    Crawfish Etouffee
    Lea L.

    Pappadeaux never disappoints! We went for lunch. I ordered the crawfish and shrimp étouffée and hubby ordered the rainbow trout lunch special. They were delicious! The portions were also very nice. My étouffée definitely had lots of crawfish and shrimp in it. We both had to ask for boxes for our leftovers. Our waitress was very nice and attentive. We ordered a side of Caesar salad. We know their portion was big. So, I told our waitress that we would be sharing the salad. When she brought out our salad, she already split it in two smaller dishes. That made it so much easier for us! We love going to Pappadeaux, especially for lunch. Their lunch specials are definitely worth going for.

    You start your walk in and the transformation begins into another place entirely. Not simply because your not at home Dorothy but because of the well done everything to help you feel as though your in a soulful part of something special. Despite all this I am usually not going to pick this place due to the fried food. However, a college picked and he was buying so I said I'll make it happen and thankfully so did Pappadeaux. The grilled seafood skewers were incredible each piece was cooked perfectly the Shrimp, Scallops, & Salmon all perfect nothing overdone with just a bit of grill char that adds so much flavor in my opinion. Surprisingly I would be thrilled to come back for those skewers and KD our waitress was awesome! We even were surprised with a birthday dessert a slice of Key Lime Pie.

    Quick lunch meetup. Service was slow. No bueno if someone needs an efficient weekday spot so they can get back to work quickly. I was visiting from out of town so I didn't care. Food was good. Decor gives spacious Red Lobster. Lol. The mixed grill was tasty.

    Beautiful exterior and garden

    Happy Hour For the win! This place is huge, fancy and popular. I love the garden area for photo ops and the fountain. Indoors the decor is really perfect for a Louisiana Cajun Fish Vibe. Well played. Here is the best plan. Go during Happy Hour sit at the bar and order ANY of the Happy Hour items for the win! You cannot lose! They are all delicious. My favorite has been the catfish. We had two appetizers and two drinks for 26.00! It was a great value and a perfect amount of food without spending big bucks. There is always super nice people to wait on you and it is fun to talk to new people at the bar. I don't drink alcohol but they have some real fancy drinks that were fun to watch being prepared. Try it out right off the 17 for easy off and back on the freeway.

    I live right by this place for years and always pass it and never tried it !!! And I looked it up and it's a literal staple in Arizona state !!! My parents and I went here for dinner and we got mozzarella sticks and a sampler platter cause we wanted to try something different and it was all good !! I got a watermelon dream and tbh off the bat it was odd but it grew on me and was really good !! The court yard is super cute and ambience of the whole place is great !! The restaurant is also very clean for how old / long it's been open! Truly a great experience !! Server was nice too :) Will of course be back !!

    Alo our server was great! She was so sweet, engaging, and attentive!! This was my 1st time here. The menu was overwhelming because how can you not want everything? Sitting outside was very nice and private, lovely ambiance for any event as long as the weather permits Clean bathrooms and enough mirrors to make anyone wonder why are you in here for so long?! Great size for moms and accessibility needs in a single stall. Food was really good as well as the drink. I could have had a little more seasoning on my fish but still really good. The shrimp were a very nice size and the grits were nice and creamy in this Cajun combo lunch! Pop in, sit in Alo's section and enjoy a great lunch, dinner, or even a snack! Took some dirty rice to go for the snack!

    When I say it's been a minute, over 6 years since I've been to any Pappadeaux location. Stop in for lunch today to decompress and get some good food. Hade a peach side variety to start and the catfish ettoffee with Shrimp and dirty rice. Pappadeaux always hit the spot. My bartender was on point provided excellent service and providing a calming atmosphere. Love sitting at the bar to people watch and listen to the surroundings conversation. Make sure to come out between 11 AM & 3PM for lunch. You won't be disappointed.

    Seafood Tagliatelle Pasta
    Evan Y.

    Overall, the food, service, and atmosphere were all wonderful. The pricing also felt very reasonable for the quality. Definitely a place worth visiting for both small and large parties. I visited because I was searching for a steak place, and only later realized this is actually more of a seafood restaurant. The ribeye turned out truly excellent. The meat was fresh and you could really taste the quality. The steak was cooked well, nicely seared on the outside with a great crust, but not overly charred. We also ordered the seafood pasta and it was absolutely delicious. Both the sauce, chewy octopus legs and fresh seafoods. Although fries took too much of the portion of the fried fish platters and the fish was thin. What made the experience even better was the atmosphere. We had a fairly late reservation, they were still very patient and took great care of us until the end of the evening. They were also giving out bead necklaces as part of a New Orleans tradition on Tuesday, which made the experience feel festive and fun, and we felt very welcomed.

    Fried oyster platter.
    Norm R.

    As a seafood lover I always wanted to try this place, and finally got the chance to do so when my friends decided to celebrate a birthday here. The restaurant has a beautiful patio dining area and a very spacious indoor dining hall, with marina/wharf decor appropriate for a seafood restaurant. I ordered the fried oyster platter (fried oysters with french fries) and found the fried oysters to be delicious and well seasoned, but the generously portioned fries were on the dry side. My dining companions all seemed to enjoy their orders. Service was efficient and friendly. The prices are not budget friendly, but the place is worth a visit for an occasional splurge or celebratory meal.

    Food: This will be quick and easy! Loved it! This was not my first time and wont be my last time at Pappadeaux. The only problem is there is not one in California but when I run across them I make it my business to be in attendance. The food is always high quality, well seasoned and de-li-cious!! I had a house special loaded with perfectly cooked scallops, shrimp and crawfish in a creamy sauce with garlic and cheese mashed potatoes. Scallops can be had to cook as over cooking them makes them tough but these were perfect. I also had a cup of the seafood gumbo. Well, my family is part Cajun and while it was not just like home, it was quite good. So good, I will order on future trips. Ambiance: Gotta love it! Very spacious, well decorated and with a slight luxurious feeling yet a bit of New Orleans sass. Service: The service was great. Let me say this Arizona gets it right a lot for service. The food was served quickly and hot and fresh. The server was polite, helpful and professional. Parking: Plenty of parking available in the parking lot Overall: Pappadeaux features a nice menu of options from fried Cajun favorites to soups and salads and fresh fish options. The food is well seasoned and delicious with great service and good food portions. If you love a little Nawlins flavor this is for you.

    Baked rainbow trout with sauteed spinach and onions
    Hoa N.

    We had a reservation at 4:45pm and got seated within 5 minutes of arrival. The place is intimate with low lighting for the dining area. Friendly service and our server Michael was a pleasure to have for our table. Very kid and family friendly restaurant even though it's a seafood focus place. They a nice selection for kids menu. My daughter loved her salmon and almost ate the whole entree size order. The Parmesan buttered noodles was tasty and meets my youngest daughter's expectation. The oysters were delicious with the New Orleans hot sauce. I could have eaten whole dozen but shared with rest of my family. My daughters tried raw oysters for the first time and liked it. The dirty rice was flavorful and unexpectedly good tasting. The cream sauce for the Atlantic Salmon Alexander was rich and creamy that it makes good a great bread dipping sauce. The grilled shrimp was tasty. My rainbow trout was done right and it was good. Overall, a great experience was had by all and this restaurant was recommended by our Airbnb owners.

    Baked Potatoe
    John I.

    Our first time here . Our daughter just moved to Scottsdale and wanted to try it during her birthday week. We loved the vibe ...large dining room very cool outside, courtyard and inside. We went for lunch but I'm guessing it's beautiful at night. Our waitress was awesome, she explained all the menus to use and its flexibility...which is always a positive. We started with the garlic bread and my wife and daughter got cocktails. We ordered a lot of different stuff being it was our first time. Fried shrimp great! Good cocktail and tartar sauce. Cajun chicken strips were mild but good. Could have been spicier. Shrimp E'touffee with andouille was what our daughter got and she really enjoyed it. We also got the pasta Marti gras which was just ok...a little sweet. I got a huge baked potato...awesome. I also added on a soft shell crab which was delicious but lukewarm. I should have sent it back to get a hot one. But I would order it again. We were too full for dessert but they sent our daughter home with free cheesecake for her birthday. Overall a great 1st visit. This company is based out of Dallas and has a rich history with pictures and story's in the men's room. Love the backstory. Any restaurant group that has been open for about 100 years has to be doing something right. They have other brands in Texas I see .

    Ask the Community - Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen

    Do they have Happy Hour?

    Yes they do. You can go to the website and check the hours or call the restaurant.

    They had the best Crab cake " appetizer " For $35. Amazing. Worth every penny. Then they took it…

    Yes. It is

    Do they take reservations?

    .Hi, yes they do. You can do so through Google.

    Do you have food items for people allergic to seafood?

    Yes

    Have they temporarily stopped serving oysters on the half shell?

    They serve the oysters after 5:00PM and on Saturday and Sundays. By Sunday they might be all out.

    When will banana pudding come back?

    You will have to contact them directly. It was blamed on COVID and the halt in distribution of goods. Haven't been there for a few months and we have the lifted mandates so I hope it's back.

    What is price range?

    I would plan on $30 per person for lunch, at least $ 50 for dinner. Of course, depends on appetizer, cocktail, dessert!

    What's the dress code like?

    Office casual

    Is their patio dog-friendly?

    Would recommend you call the restaurant directly.

    Do they offer outdoor seating? Thanks everyone for thoroughly answering my question.

    yes they do.

    Do they know how to make an old fashioned? Do they have Guinness on tap?

    I honestly don't know but Ido know they have a full bar and would hope they have an excellent bartender to make your drink how you like it!!!

    Do they still have music on the patio on Friday nite?

    They will start offering live music on Friday's beginning sometime in October. They don't offer live music during the summer months due to the heat. This comes directly from Pappadeaux as I called them to inquire today.

    Does it have a Sunday brunch buffet like some of the others?

    No I don't believe they offer a brunch

    Is it quiet?

    Not really. We try and get a table near the back which does help.

    Is it expensive?

    It was all in perspective. As far as good seafood restaurants I think it's on par as others have commented in it is a little bit more than Red Lobster.

    Is this good for a Christmas party of 10 to 15 people?

    yes

I got the Rainbow Trout meal and let me tell you, it's wonderful, crunchy, and moist!! I couldn't get enough of this large meal!! It came with scalloped potatoes and freshly cooked green beans. This was my first time trying rainbow trout and now my expectations are high!! My boyfriend ordered the blacked swordfish on a bed of rice. So good, so fresh and juicy. The bed of rice was very flavorful. Not pictured was the Java Mud Pie, which we took home and enjoyed. The flavor was very Java with the perfect balance of ice cream, chocolate, and caramel. We couldn't get enough. Highly recommend!! 10/10

We usually get the build your own combo, with crawfish, snow crab, and a few appetizers like french fries, garlic noodles, and onion rings. I believe they have changed management recently, or in the past few years. Although the sauce remains delicious, the food quality seems to be falling, and I see that they have a few food safety violations listed on their Yelp. The garlic noodles were swimming in the watery sauce, and the Cajun fries were not tossed, just sprinkled on top. The restaurant has never been that busy when we go, and there is usually is only one server doing all the hosting, food running, and waitressing. Ours seemed to be a little stressed today, and did not refill our drinks as much as we would've preferred, and forgot things like our salt and pepper. We will probably still keep coming just for that sauce, but looks like the restaurant has a few things to work out to bring back its former glory.

If that is what you're looking for you might find yourself to be a little disappointed. This is not that kind of a joint. (no waiters, no waitresses, no tableside service, but no high prices and ridiculous exorbitant tipping expectations either). At first using the GPS, this place was hard to find until I realize we are not looking for a sit down restaurant...it's a drive up and drive-through restaurant, it's basically made for takeout dining exclusively! Don't let that fool you though because the food at this place slaps! Lol! We had a lobster roll, a Mexican salad (served on a large flour tortilla, as a burrito!) as well as the flatbread and chicken quesadillas. They were all excellent (if you're from the East Coast, you might be disappointed by the lobster roll because it's a local interpretation of what a lobster roll would be like ) and they are among our favorite things to pick up when we want to grab food and take it back home.. The prices are very affordable! In a time when you can't touch a meal for less than somewhere between 15 and $20 this place you can feed your whole family for that even their drinks are inexpensive. They actually have a lot of locations sprinkled throughout the greater phoenix area. my experience is that some locations are a little better than others in terms of customer service and efficiency but generally speaking I like the price and I like the food no matter which location I go to but invariably some are better than others.
