Great place to have seafood! Portions are generous but very delicious! Worth the visit!

We were seated immediately, but the 2 person booths in the bar area are seriously TOO SMALL. Like literally 2 drinks, the bread, 2 small plates & the napkins (w/ utensils) and menus took up the ENTIRE table. I went to wash my hands before sitting. The Hubby already had water when I returned to the table. If the server was notified there were TWO ppl dining, and there were TWO menus on the table, why would you bring ONE water? The Hubby & I had to share a water for almost 12 minutes! Our server was OBVIOUSLY the bartender (unknown to us) bc EVERYONE at the bar (even the ones who sat down AFTER we arrived) received their bar drinks before I received my water...made by our server. We finally ordered drinks, and our server asked "You guys wanna order food or just the drinks"? I replied "We'd like some appetizers first" which was met with "oh you want appetizers"....uuhhhmmm yeah. The salad & boudin came out in a fair amount of time; both were good, but for me the blackened boudin was salty. We finished our appetizers and waited, and waited, and waited. FINALLY, our server came back from behind the bar and we ordered an entree; fried fish & fries. It was good. Waited, waited, and waited some more, and finally we were brought the check, but it was placed on our table pretty much with the server's back turned to us bc she was focused on the patrons at the bar! And get this...it took her less than 5 minutes to charge our CC and bring us the receipt! FYP Pappadeaux's, your bartenders should be just that. If they must be servers, they should only focus on the patrons seated directly AT THE BAR! The booths/tables in the bar area need their own servers, who's NOT the bartender. read more

The service was good. Food tasted okay but was a bit overpriced. The reason for my bad review is bc I got horrible food poisoning. I have been violently vomiting since I got home and feel absolutely horrible. Not how I had hoped to finish valentine's day. read more

I love Pappadeaux because they have a great selection and it's always so fresh. I enjoy the specials and awesome drinks they offer. The service is always great and no matter what location I've visited I've had a great experience. Pappadeaux is nicely decorated and visually pleasing. I don't usually like chain restaurants but Pappadeaux is the exception. read more

I grew up going to Pappadeaux, so I'm so sad they don't serve the cheese oysters anymore. That was the only reason I would come (besides the bread). There's still good reason to come. This is always a fun place to come to eat for small celebrations. The ambiance is too great to pass up. Unfortunately, I was disappointed with the staff due to issues with a reservation. My family and I reserved a table for a birthday dinner. We got there on time and they gave our table to someone else. I understand it was busy, but that is unacceptable. We ended up having a table opened for us. I got the seafood fondue and it was fantastic. I forgot how good it was! I decided to try their crab cakes and I felt indifferent about it. The crab cakes taste "tangy" to say the least. A very odd taste, but I finished most of my plate. I would return if I was invited, but the food isn't as good as it used to be. read more

This was a treat for me. I have to say I was more em teased with Pappadeaux this time compared to the two other locations I've eaten at. We shared an order of the allegation bites which were seasoned and cooked very well. Then I ordered the lunch size blackened catfish with red beans and rice. When the plate came out I asked the server if he gave me the lunch serving and he said yep that's the lunch portion. It was huge! The fish could have been cooked a little better but overall not bad. But the red beans and rice are on a slap your mama level. I could just eat those! The server was nice but it did take a long time to get our meal. The location was packed and this location. Is very similar to the other locations I have been too. They have friendly ambiance with plenty of space. I recommend stopping by if you want some good food for a decent price. read more

Great place for seafood and some steak. Enjoyed the shrimp and fries. Atmosphere was a little noisy, but overall a very good dining experience. read more

Took my wife for her birthday dinner. Food was very good. She had a seafood tagliatelle pasta dish which she really liked. Large shrimp, very well cooked octopus and crawfish tails in sauce. Large portion which she finished off for lunch the next day. I had the 3 fried soft crab dinner, it was good but not exceptional. 3 medium sized crabs breaded and cooked well. In their defense I'm a Marylander born and breed and have had some of the best soft crabs in the world. Service was excellent. Our waiter checked in on us often, wished my wife a happy birthday and brought her a fantastic brownie as a birthday gift. Food was served promptly. The cocktails we ordered were excellent. Dinner for two with a cocktail each came to $135 before tip. For us, that's special occasion type dinner. This place fits that bill. We will be back, maybe for our anniversary. read more

I love coming here. I tend to order the same thing because It is that good. I order the redfish. I also enjoy their side salads and if you love blu cheese dressing like I do then you will enjoy that salad even more. They have the cornbread croutons. Try the shrimp cocktail, delicious! If you enjoy seafood then this is a go to spot! read more

Tried to poison my own children with water and my sons salad had 5 worms beware of the Cesar salad never comeing again 0 stars

We were ordering oysters on the half shell and I asked if they had other oysters except Gulf oysters which they did at the same price. I then asked about the fruits de la mar for 32.00. Although there was no stipulation on the menu , Ruben the manager, said I could Not have the northern oysters on the plate because the plate came with gulf oysters still no stipulation on the menu. I m allergic to gulf oysters and since there is nothing on the menu to state the difference I feel Reuben did not adequately promote your restaurant. We left and did not order and we don't want to return. read more

We ordered fried calamari for the table. It was fantastic one of the best I have had in a long time. I ordered the Red fish special and a cesar salad Elaine had shrimp and scallops over pasta.

The Pappas restaurants are all well run. Service is almost always great and the food is fantastic.

This is my third time at this location & I've never had any issues but after today I'm not sure I would visit this location again. I was dining with my SO today. When we first arrived they had no power ( not their fault) so we did a little shopping in the area until their power was turned on. We got to the restaurant and I asked to be seated in a booth by the bar. The hostess was very kind and escorted us to our table & introduced us to our server Kevin J. This is where everything went downhill. He was very flippant from the beginning. We place our drink orders and I immediately told my SO we should have asked for a different server. Long story short, I would not call what he provided us service. He was not attentive at all. He refilled our drinks once and when he did he asked for my SO's drinking glass and didn't acknowledge mine. We both had sweet tea so that made no sense. When he stopped by to refresh our drinks he basically poured tea from another glass onto our drinks and left said glass on our table. Mind blown! We were never asked if our meal was okay, if we needed anything, if we needed to-go boxes or wanted dessert. I had to stop him and ask for small plates and more tartar sauce, he came back with his dirty thumb on the plate and just dropped them down and walked off. News flash Kevin, when handling plates hold them from the bottom to avoid putting your hands on the surface that people have to eat off of. Same with drinks, hold the glass around the middle not the rim. This is basic cleanliness. I have never been to a restaurant and the server not offer dessert or our check! He walked by our table 3 times and didn't even acknowledge us. $135 for a meal and I had to get up and ask the hostess for our check. Since he never bothered to clear any dishes from our table, when we did get our check he had to remove the bread & butter dish so my SO could sign the receipt. That's beyond pathetic. Unacceptable after spending $135 on a meal. He also had the nerve to circle the tip amounts and write thank you on the receipt as if he deserved anything for suck poor service. I left a $10 tip. My SO wanted to leave nothing but that didn't sit right with me. The positives: My drink from the bar and the food was delicious. I loved the catfish. I wish I would've asked for no salt on the French fries but other than that it was great. Overall, I feel like I wasted over $100 dollars. Kevin J, the older bald guy should probably re-think being in the service industry. read more

If you go at Lunchtime Allen the server is awesome and used to be in a band and loves good music and just a pleasant man who really knows service. We love to eat here and the salads to start with the scrumptious bread and butter always fills me up and I have to bring home my food lol. We shared the cheesecake one night and omg it was too good I tried to stop eating it as I was so full but dang it I ate it lol. The food is great and we love to take friends and family as they enjoy it as well. read more

You will never have a bad experience at this location as far as food quality. The oversight and quality at the hostess stand has left a little to be desired my last two visits. They are not very friendly and need coaching on their soft skills. Cross the parking lot to The Pappasito's...hard to believe it is the same organization. They oversee their host/ hostess stand so much better. read more

I've only been here a handful of times but it wasn't enough to bring me back. My experiences was of a mostly large noisy dining room with overly spicy and buttered food, but on this visit it all changed. We were initially given a table which faced a group of people sitting to get a table! Ugh, no way! Sorry, but I'll take another table. Thankfully they honored my request cheerfully. My anxiety could not handle sitting for dinner while a group of people watch me eat. Next, friendly waiter and delicious food and vino. Crab cake was a winner and so was the fondue! I shared the shrimp étouffée with grits meal with Mr. G and it was amazing every bite was heaven. Other family dishes were pasta and chicken which they gladly made for my selective eater and they even replaced my awful sweet mojito with a red blend. Overall, fabulous dinner and we will be back:) read more

Our annual New Years Day tradition didn't disappoint. Our waiter was impressed to hear it was a tradition. The hot bread is always a great start to the meal. I have to pace myself or bread will be my entire meal I had the new Wild Caught Costa Rican Mahi Mahi & lemon Chile crab with lemon butter sauce and italian barley salad. Mmm mm mm. I really enjoyed the fresh herbs in the salad. Hubby had the Atlantic Salmon Alexander with dirty rice. It was blackened with just the right amount of spiciness. I had to have a bite ya know. Both were delicious. No matter how tired I am on New Years Day, I always look forward to a great meal at Pappadeaux! read more

Tried Papadeaux last night. We went last week but too packed so we went back tonight with reservation. Our service took a while but understandable since they're busy. Seems to be the busiest restaurant we've been to since Covid. I had Grilled Tilapia with lump crab and shrimp and dirty rice instead of green beans. Also my meal has some crab shell on it. If I wasn't careful, I might've chewed on it. I like salty but this seems to be too salty for me. My son had fried shrimp and french fries and he said he likes it be because it's salty especially the fries lol. Also my son had a crab shell on it his meal although he didn't order crab. My daughter had chicken tenders since she's not a fan of seafood. She said it was ok, I mean who orders chicken tenders in a seafood restaurant lol. My husband had fried shrimp (he said it was bland) and fries (I tried and it's also salty) and he wasn't a fan (he's not a seafood lover too so he said the things that he do for me ). We went here because I've been craving seafood and saw good reviews on it. Overall we wouldn't come back. Such an expensive place for a mediocre food. read more

Came here to celebrate my friends 30th birthday on a Thursday. There were 6 of us and we had a reservation but still had to wait about 20 minutes before we were seated. The table they took us to had been empty since we arrived but the service after was superb. Our server was very knowledgeable about the menu and able to help me pick an entrée around my food allergies. For appetizers we got the calamari, crab dip and boudin. Eveything was well liked around the table and then about 20 minutes later our meals came out. There were some slight errors in the food that came out but our server told us to keep it and he would go get the correct items. He got us most of the items we ordered but the birthday boy never got his gumbo. Our server apologized as for a Thursday it was inordinarily busy. He comped him a dessert. Overall we all would go back, great food and great service. read more

My very first live main lobster and it did not disappoint! Wow Pappadeaux!! It was served with spaghetti squash which perfectly complimented the dish. The market price was $31 per pound and this guy was a 2 lb'der, so not a bad price at all. Who knew the claws were juicier than the tail and the melted butter dish, delish!! Loved it! read more

Updated review: 08.01.2021 [Sunday] We came here 2 days before and were looking forward to raw oysters but they said they didn't have them available before 5 PM except on weekends. We called ahead of time to ask if they had them available and we were told they did. We made a reservation and made it out with my boyfriend's grandparents, sat down at the table, and were then told that they did not have any oysters. We ended up leaving due to grandparents really looking forward to oysters. Disappointed with the lack of communication. Unfortunately, the grandparents have been coming here for years and no longer wish to return after this being the 3rd time of no oysters. 07.30.2021 [Friday] Great food, was unable to get oysters though since they didn't serve till after 5 due to understaffing. Food and service otherwise was amazing. The Fried Alligator was good and so was the crawfish ettouffe [great portion of crawfish] read more

What's not to like about the food? Although they were extremely busy day still took good care of us! We sat at the bar and got to see the hustle and bustle of the restaurant. Me being a foodie this is one of the favorite my most favorite places to sit is at the bar. . I want to take a minute and come in with the manager on duty that night I did not catch her name but she had short brown hair. She's shucked oysters the whole time we had dinner I thought that was wonderful to see someone so committed to being a team player even though there in management . We started off with some drinks I had a martini with blue cheese stuffed olives which are usually don't ask for because it's a pain in the butt to take the olive and stuff the blue cheese. I asked for a side of blue cheese with the martini the Bartender told me that she could stuff the olives for me and I said you're really busy I can do it and she said no I insist with no sort of passive aggressive undertone which I also find amazing! I had the special that night which was red fish with crabmeat on top and cheeseRisotto it was enough food to feed a horse! And so satisfying to my tastebuds. We definitely enjoyed ourselves and will be back soon. read more
