    The shrimp Poe boy was loaded with shrimp and the sweet potato fries were an excellent accompaniment.

    Loved Zydeco... I was promptly greeted by a beautiful and friendly young lady "Amanda" she seated me and requested my drink order. Half a minute later Amanda returned with my drink (perfect Arnold Palmer) and a menu. She then gave me a few minutes to review the menu. Upon returning she asked if I had any question and inquired if I was ready to choose. Amanda was very knowledgeable polite and made thoughtful recommendations. Because this was my first visit I tried several different items to get the full experience. I started with a half pound Boudin Link, it was sensational. I was incredibly impressed that the Boudin was so delicious being so far away from Louisiana or Texas. I also ordered a half serving of red beans and rice with sausage, a half serving of jambalaya and a half shrimp Po boy. The Boudin came out first it was Cooked to perfection, exceptionally well flavored and served with a wonderful spicy remoulade. All of the dishes were very thoughtfully prepared, wonderful flavored, just the right amount of cajun flavors. The portions were huge even as half servings it was much more than I could eat. The cost was very reasonable and well worth it. While the meal was excellent, Amanda's attentiveness and genuine concern for customer satisfaction made it a perfect dining experience. I look forward to going there again and again.

    I expected better soul food from Missouri of all places. I thought we were close enough to the south. I ordered mild because I expected a soul food restaurant to really pack the heat in there, but there was ZERO flavor. I had to add half the bottle of hot sauce to my food. Once I did that it was pretty good, I guess just keep that in mind for later.

    Zydeco's Fried Pickles! They use a bread & butter spicy pickle which gives them a unique kick.

    We saw Zydeco's and noticed it was a local hometown restaurant. We went for lunch and had a good time. We tried their fried pickles (definitely handmade) and the Zydeco Meatloaf ,which my wife and I split, and got a side of hush puppies! Everything was hand made as they promote! Hot and fresh. Will have to try their etouffe next time!

    Wanted to try something different for date night and still wanted to support small business. When you walk in you can choose the bar area or restaurant. Great idea splitting the two up. Keeps the ambiance separate. There really isn't too much ambiance to speak of, some Mardi Gras masks on the walls, a painting or two and purple and green walls. Maybe jazz it up a bit more?? I digress, we were seated fairly quick and drinks were out fast. There was only one maybe two servers on but the place isn't that big. The server we had was very knowledgeable about the menu. The food took a little while to come out but that could of been from cooking it fresh. We had the popcorn shrimp as an appetizer, which was decent. I mean it's popcorn shrimp. Lol I had the Zydeco's Pasta and my Wife had the 1/2 Jambalaya, extra spicy. The pasta was amazing, the andouille sausage was used for both dishes. They spare no expense. They both tasted great and perfect spice! The service just takes that one star. No refills the whole time. Please try this place, very good food and great staff.

    Excellent food and a delicious change from the standard menu. Fresh Cajun food made to your choice of spice / heat level. Grits, gumbo, Etouffee, Jambalaya, Po Boy sandwiches, Catfish, anything you want. Very friendly service and great prices.

    Delicious Seafood, Attentive Service, Festive Atmosphere/ Decor…read more If it's hot outside and the front parking is full, there will be a wait. There is a back patio, front patio, and two dining rooms inside. If you like Cold Beer, a draft in a Schooner is definitely the way to go! We started with Spicy Gizzards ( Regular size was plenty for two, BTW not spicy ) and the 3 piece crawfish meat pie. Both were awesome. The meat pies take awhile, and they arrive Super Hot ( temperature ). When they arrive, break them open and let them cool!!! We both got baskets. The Fries and hush puppies are hot and delicious. My alligator was fire and my friend's catfish was light and fresh. For dessert we shared the Carrot Cake. It's made by Golden Boy ( local bakery ). It was one of best I've had. I was surprised it was delivered in a to go box. I didn't finish my gater, but I devoured that cake!

    When we arrived on a Thursday evening, the parking lot was packed and the inside seating quite…read morecrowded. The patio was nearly full but we found a good spot outside. We started with Firecracker Shrimp (not pictured) which was excellent and devoured quickly. We followed the appetizer with Crab Cakes and Spicy Gizzards. As a gizzard aficionado, I had high expectations and they were exceeded! The Crab Cakes were also delicious. Portions were generous and the value was high. We spoke to some other patrons who were enjoying the Flounder and Catfish. I look forward to returning to try both of those options. Our service was also notably good considering how busy the restaurant seemed. Our server was attentive without being overbearing.

    One of our favorite places at the lake that's on the water. It isn't a party spot. It's super…read morechill. Decent food that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. Service is quick and food comes out fast. Always a good time and are never disappointed.

    This was by far the worst restaurant experience I've had…read more Our server, Kase S., took about 45 minutes just to take our appetizer order. It was another 30 minutes before he returned to take our meal order. After waiting over two hours, we still had not received our food. We were told the kitchen was backed up, but during that time we watched multiple tables (including several larger parties) that were seated after us receive their meals before we did. The service throughout the restaurant seemed very disorganized. On at least five occasions, servers brought food to the wrong tables and walked around asking guests, "Is this yours?" trying to figure out where it belonged. After more than two hours of waiting with no meals, we asked for to-go boxes and our bill. We ended up paying for our food before we ever received it so we could leave and get back to our boat. As we were leaving, the dock attendant asked how everything was. When I told her the service was awful and that we still hadn't eaten after two hours, her response was, "I'm not surprised." Unfortunately, this was an extremely disappointing experience from start to finish. We understand restaurants can get busy, but the lack of communication, organization, and timely service made this an experience we won't be repeating.
