The service was excellent and accommodating to our large party so kind and patient as we enjoyed family from other towns to gather and celebrate a birthday. The food was great and even though we had one issue with a meal, the manager took care and really meant alot that they listened. We really enjoyed our dinner here and highly recommend it. The new hot honey gator bites were AMAZING !! There is a beautiful fountain outside perfect for after dinner mode.

Yummy seafood lunch with friends. Warm crusty bread and whipped butter was served with our drinks. Large and tasty portions were presented with care by our excellent waiter, Romaine.

So lets start with WOW! It is all 5+ stars. So what is not to like..... hummmm..... well... nothing. It is seriously all good. This is a great chain via the Papas brothers, any location will be a great dining experience. The ambiance is always great. Service is perfect. You feel cared for, not overbearing. The food is so very good. The shrimp and crawfish fondue appetizer is a rich delicious blend of full size shrimp and crawfish with a heavenly sauce with spinach and mushrooms. The garlic bread is flavored with butter cheese and red pepper flakes. Yum! It is so very sharable. Now to the main course. I love great shrimp etouffee and this is a great one. Side of scallops is the perfect add on. Try 2 blackened and 2 seared! You want an great meal bring your friends and come hungry. Savor the freshness and the flavors. The wait staff are charming, professional, dressed to the nines in B/W with bow ties and appear magically seem to appear whenever you need them. They make every effort to make your dining experience grand from the outside terrace with water farm ture and outside dining to inside luxury. Not kidding.. Travel, be adventurous, love and enjoy!

We came here during lunch time on a weekday. We were walk in’s and I loved the atmosphere (thought it was super cute). The waiters were super nice and checked in with us constantly. My husband got the shrimp gumbo, I got the fried mix, and we got the calamari plus oysters to share. My mother in law recommended this place and always comes here when she visits Texas. Highly recommend coming here if you are visiting Texas.

Our son took us to Pappadeaux off Research Blvd in Austin on Sunday for dinner. This was our first time at Pappadeaux, although our son had been to several different locations many times. It was busy when we got there, but it is a large restaurant, and we were seated right away. There were four of us, so we asked for a booth, and we were given a corner booth with plenty of room to spread out. Our server, Bryan, was very friendly, helpful, and attentive. Since it was mine and my wife's first time, our son went a little overboard in ordering appetizers so we could try a variety of dishes. We got the Crispy Alligator, Fried Calamari and Octopus, and a dozen Raw Oysters. Wow, we loved it all! The large pieces of alligator were tender with a crispy breading, and it came with a very good Creole dipping sauce. The calamari were just as good. We got the medium size for both, which was plenty to share around the table. The oysters were fresh and tasted great. So far, so good! I told our server that I had wanted some shrimp and grits, but it is only on the lunch menu. He went back and talked with the kitchen and told me that they would be happy to make me shrimp and grits. So, I got the Grilled Shrimp & Grits off the lunch menu. There were eight perfectly grilled shrimp on a bed of creamy cheese grits with andouille & sweet corn. This was a great sized portion and one of the best shrimp and grits that I have ever gotten. My wife got the medium portion of Fried Shrimp with French fries. There were at least 15 or 16 nice-sized shrimp that were butterflied and lightly breaded and fried. The fries were not as hot as my wife preferred, and our server quickly got her some fresh hot fries. The manager brought the fries out and apologized. If you like fried shrimp, get this dish! My son and his girlfriend got the Fruit de Mer and a cup of "Louisiana" Seafood Gumbo to share. They loved it! Just look at the photo of the gumbo….it was as good as it looks! We had a great meal at Pappadeaux and can’t wait to go back and try more items on their menu. If you love fresh seafood and dishes made from scratch, I highly recommend that you stop by Pappadeaux and give them a try!

Service was terrible, hostess was distance, didn't greet or even give us cutlery, or menus. when food was served. I walked to podium to get the silverware. She looked at me with an angry stare, it made me wonder, do I know you?? Do we have a problem?? The youngman that brought the drinks, spill & just walked away, I asked him for a napkin, he just kept walking & never returned. Jessica said, he was new, even a new person knows to wipe a spill. .Jessica did her best to salvage the visit, but it was alot negatives to rescue a lousy service, she got her 20% tip because of her service. We were fair to her, food was mixed, mine was great, my grandson who's not picky, didn't like his crabs, he hated the platter. MY Daughter's red snapper was not well seared, she took it home to finish cooking in air fryer. It's a no return. Someone outta know, we eat with our eyes and feel of good service before our mouths, do better! If I am spending 250$ on a dinner, I expect better.

My family celebrated my grandma's 95th birthday at Pappadeaux a few months ago. We had a party of about 20 people. My mom tried to reserve a private room, but it wasn't available so we had two large tables in the back of the main dining area. As we made our way to our tables, the entire restaurant applauded (my grandma had on a birthday sash and tiara lol). It was such a sweet moment and I wish I could have recorded it. I started with the Garden of Eden which is a vodka based cucumber drink. It was very good and refreshing and I enjoyed the Tajin rim. For apps we had Fried Calamari and the Crispy Alligator. I didn't try any of the calamari but I did have a piece of the alligator. It was good, but extremely salty. For my entree, I ordered the Naked Snapper. It was very flavorful, but unfortunately it was too salty for my preference. It came with sautéed spinach which I enjoyed. Our server David was really nice and did a great job with our large party. When it came time to pay, he was able to split the check three ways which was much appreciated!

I always have a good experience here! The service is consistently great -- the staff are friendly and on top of things every time I visit. I also noticed the nice refresh recently, from the new uniforms to the updated menus, and even the food feels like it's gotten a little upgrade. Everything tastes fresh and well put together. It's clear they're paying attention to the details, which makes coming back even better. Shoutout to Mark - he was very attentive and anticipated our needs throughout the meal.

Returning to Pappadeaux regularly has been a "go to" for my husband and me. You might ask what is the hook? Why do you two keep coming back to Pappadeaux? Short answer: great food and excellent service. We look forward to both the food and service. We are creatures of habit and generally order the same thing with little variation. Our favorites are catfish (fried for my husband and blackened for me). We generally get dirty rice but occasionally my husband gets French fries, which I normally have a few. Though the catfish is fried, it is not greasy and so soft you can cut it with a fork. The blackened catfish is plump and flavorful with the right amount of seasoning. Today was a little different because I cratered and purchased the Key Lime pie. However, I will eat it over a three-day period to ease my conscious. Smile. Lunch prices are less than dinner prices. However, both at lunch and dinner Pappadeaux has generous portions. "To go" orders usually last for two meals. While occasionally we will dine in the restaurant, for the most part, we get our food "to go." Service at Pappadeaux's is their secret sauce. When you pick up your "to go" order, they will verbally confirm what is in your order. They frequently ask if they can bring you a cup of ice water as you pick your order up outside in the Texas heat. The staff fosters a congenial and welcoming environment. Pappadeaux keeps us coming back again and again due to food quality and service consistency. Until next time...

Daniela also known as Danny was our server. She was so friendly. We were seated quickly. Ordered food and it came out as we requested. We split several appetizers and entrees. They were hot and delicious. Since it was my 55 birthday the manager came over and offered a free dessert. This place always delivers on service and food.

Always fabulous food and service! The Pappas family really know how to run exceptional restaurants! Outstanding decor but due to the popularity, it's pretty noisy. Definitely a repeater for us.

The food, the service and the ambiance are all suitable for a good date night or lunch date. The service was quick and friendly. The sticker price "depending " on what you choose to order can be a little expensive but it's worth it.

This specific location has gone downhill. Pappadeaux is amazing but not this location. Slow service and way undercooked fish. Ordered a salmon and redfish meal and both were extremely undercooked. The server tries to say o our fish is "sushi grade" and that's how we cook it. lol. Yea right. Have been to several locations including the airports and never had this issue before. Also they forgot the scallops on the salmon meal. They did have a manager stop by to apologize but between that and the extremely slow service I was expecting maybe a little off on the bill but nope. In fact they charged me for 2 rounds of garlic bread lol. I thought they had free bread in years past. I will not be back at this location. It was understaffed, not really clean, and sort of loud for not even being that busy - that had sounds you can hear from their kitchen buzzers or something out into the dining area.

As much as I love this place enough is enough! It's currently 3:57. I've been waiting on my online order for almost 40 minutes. You'd think I had a special order or something but no, it's just a Caesar salad with grilled chicken. Yes, I paid an extra 15% gratuity for take out even though they never brought it out and I had to go in and speak to three people about it. Finally someone proceeds to had me the salad which had been sitting on the kitchen counter for god knows how long... no refund in the tip, no sorry we messed up, nothing! I have to make better choices. The costumer service is nonexistent smh!

We like to go to Pappadeaux when it's in a city that we visit. There have definitely been some menu changes and higher pricing. We started with the Crab and Spinach dip for our appetizer. It was cheesy and delicious. My fried shrimp entree was great. One of our favorite entrees use to be the Cedar Planked Salmon with the corn and shrimp topping. That's no longer on the menu. The service was good. They had just opened for the evening. It's a nice size restaurant which has a bar area and an outside patio area for dining. They have plenty of parking available. They can get crowded you might want to make a reservation first.

Not that they need any more five star reviews, I just cant ignore the very pleasant dinner that we had on Sunday. Pappadeaeux's interior harkens back to an earlier time when the entire space was designed to project comfort and elegance. Add to that our server, Keshia L., who was a delight and we had a great time. Keshia was completely knowledgeable about all aspects of the menu which we really appreciate. Oh, and the food was delicious and arrived exactly as described by Keshia.

Everything was wonderful but there was a hair on the corner of my plate half in the butter by my trout. I could have probably just removed it but it kinda grossed me out. I'm sure it was just one of those things and the staff promptly replaced it. I had to take the meal to go though because AI had a hair appointment and had been here for over an hour. I still love them. It happens I am always really honest on my reviews.

A go to anytime I have family in town! Very classy space that can be a good go to for any occasion. I also think they have a party room that can be reserved for larger groups. The server was very friendly and helpful. Came during the Microsoft shut down, so there was a bit of a wait before being seated as they worked to get the computers back up. You get fresh bread while you wait for food. Great addition with our spinach dip. I went with a lighter meal, some salmon with rice and veggies. Delicious! I appreciate the mix of meal selections if you want something more hearty or more healthy.

Delicious, mouth-watering seafood, like tender Trout, Salmon, and Crab! Fresh, prepared with sides like Pasta Fagoli in broth; warm, crusty garlic bread, and Caesar salad. My server, Alex was quick to respond to our needs. He was well-trained in the nightly Specials. Ambiance was Chicago Speak-Easy style, with brass chandeliers and soft lighting. Prompt service, excellent entrees and a relaxed atmosphere will make this our family favorite for years to come! Five stars from us! Try it!

I visit Pappadeaux on Research almost every Friday, but after my experience tonight, I may need to find a new go-to spot. When I arrived, it wasn't busy yet, so I was seated immediately. However, I noticed right away that we didn't receive eating utensils upon being seated, which was unusual. That should have been my first sign that the night wasn't going to go smoothly. Service was incredibly slow from the start. It took a long time for the waiter to even come over and ask about drinks. Because of the delay, we went ahead and ordered our food and appetizers at the same time. My son ordered a Coke, blackened trout with fruit, and I ordered mozzarella bites, a frozen Perfect Patron, and water. The Coke came but no water. When I asked the waitress for my water, she acknowledged it but made sure to let me know it would be a while before my margarita arrived. By the time my drink finally arrived--right before my food--my son's fruit was still missing. I also realized that I still didn't have any eating utensils. I had to ask the person who brought the food to bring me some, which should have been handled long before my meal arrived. As I was about to take a sip of my drink, I noticed something floating in it. When I looked closer, I realized it appeared to have legs. Disgusted, I waited for the waiter, who took a while to return, and when I showed her, she casually said it looked like something from the lemon. I had to point out that yes it's something on the lemon it was a bug. She still did not apologize and just said she would get the manager. Meanwhile, my son had finished all of his food, and he's only 11. If you've been to Pappadeaux, you know the portions aren't small--so that tells you how long it took for the manager to come over. When she finally did, she also didn't apologize, just asked if I wanted another margarita. At this point, my son's fruit still had not arrived. When the fruit and my replacement drink finally came, the drink was on the rocks instead of frozen. At this point, I was over it. I asked for the check and mentioned that the drink was incorrect. Instead of apologizing, the waitress just said, "I didn't put in the order for your drink, but I can get you another one." Given how long it had taken just to get this one, I declined. Then came the worst part--when the waitress brought back the check, my card was missing. I was furious. It took her a good 20 minutes to find it, and when she finally returned it, she still didn't apologize. Nothing was taken off my meal, and after everything that happened--not even an apology. They truly didn't care. Despite all of this, I still gave her a tip. Honestly, I shouldn't have given her anything. Overall, this was an extremely disappointing experience. I come here nearly every Friday and have never been treated like this. The service was slow, the staff was dismissive, and the lack of basic courtesy and accountability was frustrating. After tonight, I may have to rethink my Friday tradition.

The food: the shrimp and trout were good but the truffle potatoes brought it down. They were undercooked and everything just ended up being pretty heavy and buttery. The highlight was the watermelon lemonade actually. The vibe: the kids loved the decor and the kids menus with crayons. I would say it is a pretty family friendly place which I appreciate. Our server was awesome despite a pretty long wait for our food. He was always checking in and doing whatever he could to keep everyone satisfied.

Pappadeaux was soooooo goooooood!!! I'm already looking forward to my next visit to your fine establishment! The restaurant was packed when I arrived. Everything was packaged nicely, and my to go order was absolutely delicious! I especially enjoyed the fried calamari and octopus with marinara sauce. They were so yummy! I'll definitely be back soon to try more of the menu!

Four stars because they're still missing updated systems. I walked in and Jessica took care of me right away. When it came time to pay, I didn't have my physical cards--only my Apple Wallet--and unfortunately, they couldn't process it. Jessica saved the day by offering Zelle as an alternative, which was awesome and really helped me out. The food was delicious. I ordered the dirty rice with salmon and another type of seafood (can't remember the name), along with a big side of fries--which I was joking about with Jessica. Overall, a good experience and I might come back.

Don't sleep on Pappadeaux's like I have. Yes there are several gems when it comes to the Austin area restaurant scene, but this is one that never seems to disappoint. From the menu, to the service, and the portions size everything was better than expected. Went on a Friday and waited 10 minutes for a table of two. After being seated was greeted by our server offered waters. We order the crab and spinach dip as an appetizer, highly recommend with the amount of crabs that was provided for the price. For entrées, we split the Mardi Gras pasta with Alex sauce and the crawfish platter. She was able to divide the entrées into separate dishes, which was appreciated. So much food and of course there was plenty of leftovers. Will definitely go back for happy hour and have an appetite for dessert.

Service went to pappadeux Saturday afternoon. Restaurant was not busy. We were seared and then had to wait for waiter to come. Waited came after 10 minutes and got our water. Asked him to bring extra butter for bread. Waiter came back with drinks and I reminded him we would like butter. We finished bread and 15 minutes later they brought more butter. But the we had no bread? And our entrees hadn't arrived When entrees arrived 2 of the 3 were not correct. Asked for extra ranch for my salad. Only received one ranch. They brought out an extra ranch but the silver container was less than half full Grilled shrimp extremely salty Did receive birthday brownie which was good Asked for pecan pie to be heated and it was just warm Got the bill. No adjustment. One manager came and we explained our experience. Then another manager came had to explain all over again What should have been an hour or so lunch was over two hours. Not going back.

Stopped by this North Austin location yesterday afternoon. Anna at the bar was so welcoming, and extremely helpful. I'm not too familiar with the menu, and just wanted some suggestions . She gave me some good recommendations, it was great. Fun atmosphere, pretty lively for a Wednesday afternoon. They have a HH weekdays 3-6, need to check that out next time!

My wife had glazed salmon at lunch that was terrible. The server ask if rate was OK, my wife said no, she wanted it well done. My wife is a professional chef and knows her food and her taste preferences. The salmon came undercooked and it actually made her somewhat ill. It ruined what was to be a nice day for us. My fried shrimp was "just OK", nothing special. This particular Pappadeaux is not going to be competitive until they fix their kitchen and learn to understand what the customer expects. They clearly did not meet our expectations.

Food was great. Be prepared to eat because their portions are great. Some of the fried dishes were a little heavy on the salty side. But overall we enjoyed our dinner and we'd definitely go back for more. Service was great, attentive and frequent checks. Server was knowledgeable. We didn't like or seats, and they quickly relocated us to a better spot. This particular location is pretty huge. Great for large parties.

From start to finish, our experience here was outstanding, thanks in large part to our incredible waiter, Ian . His knowledge of the menu, thoughtful recommendations, and attentiveness made our meal truly special. Normally, desserts steal the show for me, but this time, the Salmon Alexander, my plate, and, my husband's plate, with Pasta & spinach , our appetizer, were the best part. Ian's recommendation were great on the meal, and the drinks. It's always a relaxing and enjoyable experience too, interesting artwork and ambient lighting sets the mood. We loved the new menu items most especially the spicy bread before our meal. If you're looking for impeccable service, fantastic food, and an amazing experience, please visit and ask for the manager Riley. He runs a tight ship, and is on top of his game. Great management!!!

Came to celebrate my mom's birthday and we had a wonderful experience at this location. Our server Ash was incredible and made sure to check on us often. We had a table of 18 but split up into groups because it was last minute but they were very accommodating. We ordered a variety of dishes which were flavorful, although our Ribeye steak was extremely overcooked. We told Ash and the manager Jasmine came and took care of it which was kind of her because even she agreed that it was super cooked. Overall, I'm glad we celebrated her birthday there because their customer service was immaculate.

This location had an issue earlier in the day, which delayed opening until 6pm. They also did not have red beans and rice available, which was disappointing. Service overall was good. We could have had a larger table, but it was fine once plates were cleared. Our waiter was personable, and gave accurate recommendations, which were appreciated. Our food was delicious. No complaints. I got the crispy salmon and crab, which was perfectly prepared! I also had a caesar salad, which was good, and the table shared the shrimp and crayfish fondeaux, which was delicious!

Ate here on a recent Friday evening with a 7:00PM reservation. Arrived at 6:45PM and was seated immediately. The waiter arrived promptly and asked us what we were drinking, and after a short pause on our part, he quickly recommended the Don Julio Margarita for $50.51...yes it comes with a show a good bit of tequila and a commemorative bottle, ...but really? So we ordered our usual drinks and some water, as well as the Mozzarella Cheese Bites. The Mozzarella bites were perfectly prepared, with a crispy skin and oozing cheese. The accompanying marinara was less than stellar, too tangy and devoid of depth. It kept me from eating more cheese bites. Adding a little heavy whipping cream and some spice would go a long way....This is a large amount of cheese bites, perfect for 4+, a lot for two. My friend ordered the Sampler (fried heaven) and a small Caesar Salad. The fried sampler came out hot, the fish and shrimp were crispy and tender inside, as were the chicken tenderloins, and the fries were good. The plate came with a myriad of sauces; ketchup, honey mustard, cocktail sauce, tartar sauce. The Caesar Salad was a good proportion, and the lettuce was cold, crisp, and with a proportionate amount of dressing. I ordered the Aged Rib Eye and a baked potato. I'll tell you the steak was delicious. Charbroiled, and although slightly overdone (that was actually my fault because I didn't want blood leaking out on my plate and I think they were over cautious) it was still juicy, flavorful, with great marbling. Both the waiter checked back in with me and then a manager came by about the steak. No issue - it was delicious. The baked potato was slightly smaller in size than I expected, but delicious nonetheless, hot inside with the right amount of toppings. Got the Keylime pie to go, was tart and delicious but kind of average. The dining room was not overly busy, but I would say three-quarter full . Our table was clean, the booth was nice. We had a good view of the room and it was not too loud. Often when you go to restaurants nowadays you can't even hear yourself think.; this is not the case at this restaurant. There are a lot of wait staff, support staff, and management walking the floor constantly. I appreciate that. When the table next next-door to us left, it hadn't been 30 seconds and they had cleared it, and there was a young lady there sweeping up beneath the booth and around the booth for any droppings that may have occurred from the previous meal. I can recommend this Pappadeaux's; I think the restaurant is well managed, and the food is solid.

The peach drink had a cognac in it...it was potent and very delicious. The oysters were immaculate. Perfectly cooked and excellent flavor. The complimentary bread wasnt cut and was a bit harder than my experiences at other locations not in the state. The server was okay. She didnt smile but wasnt rude. She got our orders accurate. I'm hoping it was just an off day. The ambiance was nice. Like many pappadeaux except with the beat set up that I have seen this far. I ordered grouper with crab and shrimp on top with crispy brussel sprouts The chicken cesar salad and fried shrimp and pecan pie were amazing per the graduates. The pasta made gras was great as usual. Of course all portions plentiful. I would return to this location if I'm back in Austin. Oh and the greeters were very friendly and kind especially the slightly older lady with glasses.

The food is always good. It's a lot to eat. Servers are well trained and friendly. Nice atmosphere.

I'd give it -5 stars if I could. 11:20 am and a 30 minute wait which is understandable. Except 90% of their tables are empty. This is THE worst managed restaurant in the Pappa's family of restaurants by far. It has been so poorly managed for so long that it is clear management does not care. It is capable of so much more. Last visit and review, I promise.

Morally and ethically bankrupt company. **** I beg you to respond. **** How does a restaurant get around taking tips from servers when they don't provide the services of food runners? Do you reduce tip pools on mondays when you dont provide servers with support? Another post said it was "stealing" and I agree. **** I beg you to respond. **** The food for me here is never a disappointment. That redfish wow! i cannot get over how good the deserts are either. Don't think I'll be back ever though.

Anna was amazing. She is so sweet, very attentive, just all around the person you want taking your order. Now the food was just delicious. We had the po boy, crawfish, étouffée, and fried crawfish and pasta Mardi Gras. Gumbo baked garlic bread and Caesar's salad and it was all amazing. Texas location is definitely the place to have pappadeaux

I've always loved Pappadeaux, but just don't get to go there very often. I've been craving stuffed shrimp and stuffed crab for a long time, and they're one of the few places in Austin that have them. I wasn't needing the entire "sampler" feast, but they were happy to create a special with just those 2 items plus a side. Great customer service, but man have they gotten expensive. Even the least expensive entrees will run $25 or more after tax/tip.

Food and service are always wonderful. 34 is a lot for a salad. But it's delicious. I am a regular

As good as I remember from my college days in Houston! The seafood as fresh, the baguettes as perfect, the menu as extensive. Too popular? Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen has earned its excellent reputation for good food and Texas hospitality.

I had been to another location Dallas Airport and loved the food. We decided to try this location and we were seated right away. The server did not make many recommendations but we did manage to get an appetizer and 2 seafood entrees. Overall the food was good but it took a really long time to get our food. It seemed the like they were mostly getting fried fish orders and it was coming pretty fast, but our food too a long time. We ordered some grilled grouper and Salmon with side of baked potato and carrots. We also ordered Crème brûlée and Keylime pie and they also took a very long time for that. Overall the food was really good but just the wait was longer than expected and so we will go back and let's see what happens next time.

The wait staff was awesome. The food was plenteous, and the shrimp on the Pasta Mardi Gras was the best I've ever had.

We ordered the "value pack for 6-8" last night. It included 8 fish fillets, 40 Shrimp, and 2 lbs of chicken tenderloins. You can customize your cooking style between grilled, blackened, and fried. We got the fish and chicken blackened and the shrimp grilled. It also came with a large container of dirty rice as well as a 1/2 loaf of French Bread, butter and large containers of sauces for the meats. The subtotal is $140 and it was more than enough for 4 adults and 2 kids. We have enough for more meals. I would recommend this meal again. We lhad the order to go and were provided plates and utensils but they forgot the serving tongs and large spoon I requested.

Food-4 there is no gluten-free option for bread or pasta. So a dip that requires something to dip in it doesn't work for gluten intolerant customers. Ambiance-5 Service 2- lovely people, concerned and gracious. But slow. We arrived approximately 11:40 AM. The four of us ordered one appetizer and four of food. An hour and 20 minutes later, at 1:00 PM we had to leave before our dessert was served. Luckily one member stayed behind to grab it and pass it to us as we were driving away. Just need to speed it up during lunch.
