Great little Cajun themed restaurant with good vibes and cool back patio. We got the crab claws and two different type of seafood pasta. We left full and happy. Amazing service and friendly staff. Prices can get a little up there esp for the area but good Cajun food doesn't come cheap.

Shrimp and crawfish view of Blacked Seafood Platter
Jennifer F.

When an associate recommended this place for "good" seafood in middle of nowhere Alabama, my expectations weren't that high. Mannn listen!!!! The food here was sooo good. Better than I expected for small town Alabama. This place can definitely compete with the "big Alabama city" Cajun restaurant offerings. I ordered the blackened seafood combo and substituted the fries and slaw with a side salad and steamed broccoli. My salad came first, and it was a decent size. The salad came with lettuce, cheese, purple onions, tomatoes, and croutons. The platter came out shortly thereafter. The food was hot and plentiful in that basket! The combo included fish, oysters, shrimp, and crawfish. The oysters were plump, too! The blackened seasoning made everything tasty. My only complaint was the amount of oil at the bottom of the basket. (If I'd had some French bread. I probably would've sopped it up though! Lol.) Restaurants tend to overcook steamed broccoli; this wasn't overcooked at all! I was thinking I'd have to add salt or pepper, too; it needed neither! I tried to eat all of everything, but it was too much food for me alone, so I boxed the remainder. I left sad though; only because I chose to eat the hush puppy (which isn't on my diet) and it was so buttery and good and had to leave the other three behind. I thought about the other three hush puppies all the way home on my 1.5 hour drive. I hope they're thinking of me like I'm thinking of them. The servers were friendly and the service was quick. The building looks to be new and it was clean. I'll be checking them out again on any trips back to the area.

Cajun sampler

Papa Dubi's is a wonderful Cajun restaurant. We went there for dinner. The atmosphere was great in the inside and there was outside seating. Our group ordered the blackened seafood combo, the Cajun sampler (with jambalaya étouffée, and gumbo), coconut shrimp, and jambalaya. Everyone's meal was superb. The service was top-notch. Get here early in the evening because it fills up quick!

The food is always tasty. Their new location is very nice ! There's plenty of parking. You just might want to get here when the doors open up. Make the drive up to Papa Dubai's . I can almost guarantee it'll be worth drive!

Mahi Mahi, Cajun rice, shrimp crab imperial sauce
Dana M.

OH EMMM GEEE! Best meal we've had in a while. Appetizer 1/2lb crab claws. Hubby got grilled Mahi Mahi with crab and shrimp imperial sauce, and Cajun rice. I got shrimp basket, no cole slaw extra hush puppies. Dessert... Banana Cheesecake Pudding. Oh my goodness!!! So good! We sat at the bar and had fantastic service.

Blackened Combo Platter
Lisa T.

Amazing!!! Perfect food for a rainy day when you need comfort food. We drove about 45 minutes to try this place and will 100% be going back. I had the chicken and sausage jambalaya and husband had blackened combo platter with shrimp, crawfish, and catfish. The hush puppies were crispy with a touch of sweetness, even good and crispy on day 2. Our server was so nice, I can't remember her name though. She was very attentive to us even though they were super busy. I have a seafood allergy and she was sure to make sure none of my food would put me in danger, so much so they she checked to be sure our fried mushrooms wouldn't make me sick.

Shrimp poboy not dressed.

I found myself in Albertville after a wrestling match and needed dinner. This place came highly rated so we decided to try it. The shrimp Poboy and hush puppies were awesome. The shrimp and crab dip was great. The server was a little ditzy, but she did a good job and the ambience is straight up fun. It's loud and lively. Try it.

Crab Claw Appetizer Crab Claws
Thomas S.

It was, in my humble opinion, the kind of place where you're very pleasantly surprised and it surpasses expectations. We'd read good things of course, but you never know. The decor is simple, nothing flashy, but it has a cool modern vibe and the outdoor area where we sat was bustling with life and great music over the audio system. We started with the crab claws. Always a favourite and these were good. I'm not a fan of cocktail sauce but theirs is good - not sweet, the right amount of zing, and the consistency is great. For dinner we had a sampler with Étouffée, Red beans and rice, and Imperial sauce over rice. All excellent and paired well will a little Cajun Love (Tabasco). I had the crawfish tail basket and it was awesome too. Just perfect and I added a crab cake to it - their crab cakes would get a Gordon Ramsey seal of approval. For dessert we share the bread pudding - very well put together, not syrupy and not oozing with raisins (in fact no raisins - which I prefer). The waitress was a doll and took great care of us, even when she was "gifted" by a party of 15.

Menu options

Good food options and plenty of seating available during lunchtime visit. Located off busy highway, this restaurant is situated behind another restaurant but not too hard to locate. Host was pleasant and shared offerings for my to go order. Selected the lunch special of blackened shrimp which included fries and coleslaw. Substituted the cup of gumbo for french fries for a small charge. Paired meal with crab cakes appetizer and ordered the King bread pudding for dessert. The food was well seasoned and held up well during my drive. The crab cakes, which included 3, were lightly breaded and equally flavorful. Dessert came with instructions to replicate the king cake Mardi Gras design. It was a great mixture of traditional bread pudding with king cake and not overly sweet. Would have given an additional star if crab cakes were not left off of original order. The server who brought my order initially was able to quickly place and add to my items. Overall good eats, service and ample parking.

Fried Catfish Fillets
Christopher C.

The food was delicious..Crab cakes had a great kick. Fries were good and the shrimp and Catfish were awesome . The Cajun rice was ok .. we received some great customer service.. the hostess up from took our order and we picked it up hot from the Drive thru where the young lady was nice as well. Now .. I simply love love love hush puppies and these were some of the best I've ever had. All food was seasoned perfectly. The really deserved a 4.5 stars . They lose .5 for the Cajun rice and rumoulaude sauce.

See all
