text: Last night me and two friends stopped at Pappadeaux and man this place was packed I mean PACKED like they were giving away food Come to find out that they were having their special crawfish boil every Wednesday and Thursday til sometime next month and its only lb Now we can understand why this place was bursting at the seamsnnSo anyway we get there it is packed however we were able to be seated in about mins Now considering the average wait was about mins to an hour we were some happy campers Thank you Haley We get seated and the poor family next us were having a little bit of a rough time considering they had been waiting for hours to be seated and had three kids with them Haley asked if we would not mind moving to another table so that they could accommodate this family Of course we said considering how fast we got seated no problemonnWe are now comfy cozy at our second table and we wait and wait and wait for exactly mins before we are acknowledged Yes I timed it This bugs me a little bit because at our first table it took about seconds before we are acknowledged heck we were barely in our seats and yes I know that the place is busy I get that but even if someone would have acknowledged us and said I will be right with you I would not have had a problem Now Eric our server turned out to be a really nice guy I asked him how many tables he had he said he only had three but two had very large parties then us Aha I said Interesting Now we know why it took so long to get water and bread nnHaley the fabulous hostess came over to thank us for moving and to let us know that she was treating us to an appetizer Score So we ordered the appetizer trio which had mini shrimp crawfish fondue fried alligator and calamari YUM We also ordered some mudbugs crawfish for those that do not know that term and they were off the hook Salty yes but well worth the mess and swollen fingers and toes I had later from all that salt We ordered our main courses as soon as the appetizer arrived so that we would not have to wait so long or so we thought JD ordered the blackened catfish poboy Dennis ordered the mardi gras pasta and I ordered a dozen oysters Now mind you Eric warned me that it was going to take at least to mins for the oysters to arrive but everyone else should get theirs before me No problem I said I can wait So mins later I get my oysters but get this they guys are still waiting for their food Not good Not good at all The General Manager Asogi had already been to our table earlier that night to personally speak to JD as he had been there a few times before and the service had been pretty bad Asogi listened to us voice our concerns and let us know that he would be talking to his staff about the quality of service that not only we were receiving but all the guest were receiving Cool So back to the food It is been mins I have received my oysters which by the way was going to take the longest waited about mins to get an oyster fork prepped them to eat them had eaten before they had received their food Tsk tsk tsk So we asked to speak to Asogi again and we let him know that the guys had just received their food even after Eric told me that my oysters would take the longest Asogi was like you are just receiving your food since I came over to talk to you earlier We said yep and mind you the restaurant had died down by then meaning that there were quite a few empty tables Asogi apologized on behalf of his staff and comped our entire meal Wow That is not what we were after We just wanted to get our point across and let him know that although we love the food the service kind of sucksnnYes I know this is one long review but my point is this overworked servers leads to crappy service which leads to unhappy guests Will I go back Absolutely The food is very good and very reasonable Eric our server even apologized and yes he still got a very nice tip from us So thank you to Haley the hostess with mostess Eric the overworked server and Asogi the General Manager for listening to us share our thoughts and for your generosity regarding our meal
