Tough to go wrong

by bu_bear

Always consistent, quality food whether in Alpharetta, Houston, Dallas, etc. Best crawfish etoufee you can get commercially, but order white rice instead of the dirty rice that comes with it as the dirty rice is too strong for the delicate flavor of etoufee. Wife and I usually share the Greek salad for 2, a bowl of seafood gumbo, and one entree - usually jumbo shrimp, etoufee, or fried catfish. Bowl of gumbo usually needs about 6-10 drops of Tabasco. Kids meals and most adult meals are heavy on french fries. Forget desert unless you go there just for desert. Between the bread and fries, you won't have room for much else. I'll drive past several Copeland's locations just to get to one Pappadeaux's. Nuff' said.

Great food & atmosphere

by deelite

I was seated promptly for weekday lunch, even though it was very crowded. Their lunch buffet was excellent and service was friendly & responsive. A little pricey for buffet & bottled water.

• Pros: excellent food, ambience
• Cons: pricey

Big Easy seafood steams into the station in Alpharetta.

by Contributor

In Short
The decor makes plenty of references to the Big Easy, such as the low, heavy-beamed ceilings, gas lamps and dark wood. It's all capped off by a roaring, appreciative suburban crowd. The menu is the Big Easy made simple with fried and blackened foods--and massive portions. The fried seafood is a popular choice, followed by the catch of the day. Pappadeaux's mild exotica comes in the form of gator tail and whole boiled crayfish.

Good Food HUGE Portions Busy Place

by eustexas

Wonder why we're such a corpulent population - restaurants serving huge portions of good food, like this, who can diet? Excellent appetizers, outstanding bisque for us soup lovers; entrees so large that next time we'll order just one and split it. Desserts looked good but we were stuffed.

• Pros: food, expansive menu, popular
• Cons: crowded, loud

Pappadeaux

by tadenmark

Pretty good seafood for not being on the coast. The breading is not overbearing on the fried seafood and the seasoning is traditionally cajun. Good food but a little pricey for what you get.
