Plans before the Planning Commission to construct a new Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen on the southeast corner of Lake Hefner Parkway & Memorial Road. This would be the first Pappadeaux in the state of Oklahoma; they operate 31 locations in Alabama, Arizona, Colorado, Georgia, Illinois, New Mexico, Ohio, and Texas.

I'll be the first to comment though I don't live in OKC anymore......YES!!!!!! My favorite place to eat, though it is a tad expensive to eat there often.

I do love me some 'deaux's though. Will be a smashing success.

They are absolutely going to kill it at this location.

Of course lots of households for dinner but also really great spot for lunch business given the proximity to Mercy and all the other medical infrastructure and all the office buildings north of the turnpike.

I'm so glad to hear they are coming here. It's one of the few restaurants from DFW that I honestly miss. I hope that some time down the road that they bring some of their other restaurant concepts such as Pappasito's Cantina and Pappas Bros. Steakhouse.

I love seafood and fish. I also love "Cajun" cuisine. The name of this place implies a lot of both. And it looks like a very nice type of restaurant. So just how "spendy" is it? In the neighborhood of about $20 for an entrée? Is it one of those (generally wonderful) $100 for dinner for two (with a couple of drinks and maybe a glass of wine)?

We ate at one in Dallas in 2011. Being on vacation, we were splurging, so we didn't worry too much about cost. That said, we spent about $90 (tip included). I'm sure it's possible to get out of there for less than that if you don't go overboard.

How many people is "we"? That makes a big difference in how expensive $90.00 is.

Their etouffe is out of this world (shrimp or crawfish). Clam chowder is the best. Anything fried or blackened is wonderful. Greek salad is made by your table and is delicious. They turned me onto fired alligator appetizer that is excellent. 2 with drinks will be $80 -100

It's about the same price as Cheever's/Metro. It's not super fancy, but it's perhaps a tad above casual. $20 to $35 entrees, but those come with sides.

Pappadeaux's is a solid catch! I live about 1/2 mile from one of their restaurants in Plano. Always busy and love the atmosphere. I am usually stuffed after eating there, however, if you get dessert, their cream brulee is spot on! Etoufee, Shrimp, Crab!! Good to see OKC expand their dining options, and I am sure it is going to be successful!

That's what everybody said when we got a Cheesecake Factory. And PF Chang's. And 25 years ago when we got an Olive Garden. No offense to everyone who is thrilled - and yes, I have eaten at Pappadeaux and agree it's a great chain with good food - but I think we tend to set our collective sights on places like this as evidence that we've "arrived" as a city, and then after the initial buzz proceed to ignore them. Not to say it won't be packed; I'm sure CC and Chang's are still quite busy. But the euphoria will be short-lived.

I just get more excited these days when some great new local place appears, and I'm glad our local food scene is so dynamic right now. When Anthony Bourdain or the like visit major cities around the world to explore their food scenes, they aren't stopping at the Pappadeux in Dallas.

I don't disagree, Urbanized…but this and Texas de Brasil are two particularly exciting announcements in the last 6 months because they both fill voids in our market. Depending on how fast this gets built, Pappadeaux could end up being the first real seafood restaurant in OKC.

By no means does it mean we have arrived. We're still a couple types of restaurants away from having arrived, but it's a long process and a lot has been done in the last 15 to 20 years to slowly help educate OKC's collective palate where we'll be ready for the things we really need to "arrive". That being said, none of these are the types of restaurants we need to see to arrive. But they are restaurants that are hard to put together locally because their menu can be expensive and the buying power of a chain helps us get something of high quality at a lower price.

Teo,
Did you ever eat at Boca Boca or Bodean's? I enjoy Pappadeaux, but to say they could end up being first, they're too late. I would choose Boca Boca for seafood over Pappadeaux. Now, throw in the Cajun/Creole food, and it would be Pappadeaux, hands down!
C. T.

After re-reading your post, it appears you mean Pappadeaux is the first real seafood restaurant of the new seafood restaurants coming to town.

Well to be fair OKC has never had a shortage of places you can get deep fried Catfish or other gulf style cuisine. Don't get me wrong I love Pappadeaux but if that is not your style then you will be disappointed with it. I would be more excited about The Drake if you are looking for a good well rounded seafood restaurant.

I would agree that this is another high quality option that has come to OKC, but it is not a game changer to show "we've arrived" by any means.

I don't usually pay attention to these numbers - but they have jumped out at me in this thread. Pete posted this Friday at around 4:30 in the afternoon. In around 32 hours, there have been almost 13,000 views! That shows a real interest in Pappadeaux and says a lot about the reach and influence of OKCTalk. Has a thread ever been read so many times in such a short time, Pete?

Why wait. Do it at home. Save money and amaze your family and friends. Cedar Grilling Company: The Art of Planking (http://www.cedargrilling.com/art.htm)

We used to do this at some camp events back when sleeping on the ground on purpose was still fun.

Yeah, Pappadeaux has long been a destination for Okies heading down for OU-TX and other DFW visits, which probably has a lot to do with the outsized excitement here. You surely wouldn't see the same excitement in a place like Kansas City, for instance. It's the same reason I look forward to Texas de Brazil (though I would be more excited by Fogo de Chao).
