Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen

I stopped into Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen in Terminal A for dinner before my flight, and it turned out to be a great dining experience. The ambience was nice for an airport restaurant, and the service was great from the moment I walked in. As someone with celiac disease, eating out can often be stressful, but the staff here took my dietary restrictions incredibly seriously. The hostess immediately provided a gluten-free menu, though limited (minus one star), it was helpful, and went a step further by letting me know that the manager would be over shortly to review my options with me. The manager was thorough, attentive, and reassuring, walking me through the safest choices and discussing how they handle cross-contamination in the kitchen. After talking things through, I decided on the grilled salmon chopped salad. The portion was generous, the ingredients fresh, and the flavor absolutely delicious. Paired with a Swamp Thing, which was equally amazing, it ended up being an airport meal to remember. It was so good that I actually forgot to take my usual food photos. Just trust me on this one! Most importantly, I didn’t get sick, which speaks volumes about their gluten-free handling and attention to detail. If this salad was that good, I can only imagine how delicious the full menu must be. For anyone with dietary restrictions, Pappadeaux in Terminal A is worth the stop!

Best dfw airport meal ever. They made me naked salmon baked in the oven to avoid gluten and dairy cross contamination, along with perfectly cooked green beans and asparagus. My husband enjoyed the Greek salad with shrimp, and my MIL raved about the salmon with white wine cream sauce. They also really enjoyed the pumpkin spice cheesecake. Excellent service, too.
