    Ceasar salad
    Jessica P.

    The lunch portion Cesar salad was HUGE!!! so come with an appetite or be ready to share with someone else or simply have it for leftovers. The salad had great flavor and I ordered the chicken breast with it. Chicken had a grill flavor to it, thing overpowering but I squeezed the lime juice over it and it gave the salad a different citrusy flavor perfect for summer

    Shrimp Po-Boy! The best!

    We love Pappas Seafood House in Humble, Tx! The service is ALWAYS perfect, and we love the atmosphere of the fun coastal vibe! If you are craving Crawfish, this is your place! And of course the fried Shrimp is really great too! Well, everything on the menu is too! Ha! Give them a try if you haven't. It will be one of your favorites!

    After frequenting this location for a few years now, I can say it's a solid spot for some tasty gulf seafood. After trying more of the menu, I can safely say I look forward to every visit here. It's a pretty popular spot and can fill up quickly during prime time on the weekends, but they offer options online like reservations or getting on the waitlist. One of my favorite items to order here is the rainbow trout with the tasty lemon butter sauce. It comes with two large fillets of fish, four shrimp, and a side of green beans, which I swap out for broccolini. The green beans are not great. I always have enough fish for leftovers for another meal. Really all the fish items are delicious! The house made tartar sauce here is also the bomb and pairs nicely with the dried seafood. Make sure to ask for extra! Of course the off menu crab fingers are a hit as well as the shrimp and crab cobb salad for a healthier option! Service can be hit or miss, but the food is always satisfying!

    I took my husband for a birthday lunch on Tuesday. We got there right around lunch peak time at noon. The restaurant was packed, but we got seated right away. We were seated at a booth directly under the ac vent. It was so cold luckily we had jackets in our car. We informed our server Erich because we didn't want our food to get cold and he informed management. The management team were so nice and accommodating and turned the ac up for us. The service and food were good. I like that they offer lunch specials so you can get a good deal. It is limited on the lunch menu. We ordered the Mississippi Catfish and Shrimp Etoufee and Grouper. The portions, flavor, and fish were cooked perfect.

    wild caught grouper, shrimps, crab lumps -- incredible dish!!!!!!!!

    I've been meaning to visit Pappas Seafood House for some time. I won't add to what others are saying -- the service and food are fantastic here. You will NOT leave hungry. For appetizers we started with the Seafood Cocktail: jumbo lump crab, octopus, chilled shrimp, avocado, jalapeño, black pepper crackers | 21.95. SO good. Super fresh, cold, perfect way to start. Next we tried the Baked Jumbo Lump Crab Cake ($33.95) and the Brie & Jumbo Lump Crab Spinach Dip (22.95). Both were lick the plate delicious. For mains, I selected the Wild-Caught Grouper & Jumbo Crab Seared grouper, shrimp, jumbo lump crab, lemon chile butter, Parmesan fregola (44.95). It's a phenomenal dish -- the grouper was prepared perfectly. It's a decadent dish -- incredible. Soak up that butter with the fresh french bread that's served at the table. I couldn't even think of ordering dessert but my colleagues seemed to enjoy many of the delicious dessert offerings. I can't wait to come back to Pappas on my next trip to Houston. Big thumbs up.

    LaMecia M.

    Staff: Everyone was extremely friendly. I think anyone who walked past our table spoke or checked in on us. Our waiter was DeMario and he had a great personality and attention to detail. Before the arrived Sultan showed incredible teamwork bu getting our drinks and order started. We were seated by Christian who started the entire experience off on a good note. Food: Delicious! We made it just before the lunch menu was over. I was able to get fish and shrimp etouffee. They were both seasoned well and I had enough for two servings. Ambience - nice space, it was extremely busy but it didn't feel too loud. We were able to have a nice conversation without shouting or overhearing others. Overall: popular place where you get great food and good service.

    Family dinner night
    Aleshia J.

    This was a Tuesday evening dinner with my family. Everything was pretty seamless. There was no wait. The hostess greeted us and went to seat us but I did not want to sit in the bar area and it was not a problem at all. He immediately gave us a table in the dining area. We waited a bit for our waiter but another waiter came over to greet us and take our drink order. Our waiter came over shortly after... he was very attentive throughout. I believe his name is Dan or maybe Don. I ordered grilled shrimp, a baked potato and a salad. I asked for them not to put the normal seasoning on the shrimp as I am watching my sodium intake and it came out perfectly. Also ordered all my toppings on the side for the baked potato... and this was executed great! Pappas Seafood House is in our rotation of restaurants, so we eat here often and it's pretty much solid. Great visit.

    The food was amazing. I had Mississippi catfish with shrimp and crawfish étouffé. Just sat at the bar as I was by myself but the service there was outstanding.

    The food is excellent. The inside vibe is a lot better than their outside appearance. Good service. The menu is extensive with many options and not shy in the drinks either. Lunch or dinner, you won't be disappointed.

    Joy L.

    Patty gave us great service. Like all of Pappas' restaurants, the decor is always tastefully done. Their Lemon Drop Martini was right on point as was hubby's Smoked Old Fashion. We had Grill oysters as our appetizer. They were good, but I prefer Oysters on the Half Shell. The Shrimp Gumbo was very good; hubby had Blackened Catfish with Shrimp that he also liked. Pappas via Patty gifted us with Bread Pudding for our wedding anniversary. Thank you Patty.

    Weary travelers saved by great service and delicious food!

    HIGHLY RECOMMEND: We landed at Pappa's by accident when our departing flights got canceled at IAH. *due to the 3/17/2026 snopacolypse up north. We rolled up to the restaurant with all of our luggage. We needed to sit down, grab a drink, and figure out new flights to get us back to Wisconsin. To our delight, the hostess sat us immediately. Our waitress was kind and gave us plenty of space and time to get our new flights booked. Then we ordered food which was oysters on the half shell and the catfish platter. Holy smokes it was amazing! Then to wrap it all up the Manager came over and educated us on the area as we couldn't fly out for two more days. It was such a relief to have so much kindness, great service, and delicious food during such a stressful time. Thank you!!!!

    Rainbow Trout & Shrimp
    Bill R.

    If you're a fan of the Pappas-themed restaurants throughout Houston and other Texas cities, Pappas Seafood won't disappoint. It has their signature passion for great service and excellent food. Here the emphasis is on seafood with a cajun flair. Shrimp cocktail was very good, but presentation could use some attention to detail. Crab gumbo was very good and flavorful but there were several bites of shell left in there. The fish entrees were excellent. We had snapper and the rainbow trout with shrimp and crab. Ambiance is casual, open and airy. Served was outstanding: big shout out to Julian who was an absolute rock star taking care of us. I'd come back.

Our server Adolfo was very attentive and knew the menu well. He checked on us multiple times even though he had a lot of tables. The bar is back up and running not sure if it's a full bar as I just had beer. My son loved that he could write on the table and walls as it's encouraged here. We loved reading all the notes and pictures past patrons left. Overall 9/10

As we walked in, we were immediately greeted by Eric and seated. He sat us in a private cozy nook but we asked to move to the booths with tv viewing access. Eric took the time to explain the menu and offered his suggestions. He greeted and checked on everyone. As he spoke to people, he would thank them for coming back and converse as if he was speaking to old friends. The customer service was superb. My husband ordered a michelada with Michelob Ultra. He said it was a few degrees shy of having ice in it, who doesn't love a cold beer! For dinner we ordered the gumbo with sausage, red beans and rice, and the twin lobster rolls. The gumbo had a dark roux. It was decent but the spice level was a bit much for me. After about four bites, my husband took over. He enjoyed it. Next was the red beans and rice with sausage. The flavor was good. My only complaint was the sausage pieces were too big for one bite. Lastly was the twin lobster rolls with Cajun fries. The fries were crispy and I'd compare them to Charlie's. The roll had generous portions of delicious lobster. We chose a hot roll but they do serve it cold if you prefer. The basket is served with a 2 oz helping of melted butter for you to drizzle on your rolls. The flat top rolls were buttery, soft, and grilled to perfection. Overall, we enjoyed them but they were missing just a touch of something, maybe a spice, I can't pinpoint it. I would definitely get them again though! The food was all hot and fresh. I overheard Eric telling another customer they don't have heat lamps and everything is brought out as soon as it comes off the stove. The location is in the center of booming shopping centers. This is a great lunch or dinner spot that welcomes casual family friendly dining. I'm glad we returned, we will be back.

The decor immediately gives you that laid-back seafood spot vibe with the fishing nets and a nautical stuff hanging from the ceiling. We started with the fried calamari, which was really good and cooked just right. Then we decided to go all in and ordered the Whale Shark Platter. And yeah the name should've been our warning. This thing came loaded with seafood-stuffed crab balls, fried shrimp, a seafood-stuffed shrimp, catfish, oysters, hushpuppies, fries and coleslaw. Definitely more than enough food, and we pretty much sampled a little bit of everything. Everything was hot, crispy and seasoned well. The service was awesome too. Friendly, attentive, but not hovering over the table every five minutes which I appreciate. Overall, great food, cool atmosphere and good service. Sharky's was definitely a good find while we were in Humble. And if you order the Whale Shark Platter, just know what you're getting yourself into.

The drinks are also really good. The bartender was excellent. We will definitely be back!
