Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen offers a consistently enjoyable dining experience. The atmosphere is elegant and the service is always attentive and professional. I appreciate their dedication to fresh, high-quality seafood prepared with classic Louisiana techniques. The warm bread and butter are a delightful start to every meal, setting the tone for a satisfying experience.

Their menu features a wide selection of signature dishes and seasonal specials, ensuring there’s something to please every palate. I'm impressed by their commitment to consistent flavor and presentation. It’s a reliable choice for a celebratory dinner or a casual get-together with friends and family, and I find the portion sizes generous.

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!

Great food, very delicious. Long waiting time but worth it. It is a great place to celebrate a birthday. It is on the expensive side.
