Now let me tell you. Some the best food I have ever eaten. It is a bit pricy because their seafood is flown in everyday, but you will not be disappointed. Be careful, some of the food is spicy. So ask about it before you order. They close at 9pm.

Arriving in Albuquerque in time for lunch and seeking seafood, we were thrilled with our lunch. Their lunch portions are still very filling. We shared the Lunch Mixed Seafood Grill over Dirty Rice and a side salad. The restaurant split the dishes for us making a delightful lunch. Waitstaff was very efficient and friendly. Delicious seafood.

The food is amazing! The craw fish combo is large enough for two, unless your very hungry. The etoufe was a little too salty, not sure if that is how etoufe is supposed to be. The other two fish dish is very good! When eating fish got to be careful on the possibility of some bones.

Every time we come to town this is the spot! I was super impressed with their ability to accommodate me. I am unable have certain items and so the manager came and spoke with me to see exactly what I could eat. The food was cooked perfectly and that was the biggest fish I have seen in awhile! The waiter was never letting our drinks run dry! I absolutely love this place from the food to the atmosphere! I am hoping one day we will have one in NV!

Its been years that we ate at Pappadeaux. The service was great, kept the water glass full. The craw fish etofe was just a little too salty for me, not sure if that is how etofe is suppose to be. Been years that I had etofe. No matter that you select from the menu, its all good.

Visiting from El Paso. One of my favorite places to dine and a must stop before leaving town. We went during lunch on Sunday, wait was less than 15 minutes. Our waitress Kenny was knowledgeable and attentive. We had the following dishes. For our appetizer we had the Fried Alligator, no complaints! Dipping sauce is the Bomb. We ordered the meduim which was not a large serving, barely enough for two. My friend had the Shrimp and Grits. Ok, being from the South the Corn Kernals is not needed, it doesn't have a purpose in the grits. The sauce is like a BBQ, but she said it was tasteful, along with nice size shrimp. I had the Mississippi Catfish w/Shrimp Etouffe,  Delicious!!!! The dish was so flavourful and a nice serving for lunch.

My husband and I visited this restaurant 4 times in the last week and half. Why go anywhere else when you find perfection here. Management was great! Staff was great, especially Zeke, Melanie, and Maddie. The food was amazing— we tried several dishes: fried shrimp, fried oysters, seafood salad, filet Oscar, and a seafood pasta dish. This is our second year traveling across country, and this is the overall best restaurant.

Our server Ryan S. greeted us in a way that made us feel very welcome. He was enthusiastic about doing his job and did not make us feel like serving us was a burden. All in all, our server and food were wonderful.

Restaurant was well kept and clean. Our waiter Janie was professional and very friendly.

Great food almost no wait time. Friendly knowledgeable staff. Had to wait for refill of water though.
