It is only a short time in spring when crawfish are in season and on Wednesdays and Thursdays, this place flies them in fresh and offers them until they run out. I am addicted to the mudbugs and have been to Pappadeauxs 5 times since mid March to get my fill of them. The bartenders recognize me by now. I have been going in every season for the past 4-5 years. Usually I sit at the bar and find the service to be friendly and top notch. I most often start with a half dozen raw oysters and then move on to the crawfish. Oh, boy, are they good and go perfectly with an ice cold Shiner Bock draft! Took my mom last week and we sat at the bar. Had some mussels to start. Very good again. Even though this place is packed every time I go in, there never seems to be a break in the service quality. I have also been in recently with a large group and sat in the dining room. Fantastic meal. We all had something different and everyone was pleased. A little loud for my liking but that is to be expected when a place is as busy as this restaurant always seems to be. Don't let the metro location scare you off. Quality seafood and quality service.
