In Short – Step inside Pappadeaux and feel like you've just been transported to the New Orleans riverfront. The jazz memorabilia on the walls and the circle of light cozying up every table match the authentic menu. Groups of families and friends come here for serious seafood. The gumbo is a big, delectable bowl of shellfish, vegetables, rice and spicy seasonings. There's also the shrimp Creole, a large serving of shrimp and vegetables covered with a red hot sauce.
great food, manager--not so much

Pappadeaux has been a usual dining arena for my family and I for years. However, upon stopping in yesterday I was totally put off. The waitress, Mudian (?), refused to serve my daughter an alcoholic beverage--and understanding the policy on underaged drinking--I ordered a drink myself and my daughter a water. Later in our dining experience, my daughter had a sip of my drink and the manager, a short blonde that looked about sixteen, immediately took the drink off the table in front of my guests and told me she would not serve the table any more drinks because she saw her take a sip of my beverage.
This was completely inhospitable and a big turn off. Upon then we paid our tab and left.
Aside from this incident, the waitress seemed to have no knowledge of the menu or the ability to take our order without interrupting her conversation to another one of the waitstaff members.
I hope this isn't going to be a trend for Pappadeaux, it used to be a great restaurant.
- Pros: I've liked everything I've ever eaten here
- Cons: unattentive waitstaff, rude manager
Not bad!

This was my first trip to Pappa's. I had the half dozen oysters ( I got 7) and the Medium order of the fried Alligator.
The alligator was crispy, not greasy, and the breading had a kicky flavor. The creole sauce that came with it was spicy without overpowering the taste of the alligator. I've never had alligator before and was quite please with the order.
The oysters were just that raw oysters on a half shell. It came with the usual horseradish and a shrimp cocktail sauce. They were good even though I was eating them in a month that didn't end in "R".
The french bread was a nice bonus.
The restaurant is large and they had plenty of tables that can accommodate large parties. I went at about 5 on Saturday and got a seat right away.
For the medium order of alligator, oysters, bread, and water, my meal was $15.05. I did leave a little hungry and went to the Austin cookie lounge for desert.
- Pros: good food, good service, large restaurant
- Cons: Loud and a bit pricey
consistent quality
