Careers

More than anything, Pappadeaux is built around great people all rowing in the same direction.

Our people are passionate, kind, smart—and stick around.

On average? They stick around for more than 20 years (some close to 40!). We work hard to make your hard work pay off, with flexible schedules, competitive benefits, and ample opportunity to learn and cultivate a career you love. We’d love to get to know you. Get to know us, too.

Anchored in Excellence

Shared by every Pappadeaux—and every Pappas restaurant—are the three core values which guide the ways we operate and innovate, the delicious dishes that we share with pride, and the warmly attentive service and lively atmosphere—that Pappadeaux glow—for which we are known and loved. Pappadeaux (or PDX) stands for people devoted to excellence. Here’s what our values look like in action.

Our Values
Quality in All That We Do

We’re committed to the real deal. Daily-baked breads and desserts. Handmade sauces and condiments. Fresh-squeezed juices for cocktails. And a team of in-house butchers who break whole fish down fresh every day.

From finessing flavors to perfecting plating, our team of chefs create and refine every item on our menu, and are a ready presence across all of our kitchens to help teach and direct fellow staff.

We won’t get too technical here, but our ability to supply our restaurants year-round with sparkling-quality seafood (regardless of location)stems from decades-old allotments in quota-controlled fisheries (hard to come by) and direct buying relationships with hand-picked farmers and fishermen from every corner of the continent.

And because we own and operate our own fleet of delivery trucks, we’re able to monitor and assure the freshness of your fish from each coastal dock to each kitchen door. Let’s just say it’s one frigid fleet.

We want to make every meal worth the while for our guests. We don’t skimp on portion sizes, or charge for the tasty extras like lump crab and shrimp others might charge for atop a nice piece of fish. If something’s not quite right, we’ll make it so. And we have a dedicated guest experience team to ensure every diner receives the highest level of attention and care.
