In ShortThis lively chain has its own sense of N'awlins elegance and verve. Dark-wood paneling, airy windows and service with panache are company trademarks. The restaurant will charbroil, blacken or panbroil a wide variety of fish,serving most with "dirty" rice. Gumbo is popular, chock-full of okra, crawfish, shrimp and yummy secret spices. The crawfish platter is fried crawfish in an spicy tomato sauce, with a crawfish etouffee in buttery yellow sauce.

Reviews for Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen
The service was friendly, but there was a little bit of a wait. Expect to wait a while for a table especially on the weekends. They have amazing crawfish ettoufe and a variety of other popular seafood options.

Never go here on fat Tuesday, you will never get service, and none of the customers seem to care. I waited one Fat Tuesday for 3 hours. The food is great and the service is fair. The prices are high and most everyone still goes.

Like most Pappa's related restaurants, this one has excellent service, on a par with the best. The seafood is great - favorites are any catch of the day Mahi-Mahi, Swordfish, halibut or several other possibilities with any of the great sauces like the Alexander, Yvette, or Crawfish Ettoufe. We almost always get them blackened. Servings are huge and despite being very hungry, I can almost always split an entree with my wife and leave full. Waiters are glad to serve split plates. Desserts are great too.
The downside is the wait - It can be very long and the bar is always overcrowded. Here is the best advice - use call ahead seating! You will love it when you are whisked to a table within 5 minutes while other are being told the wait is about an hour. Parking is sometimes scarce on busy nights.
Pros: Great food, superior service, call ahead seating
Cons: bar clientelle, wait, fairly pricey
