In the area visiting family and stopped in for a bite about an hour before closing. The restaurant was still active. For those that aren't familiar with the restaurant's concept, it centers around Gulf Coast (LA, FL, AL, MS, TX) Cuisine. The decor alone gave you a Gulf Coast vibe with a blues and RB sound track setting the mood. Outside of the main entrance is a patio/lounge area with comfortable furniture where you can unload and socialize when the weather is great. Most Pappadeaux locations have one of these. We were seated upon our walk-in entry, in the bar area which was still very active as closing time approached. From past experiences I do recommend getting a reservation though. Our server De'Ja was attentive and welcoming proving excellent service! We really appreciated it De'Ja!! Our dinner began with a glass of Sauvignon Blanc and an Old Fashioned. Next up was the Roasted Oysters which were piping hot and delicious!! Our entrees included the Seafood Cobb Salad (red onion, bleu cheese, egg, avocado, tomatoes, house vinaigrette & creamy vinaigrette) minus bacon and Wild-Caught Grouper Creole (spicy seared grouper, jumbo shrimp, buttered heirloom grits, and creole sauce (featuring okra). Both were well seasoned, tasty and served hot! Since we'd been traveling all day this meal hit the spot! On visits to the area we've tried the Norcross, Lawrenceville, and Marietta locations. I might give the nod to Marietta for better parking. read more

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. read more

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.

The service has really declined but the food is still good. They do not have happy hour at this location. The host will sit you but your waiter has to bring you the menus. We were seated for 15 minutes and asked a random server for menus before our server showed up. Food tasted great. Blackened Catfish with red beans and rice was somewhat spicy and I love it. read more

Well, hello there everybody I'm sitting at the Pappadeaux's in Atlanta, Georgia, and I need you to know we have been sitting here for like 3 1/2 hours or so. It took 30 minutes to get our drinks. They don't even serve the bread and butter, unless you ask for it at this location but the bad thing about this is that we're just now getting our food and that's ridiculous. The service here is so bad and it makes no sense that people have to wait that long. We were celebrating my granddaughter's graduation from college and we had to wait here this long to get some food as of right now they're just giving us our food. We're getting it to go because we are not happy with the service tonight and it's just not that the manager came over here and she didn't even give her name to us like you're supposed to and we're trying to tell her something about our service. The bad thing is we ordered a drink we wanted other drinks, but because the bar closed at nine, which was not told to us while we were sitting here waiting she says she cannot give us other drinks. She's saying that she will come the food but not the drinks that is fine with us, but do you know I'm from Houston Texas and I will never visit this again because it is ridiculous. What happened here tonight? read more

It was my first time at this restaurant. I was not sure what to expect, but I was impressed. I came just to grab some desserts but noticed so many awesome dishes other people ordered like fried shrimp, seafood platter and other seafood dishes. The ambiance featured a diverse group of individuals eating seafood and chatting. I came during peak hours and no issues finding parking. The lot was close to full. I will def come back. read more

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! read more

We arrived on a rainy Saturday afternoon for lunch between shopping stops. We were seated right away and Nate came over to take our drink order. We ordered some gator bites to start. We both ordered the same entree. Mine with fried catfish, my companion went with blackened. Portions are generous, the food very tasty and well seasoned. We passed on dessert but overall a great meal. Service was very efficient and Nate checked on us often. Beautiful dining room and lots of seating areas. They also have spaces to accommodate large parties and private events. read more

Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen - Catfish With Red Beans & Rice. This is the lunch portion!! - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Norcross, Georgia

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! read more

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! read more

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! read more

I frequent the Windy Hill location at least twice a month. Tried this location while out and about shopping on that side of town. Was able to make a reservation on this day, a Saturday.... Super impressed. Usually that is not an option for Windy Hill. It wasn't packed so we were stayed intensively and early. The restaurant was clean and organized. Our server was, Britney H, what a great experience. She was personable, friendly, attentive and took amazing care of us. We had salads for starters and then I did states soft shelled crabs with spinach. I'm Keto so Britney gave me choices to stay on plan. Amazing service hands down.

Turns out Pappadeaux is THE spot! Huge space, but they manage to get people in and out at such fast pace! Had to check it out when I was there on business. My friend suggested several places and I'm glad we ended up coming here. We were seated right away and started with the Calamari. Some of the best fried calamari I've ever had. Batter was full of flavor and delicious dipping sauces. My main was the Seafood Pasta. Every bite was full of flavor. Cooked to perfection. Quite a large serving as well. Service was fast and friendly. Huge fan! Can't wait to try more dishes from their menu. ATL here I come! read more

Now we had been happy enough to get it in Houston after such a horrible day in March, now we got to have it in Georgia too. Our server was incredibly friendly and calm for such a busy Sunday night. Not too many tables were vacant. Anyway, it was the tableside Greek salad with a huge plate of garlic bread to start. The one knock is our server gave us the choice of plan bread or garlic bread so he should have told us we'd get charge extra for the garlic bread. Oh well. It was still buttery and garlicky and thick and divine. For my entree, I had the seared Texas Redfish Ponchartrain with grilled shrimp, lump crabmeat, and brown butter sauce with a side of dirty rice. Freaking amazing. Mom had the mixed seafood grill and they gave us an extra skewer of the salmon, scallop, shrimp, pepper, onion, and mushroom. Fantastic. And it's cool she gets the lunch rate all day long, being that she is a senior citizen. Sure it's a little bit pricey, but the food is just remarkable. read more

There probably isn't much to say about Pappadeaux that hasn't already been said. I thoroughly enjoyed the meal I had here last week so I wanted to make sure I provided a review about my positive experience. My friend had her birthday dinner here, it was a table of 5 and we had Cameron as our waiter. He was pleasant and provided good service. I appreciate that he shared a lighter so we could light the birthday candles on the cupcakes. I typically don't dine at franchise restaurants, I try to support small businesses so although I have dined here before, it is not my go to seafood restaurant. The restaurant also provided a free dessert to my friend for her birthday and did not charge a fee for her brining in cupcakes. Love it! I had the grouper and crab dinner and substituted the carrots with broccolini $47.95 and had a watermelon mint lemonade for $6.25. The lemonade does not include free refills, it's like a $1.25 or something for refills which was okay with me because I was only planning on drinking one glass. Honestly, I wasn't expecting much from the entrée but I was blown away by how moist and packed full of flavor the grouper was.....SO GOOD!! I also had a large serving of broccolini and had to take most of it to go and enjoyed it as leftovers. The sauce was so yummy! It was the perfect meal and very filling, there was no need for an appetizer. Parking is free and there are many spots in the front and back. The entrance off of Jimmy Carter can be a little tricky to enter but don't worry if you miss it, turn right on the next street and you can pull into the plaza and drive over to the restaurant. I also recommend this way for exiting if you're planning traveling on 85 south. read more

Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen - Grouper with lump crab and shrimp and a side of broccolini - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Norcross, Georgia

It's been years since I was last here. It still looks the same but they've changed and shortened the menu a lot. A little something for everyone but not too much. Dinner was the soft shell crab (2), and the Oscar style filet mignon. The soft shell crabs got two thumbs up from the lady. The dirty rice is a MUST have. Thank me later. The filet mignon was done to perfection well done but sill soft and juicy. They could've put more than two little pieces of crab on that "Oscar Style" for the price but all and all a great dinner. The "Lost Island" and "Swamp Thing" are both great drinks, also the watermelon mint lemonade was ok as well. Free Parking ENJOY read more

This was my first time visiting the restaurant. It was very busy, so of course there was a wait. However, I will say that our waiter was very nice. Once he finally came to our table. He was very attentive. I ordered a cup of seafood, gumbo, two of the crab, stuffed shrimp, and the Chilean Seabass meal. The Chilean Seabass itself was very delicious. I did not like the Parmesan couscous that came with it. It tasted like flour. Also, the butter crawfish was not very good either but again the fish by itself delicious. The crab stuffed shrimp were also good as well. So overall, I did enjoy the meal and would visit again. read more

I thought this was a great place to dine! It would be a great spot for a date night. The waitress was really nice and explained things to me since I have never eaten here! She let me know that if you see something on the menu that says raw-they can fry it. Which that came in handy for my friend who ordered the Po'Boy with oysters (he really wanted fried oysters and not raw) I got the Ginger Grilled Salmon and it was delicious. It came with some rice, green beans, and shrimp. Serving size is pretty big here so I would saying pricing is pretty spot on for what you get. We also got the gator for appetizers and I loooove fried gator. It tasted amazing. I would definitely come back! read more

Pappadeauxs is the closest restaurant to a New Orleans flare. I've eaten a to-go plate, but I would love to dine in there.

We tried the stuffed crab combo and the oyster combo, swapping fries for red beans and rice -- both fresh and delicious.

Love this place ..particularly this location because I always stop here on my way back home from my Atlanta visits. Food is always hot fresh and timely. The service my last visit was TERRIBLE. I seen my Waitress maybe twice. She spent majority of her time talking to some guest that had already eaten and were basically just sitting there. Didn't come check to see if I needed anything. I seen her when she took my order and brought my check which I had to flag her down...then the manager had to come get my check because she never came back. Service highly disappointing but food was good as always. Train that staff up management. read more

I had a wonderful time at Pappadeaux. I went with my family to celebrate my nieces birthday. It was my first time. I ordered the crab dip . Oh my gosh. It was so good. Nice and creamy and paired with the bread. Had so much flavor. For my main dish I ordered the shrimp etouffee . It was really good and rich in flavor. I will say I think the dish was a bit too hardy for my liking but overall paired well with the rice. The server was super kind. This place really gives you Louisiana cuisine .

Here's a reworded Yelp review: --- Let me start by saying this isn't my first time at Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen--in fact, I'm a regular. The food here is consistently excellent, and the restaurant itself is always clean, with tidy restrooms. However, my experience this time wasn't quite up to their usual standards. Our server, Yaz, was very pleasant, but service felt a bit inattentive. We found ourselves waiting longer than usual for drink refills, the bill, and general follow-up. While this won't stop me from coming back (because the food is truly that good), I thought it was worth mentioning that service could have been a bit more attentive this visit. Looking forward to my next visit and hoping for the level of service I'm used to! read more
