PAPPADEAUX SEAFOOD KITCHEN REVIEWS

Great service, great food. Our waitress was on point. Alligator bites were delicious. We were there for lunch so we ordered off the lunch menu…portions are big & we left with to go boxes as well. I had the stuffed crab and being from PA/MD area, they were very good knowing crab cakes are hard to compare to Maryland style. Highly recommend.

I always enjoy a dinner at this establishment. The consistency is there with the food and they have good cocktails. My last visit to them was off to a rocky start which may have been bad timing on our part as a shift change may have been occurring. But our delay in initial service was more than made up for by the exemplary service provided by Kaelin M. She really stepped in there with a bubbly demeanor and efficient execution of her duties that more than made up for any prior inconvenience. Will be back again.

It took a long time before our waiter came to out table. But once he finally did Aiden was pretty good . Food came out quick and was delicious. We were here for my birthday dinner.. Will definitely return.

BUCK & RIDER REVIEWS

Celebrated our 11 year anniversary here. Just an amazing experience. Hands down some of the best food we’ve had anywhere. From the fried calamari, that was exquisitely complimented with a vinegar sauce, to the steak and lobster tail which was perfectly cooked, we enjoyed the whole meal. They’re exceptionally fast with service and the staff is friendly. A must if you’re in Phoenix.

What an experience! The food was absolutely magnificent! The service was top-notch! The visit overall was just absolutely perfect! Valet parking… Great ambience! Coupled with everything that can go right on date night! We had a blast! Thank you so much, Team … Wonderful job.

We took my Brother and Sister-in-law for his Birthday. Service was excellent. Food was delicious. Ambiance was perfect! We started with the Camelback Seafood Platter! Awesome! Gluten-free crab cakes were divine! Best ever.
