Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen

We came the wait to get to our table wasn’t very long. The inside of the restaurant looked AMAZING! Service was amazing too. I got the rainbow trout and shrimp it was just too good, I believe I also had gotten a watermelon juice. I’d rate my meal a 9/10! I definitely recommend it. Amazing meal for my first time in Georgia.

The hostess Jasmine was professional and accompanied my girlfriend and I as soon as she saw us and was extremely friendly. Our waiter Tyler was phenomenal to a point of I would go back again just to re-experience his hospitality alone. Tyler gave my girlfriend and I wonderful recommendations and his timing for every part of our meal was on point. We never felt rushed and he made a busy Wednesday night dinner rush feel feel personable. Thank you so much for a tasty dinner and an outstanding evening. I will definitely be back with my girlfriend and my friends when they are in town for army drill weekends. I had Tyler’s recommendation of the Grouper and jumbo shrimp and my girlfriend had the Pappadeaux platter. We both would order these dishes again because of how tasty and big the portions were. For dessert we got the crème brûlée and the cheesecake. The cheesecake was divine and the crème brûlée tasted like how my mom makes it with a hint of peanut butter which was a nice surprise with the fresh berries accompanying it. I was also able to talk with one of the managers and he was very professional and friendly and I was able to let him know how truly wonderful our dinning experience was and how outstanding our waiter Tyler was. Thank yall so much and we can’t wait to come back!!

We had dinner here Sunday night because I wanted fried fresh oysters-hard to find in East Tennessee. We came back for lunch the next day because the oysters were so fresh and delicious. Everything we had on both visits was superb. If you are ever near Truist Park and want fresh seafood, it’s worth finding this restaurant. We hope to return soon.

As good as the food was the inability to speak to others at our table due to the 12 top next to us allowing their children to run around screaming did it in for me. I know it’s not the restaurants fault but I have decided I am not a fan of family style dining halls. We were dining for a birthday and had a veteran with us that couldn’t engage at all due to noise level. Just not my cup of tea. I will say the cheesecake was outstanding. Drinks took forever to get as well.

Always 5*’s Wants some good food! Never a disappoint. Drinks are delicious as well. I miss this restaurant. Customer service and staff are always fantastic.

The food was excellent. I was pleased to find entree options that weren’t fried or loaded with sodium. Although, my friend did order the fried combo plate and was thrilled with her meal.

An amazing experience for well cooked and well seasoned, fresh seafood. The red snapper with jumbo lump crab was so moist and flaky that I didn't feel the need to use a knife. The spinach side was tender and soft, but not mushy. Great food, great service, and great atmosphere! Just be aware that it is not a cheap bite though!

This is easily my favorite restaurant on the planet! Today I decided to stop by after driving from North Carolina. My lady and I had an incredible time and were wow’d away by the experience. Our server AMIR gave 5 star service from beginning to end. Also, the food was so delicious that I almost ordered extra to go. I’ll forever be in love with the establishment & will continue to support! Recommend by Melo!!

Had the pleasure of joining old and new friends at Pappadeaux's Seafood Kitchen this evening and both food and service exceeded expectations! Prompt, friendly, and attentive service complemented a wonderful dining experience. Started off with shrimp gumbo with lots of shrimp and just the right kick. The salad was a Greek Salad with feta cheese and Greek dressing and quite large. For the 3 entrees we had the salmon and shrimp platter with a perfectly executed medium cooked salmon retaining a flavorful moist texture served with cream spinach. The 10 oz filet was served medium with brocolini and mashed potatoes, as good as most steakhouse filets we've tried. Then my favorite fried seafood platter with 2 large catfish filets, crab stuffed shrimp, stuffed crab, and fried shrimp and oysters served on a pile of crispy fries...delightful. Hush puppies would have knocked this one over the top! Dessert included wonderfully presented creme brulee with fresh berries and whipped cream. Key lime pie (not pictured) was quite good with a crispy shell also served with berries and whipped cream. It was quite good even though I am not a big fan of key lime pie. If you haven't been to this Windy Hill location, it is a must try. We typically go to the Alpharetta location, but this was quite the treat! The atmosphere is a nice but relaxed New Orleans feel with pleasurable dining music.

I usually eat at the Jimmy Carter location and I should have done so this recent visit. Alas, I visited this particular Pappadeaux and left feeling pretty disappointed. I live in MD, so I was super excited to eat at Pappadeaux (this is not a chain we have in MD despite being known for seafood). I love Pappadeaux food and eat it when I can (visits to Atlanta, and the Hobby airport in TX). I already knew what I wanted to order when I arrived which was: -A Swamp Thing -Stuffed shrimp with fries subbed out for dirty rice -A side of broccolini The Swamp Thing came out first and immediately I noticed it's level was not the same as my friend's Swamp Thing. It was considerably lower. Then it became even lower than that once I took out the pineapple! I'd taken a few sips, but ultimately decided to send it back and have another one brought to the table WITHOUT pineapple. That drink is almost $20. It needs to be full of the alcohol I am paying for, not watered down and over fruited. While all this was going on, my entree came out, the stuffed shrimp and dirty rice. Everything on the plate was amazing and I ate it all. The "broccolini" came out separately a little after my entree. I went to eat the broccolini and it was thicker than usual (like regular broccoli) and VERY hard. Like, not cooked much at all. So, I sent that back too. The waiter was a nice guy and I tried not to take my dissatisfaction out on him, but he was the one I was sending food and drink back with. Customer service was great, my entree was great...the drink and the side tho? Pass. It's Jimmy Carter from now on.

I first tried this restaurant in Houston many years ago and I looked forward to trying it again in ATL Metro. I made a reservation for myself and a friend and was seated promptly. When my friend arrived, she provided my name for the reservation and was told there was not one. She was sat separately from me in the back of the dining room. After we had each placed drink orders at our respective tables, my friend texted and described where she was seated. I went and found her and she joined me. We ordered apps, salads and entrees. We were told salads would come out first but they never came. When we asked about them after the entrees arrived, the server said she "forgot". She also took forever to bring out final bill. Food was good. Reached out but have yet to hear back from the owner who replied to this review.

Best mozzarella sticks EVER. Great service. Not too much for the vegetarian, though. The bathrooms are always a little messy. Loud dining room but the food is great.

Yummy yummy! Everything was top notch besides the banana pudding... it was just pudding mix. Super disappointed. Otherwise, DELICIOUS meal, drinks, and great service! I can't wait to return!

When I found out I was going to Georgia, I knew I'd be stopping at a Papadeaux location for sure! This location did not disappoint. My husband and I shared a bowl of Gumbo which was amazing and full of flavor. I ordered their Crawfish Salad and he had Marci Gras Pasta. Both dishes were YUMMY! Our server was extremely helpful and friendly. The place was festive and packed. Loved to see it. Beautiful location.

We visited Pappadeaux the Saturday before Mother's Day with a party of five, and despite the restaurant being packed, we were seated right away. They placed us in a private room that had been converted to accommodate larger parties, which honestly made the experience feel even more special. Our server, Lauryn, mentioned she was still fairly new, and while she was unsure about one of the menu items at first, she quickly got confirmation. She was sweet and attentive throughout the meal. I wasn't super hungry, but I did get the crab and crawfish fondue which never misses. It's creamy, flavorful, and served with fresh French bread. The mix of crab, crawfish, shrimp, and mushrooms is always a hit. My table ordered a variety of dishes including the Mardi Gras pasta, the andouille and shrimp gumbo, and the halibut. One person thought they ordered the halibut extravaganza but actually received a simpler version with potatoes. At first they were disappointed, but the dish turned out to be a win because the halibut stood out more without all the extras. Lauryn apologized for the mix-up, but the plate was still a hit. The Mardi Gras pasta was rich and well-seasoned, and the shrimp cocktail--though served on a plate instead of in a glass--was still fresh and tasty. Overall, the food was great, the service was solid, and the vibe was perfect for a weekend meal with family. Definitely recommend.

My family and I visited and it was super busy which is usually a good sign. We chose to sit at the bar since the wait for a table that we could all sit together at was a 2 hour wait. We ordered drinks and appetizers with the amazing bartenders. They were all very helpful and attentive. I got the grouper which was topped with crab meat and shrimp and had a lemon butter sauce on it. It was delicious and fresh! The restaurant was dimly lit which definitely gave romantic vibes. I ate my food for dinner and woke up the next day and ate my leftovers for lunch. I was so sick after! I will spare you the details. If the food didn't make me sick I would have given it 5 stars for sure!

My mom had a craving for their bread pudding so we came here to make it a reality. Unfortunately they currently aren't selling the bread pudding so we opted for a nice meal instead. We started off with the Shrimp and Crawfish Fondeaux. We had no clue how massive this dish would be. The bread it came with was warm and buttery which we enjoyed. For my entree I got the Mardi Gras pasta with Alexander sauce instead of the red sauce it automatically comes with. My mom got the shrimp and grits. We both enjoyed our entrees thoroughly. We finished our meal off with the Sweet Potato Pie. It came with this wonderful rum sauce and soft vanilla ice cream. I loved the ambiance of this place. This was my first time coming to this location and it felt like I got transported to the bayou. It was a great feeling. Our server for the evening was Christine. This young lady took great care of us. If you find yourself here in the near future, please take a seat in her section. You won't regret it. My mom and I will be munching on our leftovers for several days to come while dreaming of our grand return. Thank you for a wonderful experience, great service, and delectable food.

This used to be my go to spot but it's really declining. I tried to order the oysters they were out, along with the crab fingers and bisque. A family member ordered the gumbo which was watery. We went to celebrate a graduation so it was kind of packed the tables were all bunched together, and the lighting was dim. Our server was very nice and on his job as we had 2 tables. When my food came the sides were both cold and even when they brought out the new one it was still cold. I will say the trout was good though.

I think everyone loves this place. It's always packed. The food and service is always great. There is a lot of seating inside, at the bar, and outside. My cousin recently took me here for a birthday outing. We had an incredible time. I enjoyed the company and convos. Be sure to make a reservations, to refrain from waiting longer.

The Salmon was cooked perfectly. The scallops were top of the line as well. Was a really good meal. Service was good. The music was extremely loud. Too loud.

I would recommend the Catfish Waitress service - great Wait time - made reservations but had to wait for my full party to come and then I waited about 10-15mins Food - catfish and pasta shrimp Ambiance- nice spot to grab a quick lunch or have dinner with your significant other or coworker anybody in general. Overall I would come back for the Catfish it was very season something's just two season and that's one of them

Crawfish platter with dirty rice is phenomenal! Service was very attentive! My go to dish every time!!

Had dinner and a really enjoyed the experience! The seafood was super fresh and flavorful -- we had the blackened catfish and shrimp & grits, both were delicious. The portions are generous and the Cajun-style atmosphere makes everything feel fun and festive.

Pappadeaux is always a good choice no matter where you are. I just wished they remained open past 9:00pm. However I always get the Rasta pasta, side of gumbo, a good Caesar salad, and a strong drink (cognac of course). S/O to their Caesar salad. It was refreshing . One of the best salads I ever had. Our customer service was hospital and timely fashion. The ambiance was exactly what I expected per usual; diverse and busy and everybody eating and drinking good . Pappadeaux is a southern staple that never gets old .

The place is a beautiful peaceful restaurant. Very well decorated . We had calamari well seasoned and crispy. Garlic bread very good . I had the Fried catfish with spicy shrimp etoufee and dirty rice . So much food for lunch. The peach cocktail with rum was wonderful I had 2 of those and they had peach gummies in it. The waiter was so charming. The portions were very large and cheap for lunch. 4 people for 200 dollars and my sister had pasta and 3 cocktails the other 2 had fried fish lunches . They were good.

Me and mommy did a early lunch date. We arrived a little after they opened. The greetings where pleasant as always and we where seated immediately. We received top notch service from our waitress(I forgot her name) and this is why you should do reviews right after while it's all fresh...smh. Mom and I shared oysters and alligator bites and we each had a seafood salad. Everything was great as always. I've not ever been disappointed at this location.

Top tier food in the ATL area. I can't help but stop by when I'm in town. As a frequent traveler, this is one of the best spots to stop at if you are ever visiting the area. Definitely place a reservation because this place is usually on and popping. Great vibes and even better food, would love to come back and try some new options.

I have been coming to this restaurant for over 20 years and this was by far the best experience I've had in a long time!! The food today was amazing but I have to give the credit of my amazing visit today to Jarrod at the bar!!! He was so helpful and such a vibe. I think I kept a smile on my face the entire time!! KEEP HIM!!

I'm utterly obsessed with this place and will forever eat here any time I'm in the area! I will also willingly make the hour + trek when the craving hits!

3+ stars for the manager! Stepped in to draw back order and correct the mistakes. The wait time for my Greek salad was over and hour. Needs improvement. The accuracy of the order was the main issue. Salmon blackened under a medium temperature. The first time the salmon came out it wasn't seasoned. Sent it back. Almost an hour has gone by and I haven't gotten served. The second time it came out it was under cooked (sea photo). - to be continued.... So I ordered a third time and the manager got involved. The order was placed to go because of the time. The third time was a charm! Salmon blackened to perfection, salad was neatly packed with all items in the container. It was a battle but management stepped up and made it right. My guess is if you eat here. Try and get in early to avoid the large crowds and the confusion. There is a lot going on in this kitchen at this location

Hostess was rude. She told us it was a 30 minute wait and encourage us to go somewhere else. We said we'd wait. She asked for our number to let us know when the table was ready. I asked if it'd be a text of call in case I needed to undo blocked unknown calls. She ignored me, and instead of answering, told me to step aside so if she could help other people. She sat other same size groups that came in after us before us without taking numbers. She sends a text message a few minutes after we gave her our number to let us know a table was ready. The whole thing felt like a ploy to encourage us to leave. We went up and said we're here. Then she acts defensively like we're trying to start an argument. Everyone else was nice but bad first impression.

Not sure if it was just because it was Sunday but the service was so slow and they kept giving me the wrong order. When I actually got my food it was hot and delicious. I ordered blackened catfish w/ red beans and rice and the crab and spinach dip.

My daughter and I decided to visit Pappadeaux's on a Sunday, fully expecting the typical after-church and weekend crowd. Sure enough, the wait time was between 45 minutes to an hour. Once we were seated, we were placed near the beverage area, which meant there was constant foot traffic from servers. Initially, I wasn't comfortable with the location and asked to move, but I was informed I'd have to go back on the waiting list to be reseated. Just as I was debating what to do, we met our waitress, Yamelette--and I'm so glad we stayed. Despite the hectic environment, Yamelette was warm, attentive, and handled everything with grace. She took the time to answer our questions and made sure our food and drinks arrived promptly. Her positive attitude and professionalism made a huge difference in our dining experience. Overall, the atmosphere was busy but well-managed, and the service we received from Yamelette truly stood out. She turned what could've been a frustrating visit into a very pleasant one. I hope the management recognizes her dedication--she's a gem!

I received exactly what I came for today! excellent service and this time they had the crab fingers . It is very seldom to come to Papadeaux's and not have to wait a long time for a seat but today after church, my husband and I were able to be seated within 15 minutes. Shortly after being seated, we were greeted by a waiter who promptly took our drink, orders, and appetizers . I am always pleased with the service here and they did not disappoint today. The number one item that is not on the menu are the crab fingers because sometimes they don't have them. But if you're coming this weekend, they are in although still not listed on the menu. The fried shrimp were excellent, and I even splurged a little and ordered two appetizers(garlic bread, and crab/spinach dip) How do you get seafood to taste this fresh inland in Georgia? I don't know how they do it, but they did and it was worth the unexpected expense to dine in for Sunday lunch. The atmosphere is loud, chatty, but all signs of everyone having a good time and enjoying their meal. Unlike other places that usually have music too loud to be able to hear yourself think, their music is subtle, and in the background, allowing you the opportunity to have a great conversation around good food. you will find yourself waiting at the end to receive your to go box and check however, be patient because there are a lot of people in the servers are doing their best. They're very pleasant and well trained.

Food was delicious. I had the shrimp poboy and shrimp gumbo combo. It was enough to take home and tasted better the next morning. Service was fun. The waiter was fun, respectful and professional. A good balance. Ambiance was surprisingly quaint. It is good for groups and solo diners.

Visiting Pappadeaux is always a must stop before leaving town when visiting Atl. This visit I got to try some new items on the menu and as always they did not disappoint. Me and my friend tried the passion fruit lemon drop it was delicious. We started with the crab dip as usual. For entrees we tried the Atlantic Halibut Piccata and Crispy Salmon & Jumbo Crab. Both new dishes were very tasty. I think I liked the crispy salmon slightly better but both were very tasty. I think I'd like to try the Naked Halibut with the scampi sauce next time. I wish I could remember our servers name but he was amazing. Suggested which new items on the menu were some of his favs and they did not disappoint. He definitely steered us in the right direction. He was very friendly and attentive. For the first time I actually tried dessert and got the turtle fudge brownie. It was good but definitely on the rich side but the vanilla ice cream added a nice balance. The restaurant was clean and not overly crowded but a good amount of guests during lunch time and during a busy graduation season. Yet another successful dining experience at Pappadeaux I'm going to dine here every chance I get when in town.

I got a catfish po'boy to go. Be ready for a HUGE sandwich. It was tasty, buy the servers forgot plastic ware. I was staying at a hotel, so it was kinda difficult to handle, but the servers were super nice while I waited, and the sandwich was good. Check for utensils if you get anything to go!

We love Pappadeaux! We love, Pappadeaux! We love Pappadeaux's! I'm always in awe when I go to Pappadeaux's because no matter what it is that I try or even revisiting a meal that I have had previously it is always well cooked to perfection. The food is amazing here. You must get the lump crab and spinach dip. It is absolutely amazing and I will get it every single time that I come to Pappadeaux's. We have a little bit of weight, however it was OK as they were quite busy and we could tell they were a little understaffed. It didn't stop them from giving us the greatest service that they could when they finally sat us down and for that we really appreciate them. The great thing about Pappadeaux's that is always dimly lit so you're able to have that intimate conversation with somebody without feeling a bit awkward. If you haven't been to Pappadeaux's, I strongly suggest that you go and exploit your taste pallet while you're there because the food is absolutely amazing .

Thoroughly enjoyed dinner here tonight! At 6:00pm, we were able to make reservations for 6:30pm on Open Table. To our surprise we arrived shortly before the crowd. Our food came out in a matter of 15 mins, fresh and hot! I was also pleased to see how many graduates were celebrating tonight- full house but the service did not lack!

Meal was fantastic! Fresh seafood with very little wait time. I can tell this place get crowded but not this time. The waitress were very mannerable and seemed to know the menu. little upscale but not breaking the pocket, pretty much come as you are not jacket required

Stopped in. Famished. To the bar. It was FREEZING in there but I guess a regular saw me looking cold and said the end of the bar that way is warmer. Thanks to the regla. Bartender was prompt and understood the assignment. Good. Food. Quickly. I ordered the red snapper with lump crab meat, spinach and added a loaded baked potato. Ok so transparent goofball moment. My first bite of my potato was a fork full of butter. But yeah, ok. It's a lil dark in there which is great if you're in a date or just had to spit out a mouthful of butter. The food was DELICIOUS. Real question, do restaurants not offer bread and EVO anymore?? Am I telling my age and ethnicity here?? I don't care where what and where, I want BREAD and oil while waiting for my meal. What's the bread plate for???? Anywho- I completely enjoyed my din din. Pappadeux as per usual, has never dissapointed to date. Cheers to consistent excellence!!

It's been over eight years since I last visited Pappadeaux, but this year I decided it was one of the restaurants I wanted to go to for my birthday. Even better, I got to bring my sister--actually, she treated me for my birthday! If you live in Marietta, you know there isn't a day when this place isn't packed. I mean, never, not even on a Monday (which happened to be a holiday). Despite the busyness, there was plenty of seating, and my sister and I chose a booth. We had a great server named Jevonte--shout out to him for being efficient, informative, and fast. Now, I know you want to hear about the food, so let's get into it. For an appetizer, my sister and I went with the crab and spinach dip. Not going to lie, that dish alone was filling, but we were just getting started. We each ordered a salad: I chose the classic Caesar salad, and my sister opted for the house salad. Honestly, those could have been meals by themselves, but we weren't done yet. For my entrée, I had the fried shrimp platter with red beans and rice, while my sister went for the Jumbo Shrimp Brochette. I loved my food--the shrimp was perfectly cooked with a nice crunch, and the red beans and rice were some of the best I've had, fresh and delicious. Although I'm not a fan of tartar sauce, both the tartar and cocktail sauces were amazing. My sister enjoyed her meal as well, although she mentioned the bacon-wrapped shrimp was a bit salty, but the dirty rice she had as a side was excellent. Overall, I won't let so much time pass before visiting again!

My wife & I as well as our friends have been coming to Pappadeaux's in the Atlanta area for at least the past 20+ years. Each experience has always been very nice. I remember when Pappadeaux's had oyster specials in February for $5 & 7.95 a dozen back in the early 2000's & early 2010's. Those days are long past. Anyway, my wife & I went to the Marietta location and had a nice server by the name of Justin who provided very friendly & timely service. We started out with an Old Fashion with Buffalo Trace & a Creature Comfort draft beer. Both were cold and the Old Fashion per my wife was excellent! We then had a dozen oysters which were served on a tray covered with ice and the oysters nicely displayed with cocktail sauce & 2 varieties of mignonette sauces. For our entrees we each had the Mixed Seafood Grill which is served on a bed or dirty rice. The seafood provided were scallops, shrimp & fish along with grilled peppers, mushrooms & onions. All was good but the scallops were slightly overcooked. The restaurant is always busy which is a good thing and the ambience is comfortable with the seafood type vibe. I would actually rate a little above 4 stars based on our visit yesterday! Always good and always fun!

Great food as usual. The service was the best we have had. Everything was very clean from the outside to the sitting area even the restrooms. Just too bad we don't live closer.

First time visiting this location. Our reservation was at 8:30pm and we arrived at 8:15. We did not receive our food until 9:26pm. The restaurant wasn't busy at this time, but maybe there were not enough cooks to get the food out in a timely fashion. Our waitress Tishema was EVERYTHING!! She was always present and checked on us. She apologized for the food coming out later than expected and she was just nice overall. Thea the manager came over and also apologized to us for the inconvenience and she made sure our bill was taken care of and gave us gift cards. She did not have to do that for us, but she did and she was very sweet while we were explaining our issues. In the time where customer service lacks, their customer was excellent!! Because Tishema took great care of us, we made sure she was well taken of! The restaurant was nice and clean. The food was ok, definitely could have been seasoned a little more, but overall an ok experience turned into a great experience due to the customer service.

Gonna start off with it is entirely too cold in this restaurant to even enjoy your experience. Bring a thick jacket because I'm currently in here shivering trying to type it's ridiculous! I come often but I swear it's never felt this cold and it's chilly outside too. I didn't have a reservation but walking in the wait was only 25 min instead of the 30-45 min. I ordered the alligator starter and it's so so good especially with the sauce. It came to the table piping hot and crispy. For dinner I had the red snapper topped with crab with the lemon butter sauce with spinach and an extra side of manchego potato puree my taste buds were dancing! The staff was so accommodating as I'm allergic to nuts (pecans almonds cashews) and almonds come on the dish. Management came to the table told me the precautions they would make and checked on me again when my meal arrived. Aside from it being freezing I had a great dinner wish I had enough room for dessert because that cheesecake looked amazing.

The food was pretty good we arrived Saturday when the doors open and was seated quickly! I would go back!

Food was good and great customer service at the bar. Very courteous and friendly. Love the fried catfish thank you guys

OMG, the $33 crab cake with capers is going to be a favorite of mine! I almost wrote off Pappadeaux since the king crab legs are off the menu until they brought me this awesome crab cake with my main favorite, baked potato with sour cream & butter. K said you can't go wrong with fried shrimp, but we didn't love the dirty rice. He likes the brownie & ice cream, but it's not my thing. Plus, I was full, especially after my other favorite, the shrimp & crab dip! Go ahead and order the extra side of crostini's for $1! I tasted someone's seafood fondue but it wasn't as good as mine. The server was nice and it's always a good atmosphere. The sweet tea was good.

Ok so in Georgia, Marietta location, this place was packed and in-spite of that, had a good vibe, really nice background music playing and not too loud. We were a party of 7 celebrating a birthday got seated right away as we had reservations. Water came and drinks followed shortly, I had the swamp thing and it was good. Martini espresso for the birthday girl and had a few. Appetizers for the table: garlic bread, fries and the calamari. I was so disappointed with the calamari, it was super salty and soft almost soggy, calamari is supposed to crispy... The garlic bread was subpar, you could see the butter as it had not even melted into the bread...and the fries were at least hot. Not off to a good start. I had the Texas fish with the browned butter sauce- really sad to say the crab meat on the fish was just meh. The four large shrimp were good, that was the best thing on my plate. The dirty rice was just ok. I was expecting SO MUCH MORE from them. I had heard that the food was good. Sadly not so. Dessert: the key lime pie was a redemption! That was good and we shared it as it was a chunk of a slice. I don't know if I could recommend this place.

We sat in the back against a window overlooking beautiful greenery and water. The service was excellent. We shared an appetizer of hot crab & shrimp fondue..amazing. He got the trout with truffle potatoes, I had the shrimp & andouille sausage with red beans and rice. Highly recomment

Today was probably my fourth visit this year to this location and I've noticed a decline in the quality, presentation and most of all taste.... Service was above good, but sadly I won't be returning anytime soon. SALT was a huge factor..... the appetizer as well as all four entrees were over seasoned and the carrots were not as advertised on the menu. Boiled then sprinkled with pistachios ....yes! My portion of "wild grouper" was a "generous" 3 ounces. for the exorbitant price of 49.00. Total was 340.00 plus tip Pappadeaux... be better...do better

We dined in at Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen yesterday for lunch to celebrate my husband's birthday. He wanted gator and frog legs to satisfy his seafood craving and this location was one of the closest places that had the fried gator. The frog legs are no longer available here. I made the reservation in advance online using the Google Reserve option. We were seated as soon as we arrived to the hostess stand (a few minutes prior to the time selected). Our server, Nick was AWESOME. He helped me to surprise my husband with a dessert at the end of the meal and this made him feel special. For our entrees, I ordered the rasta pasta with a side house salad & he had the large fried gator appetizer, medium octopus and calamari appetizer & a side order of french fries. We had waters to drink but also added sprites to help with the grease from the fried foods. The water had an aftertaste (like a tap). The fried appetizers were awesome. I would definitely order the fried gator if you like it. The octopus was sweet, salty & savory and the calamari was also good. We also liked the included sauces. There was a brown sauce served with the gator that my husband really enjoyed that sort of tasted like gumbo roux. The french fries were fresh & went well with the fried fish. My rasta pasta had a nice flavor and I specifically enjoyed the wood grilled shrimp & sausage. There was something slightly fishy in the sauce, but it did not ruin the dish for me. The house salad was topped with a sweet and smoky bacon that packed good flavor. The rest of the salad was fresh, but the greens were lacking something. The salad dressing seemed to be homemade and went well with the fried fish and french fries. I did like that the lunch menu had a few options on it that offered us seafood for less than the main menu and that was available from open - 3 pm. I would likely opt for the fried fish options next time because I truly loved those flavors. Overall, it was a pleasant experience with good food and great service.

There are a few restaurants that I tip my hat too. Pappadeaux's is one of those restaurants. In the DMV, we have two, Woodmont Grill and Mike's American Grill. I've made it my business to dine at this brand whenever I travel to Georgia or Texas and they NEVER disappoint. What a chain, where all of the locations stay packed. My last trip to Atlanta, I had to wait on a bar seat at 2pm...wow! I absolutely LOVE Creole cuisine and Pappadeaux's food is consistently great. I've had several menu items over the years but last time out I chose the Crispy Salmon topped with lump crab and the charbroiled oysters and both were outstanding! The Hennessy Sidecars were STRONG and made to perfection. The atmosphere is always lively with excellent service to match. I know this review is preaching to the choir but hey, I had to add my two cents to the hype!!

I absolutely love the food here. Has been my favorite place for decades. However, I developed an allergy to shellfish. Now I'm restricted to certain dishes. Usually d grilled catfish. But, I absolutely love their key lime pie. I will get a takeout order of just the pie at times. Service is always good no matter the location. I've been in Dallas, Chicago area location (Westmont), and the Marietta location. All have best location with best ambiance. Never had a bad meal or experience here‼

Great atmosphere and great customer service. Very large portions and delicious food. The desert was also fantastic.

One of the more popular seafood places in Atlanta, plenty of parking, plenty of seating. Staff is very nice and friendly and the food is excellent and it drinks are very strong lol
