Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen on Highway 280 in Birmingham was recognized by the national digital publication Eat This, Not That, for serving up the freshest seafood in the U.S. for a restaurant chain.

Only Pappadeaux in Alabama

Located at 3500 Grandview Parkway, the Pappadeaux location just off I-459 doesn’t feel like a chain for us here in The Magic City because it is the only Pappadeaux in the state of Alabama. In fact, there are only 4 other spots nearby in and around Atlanta. The other closest locations are Texas and Ohio.

Specializing in New Orleans Cajun fare, Pappadeaux opened its Hwy. 280 restaurant in 2014.

Some of its favorites include:

  • Cajun Specialties: Crawfish Etouffee, Shrimp Etouffee and Pasta Mardi Gras
  • Gumbo: Four types of Louisiana gumbo, including shrimp, andouille sausage, crab and seafood
  • Fish: Red snapper, redfish, catfish and more!

Pappadeaux: Well-deserved recognition

A mainstay on Hwy 280 since 2014, congrats to Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen for garnering some well-deserved national recognition.
