We had somewhat of a satisfactory experience last night, and while we don't have any significant complaints with the food, or atmosphere, we did encounter some difficulty in obtaining refills for water, iced tea, and other beverages. My sons were not offered refills for their sodas at all, and I had to request a one water refill multiple times (2-hour dining time), after others received a refill of their water.
Despite these issues, I still provided a very generous tip to our server as we were a large party (12). It has been at least five years or more since I last dined at Pappadeaux, so it was somewhat disappointing to have to repeatedly ask for refills, particularly for water, which is typically a simple request.
Additionally, I found the seafood gumbo to be quite watery and lacking in flavor. I am uncertain if I will return, as the nostalgic appeal for friends and family birthday dinners and gatherings that it once held 10 to 20 years ago has, in my opinion, diminished.

The fried crab fingers that my friend order was greasy and tiny. She was sick the next day. The back potatoes were delicious! My grilled shrimp wasn't fresh

Best seafood ever!!
My recommendation to try the red snapper, grouper those are best! Salmon is no doubt always good, but if you want to try something new go for the other 2 . I ordered a trout this time, it was too good, but just a little bland.
Great service and the ambience is very soothing.

I love Pappadeaux's, when we visit I always order the redfish pontchartrain. Service is great. The problem I want to express is that the food was delivered with a great presentation BUT COLD. This is unacceptable, the meal my wife ordered was also cold. I have come to express to the server that I would like my food served hot not warm, HOT. We ordered meals totaling over $100 and they can not serve it hot. WHY? To say less I opted to walk out.

Today my husband and I ate at Pappadeaux on 75. It wasn’t too busy. We were seated and noticed a family who came in before us were helped before we were. A few minutes later the manager Fonzi came to our table and told us he noticed that we weren’t being helped. He offered us an appetizer at no cost. Then shortly Davion appeared to take care of us. If all employees were as intelligent and thoughtful as those two you could not keep people from putting this restaurant on the top of the list! BTW, we did not order an appetizer but it was a considerate gesture which we appreciated!
