What a wonderful experience. As always your food was SPOT on. The ambience was serene and quite peaceful. The high light of our meal was topped only by the service we received. Our server Ms. Gina has a beautiful heart warming smile that lights up any room. She was courteous, friendly, and ready to help. I asked for an item that was not on the menu. She jumped right in and helped me find the meal I was so hungry for. What amazing service. Thank you Erick for stopping at our table. Please take my words to heart. It is a service that many restaurants have lost. Molly and Manuel Salcido. read more

This wasn't my first visit - so I knew what to expect. I was with a large group and we got a limited menu. We got an abundance of fried calamari and a smidgeon of octopus. The app was crisp and a tad salty - the artichoke hearts didn't help. I chose the redfish/shrimp w broccolini entree which was good. They had a few local beer choices - drink service was a bit slow but that's to be expected. Key lime pie was too sweet for me. read more

Thoroughly enjoyed dining at Pappadeaux (first time) that we came back again a few days later! My family really appreciated that the server instructed the kitchen to split a meal for 2 people without us having to ask. That stood out to us as top notch customer service. And even with splitting a seafood entree, the portion size was just right. It was the perfect amount for 2 people. The restaurant is enormous - we didn't have reservations for a Friday night so intentionally came late afternoon and even then, the place easily had 25+ tables already occupied. Within the hour, by 5pm, the place was easily at 75% capacity. I typically don't like crawfish but having tried Étouffée and fried crawfish here, I am now a fan! Pappadeaux just knows how to cook seafood right. The grouper and halibut entrees were executed to perfection - I haven't had fish cooked that well in a long time. read more

I want to start this by saying that you can judge the class of a restaurant by the class of the staff and management team, and how they handle the little oopsies that will inevitably occur. I am giving this Pappadeaux a 10 on class. My son and I stopped in for lunch on our way home from Houston. I ordered the bacon wrapped stuffed shrimp with fries and, of course, sweet tea. My son had the fried crawfish and crawfish ettouffe with dirty rice and a water because he is better than I am at consuming water. His meal was perfect. Huge portion size. He loved it. My meal had a little mishap. I won't say what as I don't deem it important. Things happen. We're all human. However, I discreetly asked for my waiter and explained the issue. Now what happened next says EVERYTHING. He immediately acknowledged the issue, apologized, and removed the plate to have a new one made. In the meantime, the manager (a pleasant gal who was very polite and professional) visited our table and apologized and went above and beyond to make the mishap right. My meal arrived and was so delicious. While typically the food is the most important part in my reviews, this time it was not. This time, I gave full stars for the professionalism and courtesy of the server and manager. Things are going to happen, and when they do, the most important action is how the situation is handled. Every server can learn a thing or two from our server. I know I am probably about to butcher his name, but I believe it might have been Keshawn. The manager, who told me her name, but I forgot, should be training all managers on how to be the beacon of professionalism. read more

The food is ALWAYS, and I mean ALWAYS ON POINT. Their consistency never disappoints. Many of the servers at the bar have been there a long time and provide excellent service. The atmosphere is wonderful but the food is the showcase! I honestly don't know how Pappadeaux doesn't already have a permanent overall 5 star rating. 5 STARS FROM THIS PATRON!! There is simply no other seafood restaurant that comes close to Pappadeaux quality in their price range. The Texas Redfish Ponchatrain (blackened) for the win. Also, This is where my son and I tried oysters for the very first time and despite our personal fears & reservations over eating raw oysters we were very surprised at how delicious we thought they were. You need to give this place a try! Sorry I didn't provide a pic but trust me, their plates are all beautiful! read more

Let's just say the Oyster special made our night-- a dozen oysters for half price (I think they were $12?)... we figured "why not?" But when they came out, they were huge, fresh, and with a perfect array of accoutrement. It'll be hard for any other restaurant to ever beat the quality and the price!! Everything else was good-- the shrimp etoufee was flavorful (a tad salty for me), and the rest of our party loved their meals-- fried catfish and shrimp prepared a number of ways. The service as great-- friendly and prompt. We'll be back next time we're in town! read more

I went for an early lunch with my family and I have to start by saying I was unsure of what to expect. I have been to this location before and the experience was not good (inhospitable manager and service), however I went in today with a clean slate hoping to enjoy a great meal. Upon entering the restaurant appeared to be clean, but as we went further in you could see there was a little bit of wrappers and crayons on the floor, that should NOT have been there, especially since we arrived right at opening (actually earlier as we arrived 3min to opening). Not to mention the lobster tank looked dirty (poor thing). We were seated quickly and went to the restroom to wash our hands. My mother and I noticed the sinks and countertops of the restroom were not clean, as if it maybe had not been cleaned last night (unsure). My dad also informed me the men's restroom was out of the paper towels, also odd seeing as they had just opened. We did not let that bother us, and of course went on to order and enjoy or time. Our server was very kind which was refreshing ! My mom and I ordered the American Red Snapper with Shrimp and it was a very large portion and delicious. My dad ordered the Cobb Salad w/chicken tenders and said it was very good. I also tried the new cocktail called the "Guava Groove" and it was pretty good , just a bit on the sweet side, which is to be expected. Overall, today's experience was much better than my previous. The reason for the 3 (really 3.5) stars is due to the lack of cleanliness. I would expect a restaurant that had just opened to have a freshly swept floor as well as a fully stocked and clean restrooms. I can say this experience was much better than my previous. read more

I've visited here a few times and my overall impression is the food is great. It's an attractive restaurant and the wait staff is amazing. Unfortunately it's a very chilly restaurant and I don't like cold places. It's also very noisy due to the internal acoustic. Eating on the patio is also noisy because it's right next to I45. read more

Switched my chair since it was dirty along with cutlery which looked like it was never properly cleaned. The floor around us was also not clean. Fish was good and side orders. Bread is not good quality. Service was very good. Unless they step up on keeping the place clean won't be returning. read more

I always enjoy my food here..... but today I received the absolute best service EVER! Khayman was AMAZING!!! If you come to this location make sure you sit in his section. Very attentive and funny. I love good service. Will definitely come back here to see him again! No food pics. They would look the same as everyone else's. read more

Why 3 stars? Because maybe the ribeye wasn't the ideal order. --- --- --- I woke up early and was incredibly active on this day. By the time we arrived for lunch, I had already surpassed 15,000 steps. And I'd consumed 0 calories. I was ready to deeply effect the Pappadeaux Kitchen inventory. While normally, I would have ordered a po boy in this situation, I couldn't help but go with the ribeye. My body was craving mass amounts of protein, and against my better judgment, I gave into temptation. Unfortunately, it was like ordering the seafood at a Denny's. Don't stray from the specialty is the lesson learned here. To be honest, I could buy a steak at any grocery store and definitely enjoy it more, while spending a little more than half of what I paid here. There were several rough parts of inedible fat and overall, the steak just left a lot to be desired. We ordered a shrimp cocktail for an appetizer and it was enjoyable, but I didn't love having to shovel each shrimp out of the crushed ice that was practically magnetic each time. The taste, however, was great. And lastly, the bread was primo. Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. And the whipped butter is the standard for what every restaurant should serve with their bread. Next time I will order something cajun, but I learned an expensive lesson on this trip: avoid the ribeye. read more

Great experience at Pappadeaux Woodlands. We made reservations for a Sunday afternoon lunch with friends. We were greeted and seated promptly. The hostess was very personable. Enrique our server was very attentive and knowledgeable. Our food was great. The presentation was over the top, and it was served at proper temperatures. As with most Pappadeaux it is a noisy restaurant but palletable. We really enjoyed ourselves, and recommend this restaurant highly. It is a chain that does not feel like a chain. They have a full bar area with seating and tv's. read more

As a family tradition we always go to Pappadeaux when we're all together-every 2-3 years. So last Thursday we went and what a terrible experience. Service was so bad- we had to ask several times just for water & the bread roll and found out the oyster menu was almost nonexistent!! The halibut special we all 3 ordered was so spicy it wasn't edible. Our server Austin tried his best but was only able to offer a cheesecake to counter the terrible aftertaste of the spice topping. He did share our disappointment with the oysters and recommended a restaurant further north after we were ready to leave. After spending $300, ( one bottle of wine) we all agreed we will not return to Pappadeaux again. I was so embarrassed and disappointed. And after talking with several friends I found out that we were not the only family who have been disappointed in this seafood restaurant- seems Pappadeaux has been going downhill for quite a while now. Shame.... read more

We always go to Pappadeaux on New Year's Eve and other special occasions. We went last NYE and had a great experience as we have had in the past . Now we tried to make a reservation for 12 people to celebrate a friend's 70th birthday but were told we could no longer have more than 10 people at a table due to corporate rules. We will no longer be going to this restaurant to celebrate our special times or any other times . We were not asking for a table for 20, just 12. We spend a lot of money when we go out so I guess it's their loss. read more

Two orders of Redfish Ponchatrain, and a crawfish and shrimp fondue to carry out after having oysters on the half shell and a Long Island Ice tea at the bar. All was typically impressive including the bill, over $150.00, (not including tip) which is why I only return every 5 years. No happy hour, and the LIIT was not impressive.. oysters were served with a huge piece of bread and tasty sauces. Fish with delicious sauce was superb. See ya again in 2027! read more

Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen - No happy hour - Seafood Near Me - Conroe, Texas

This restaurant is a staple for the Houston Area. The Pappa family really does do all food well and service is usually wonderful. This was not the case today sadly. It was a little bit of both the front of house and back of house. Service from our waiter was casual and inattentive. Management was lackadaisical and kitchen VERY slow. I won't get into the particulars of all that happened during my visit last night because this establishment is usually on point. The food always tastes amazing and for this, they received three stars. It would normally be four. I almost gave it two stars based solely on my visit yesterday, but after I spoke with the manager on duty, he made it right. If you are looking for quality seafood this is the place! Sorry we tried our dishes before I remembered to take pictures :/ read more

The place is packed, but we had a reservation so we could get a table. I got the mock margarita (cause im 12) and as soon as I drank it, it gave me a weird feeling in my stomach and made me feel nauseous cuz it was WAY too sour. We diluted it with water and it was STILL bad. We got our food and I was splitting the Sampler Platter with my mom. The food was good but I think I might be drunk from the mock margarita cause I thought I was dipping my food into ketchup, but when I finished my food, I realized it was cocktail sauce. 3 stars because the food was good, but they probably gave a minor (me) an alcoholic beverage. I honestly think it's harder to type this since i drank it. read more

THE GOOD! The food as usual is always outstanding. It's our Geaux-To place when I don't feel like cooking at home. Today we went for lunch to celebrate my birthday. We arrived at 1pm and they were super busy. To be expected, service was a bit slow. My husband's food arrived, mine did not. I nibbled off his plate until the waiter noticed I hadn't received my order. A few minutes later a "manager" brought my food to the table. Sorry your food was not served he said. I told him that I had been eating off my husband's plate while waiting. He said, sorry it's here now, is there anything else you need? THE BAD!! That was the most condescending apology( NOT APOLOGY), that I've ever received. After haven't eaten the entire serving of bread and a good portion of my husband's food, I had no appetite nor could I enjoy my lunch. I packed my entire plate in a to-Geaux container. We will continue to patronize but will choose our dining times, hopefully when they aren't busy as we have done in past visits. read more

I went to the restaurant after a doctors appointment. Hadn't eaten all day so I was very hungry. Had the fried shrimp and fried catfish dinner with the seniors discount. This made me very happy. I had a wonderful house salad first and it was delivered by the most gracious waiter. He was very attentive. This was followed by dinner, which was super delicious. This restaurant never fails to satisfying by providing the best meals. I will come here to eat again many many more years to come. I love this place. read more

Went back for my mom's birthday. Jacob was an attentive server. Thank you! It's much appreciated. It wasn't busy around 5 pm on a Tuesday, but I made a reservation online anyway. I'm glad they brought back the toasted hazelnut halibut. That's my favorite since I don't really eat seafood and avoid fishy fish. lol. The green beans with almonds were tasty and plentiful. I ordered a side of baked potato loaded to round out the meal. I liked that they used real bacon. It was a little candied, which I liked. Ate half of everything cause I ate half the bread appetizer! I'll have lunch for work tomorrow. My mom got a free dessert for her birthday, which she was able to take to-go instead. read more

Our waitress was really nice but someone on our party did order grilled shrimp and they gave her fried shrimp. Our waitress was prompt with the drinks, so I did appreciate that. Appetizers and food took forever to come out. I ordered the ribeye steak with mashed potatoes and green beans. The steak was so dry. I ordered it medium well but I think it was the first thing done so they left it under a heat lamp. It was really disappointing. Also, they ran out of steak knives. I had to use a butter knife which would've been fine if my steak was actually tender. I had to saw off the pieces with my butter knife. For the amount of money I had to pay for this steak, the service and the quality should've also reflected that. Again, I get stuff like this happens but doesn't leave a good impression. The mashed potatoes were the only thing I enjoyed from this meal. They were divine. If I ever come here again, it would be to just eat a plate of the mashed potatoes. read more

This place is amazing every visit. They are consistent with in all areas of providing generous portions of delicious quality seafood. Their service is 5 star in a pleasant dining area.

Our waiter was so amazing! I forgot his name, but he was young and well groomed. Also super polite and knew the menu well. I think his name started with a J. I ordered the side salad w Greek greasing and the catfish and shrimp plate. The shrimp, fries and salad were amazing! The cat fish was pretty good but definitely not the best I've ever had. Our waiter let me sample the etouffee, which was really good! My friend had the grilled salmon, sautéed spinach, alligator, and a side of fried catfish. She loved the alligator and the salmon (plus all the sauces the waiter let her try). She wasn't a huge fan of the catfish or the spinach. We both loved the bread! We'll be back! read more
