    Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen, located on the southern end of the GRB outside of Hall E, doesn’t just know great seafood, it’s their passion. They go to any depths to bring the finest quality seafood available, all year round. If you’re new to the exciting flavors of the Vieux Carré, then you’re in for a great dining experience. Pappadeaux’s skilled chefs create menus using some of the most exciting flavors and best ingredients in American cuisine.

    To say we’re obsessed with freshness is an understatement. Since opening our doors, Pappadeaux has been the epitome of delicious seafood. We’ve been on a mission to shorten the time between when a product is caught and when it arrives in our kitchens. We own and operate our own fleet of delivery trucks, and we’re constantly refining our distribution system. This allows us to deliver fresh seafood directly from the docks to our restaurants daily. Our menus change more often than almost anyone in the business, ensuring only the freshest, most seasonal selections find their way to your plate. And that’s not just seafood — that goes for produce and even the sauces that we make from scratch every day right on the line.

    Innovation has always been at the heart of our never-ending pursuit of loyal, happy Guests. Our chefs are constantly trying new dishes and refining old favorites. Much of our testing is done in live, working Pappadeaux kitchens, allowing us to get immediate Guest feedback on what’s a new hit and what needs more work. As tastes and trends change, so do we; bringing not only new flavors and combinations to classic dishes but also fresh culinary inventions that delight and satisfy our biggest fans as well as our newest Guests.

    Of course, none of this would matter if it weren’t combined with excellent service in a comfortable and fun atmosphere. Huge portions, hand-crafted drinks, and a friendly, expertly-trained staff are all hallmarks of the Pappadeaux experience. From shore to dock, prep table to dining room table, the name Pappadeaux has become synonymous with fresh, delicious seafood served in a fun, festive atmosphere that you can’t find anywhere else.
