools, too! Service here is very attentive and friendly. The dinning room is casual and spacious.

I will say the crawfish prices are most worth it especially when they have the $10/lbs deals on Tuesdays and Wednesdays! Add ons for corn, potatoes, and sausages are reasonable prices and they do not skimp out ok the sauce! I've tried the cajun fries and the garlic noodle! The garlic noodles are okay they're more dry and have whole garlic in it instead of minced. But the fries remind me of steak and shake skinny fries! The service is great. Servers are attentive and make sure your water's always filled. The place is clean and there's a double sink outside the restrooms that make it easy and convenient to wash your hands. Overall I love this place and would choose it over any other seafood restaurants :D

    Juju Seafood | Duluth, GA…read more Juju Seafood is a Korean restaurant that has customizable seafood boils, Korean seafood dishes, and late-night Korean comfort food. The owner is very cool and friendly. Is a pretty small place and got a cool chill vibe. I like they open late. Here's everything we tried: Spicy Chicken Feet Stew A generous 2-3 person portion loaded with bean sprouts that soak up all the flavorful sauce. The chicken feet were braised until incredibly tender, and the broth was spicy, rich, and incredibly addictive. The rice that came with it needs more mayo, so is more creamy and bc is not sticking together to make it into a ball. Beef & Shrimp Pancakes (Recommend ) Mini Korean-style pancakes served half beef and half shrimp with a chili soy dipping sauce. Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. Garlic Butter Seafood Boil (Recommend ) One of their signature dishes! You can customize your own seafood boil with your favorite seafood and seasoning. We chose the Garlic Butter flavor, and it was rich, buttery, and packed with garlic without being overwhelming. Spicy Braised Chicken & Crab Stew Available Fridays and Saturdays only, with only 10 portions made each day. The sweet and spicy broth is cooked with potatoes and fragrant perilla leaves that add so much flavor. First come, first served! Lychee Soju (My Favorite , but little pricy) Served with one whole lychee per shot! Fruity, refreshing, and so smooth that you could barely taste the soju.

Only 2 couples when we arrived. We were greeted by a pleasant server, he showed us to our table and were quickly brought water. We ordered combo E in mild coconut curry, we requested the sausage to be separate from the seafood. They did that for us. Thank you. We also ordered fries, sweet potato fries, calamari, steamed broccoli, coleslaw and softshell crab. We loved everything we had. My favorite side was softshell crab - done perfectly not oily. We didn't enjoy the calamari as it was too chewy. Wouldn't order this again. The combo E was supposed to be for 2 - 3 people but it fed 6 of us.

But I checked yelp and saw they were open. They were completely empty. Never a good sign. I was here between 12 and 1 for lunch and I was the only customer. One other party came in while I was eating. But that was it. I did not see any to go orders going out either. Several other yelp reviews said the prices were reasonable and the portions large. I am not sure what you consider reasonable, but I can't pay $40 or more for lunch. So the seafood boils were out. I know crab legs costs money, but that also means they are out of my price range. I went with a fried everything platter for $17. Well the food was really good. Made to order and served fresh and hot. The oysters were perfect, crunchy and creamy at the same time. The shrimp were juicy not overcooked. Everything well seasoned. The hush puppies probably came out of a bag frozen. Sweet style with whole corn kernels. But they were good too. The catfish was I think pre breaded, but well seasoned. Everything tasted great so they immediately went from a 1 to a 3. I can't say it's a great value but they do seem to be priced accordingly considering the cost of fresh seafood. I would go 4 but the empty parking lot and weird vibe just left me a bit uneasy. I would say 4 for food. 1 for atmosphere. 3 stars overall. Try it, but carefully. I plan to return.
