Amazing food! I thought it was vegetarian and was so surprised to find out it was totally vegan and gluten-free! I truly didn’t miss anything. Packed with flavours and spices. Cute decor. Was a little hard to find but totally worth it. Great place. Highly recommend and we’ll be back.

My boyfriend and I chose this restaurant, despite its distance from our gate, precisely because of the reviews. Our gate is at Gate C, and we walked to Gate E, where Pappadeaux is located. Airport restaurants usually have the worst ratings, but this place has 4.5 stars, and after visiting it, I understand why. First, their service is some of the best I've ever received. They took the time to cook our dish two different ways, since my boyfriend is allergic to gluten. They were always attentive to us, even though the place was packed. The food was quite delicious, highly recommended!

CJ was fantastic! Service was fantastic, food was great. Never had an empty glass! Frozen margarita with tajin and sangria - great! Gluten free options!

My party and I had a wonderful experience, especially thanks to our server Brian. My boyfriend has a gluten allergy and trying to find a place with gluten-free options or people who are knowledgeable of a gluten-free diet is always a challenge. I told Brian ahead of time that our table had a gluten allergy and he told us to go ahead, select our options and he would see what he could do. We ordered an assortment of nigiri, three rolls, the ceviche, grilled shishito peppers, house made seaweed salad - all of which Brian made sure could be modified into a gluten-free version and were still so delicious! We were so pleasantly surprised to hear his expertise on the ingredients in each dish. I could tell how attentive he was being throughout the night as he brought us our dessert bowls before we had the chance to order, it felt like he was reading our minds. The kakigori and green tea soufflé cake were also gluten-free and were a lovely touch to end the night on. We’re still raving about the amazing experience today and it wouldn’t have been the same without him. Thank you so much! :)

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.
