Cajun places rarely serve wine. Creole? yes.

I haven't been able to find it anywhere, but is this place open on Sundays? Been thinking I might try today since some other plans came up yesterday.
Can't find their hours posted anywhere. Did find their phone number: (979) 260-9500
Location is cursed!

I went with a group of 7 for lunch yesterday and ordered the lunch portion of crawfish touffe. It was 6 bites of food in a bowl. That was the serving size others received as well.
Change the price and make it a real portion of food or add a cheap side with it. I'd be surprised if my serving was 4oz including the very tasty grits.
I understand lunch portions are smaller, but I was hungry when I left the restaurant. I will not go back.

But I agree with you, the lunch portion was tiny and I was surprised when it came out. I regretted not ordering the dinner portion because it was delicious. They should throw in a side salad or something.

Yeah, Pappadeaux's menu is more expensive than places like Razoo's or Swamp Tail's. On the plus side, Pappadeaux hands out lots of food.
More to the point, Pappadeaux "hands out" very high quality food...and also offer a diverse menu for those who want to eat in a manner less reminiscent of GoCo.
Can't wait for them to arrive.

Glad you're keeping track, techno.

How long do you want to ignore this user?

Me and wife split an entree there and some times some fried gator to go with it

Since we're playing the "Let's compare" game, Razzoo's College Station location has now posted their menu, so you can see what will be on offer, and how prices compare to Swamp Tails.
Got a tour of Razoo's last night. It looks fantasticthey did a great job renovating the place. The management was extremely friendly and wanted to feed us but we had just eaten dinner. I'm not a big fan of fried food/Cajun food but it will still be a great place to go grab drinks at. Can't wait.
I'll admit Razoo's price point is certainly lower than Pappadeaux's.
Different food and different target demographics.

Being someone who lived in south Louisiana for 15 years, Pappdeauxs is very over priced and very bland to be called Cajun food. While the food usually has good taste, if a place says Cajun, then it should be spicy.

God I wish Heberts would come back.
quote:Their logo just says "Seafood Kitchen", and there are lots of dishes that reflect that. Like halibut, tuna, snow crab, lobster, and others that would not be considered cajun per se. Their cajun dishes don't seem to have a lot of spice as originally prepared, although various "hot sauces" are readily available to season to taste. This style probably caters to the general masses that don't care for a lot of spiciness.quote:In addition to seafood, they have a whole lot of cajun dishes on their menu.quote:Is pappadeaux supposed to be Cajun?

That's why God made Tabasco.
I've never thought of Pappadeaux as the kind of place that gratuitously tosses piles of Tony Chachere's spice mix on everything to cover up the taste of cheap and badly prepared food. I guess some folks would prefer that though.

Have you tried Remnants of Nawlins? It's good.

Really miss that place. Use to eat it 2x a week on the way to class. Gumbo and touffe were delicious.

The DEAUX on Pappdeauxs name implies to most people that it's a Cajun seafood place... just like SITOS implies that Pappasitos is a Mexican restaurant.
Just as Amico Nave isn't "Italian" but a family's spin on Italian, so is Pappadeaux to Cajun/Creole.
