Gluten-Free at Pappadeaux

I don’t know what I got sick on but personally, I was very ill following the meal. It instantly hit me. The food was delicious- I highly recommend the salmon and potato but I would not go back again due to safety of food for those with celiac or the like.

Great experience. Probably one of the few places a celiac could eat in the airport. Even though I am not celiac, since I mentioned “no gluten” the manager came over and double-checked everything before the order went into the kitchen. Had a delicious chopped salad with salmon!

The staff was very attentive and asked specific questions about cross contamination which is important because my son is celiac. They also made adjustments to the menu (rice instead of pasta) to accommodate us.

Restaurant has an immediate GF protocol once you ask for GF menu. Server stated manager would be right over and would follow order to completion to ensure remained safe, and did. Order the house salad with Greek vinaigrette, naked salmon with lemon butter sauce and broccolini. Would recommend to anyone even if not on GF diet. Daughter who is not on GF diet dined with me, server had no intention of bringing bread until we asked for it/gave the ok.

There is a limited menu, but all choices looked delicious. I asked for GF menu and the waitress and manager came to the table to confirm allergies. Im not celiac, just gluten sensitive and I was very satisfied with the service/care taken to prepare my meal.

I ate the blackened salmon with a loaded baked potato. Also got the browned butter as a sauce. So good! The manager came out to make sure she understood my dietary restrictions so she could communicate them to the chef.

Limited choices, very expensive, but food is delicious! Definitely wave the gluten-free flag in the waitstaff’s face! I ordered my food off the gluten-free menu, but did not say “I am gluten-free”, so my salad came with croutons?! I figured the menu sitting in front of me would be clear enough, but apparently you have to be more specific.

Was delayed so we stopped by here to eat based on the reviews here. I'm glad we did! Our portions were huge! My salmon was baked and the crawfish were prepared of too. Very helpful and polite waiter. The manager came out to confirm my meal selections. I highly recommend eating here!

I've dined here a few times and always had good experiences. The waiters have the manager go over your order to be sure everything ordered can be prepared gluten-free. Great, right? I think someone failed to go over the precautions with the people in the kitchen because half way through my salad I bit into a crouton! It seems as if someone in the kitchen said "Ooops - this isn't supposed to have wheat" and then picked the croutons off and missed one instead of just throwing it out and starting over. I was sick for a week and now I'm afraid to eat there again.

Being a patron prior to my gluten allergy this restaurant was a favorite. However this visit I was very nervous about ordering even though I called ahead and spoke to management upon arriving. The GF menu was extremely limited, the taste of the naked Atlantic Salmon (cooked perfectly though!!) was beyond bland, disappointing and my meal was missing an item. Most importantly service was poor and lacking in ever area from arriving to departing, however I didn’t get sick! Covid-19 has had a negative effect on this chain, hopefully they can improve. My husband’s non GF food was a 10 for him!

I've been to free-standing Pappadeaux restaurants and LOVED their food, so I was excited to see one in the airport. However, the waiter told me almost nothing on the menu was gluten free, including soups, salads, and the dishes I normally get at this chain. I commented the regular restaurants must adjust their cooking methods to make the dishes gluten free, and the waiter said no, the issue must be that I'm not really sensetive to gluten. As I have Celiac disease and am VERY sensetive to gluten, that was insulting. I ended up leaving without getting anything.

Celiac friendly?

No

I had their salmon and broccolini and it was delicious. Not a huge menu but there should be something for everyone and it shouldn't be counted out.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

GF menu

Food is really good and safe

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Food was good. Clear gluten free menu. Thankful for baked potato also since I’m grain free

Server was not at all knowledgeable about gluten free options, kept offering me bread. Gluten free menu is very limited, mostly salad and steak. High risk of cross contamination. Disappointing.

Celiac friendly?

No

Awesome atmosphere, fabulous good, wonderful (and knowledgeable!) waiter! As a celiac, I know my options are limited and safety is sometimes a risky bet but between the Find Me gluten free app, the info and reviews I found there, and the great restaurant staff; I had an enjoyable layover and a marvelous meal ☺

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I’ve eaten here numerous times without issue. I usually get the lobster tail, which is by nature pretty safe.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Celiac friendly?

Team members are very knowledgeable and accommodating about GF options. Food was great just be careful if you have spice issues.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They have a GF menu with many options. I let the hostess and server know about my celiac, and the manager approached to our table after we had ordered our mains. She asked whether my food could have contact with same surface where other stuff is cooked or not, etc. (I found it really considerate). Although the GF menu has a little disclaimer about cross contamination, I ordered a shrimp salad and didn't feel sick afterwards. My order took a hit longer than the rest, they apologized for it so OK.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Gluten free menu is limited. I had the steak and shrimp. Nothing spectacular. In fact, I could have made it at home for less money and it would hav tasted better. Years ago I ate here a loved it. Now, it’s not even good

Good choices on gluten free menu. I never get contaminated here. Love the atmosphere too.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Guten free menu! The waitress advised that if you are allergic than maybe do not go here.

Staff was very knowledgeable about GF menu options and food was really good.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Gluten free menu. Mostly seafood. I ordered a hand tossed cocktail with shrimp and crab. It was delicious. I'm very sensitive and did not get sick. Will definitely be visiting on my future flights to Dallas.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They had a separate menu and the staff was very vigilant about my GF order!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I’ve only been here one, but overall it’s a good place. If you like seafood there are a lot of options. The only thing is it’s pretty pricy.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

After being notified that our daughter was a Celiac, our server was knowledgeable and careful with her meal and brought her a GF menu. She had a great meal and was not glutened!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Had a gluten free menu readily available.

Celiac here, and this place is amazing. I always eat at Pappa's restaurants when traveling because they take very good care of their celiac patrons.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Been here several times before posting this review. Always had a good experience. GF menu and good options. Items were noted as GF when they came from the kitchen.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They have a gluten free menu and prepare the food in a dedicated space. The manager took time to come over to review the order and ask if I would like my steak baked, since it would be grilled on the same surface as gluten-containing items. I really appreciated them taking the steps to confirm that everything was prepared safely.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The BEST airport food I have ever had! Even my non-celiac husband thought it was fantastic! Highly recommend!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Good food, much larger portions than you would think and reasonably priced for the airport. Separate gluten free menu. Very sensitive and did not get sick.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

When I asked detailed questions before getting seated, the hostess brought a manager out who was awesome. She went through all the details about the precautions they take and made me feel very secure that I would be safe there. Sure enough, I had no reactions after I ate there. They do have a limited GF menu (with a lot of salads), But our server said that they could modify some stuff outside of that menu, too. I stuck to a shrimp salad, though, and it was delicious.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Amazing food!!!! Gluten free menu as well

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Located in the southwest terminal, it has a nice atmosphere and specific gluten free menu, which unfortunately is so rare in airports. The manager came out after I had put my order in and just wanted to let me know that they were going to double check that all surfaces would be cleaned and that no cross contamination would happen. Such a good feeling, that management and the wait staff really cared and made it their priority!

Celiac friendly?
