Food was excellent. You order at the counter but there are lots of table to sit down and relax and doesn't feel like a fast food at all. Gluten-free menu so was awesome for my son who is celiac. Would definitely recommend
I recently visited Pappadeaux’s in downtown Houston with high expectations, especially given my dietary restrictions (gluten-free). As a seafood restaurant, I anticipated a variety of options, but was disappointed to find only a small menu available for gluten-free diners. I chose the trout with mashed potatoes and sautéed spinach, while my wife ordered roasted oysters, as they didn’t have Oysters Rockefeller. I was surprised that a seafood place didn’t offer Oysters Rockefeller—it's such a classic dish.
The service, however, was outstanding. The management and our server went above and beyond to ensure my dietary needs were accommodated, and I truly appreciated their efforts.
Unfortunately, the food arrived lukewarm, which led to us sending it back for reheating. After traveling all the way from Alabama to try Pappadeaux’s, I felt let down by the overall experience. While the service was top-notch (a solid 10 for effort), the food didn’t meet expectations, so I’d rate it a 5 due to my dietary limitations.
Overall, I’d give the experience a 6. Would I return? I’m not sure.
Stuffed avocado was good. I would love to try the stuffed breakfast avocado! 🥑 Variety of pastries and treats that are gluten and dairy free. Aesthetically pleasing setup. Will return!
