Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

My recent visit to Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen at Houston's airport left a lasting impression. The Louisiana-style dishes were exceptional, especially the crispy alligator and calamari appetizer. The catfish po-boy and fried butterfly shrimp were delightful choices. The staff's friendliness and entertaining service added to the...overall experience. The restaurant's ambiance, coupled with delicious creole-flavored seafood, made multiple dinner trips during my two-week business stay worthwhile. The convenience of being within walking distance from the hotel made it an excellent dining choice.More

Pappadeaux is a must if you’ve got a spare hour in IAH before flying! We always stop here before long-hauls and enjoy a crispy alligator or calamari appetizer followed by a gumbo or catfish po-boy. The fried butterfly shrimp is always a favorite! Eat at...the bar for a fun experience! Thoroughly recommended.More

Terrific food and great service. Made 4 different trips for dinner during our 2 week business trip. Definitely worth a trip if you love creole flavored seafood or steaks.

We love this restaurant. Fried shrimp is what we always order, and it is always good....actually the best fried shrimp anywhere. The french fries are excellent too. The service is timely and friendly. They deserve 5 stars.

Best etouffe I've ever had. They did it with crawfish. Just excellent. Also really enjoyed what they call Fondeaux. Almost makes me want to go back to Houston.

It started with our wait even though we had a reservation. Our server - took a long time to come to our table. Filled our water once for our entire meal. Our very expensive entrees were a mess. Tasted like everything sauce or flavor wise...came from a box, bag or can. Our fish was undercooked and the shrimp on top were overcooked. The red beans and rice were atrocious. No self-respecting southerner would dare to put that on their table and refer to it as homemade. We were there for my wife's birthday. What a waste of time and money. They never even acknowledged that this was her birthday in spite of the fact that they were notified when I made the reservation. With SO many great restaurants so close by, it was a shame we went there. Just awful.More

The food tasted well. (I visited twice) The prices were okay. The service was poor, clearly in a crowd they can’t handle it… the second time I went they made me wait for my order and when the time was up they realised they never...put it in the first place. I never got my food, I left because the wait time was about 30 mins plus.More

We told the server we were gonna split the food and he was kk d enough to do it...for us - on 2 separate dishes. He recommended a drink (pineapple something???)that was so delicious my friend ordered 2. The atmosphere and service was excellent.More

Our server Tkira was very nice and helpful. We asked for no added alt in our meal and our side of asparagus. We ordered the Blackened catfish Opelousas. She mentioned that the blackened spices had some salt in them. The food was very good but...the sauce although tasty was a little to salty for us. It was a shame because it had such great potential. The Aspargus was cooked al dente just the way we like it.More

If you are looking for a great seafood restaurant pappadeaux is the place to go!! I wish we would have took pictures of what we ate but didn’t think about it when it got delivered. We were in “awe”!! The fried alligator was the best...I have ever had!! My husband had the blackened salmon (cooked medium-well) with crawfish and shrimp. OMG!! I am not a fish eater and had to try a bite! It was soooo good. Melt in your mouth!! I had the shrimp, lobster clumps, and scallops on some kind of noodle!! It was so delicious!! We dropped about $120 (that’s with the tip) for the 2 of us but we definitely got what we paid for!!!More

Bebe, you wonderful beautiful woman, thank you for all your assistance with my 88 year old mom....above and beyond. And now, the food: as mentioned elsewhere, the fried calamari and orrechiette pasta with shrimp, crab, scallops....sooo yum! Rose sangria hit the spot too. And mom...loved the key lime pie! Worth every penny, and a lovely place to chill between flights. Thank you all so much!More
