Creme Brulee
Nicole S.

Went here with for a company dinner. It was okay. Cheesesticks were a win for appetizers, large portions & plenty on each serving that came out. The cesar salad was overly drenched in dressing, the dressing is good but it was a just alot. We do appreciate that there are alternative options offered not within the menu we had set, I think someone mentioned there was an alfredo & maybe another fish such as salmon? I can't remember all the reasons why we asked but I know one reason was because they said they could not cater to the individual steak preferences in large groups, made sense in an efficiency way when they explained it. What they didn't tell us after some chose not order steak for that very reason, was that after anyone who ordered steak & cut into it, they could back to cook it longer based on each individual's preference. I'm allergic to shrimp, I ordered the steak with vegetables. I did inform the waiter that I had a shrimp allergy, he was gracious & asked me a few questions to help better address my food preparation. A few minutes later another staff member, maybe a manager, comes in & thanks us for choosing there restaurant. Then he asks who has the allergy & asks the same questions the waiter asked me. It just put me on the spotlight that I (nor several of my coworkers) felt was necessary. It wasn't embarrassing but more annoying seeing how our waiter had been thorough, or come to me one on one just to reconfirm if needed. I felt bad for my coworkers because they now had genuine concern I might be exposed to something since many had shrimp dishes. I will say that I did enjoy the steak & asparagus. Dessert was delicious, a great creme brulee & the cheesecake slices were generous! Also, there were larger amounts of time between when the first person got their salad or soup to when the last person received theirs, same situation with the entrées. In both phases they basically asked who was missing what & then asked what they had. Refills & drinks, the same. Maybe they were short handed but if they were, we wished they would've communicated that so we could anticipate any timing issues. Aside from the allergy thing, the staff tending to us were very polite. Maybe it's more of a training issue higher up because they seemed to be doing their best, but right now it's a miss at this location.

Pappadeaux platter

The food was ok. Not the best but not the worst. Me and my sister ordered the Pappadeaux platter which was suppose to have more shrimp and crawfish tails it definitely didn't have more shrimp as my boyfriend order the seafood platter and there was the same amount of shrimp. Also there were no crawfish on our platters. We notified the waiter who then bought us out plates of like warm crawfish. The restaurant was nice but unable to accommodate our group of 12. So we sat at 2 tables very far apart. The fish on our platters were fried well but had no flavor. The shrimp and crawfish fondue was really good though. 1seafood platter 1 Pappadeaux platter 1 shrimo and crawfish fondue and 2 Arnold palmers came to $121 and change. We left a $21 dollar tip as well bringing the total to $142 and some change.

First timer here...and everyone who mentioned this place said they loved it, so I came in having high expectations. As we entered the hostess told us to let the server know if we are celebrating something...which was a little weird to me but I realized that this was a place to go for celebrations as there were quite a few "parties"...funny enough while we did have an occasion we didn't get any special seating or anything. Our server told us they do that so the manager can decide if they want to do something special. Spoiler alert...nothing happened. He was friendly and did everything as expected. It was on the busier side which made the dining room was a little loud, and crowded however it didn't effect how long the whole process took. We were able to order and get our food rather quickly, and everything was fresh and tasted good and we were satisfied with the portion sizes. It was on the pricer end...not ideal if you are looking for something casual. But if you wanted to have a fancy dinner that's not super expensive this would be a good spot.

We had amazing service. Our meal was perfectly prepared. The restaurant is lovely with a beautiful patio area.

Today we visited Pappadeaux yet again. This time it was for Restaurant Week. Food was great as usual. The special fixed price menu is a great deal. I wanted to acknowledge the great service of our waiter, a young man named Simon. He was a very knowledgeable, nice, sharp, good personality young man. Seek him out. He will take care of you.

Crawfish platter
Bonnie W.

Service was good. Sat in a little booth at the bar with a great view of the restaurant. Food here is very good, I've been many times. This time, I apparently ordered goo? The manchego mashed potatoes were a giant blob on the plate surrounded by butter. The fish was very small portion, 4oz. I would not get this again and wouls not recommended this particular dish. Visually unappealing. I will be back and will get something better next time

Dinner Salad
Christina Y.

Great local chain with a wide variety of seafood options! The salad had a honey bacon which was interesting and paired well with the croutons. The oysters were large an tasty but I'd love a little more butter or sauce to dip in like New Orleans. The salmon, shrimp and scallops were delicious and a huge portion.

I came here with my family to celebrate my mother-in-law's birthday, and everything was wonderful! The food was really good, and our server did an amazing job--she stayed on top of everything the entire night. The music added to the vibe, with a great playlist that made the atmosphere even better. For an appetizer, I had the fried calamari and octopus which was perfectly crunchy and full of flavor. I ordered the seafood pasta for my main dish--it was delicious! My husband had the salmon with rice and a side of beans, and he said it was really good as well. The drinks were tasty too! Overall, I'll definitely be back. I love southern food--it's so comforting, and this spot did it right.

Pappadeaux Fondue!!!! Blacked fish with Yvette or Alexander sauce...to die for! We keep trying others but nothing compares to Pappeadeaux! Worth every penny!

We have always enjoyed this place, we started coming here over a decade ago for our anniversary. The Salmon Evette, which is no longer on the menu, is really good, and they can still make it today. The prices are going up but the portions are still large. One plate is enough to fill the stomachs of both my wife and myself. We came for our anniversary tonight and the food didn't disappoint. The cheesecake at the end was large as well and very good. The waiter was special and very nice. Only drawback today was being seated right at the opening of the kitchen. It was a buy spot. It was busy enough, we were glad to be seated so quickly on this night. It wasn't too late, it was dark out. The ambience is a mix of romantic darkness with candles on the table mixed with a fish market setting. It's a neat combination. We had a good dinner. Very happy.

Will they accommodate a low sodium diet?

In no special way. Most of the food is prepped and salted. They have a gluten free menu.

Do they take reservations? And are they needed?

They do -

Anything here for non seafood eaters? I'm asking because my bf is allergic

It depends on the allergy and it's severity. Someone with an anaphylactic allergy to shellfish should stay away from places full of their allergen.

When we entered the establishment, I looked around and saw not one Black/African-American person. The amount of the minorities I could count on my hand. I am originally from the Arlington/Grand Prairie area, a bit of a melting pot, so I rarely experience being the only Black person in the room. Upon entering, I instantly felt a bit uncomfortable. Nonetheless we were seated at a corner booth right next to a group of four. Although I felt uncomfortable, I could see that my best friend (white) still wanted to dine there, even after I pointed out that we weren't in the most formal attire (among other reasons). I decided to suck up my grievances and give the food a try. Don't get me wrong, the meal was great, if I looked past the slight fear of something in it. I applaud the waiter for giving us the best service, he did a great job. Now, here's the kicker. As we were eating our food, two older white ladies arrive, and they are seated right next to us, right next to me. One of the ladies goes back and forth with the hostess about the location of the seating. I didn't want to be nosy, so I wasn't exactly listening to their dialogue. Eventually, instead of right next to me, they were seated at a different table, and served. The next group of people, white as well, were then seated a couple of seats away from us. This is all really just speculation. As we left the restaurant, I saw two Black people. A runner, and a patron. Both lighter than a paper bag. Overall the waiter and the food were both exceptionally excellent, however, I do not see myself coming back in the near future.

With that being said, it's good for large parties. The ambiance felt light, airy and modern. We came here for mom's birthday because she loves seafood and I heard good things about this place so we decided to try it out. They don't take reservations, but when we got there, we got seated almost immediately. We passed by the long bar in the front and were seated in the back area where they had another smaller bar. We ordered calamari because we always have to have calamari at a seafood spot. It was delicious. It had a little kick to it. I had seafood enchiladas. It was flavorful and my plate was completely clean. I didn't try my parents or husband's food, but they ordered the Santa Fe tacos, fried catfish tropical style with fried okra, and grilled redfish with sautéed spinach. For dessert, we had the croissant bread pudding. Mmmm that was decadent! I'm glad we all shared that. Totally recommend if you're a seafood lover. They have so many items on the menu to choose from. On the menu, you can also choose the type of fish you want, how you want it prepared, and the sides for that particular plate, which is what my mom and husband did with their catfish tropical style with fried okra and the redfish with the sautéed spinach. There are 7 types of fish to choose from and 5 ways it can be prepared, plus 8 regular sides and 5 premium sides. If I'm doing my math right, that means 455 possible plates. Incredible!
