For being a chain restaurant, Pappadeaux is pretty good. For an appetizer, I usually have the Blackened Shrimp & Crawfish Fondeaux or the Lump Crab & Spinach Dip; both are luscious and come with French bread. My two favorite entrees are the Crawfish Etouffee with white rice and the Pontchartrain Panbroiled Fillet. My adult beverage of choice is the Swamp Thing. I do not know what is in it but it is quite tasty and pretty to look at (Yes, I'm a girl!). I have never had dessert; have always been too full. However, my sister and nephew swear by the banana pudding which is served in a Mason jar (Ick!).
The only real draw back to Pappadeaux is the wait for a table. No matter when I have gone, the wait has always been at least an hour.
