Fried Alligator Tail appetizer was outstanding. Absolutely loved the Wild Caught Gulf Grouper with Lump Crab, Shrimp and Spaghetti Squash. Its preparation was spot-on with the perfect amount of spice to compliment each item. It was a bit pricey; but, I would definitely get it again.

Good atmosphere and good service. Got the seafood platter and alligator bites and they were fresh. They where made to order. The server was quick and even gave us a freebie dessert. I highly recommend trying this place out. Request a window table and enjoy your meal with natural sunlight. Dessert was good and was presented with a cheesecake. Prices will be high but expect that from a good place.

The food was delicious and drinks were on point! The 4lb lobster 🦞 is massive. It comes served over pasta. We had a party of 10. The service was decent but could be better. The empty glasses weren't removed and just made more clutter on a busy table.

Omg the food is delicious. We had a lady named Karma as our waitress and she gave us the best service ever. Everything is made from scratch so you do have a bit of waiting for your food but is so worth it. The place is big has enough sitting and the tables are well spaced out to where you don't feel crowded.

Very delicious food a family favorite. A very clean place inside and out. Most of all Nick at this Pharr location was the best , if you go you must request him .

Can’t go wrong with this whole restaurant franchise. I have never been disappointed no matter what city I visit them in. During this visit the staff was exceptional. They were on cue with all requests to the point we were wondering if they were right around the corner just waiting on us to need something. The food was exceptional as well. We ordered a 6lb lobster that we named Henry. Henry came out in several plates due to his size. Henry was enjoyed by all and had plenty of leftovers. Henry will forever be remembered. I definitely recommend and will visit again. Next time maybe Henry Jr. will be available.

Expensive but prolly the place for good seafood options. Service has always been attentive and professional. I will say food is more on the salty side so definitely attention this to your waiters about easing of the salt if your on a low sodium diet. The crispy salmon and scallop entree was great!!! Been awhile I had salmon that tasty and the scallops were on point. Seafood Cobb salad all time favorite.

I have nothing bad to say about Pappadeux. This place is heaven when it comes to seafood, and I'm not a big seafood person. I had the gator, catfish, and shrimp wrapped in beacon, to die for. The their french bread! Best bread I've had anywhere. It had a slightly crunchy outside with a soft interior. Wow. Take it up a notch by adding the butter to it.

Amazing dining service!! My first time coming here with my family and all the dishes looked amazing. Our waiter was helpful and patient in helping us with the menu options. Prices were listed decently according to the seafood offered. Best part was the brownie dessert. I would definitely come here again for special occasions!

First time at this restaurant. Food was good, virgin piña colada perfect. I’d definitely recommend the fondeaux as an appetizer. If you don’t eat much then don’t get an appetizer. The food portion is big, expect to pay over $100 for two meals including an appetizer, two dinner plates, drinks and a dessert. Dessert was great too, crème brûlée was perfect. Casual or business casual attire. It is family friendly ish… I saw maybe one kid but I’d say it felt more like an environment for adults.

Great experience at this location! Food was fresh and delicious. Appetizers were also great! Calamari hit the spot! Hope to be back soon!

Unfortunately we don't have a Pappadeauxs in my hometown so it's always a treat when I'm in a city that has one. They never disappoint. It's always a fine dining experience with phenomenal cuisine.

Can't go wrong here! Got the Cobb salad with shrimp and crab meat, and it always delivers! Salad is a tad pricey at $27. I think it was $15+ a few years ago, but it's worth having it once in a while. I use the Greek dressing on it instead of the sweet one it comes with. Freshness here is always on point! Highly recommended it for special occasions or just to grab a noce lunch/dinnner.

Everything was great, good service nice server. The food was delicious! I ordered the lobster 🦞 tail with dirty rice and brocolini and my husband the fried seafood platter. To be honest I loved the fried seafood better, stuffed shrimp and stuffed crab were soooo tasty!

Food was on point. Salmon melted in our mouths and the filet mignon was bomb. Our server, Freddie, was polite and attentive. Coming back again for sure

Pappadeaux in Pharr is a good seafood chain restaurant. There is always a bright cheerful ambiance which is wonderful. Customer service is excellent. I usually order Shrimp and Grits, it's so flavorful and detectable. Pappadeaux has an extensive menu. Their entire dessert menu is amazing! I usually order the Key Lime Pie and Creme Brûlée- both are scrumptious. Parking is never a problem. It's in a great location.

I honestly expected it to be better. In my opinion, it seemed average. I have had better tasting shrimp at other restaurants and the fries were such a disappointment. The waitress was very nice.

Loved the food. Cheese stuffed, bacon wrapped shrimp on a bed of dirty rice. Super flavorful, mouth watering dish. Certainly a new favorite. The popcorn crawfish salad is delicious. Creamy salad dressing on plenty of mixed greens and topped with plenty of fried tails. If you are going to have a salad for your entree, this one is it. Also a heartfelt thank you to the best waitress there, Mirian. She gave us fantastic service and she is an overall delight to talk with.

Waitress was nice, friendly and very attentive, good customer service. Had the Papadeux platter, was good but was warm as if it had been sitting there for a bit to long. Had the alligator for an appetizer, was delicious with the sauce it was served with. Over all food was good.

Amazing service, spectacular food, fantastic atmosphere! Will most definitely be dining in this fine establishment again. 5 stars all around! Update: The very next morning after dinner had food poisoning... Can't argue it was from other source as I hadn't had anything to eat prior to meal here. Don't know if source was catfish, crawfish, oysters, shrimp, stuffed shrimp, or stuffed crab. Regardless, this establishment went from 5 stars to zero. Will never go there again, wouldn't recommend to anyone.

The service was good. Friendly staff. We ordered the fried shrimp and fries. The shrimp was good, the fries could have used some seasoning. Pretty pricey as well.

I took my wife to Pappadeaux for our Anniversary, it wasn't my first choice, but because our first choice gave us no service, we opted to come here. The place was filled, with only a few tables available. Once seated, my wife ordered a Pina colada and I ordered my usual unsweetened tea, we also ordered Calamari for an appetizer. When our server brought the Calamari we then placed our order. First, the Greek salad for two, my wife ordered the tenderloin steak with a baked potato and broccolini. I ordered the blackened Salmon with Shrimp, Scallops, and crawfish. Trying the calamari, it was rubbery and the breading was falling off as we ate it, tho the tomato sauce that came with it was pretty good. Then came the salad which was dressed and served table side. It was a very good salad and I loved the capers and olives. I was looking for the Greek peppers but none were included. After the salad came the massive plates of our entrees. My Salmon looked awesome and was cooked on point, so was the Shrimp and Scallops, and the sauce was absolutely delicious. It paired so wonderfully with the rice. It was called dirty rice but it lacked the traditional chicken livers that made this rice so famous. My wife's steak came with a huge baked potato and a big pile of perfectly cooked broccolini but her steak was way undercooked. I tried to wave a server down to take the steak and recook it, I then went to both arms waving, trying to get a server's attention. One waitress looked at me waving but ignored me, probably because I was not her table. I kept waving, a kitchen manager (I assume) walked by but didn't see me. Luckily a guest two tables down got his attention for me. He then came over to our table, he offered to do a new steak but I knew it would take to long. Instead we put the steak on a small plate so he could cook it again. I shared my plate with my wife so she could continue to enjoy our Anniversary dinner together. When he returned my wife's eyes just beamed with contentment when she saw how cooked it looked. The way to avoid this is, the server should have asked my wife to please cut into the steak, thus ensuring it has been properly cooked before leaving the table, or at least return promptly to check and see if it was cooked to her linking. We also had asked for bread, it arrived halfway through the meal. Our server did do a good job of keeping my tea glass full. The experience started out great but fell short on service and execution during the entree part of it. We did get to choose a free dessert for our Anniversary, that was nice. We opted for the Key Lime pie, we took it to go. Too stuffed to eat another bite. Honestly Folks, I liked my Salmon plate so much, I ordered extra sauce halfway through, and I left my plate completely wiped clean. I used the bread that finally arrived to clean every bit of the sauce on the plate. Feels weird writing about me pigging out, but it is true as true can get. I look forward to my next visit.

Made a reservation for 10+ people. Service was stellar with Tony as main point person. Appetizers of calamari and fondue were recommended and we are glad we listened to the advice because it was a delicious way to start our meals. The bread is fresh and light. All individuals were satisfied with their meals. There was plenty of room for comfortable seating. I personally had the grouper and took bites of the American Snapper. Both were exceptional.

Great place to have a family dinner. A little bit busy, slightly loud, but the food is consistent and the wait staff is kind. If you just want to spend a nice Sunday afternoon with family have a drink or two and some great food I would highly suggest this destination.

I love this restaurant. The food is fresh and delicious. My favorite is the Cobb salad with salmon, which at medium rare is divine. The ambiance is perfect for a family dinner, although if your family members are hearing impaired, it can get very loud & difficult to hear. The staff are incredibly professional and friendly. Despite being very busy today, they did a decent job of keeping our drinks filled. The kitchen made my food incorrectly but it was still delicious. I have to say that I was disappointed that they did not try to make it right in some way; that is why this is a 4 star instead of a 5 star review. PS - Please bring back the banana pudding. It was one of our favorites!

Food is always great here, super delicious! The staff was very accommodating. My wife and I arrived at about 2pm, hostess said it would be a 30-40 min wait for table outside... no one was sitting outside so needed a server basically. We went sit down outside to wait and a table was made available before we even sat down. Server didn't see us at first as we sat on other side of fountain... about 10 minutes later he, Adrian, did find us, apologized, and let us know we were getting a dessert on the house. Adrian was super attentive, friendly, and provided excellent service.
