MY FAVORITE RESTAURANT

by sw72769 at Citysearch

I lived in Atlanta Metro area for 7 years and this is my favorite restaurant!!!. The food is EXCELLENT and the portions are hugh. You MUST try the blackened shrimp and crawfish fondeau it is to die for. Another favorite is the fried soft shell crabs. I have never been able to find another restaurant anywhere where I can get soft shell crabs all year long. I can't wait to visit Atlanta and this will definately be one of my first stops. I always order 3 each of the soft shell crabs and fondeau two of which I bring back to NJ with me. I WISH there was one in NJ/NY/CT!! Also the SWAMP THING is delicious. I have eaten at all the locations in the Atlanta Metro area. The Alpharetta location is my least favorite. Friday and Saturday evenings are extremely busy so be prepared to wait 30-60 minutes. But the food is well worth it!!!

• Pros: excellent food, generous portions, reasonable prices
• Cons: long waits, service slow at times

Great Seafood Just Over the River

by gregtreadway at Citysearch

This is a fine restaurant experience. Good food and good service. If you're going on the weekend evening then you might want to make a reservation. The atmosphere is awesome and you won't break the bank. Perfect for Mardi Gras since the theme of this seafood heaven is that of the French Quarter. I recommend anything on the menu that is blackened. It'll give you that Louisiana flavor. This will be sure to become one your favorite eateries right away.

Jacked Up Service urban service!!!!!!

by veronicawrig62 at Citysearch

Yesterday my co workers and I went to Papa Deaux for lunch and the following happened. For some reason I started to cough really bad and requested a glass of water from our waiter. Instead of getting me the glass of water, he proceeded to keep telling us the specials of the day. I had to run across the restaurant to the bar to get a glass of water so I wouldn?t choke to death. The bartender asked if I was ok and I stated no. The bartender quickly gave me a glass of water and I returned to my party. We ordered our food and waited over 40 minutes and heard nothing from anyone. Finally when the food came the order was wrong and our waiter could care less. After one of my co workers requested a manager did we get some type of response? We received 30% of our bill but, I have to say this whole experience has turned me off to Papa Deaux?s immensely! Please tell your wait staff if you don?t want to be there, stay home.

• Pros: Great food when you can get it
• Cons: Jacked up staff

Excellent Service... went above and beyond for us

by hmonem at Citysearch

My wife and I went to Pappadeaux tonight and had a great experience that we wanted to share with all.

I have a dairy allergy that keeps me from choosing larger chain restaurants because of their menu inflexibility. It's just hard to get cooperation when asking servers to make sure my dish has no cheese, butter, cream or milk. Tonight at Pappadeaux, not only did the server do her job in communicating my special order, but the manager also came over to our table to confirm the allergy and did a personal followup with the chef. Upon returning, the manager informed me that the rice in my order had butter and got me a potato substitute instead.

As an appetizer, we ordered the shrimp cocktail. We had a greek salad (no cheese). I had the tuna and my wife had the peppered shrimp and we loved both dishes. My wife and I got to enjoy our meals whole-heartedly, without worries about surprizes in my meal. And by the way, the food was excellent, even without the buttered rice.

So thank you to our server and the manager for going above and beyond the level of customer service we normally get at large establishments like Pappadeaux.

You guys are the best -- we will be sure to come back when we're in town again!

• Pros: Service, Taste, Ambiance

Reservations for a party of 22

by tc2980 at Citysearch

The tables were reserved at 6:30 P.M. (a week in advance) but my party still had to wait an additional 20 minutes to be seated (not sure why, although it was clearly explained over the phone if we?re late I?ll lose my reservation) However the FOOD was GOOD and the 2 waiters were AWESOME. While we waited for our food the restaurant felt cold and one of the waiters noticed and brought out white chef jackets to wear :) how is cool was that? Now we?re warm and ready to EAT thanks for accommodating the Jeffries.

• Pros: Easy to find, good food, friendly waiters
• Cons: Busy, Pricey, VERY difficult and time consuming if you want the waiter to split the ticket

The best part wasnt even the main dishes. They were the appetizers. That FONDUE is off the chain. D@mM that stuff was good. Anyone that hasnt been here before, yall missing out.

• Pros: The FONDUE
• Cons: Price! <~~~even though i didnt pay, i know its expensive

Friendly waitress. Wonderful crab & shrimp sauce over fish.

by berryfield at Citysearch

We called ahead at 7 PM on a Tuesday night for reservations at 8:00, and they said you have to make reservations 24 hours in advance but they would give us the "next available" table when we arrived. When we walked in the door, we heard the hostess tell someone there was a 30 minute wait, but when I gave them our name, they told us they would have a table soon. We were seated within 5 minutes! I noticed a lot of out-of-state tags in the parking lot, and it is right off I-75. I ordered the Pontercherain (choice of fish but I got the salmon) with shrimp & crab sauce, and overall it was delicious with the sauce although the salmon itself was bland. I asked about substituting asparagus for the rice (love my veges!) and the waiter said that was OK, but we found out later that there is a surcharge for substitutions. The waiter went and checked the menu for us after we got the bill and found that the asparagus is normally $5.95 but a substitution order is $3.95. I don't think she intentionally misled us. She checked on the pricing on her own after we asked about it. She really was friendly and pleasant and made the evening that more enjoyable. A stuffy waiter can ruin a restaurant for me. She also kept a close eye on my husband's water to refill it often, take away dirty plates, checked back with us after the meal arrived. We split the Greek salad for one which was plenty for two. We could have *easily* split my salmon dish. It was two 7 oz pieces of salmon! I noticed that a lot of "heavy set" folks eat there. It must be because of the generous portions, but I would rather pay less and have smaller servings. We split a key lime pie, no coffee. So 1 salad, 2 entrees, 1 dessert & water to drink came to $63 plus a $10 tip. A little expensive for us on a regular basis but OK for once in a while. It was noisy, but a big dining room. Ask to sit on the closed-in "porch" overlooking the water fall spout. Pretty view.

• Pros: Attentive waitress, atmosphere
• Cons: pricing on substitutions &amp; no bread served with meal
