Pappadeaux publishes restaurant-specific menus instead of one national price list.

Always select the restaurant you plan to visit before relying on the final total.
Pappadeaux Menu Prices: Quick Snapshot
Pappadeaux sits above fast-casual seafood pricing because many dishes use fresh fish, shellfish, jumbo lump crab, crawfish, oysters and premium steak cuts. Appetizers can cost as much as a lower-priced entrée, while signature fresh-fish plates often move into the $30 to $50 range. Fried seafood gives diners more mid-range options, especially catfish, shrimp and crawfish. For other seafood chains, browse the Seafood menu section.
| Menu category | Representative price | Typical order |
|---|---|---|
| Appetizers | $15.95–$34.95 | Shrimp cocktail, calamari, gator bites, dips, oysters and crab cake |
| Gumbo & Salads | $8.95–$31.95 | Gumbo, house salad, Caesar, Greek, chopped and seafood salads |
| Cajun Specialties | $24.95–$36.95 | Etouffee, Pasta Mardi Gras, brochette and catfish |
| Fresh Seafood | $25.95–$50.95 | Salmon, trout, redfish, snapper, grouper and composed seafood plates |
| Fried Seafood | $14.95–$45.95 | Shrimp, oysters, crawfish, catfish and combination platters |
| Steak & Lobster | $55.95–$64.95+ | Filet mignon, ribeye, Oscar-style filet and market-priced lobster |
| Sides | $5.95–$8.95 | Dirty rice, fries, vegetables, potatoes, grits and garlic bread |
| Desserts | $11.99–$14.95 | Cheesecake, key lime pie, brownie and location-specific sweets |
The biggest budget split is between fried seafood and chef-driven fresh-fish entrées. A fried catfish or crawfish dinner can stay in the low-to-upper $20s, while redfish, snapper and premium crab-topped fish can move well above $40. Steak is priced closer to a full-service steakhouse than a seafood add-on. The broader Menus archive gives context for full-service restaurant pricing outside seafood.
Pappadeaux Appetizer Prices
Pappadeaux appetizers are substantial and often designed for sharing. Seafood-heavy choices such as Shrimp & Crawfish Fondeaux, Fruits de Mer and Oven-Baked Crab Cake cost much more than a basic fried starter. Hot Honey Glazed Gator Bites and grilled octopus sit in the middle. If you are ordering several appetizers for the table, the starter portion of the bill can easily approach entrée pricing.
| Appetizer | Representative price | Menu note |
|---|---|---|
| Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail | $17.95 | Chilled shrimp with cocktail sauce |
| Fried Calamari & Octopus | $19.95–$28.95 | Medium and large portions |
| Hot Honey Glazed Gator Bites | $20.95 | Gator with Tabasco mash, pickles and peanuts |
| Crab & Spinach Dip | $22.95 | Served with Parmesan crostini |
| Shrimp & Crawfish Fondeaux | $24.95 | Rich seafood dip with garlic bread |
| Grilled Octopus | $25.95 | Creole potato salad and chimichurri |
| Fruits de Mer | $33.95 | Shrimp, oysters and crab fingers |
| Oven-Baked Crab Cake | $34.95 | Jumbo lump crab with lemon caper butter |
Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail is one of the simpler ways to start the meal, while the crab cake is one of the most expensive appetizers. Fondeaux offers a stronger sharing value if several diners want a rich seafood starter. Calamari pricing depends on portion size, which makes the larger order better suited to a group. Compare this section with the Red Lobster menu if appetizer pricing is a major part of the decision.
Gumbo, Soup and Salad Prices
Gumbo is a core part of the Pappadeaux menu, with shrimp, crab, mixed seafood and andouille versions depending on the location. Cup and bowl sizing creates a clear price ladder. Salads range from simple house and Caesar sides to full entrée salads topped with chicken, shrimp, salmon, crawfish or jumbo lump crab. This makes the section useful both as a starter and as a full meal.
| Soup or salad | Representative price | Menu style |
|---|---|---|
| Louisiana Shrimp Gumbo | $10.95–$14.95 | Cup or bowl |
| Louisiana Seafood Gumbo | $12.95–$17.95 | Shrimp and crab |
| Andouille Sausage & Seafood Gumbo | $13.95–$18.95 | Shrimp, crab and sausage |
| Pappadeaux House Salad | $8.95 | Side salad with bacon and aged cheddar |
| Classic Caesar | $9.95 | Romaine, croutons and Parmesan |
| Pappas Greek Salad | $17.95 | Vegetables, olives, capers and feta |
| Caesar with Grilled Shrimp | $24.95 | Entrée salad with shrimp |
| Seafood Cobb with Shrimp & Crab | $31.95 | Premium seafood entrée salad |
A gumbo cup is the most economical way to add Cajun flavor without committing to a full entrée. Seafood Cobb Salad moves into premium entrée territory because of the shrimp and jumbo lump crab. House and Caesar salads are better viewed as side dishes at their base price. If you want a cheaper quick-service seafood comparison, see the Captain D’s menu.
Cajun Specialty Prices
The Cajun specialties section is where Pappadeaux’s Louisiana identity is strongest. Crawfish and shrimp etouffee are served over rice, Pasta Mardi Gras combines seafood and andouille in a tomato cream sauce, and Jumbo Shrimp Brochette adds bacon, cheese and jalapeño. Blackened catfish is usually one of the lower-priced dinner entrées in this group. The section is less expensive than many premium fresh-fish plates but still feels like a full-service dinner.
| Cajun specialty | Representative price | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Blackened Catfish | $24.95 | Blackened catfish with white rice |
| Grilled Half Chicken | $28.95 | Garlic-rosemary chicken with vegetables and potato puree |
| Crawfish Etouffee | $30.95 | Crawfish in etouffee sauce over white rice |
| Shrimp Etouffee | $30.95 | Shrimp in etouffee sauce over white rice |
| Jumbo Shrimp Brochette | $31.95 | Bacon-wrapped shrimp with cheese, jalapeño and dirty rice |
| Crawfish Platter | $31.95 | Fried crawfish with crawfish etouffee |
| Pasta Mardi Gras | $36.95 | Crawfish, andouille sausage, shrimp, mushrooms and cream sauce |
Blackened catfish offers one of the better entrée values for diners who want seafood without paying fresh-snapper or filet prices. Etouffee and brochette sit in the low $30s, while Pasta Mardi Gras is the most expensive of the common Cajun plates shown here. Portions and ingredients make these closer to complete meals than side-sized Cajun samplers. The Popeyes menu is useful only as a fast-food Louisiana-style contrast, not as a direct dining comparison.
Fresh Seafood and Chef Selection Prices
Fresh fish is where Pappadeaux reaches its highest seafood prices. The restaurant pairs redfish, grouper, salmon, snapper and trout with shrimp, scallops, crab, vegetables, rice and rich sauces. “Naked” preparations are simpler and usually cheaper than composed dishes topped with crab or multiple shellfish. Fish selection also varies more by location than fried seafood.
| Fresh seafood entrée | Representative price | Menu note |
|---|---|---|
| Naked Trout | $25.95 | Pan-grilled trout with green beans and almonds |
| Rainbow Trout & Jumbo Crab | $30.95 | Blackened trout with shrimp and lump crab |
| Naked Salmon | $33.95 | Grilled salmon with broccolini |
| Naked Redfish | $37.95 | Grilled redfish with buttered potatoes |
| Naked Grouper | $39.95 | Pan-grilled grouper with carrots and pistachios |
| Mississippi Catfish Opelousas | $41.95 | Catfish with oysters, shrimp, crab and dirty rice |
| Atlantic Salmon Alexander | $43.95 | Salmon with shrimp, scallops and crawfish |
| Texas Redfish Pontchartrain | $46.95 | Redfish with crab, shrimp and brown-butter wine sauce |
| Wild-Caught Snapper & Shrimp | $50.95 | Snapper, shrimp and jumbo lump crab |
The price jump from naked fish to composed seafood is mostly driven by additional shellfish and crab. A simple trout or salmon order can save more than ten dollars compared with crab-topped redfish or snapper. Premium fresh fish also varies by season and restaurant, so exact availability matters. For another full-service seafood benchmark, compare the Red Lobster menu.
Fried Seafood and Platter Prices
Fried seafood gives Pappadeaux a wider price spread than its fresh-fish menu. Individual stuffed crab or stuffed shrimp pieces can be added in smaller counts, while full shrimp, crawfish, oyster and catfish dinners sit in the $20s. Combination platters move into the $30s and $40s because they combine several seafood types. French fries are included with many fried seafood orders.
| Fried seafood | Representative price | Portion or format |
|---|---|---|
| Cajun Chicken Tenderloins | $15.95–$21.95 | Medium or large |
| Stuffed Shrimp | $14.95–$25.95 | Two or four pieces |
| Stuffed Crab | $16.95–$25.95 | Two or three pieces |
| Crawfish Dinner | $21.95–$28.95 | Medium or large |
| Fried Shrimp | $23.95–$28.95 | Small or medium |
| Catfish Fillets | $24.95–$29.95 | Three or four fillets |
| Shrimp & Catfish Fillets | $31.95 | Combination dinner |
| Sampler Platter | $36.95 | Catfish, shrimp, crawfish and chicken |
| Seafood Platter | $41.95 | Catfish, shrimp, oysters, stuffed shrimp and crab |
| Pappadeaux Platter | $45.95 | Seafood platter with extra shrimp and crawfish |
The Pappadeaux Platter is the expensive end of fried seafood but includes a broad mix of items for someone who wants variety. Smaller shrimp or crawfish dinners cost much less and avoid paying for items you may not want. Stuffed crab and stuffed shrimp also provide lower-ticket seafood options when ordered in smaller counts. For a quick-service fried-fish comparison, see the Long John Silver’s menu.
Steak and Lobster Prices
Pappadeaux is seafood-first, but many full-service locations also carry premium steaks and live lobster. The steak prices are closer to a dedicated steakhouse than to a casual seafood add-on. Filet Mignon Oscar costs more because it adds jumbo lump crab and a cream sauce. Live Maine Lobster can be market-priced rather than listed with a fixed number.
| Steak or lobster | Representative price | Menu note |
|---|---|---|
| Filet Mignon | $55.95 | 10 oz. filet with potato choice and broccolini |
| Aged Beef Ribeye | $55.95 | 16 oz. ribeye with potato choice and broccolini |
| Filet Mignon Oscar | $64.95 | 10 oz. filet with jumbo lump crab and cream sauce |
| Live Maine Lobster | Market price | Steamed lobster sold by weight at participating locations |
Filet and ribeye are priced almost identically on representative restaurant menus, so the choice is more about cut than savings. Oscar preparation adds roughly nine dollars because of the jumbo lump crab and sauce. Market-priced lobster requires a same-day restaurant check. If steak is the main reason for the meal, compare the LongHorn Steakhouse menu or Texas Roadhouse menu.
Pappadeaux Lunch Menu
Many full-service Pappadeaux restaurants publish a separate lunch menu with fried seafood, fresh seafood, soups, salads and po-boys. Lunch is useful for diners who want a smaller portion or lower check than a full dinner plate. Exact lunch dishes vary by restaurant, and airport menus may not follow the same structure. Some private-dining locations also publish fixed-price group lunch menus.
Representative banquet lunch menus show two-course and three-course formats built around Pappadeaux Salad, seafood entrées and dessert. Standard restaurant lunch menus are more flexible and can include catfish, shrimp, seafood combinations, salads and sandwiches. Because lunch pricing is especially location-specific, it is better to compare the selected store than copy one city’s prices nationwide. The permanent menu page focuses on recurring categories rather than short promotions.
For deal-oriented searches, use the fixed Pappadeaux Happy Hour page rather than treating temporary offers as standard menu pricing. That keeps lunch structure, dinner prices and short-term specials separate. If your goal is value, compare lunch against a smaller fried seafood dinner and not only against premium fresh fish. The best option depends on portion size and what is included.
Pappadeaux Kids Menu Prices
Pappadeaux has a dedicated kids menu at participating locations. The official ordering menu shows simple entrées such as buttered noodles, fried shrimp and fried catfish, with grilled options at some restaurants. Kids seafood prices are much lower than the adult dinner plates because portions are smaller and the preparations are simpler. Side choices commonly include fries or green beans.
| Kids item | Representative price | Menu format |
|---|---|---|
| Parmesan Buttered Noodles | $7.95 | Simple pasta entrée |
| Fried Shrimp | $9.95 | Kid-size seafood with side |
| Fried Catfish | $9.95 | Kid-size catfish with side |
| Grilled Seafood Entrée | Location-based | Available on selected kids menus |
Buttered noodles are the lowest-cost kids choice shown on the representative ordering menu. Fried shrimp and catfish cost a little more but still stay far below adult seafood entrées. Grilled selections can vary more by restaurant and may not appear everywhere. Check the local kids menu if a specific seafood preparation matters.
Pappadeaux Side Prices
Side dishes are relatively consistent across many Pappadeaux restaurants even when entrées vary. Dirty rice is one of the cheapest à la carte choices, while vegetables and potatoes often sit near nine dollars. Garlic bread falls between those two groups. Premium airport pricing can push several sides closer to ten dollars.
| Side | Representative price | Menu note |
|---|---|---|
| Dirty Rice | $5.95 | Cajun-style rice side |
| Garlic Bread | $7.95 | Oven-baked bread |
| French Fries | $8.95 | Standard fried seafood side |
| Broccolini | $8.95 | Vegetable side |
| Fresh Green Beans & Almonds | $8.95 | Vegetable side |
| Sautéed Spinach | $8.95 | Cooked greens |
| Red Beans & Rice | $8.95 | Louisiana-style side |
| Buttered Potatoes | $8.95 | Potato side |
| Buttered Heirloom Grits | $8.95 | Grits side |
Dirty rice is the easiest low-cost add-on and fits naturally with Cajun entrées. Vegetables and potatoes cost more but can replace heavier fried sides. If an entrée already includes rice, potatoes or fries, ordering another side may not add much variety for the price. Check the exact entrée description before adding extra sides.
Pappadeaux Dessert Prices
Desserts vary more by location than the core seafood categories, but cheesecake and key lime pie are common recurring options. Some restaurants also list Turtle Fudge Brownie and Sweet Potato Pecan Pie. Airport pricing can be lower or higher depending on the specific dessert and location. A dessert typically adds around twelve to fifteen dollars before tax and tip.
| Dessert | Representative price | Menu style |
|---|---|---|
| Vanilla Cheesecake | $11.99–$14.95 | Served with fresh strawberries |
| Key Lime Pie | $11.99–$13.95 | Graham cracker pecan crust |
| Turtle Fudge Brownie | $13.99–$14.95 | Pecans and vanilla ice cream |
| Sweet Potato Pecan Pie | Location-based | Sweet potato custard with pecan topping |
Key lime pie is often one of the lower-cost full desserts, while brownie and cheesecake can sit closer to fifteen dollars on to-go menus. Several desserts are rich enough to share after a large seafood meal. If you are already ordering a premium appetizer and fresh-fish entrée, dessert can push the per-person total up noticeably. Location menus should be checked because dessert lineups change more often than the core seafood categories.
Private Dining, Catering and Group Orders
Pappadeaux offers private dining at selected restaurants, with banquet menus that bundle courses and beverages into per-person pricing. Published private-dining examples include lunch packages, dinner packages and add-on appetizer selections. The company also links to Pappas Catering and group-order services, so a large event does not have to be built by multiplying ordinary entrée prices. Package availability depends on the restaurant and event format.
Representative private-dining lunch menus include a first course, a choice of seafood entrées and an optional dessert course. Dinner packages can move much higher because they include premium fish, filet, seafood platters and dessert. Beverage inclusions can also change the apparent value compared with regular à la carte ordering. For a group, ask the restaurant for the applicable private-dining menu instead of assuming standard menu prices apply.
How to Find Pappadeaux Prices Near You
Pappadeaux restaurant pricing can vary substantially by market. Full-service suburban restaurants in Georgia and Texas can show similar pricing, while airport locations often run higher for appetizers, seafood, sides and steaks. To-go menus can also differ from dine-in pricing. The restaurant-specific menu is therefore more useful than a national average.
Open the official Pappadeaux locations page.
Select the restaurant you actually plan to visit.
Open its dine-in or to-go menu.
Check portion size, add-ons and side choices before comparing totals.
Compare airport, pickup and full-service restaurant prices separately.
This location-first method is especially important for fresh fish, oysters, lobster and private dining. Those items can change by availability, market conditions and restaurant format. It also prevents an airport menu from being mistaken for ordinary regional pricing. Use the selected restaurant’s menu for the final checkout figure.
Ordering, To-Go and Customization
Many Pappadeaux locations support online to-go ordering, while dine-in restaurants may also offer reservation tools. The to-go menu can include separate family packs, seafood by the pound, Cajun favorites and entrée add-ons that are not presented the same way on the dine-in page. This makes direct pickup useful for group orders even when a formal catering package is unnecessary. Some restaurant pages also show separate lunch and kids tabs.
For off-menu combinations or customization ideas, keep that intent on the Pappadeaux Secret Menu page. The standard Menu page should stay anchored to listed dishes and ordinary substitutions. If you want a different side, sauce or preparation, confirm that the restaurant can make it and whether an upcharge applies. Seafood availability is more variable than a fixed burger menu.
Pappadeaux Allergen and Food-Safety Information
Pappadeaux tells guests to alert their server about food allergies before ordering. The restaurant also warns that seafood, shellfish, meat and other foods may be served raw or undercooked depending on the item. Shared kitchens and seafood-heavy preparation make direct communication especially important for shellfish, dairy, wheat, egg and nut allergies. A price article cannot determine whether an item is safe for a specific allergy.
Many Pappadeaux dishes combine several ingredients in sauces, breading and toppings. Crab-topped fish, creamy fondeaux, stuffed seafood, fried platters and desserts can involve multiple allergens. Even a simply grilled fish can be prepared in a kitchen handling shellfish and other common allergens. Ask the restaurant about the exact preparation before relying on a menu description.
Popular Pappadeaux Menu Choices
Shrimp & Crawfish Fondeaux is one of the most recognizable starters because it combines seafood with a rich, shareable dip. Pasta Mardi Gras is a signature Cajun-style entrée built around crawfish, andouille sausage and shrimp. The Pappadeaux Platter is the broadest fried seafood sampler, while Texas Redfish Pontchartrain represents the premium fresh-fish side of the menu. Gumbo and etouffee are also reliable choices for diners specifically seeking Louisiana flavors.
For a lower check, blackened catfish, fried shrimp or a crawfish dinner are easier starting points than snapper, filet or premium crab-topped fish. For variety, the Sampler Platter or Seafood Platter gives several fried items in one order. For a more composed entrée, salmon, trout and redfish provide different price points before you reach snapper. Diners comparing seafood chains can also look at Captain D’s and Long John Silver’s, though both operate at a very different service and price level.
