Good service, horrible management 1 Star Rating - Unsatisfactory

Pappadeaux has okay food, but I don't recommend any of the sauces, as they are all extremely greasy. Management treats their employees worse than dirt and are extremely unprofessional. The kitchen is also ridiculously slow and makes mistakes even when the restaurant is not busy. The bar is even worse when it comes to consistency and speed. Nothing except the fish on the chalkboard menu is worth what they charge. The only good thing about this place is the servers - they are all very nice people. I worked there, and it was the only place I've ever quit due to personal reasons.

Excellent seafood dishes, especially their crab stuffed mushrooms 5 Star Rating - World class

I was a little wary of going here given that it is a chain, potential for crowds, etc.. but we were pleasantly surprised and had a great meal here. The crab stuffed mushrooms were superb - bathed in a light garlic butter sauce and perfectly baked. Went great with our glasses of Sauvignon Blanc. I then had grilled salmon with sauteed shrimp on top accompanied by fresh steamed vegetables which was very tasty. Huge portions though so definitely plan for that when ordering.

We will definitely return!

Pros: Great seafood dishes, New Orleans style patio
Cons: It does have that "chain" feeling....

My favorite restaurant in Houston 5 Star Rating - World class

Pappadeaux has by far the best seafood in town! I don't even like oysters but I gladly eat them here. The food is always cooked to perfection. They are so consistant . The appetizers are so varied and all so good that it is very difficult to decide, but try them all you won't be dissapointed. Everything on the menu is worth trying for that matter but my favorite is the shrimp brochette! The quality and taste are simply unsurpassed. The restaurant on Richmond and Kirby has the most ambiance but I visit them all simply for the great food. If you like seafood this place will quickly become you favorite restaurant. I have a girlfriend that surprized her husband for his birthday by flying him to houston just so they could go to Pappadeaux for his bday dinner! Thats how good this place is!

Pros: Great seafood
Cons: Little ambiance

Superb 5 Star Rating - World class

I am from St. Louis and enjoy Pappas every visit to Houston...and Chicago. If it is not a chain, I wish at least one could be built in St. Louis where we love cajun cuisine...(i.e. Soulard area). Great Food. Especially love the fondue.

Pros: Fondue, blackend anything

Great Seafood For A Houston Restaurant 5 Star Rating - World class

I'm orginally a Marylander, so I'm not easily impressed by seafood dishes, although, Pappadeaux's did have some great seafood. The shrimp etoufee was amazing! Sunday brunch was also good. It's pretty amazing to find a restaurant that served quality buffet style food

Pros: Seafood, Desserts
Cons: Parking during Brunch, Cost
