My sister and brother in law came to visit and since he is a Cajun, we decided to give Pappadeaux a try. When we arrived at 5:33 pm on Sunday 2/22/09 we were told a 30 to 40 min wait (as unless you have 6 or more in your party you can't make a reservation). This was not a big deal. So the Hostess was correct, at 6:03 pm we were seated. Now is where the problem began. Our service was horrible. The waitress came to the table about 5 min or so after were seated, we then ordered our drinks and waited another 5-7 min to get them. She then came to the table to take our order. I ordered the Crawfish Platter with a cup of Crawfish Bisque. My sister ordered Boudin and crab cakes. When the food arrived....1 HOUR AFTER we ordered, my Bisque was never delivered, the Boudin that my sister ordered left a nasty after taste and wasn't fully cooked. The waitress never came back to see if we were ok, or needed anything or to make sure our food was correct. As we sat there eating, we drank all of our beverages and had to stop a busboy (not sure if that is now the correct term) to see about getting refills. He refilled the sweet teas (I had unsweet) and then got called to other duties (which this wasn't his job so that was fine), however, our waitress took another 5 min or so to get there to see that I needed a refill. At this point she finally asked about the food, which we sent back the Boudin and got boxes for the rest. She came back to the table to declare that she had to wait for the Mgr to remove the Boudin from the check. She finally came back with the check and we paid and left. The food itself was fantastic (other than the Boudin). Total time for this meal (wait to be seated, wait for food, eating, wait for check) was over 2 hours. Do NOT go if you don't have time to burn.
Pros: Taste, Food, Selection,
Cons: Wait time for being served, Service itself,
