Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen

"This is probably one of the saddest posts I've made. We have been going to Papadeaux's for 25 years. Everyone of those 25+ visits has been incredible, until now. The server was undertrained, the prices had gone up, the drinks used cheaper ingredients, smaller portions,and the menu was simplified. I'm not in the restaurant business, but the whole shift smells like a profit grab. Management is clearly not focused on the long-term or their clients, but their bank account. Go ahead and skip what has become a corporate chain and find a local place. You definitely don't want to pay these prices for Applebee's."

"Had a great dinner here, over 25 years since my first visit, and still going strong. Delicious blackened grouper with shrimp and crab, and a side of carrots with pistachios. The service was excellent - friendly and attentive but not over the top."

"If you follow me or have read many of my other reviews, you probably already know that we don't visit many chain restaurants, and so haven't visited Pappadeauxs in probably 15 years. But we were meeting family, so...... But I really must say that I was pleasantly surprised with our visit. Not that I'd make the hour drive to make Pappadeaux a regular stop, but it's definitely back on the list of possibilities. The service was great. All of the wait staff that helped serve our table were friendly and professional. Every order came out correct, and everyone at our table enjoyed their food. Our visit to Pappadeaux is exactly what you should come to expect, a good atmosphere, helpful friendly staff, and good food in large portions."

"The wait was less than 2 minutes. Amazing atmosphere and service. The wait staff is top notch. The bread was amazing and the fries were cooked perfectly. The tagliatelle pasta was loved by my guests. The shrimp batter was slightly sweet and not over battered. The Cajun chicken flavor was not too spicy but not too bland and a great combination of flavors. Our drinks were always topped off right on time or early in many cases. This is a fun location with a lively, alive feeling venue. If you're in the area and want a nice seafood dining experience, stop in and check it out."
