Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen

The restaurant was clean inside and the service was excellent. There is a parking garage across the street. Atmosphere is fun.I plan on going back and would recommend this if you enjoy a seafood restaurant .

This Downtown Houston Pappadeaux location is absolutely amazing. The restaurant has many lights, a bar, and is clean and comfortable. The service here is highly commendable. The waiters are kind and attentive. They ensure that you are content and will take care of any concerns you might have right away. Overall this restaurant makes certain that you have an enjoyable experience every time!FOOD REVIEW:Andouille Sausage and Seafood Gumbo (5/5): the gumbo base was made perfectly, the andouille sausage and seafood was so tasty.Blackened Catfish (5/5): catfish was seasoned perfectly and balanced well with the rice and beans.Pasta Mardi Gras (5/5): is extremely tasty, well prepared, shrimp, sausage, and crawfish is pared well with the pasta.

Walked over and was greeted and allowed to sit at the bar immediately. The seater and bartender were sweet and I would give 5 stars to them alone. The restaurant appeared clean and the bar was nice. When it came to the food it came out quickly but was very bland for the most part. The spinach was tasty. The shrimp was perfectly cooked but the coating had no flavor so you had to dip it in a sauce. Same went for the catfish. The beer was refreshing and reasonably priced.

I been waiting to come back to Houston to try Pappadeaux. I remember my first experience being really amazing. I sat at the bar this time around. A young lady took care of me. I cannot remember her name but she was friendly. I ordered a guava spritzer, half dozen oysters, and crawfish étouffée. The guava spritzer was refreshing. The half dozen oysters took about 20 mins to come out. They pretty much stole the show and were huge. I loved the mignonette it was paired with. The crawfish etouffee was missing flavor and even though the portion was huge It was nothing like crawfish etouffee from Nola. I was disappointed esp for the price point of $33. I even left the leftovers.

As a Floridian I always hear how good this place is so of course I had to stop by and see if it overhyped and honestly ... it wasn't ! I enjoyed everything ! Service was good, restaurant was packed! And it was a lot to look at. My family and I truly enjoyed the experience!

Pappadeaux is always just ok regardless of the location. The ambiance and service is good, but the food options are limited, pricey, and the drinks are a bit on the weak side, unfortunately. I would recommend the establishment for a work happy hour.

Had a small meal before heading to a concert at the Toyota Center. Ordered a cup of shrimp gumbo with rice on the side (this is key). Otherwise, they'll add the rice in your gumbo and you'll get less of this yummy goodness. I usually get this with a Caesar salad; however, this particular Pappadeaux's does NOT offer Caesar salad. What?! Hence, the 4 stars. I couldn't believe it and was disappointed. I ended up ordering the House Salad with vinaigrette. Received my order, but instead of the vinaigrette, I was given honey mustard. I was too tired to ask to give me the correct dressing. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't what I had ordered. The gumbo was delicious, as always.The server was nice and polite.Visited the bathroom. Was decent until I noticed water coming up from the floor and the bathroom floor was getting flooded. Not sure what that was all about.

Chain restaurant in Houston. Pretty good fried shrimp. Huge crab cake was delicious and almost no filling. Hubbys blackened catfish was huge. Red beans and rice was amazing. Server very friendly and service was quick. Restaurant was not too noisy. Only wish there was fried okra.

I made reservations online prior to dining here. When we first got into the area we couldn't find any street parking. The restaurant advised us there was a parking structure in the area that we could park in & they would validate it. This location appeared to be attached to a shopping center and was not very spacious. Once we got inside we were taken to our seats. Our server was friendly but not overly attentive. We checked out the menu online prior to dining here and were disappointed to learn that this location only has a limited menu so some of the items that we wanted were not served here. I ended up ordering the Salmon Alexander with a side of dirty rice. The rice had a nice kick and was flavorful. The salmon was topped with shrimp, crawfish, and scallops. It was a nice portion and i had leftovers to take with me. Overall the food was good. If I came back to this restaurant I would go to another location that has the full menu available.

Definitely a must visit if you are in Houston!I was visiting for the weekends during really wanted some Cajun seafood. My friend highly recommended this place so we skipped in here on a Sunday funday.The restaurant is large and we had no issue getting quickly sat by the staff. It was a Sunday so there were multiple groups of people with their families enjoying the weekend.For food, my friend and I shared the seafood platter. The portion size was so big that even with us splitting it, we still could not finish all the food on our plates. Everything was delicious and fried to perfection.The only con was our server who was not attentive and seemed bothered when we asked for assistance for stuff we should have had.Overall though, I will definitely be coming back to try something new!
