I have loved this wonderful place for some not available here in Bozeman Cajun food. It has been a while since I visited there. Is it just me or is the food smaller in servings and lacking as much taste? Tell me it ain't so! read more

Service was great! Food was super tasty! Too hungry to take pictures but the bread pudding is a must after your meal. Fun atmosphere and nice staff. read more

Food is delicious! We had fried bayou Po Boy & fried gator basket. So good we came back the next day & had the Grilled Bayou Po boy & another gator basket. Day 3 of the week we had Muffuletta sandwich & large (regular) seafood Gumbo. The Sandwich is delicious & Gumbo loaded with seafood and large portion. Food Rivals anything I had in New Orleans. The ambiance is cool too, like an old house, with lots of different options of seating. Beignets are good too & only wish sold them weekdays. Only negative is that they're not open for dinner! Will be back soon read more

Stopped here after flying into Bozeman and it was great! I got a shrimp po' boy, friends got fried chicken po' boy and the creole chicken philly with shoestring fries. The staff was very friendly and helpful in our menu decision-making process and service was prompt. It's not exactly a traditional sit-down restaurant but all the food was great and the casual atmosphere of the restaurant doesn't deter from how enjoyable of an experience it was! We dined outside after ordering inside at the counter and filling our drinks at the self-serve soda fountain. read more

Great food. Shrimp Etoufette was the best. Good portions. Would go again. Nice to have options.

My sister found this spot for us. Unexpected find in Montana. Very delicious. Crawfish etoufee is buttery. Jambalaya is full of flavor. Because the food is so good make sure you reserve a lot of time if you plan to come here before your flight. The food took 30 mins on a Thursday at lunch. The woman taking your order will let you know wait time on the food before accepting payment. Could be longer on a weekend. It's a large restaurant, plenty of parking and seating: indoors, outdoors, at the bar. This place is great value. You get a lot of food and you will leave full. I wish we had one back home! read more

Cajun at least as good as New Orleans. Dare you to order a large Jambalya and enjoy taking half home for awesome leftovers!

Had the Fried Oyster Po Boy. The bread was amazing and the oysters were nicely fried and good sized. Loved it so much, I went back the next day and ordered another one along with their seafood gumbo. Amazing! You would never of thought this place would exist in Bozeman MT, and be at the same level as cajun food in the South! read more

I love the decor. The service on a Thursday seemed a little slow, but the special lobster roll was worth the wait. An interesting, fun place to eat. read more

We tried to find local dishes that Montana is known for and a few local folks we talked to only mention huckleberry and chuckled there's no other dishes the state is known for so I opted to try Cajun, taking me back to my roots. The restaurant is close to Montana State University and it quaint and quite charming with an outdoor patio. The cashier was very friendly. The owner is from Abbeviille, Louisiana which is smack in the middle of Cajun Country. The menu seems legit and we ordered the fried banana pudding fir dessert along with the seafood gumbo and catfish platter. Food cane out and it looks good but I was disappointed that the catfish wasn't fried and it was grilled instead. It taste ok and I think would have taste better if it was fried instead. The seafood gumbo was their popular dish but I was underwhelmed by it. Honestly, the gumbo I make back home taste better. For Montana, the food is good enough but this place can not compete with the restaurants back in Louisiana. Service is friendly and prices are reasonable for small town Monta though. I would definitely go here over the other restaurants I saw on Yelp as those serve the same standard American fare. read more

This place doesn't compare to the real New Orleans style food. Had the gumbo and it lacked flavor and was watery. Had some nice pieces of seafood but really not enough of anything. The etouffe tasted more buttery than having a nice rouge. Had a nice amount of crawfish though. Cute ambiance of a house and friendly staff....maybe they're more known for their sandwiches. read more

We lived in Louisiana for several years, so going to Cafe Zydeco is like a warm hug from the past. I almost exclusively order the seafood gumbo - it is superb. It is served with a side of soft garlic bread for dipping! Shrimp and grits is also another favorite. Lots of seating and you are able to spread out. We love this place! Don't miss the fresh beignets ( powdered donuts), served up fresh on Saturday and Sunday! read more

Fried pickles--AMAZING! The dipping sauce is delicious as well. Lobster roll--this is very heavy, but over all really tasty! Super fast and great comfort food :) read more

Was here for work at the hospital and a foodie friend suggested this for lunch. I didn't know there was one here!? I love the one in Helena and eat there every trip. This time I tried the Fried Tuna Po Boy - it was so good!!! read more

Been living in bozo for forever and somehow just made it to Cafe Zydeco. I am so glad I did. The service was wonderful and the food was spectacular. As someone from the south I can say that this is definitely a lot high quality Cajun food than I expected for Montana. I would highly recommend going here. Their jambalaya was some of the best I've had!! Please go and support this local business and kind people. read more

Awesome taste of New Orleans in Bozeman. Had the etouffee tchoupitoulas and it was fantastic. Certainly worth the price and really cool unique restaurant decor read more

So so so good. An awesome place for a great lunch. Their Po Boys are delicious. I'll be back!

Food is great - I'm from Nawlins and its better Creo-Cajun than the actual source (504 boi grew up off St. Charles about a block from the old Belfort mansion) and that's sayin something. all gooooood but very slow when I was in tonight, and it was a Friday night post COVID Bozeman so every other place slammed. I can't count that against the star rating, cause it just made it quicker service. i just hope they relocate because the food is way too good to board up. read more

Fun place. Doesn't look like much from the outside but would recommend the red beans and rice, hush puppies and the Cajun chicken Philly. Everything coming out of the kitchen look great. read more

My go to is the Fried Bayou Po'Boy! It is so dang good and I am stuffed just halfway through. I love seafood and this is a good fix for me. Great price too!! read more

We have been coming to Cafe' Zydeco for years and they never disappoint. The best Cajun food I've ever had, and I've had the real thing down in Louisiana. The star of the show is their Seafood Gumbo, it's amazing, so rich and flavorful. The Deep Fried bread pudding is unique and something to write home about! We just love this little cafe' and appreciate the delicious food and great service! read more

Favorite place in Bozeman. Every meal I've ever gotten has been perfect just like the last. Their building really embodies the Cajun feel. They also serve gator - very exciting find coming from a Florida native. read more

Being from bayou country, seeing Cajun food outside of Acadiana is usually an exercise in disappointment. In this case, I was pleasantly surprised. The fried shrimp po-boy was spot on. The jambalaya is tasty. I'll have to try the gumbo later. The only ding is the beignets. Instead of fluffy airy pillows, they were dense bullets, more like a Dunkin Donuts filled donut. Beignets shouldn't be so dense. Overall, worth going again. read more

Well, I love Cajun and I heard about this place. Soooo, I walked into a nearly empty restaurant at 5:30 on a Friday evening. No one greeted me or even looked at me. When I dine alone, I prefer to sit at the bar, which I found myself. It looked like the bar of a closed business, no bartender, glass door fridge empty, a bunch of draft faucets, none marked, no glassware visible. I sat there for almost ten minutes, still no one acknowledged my presence. I walked out and still, no one said a thing. There were people at 2-3 tables and 3 people waiting for take out. I didn't see enough to give them another try. Go there if you want, maybe they'll say hello read more

I could eat their lobster rolls every day if I lived in Bozeman! Go of your haven't been there or order take out!

Bozeman is not where I would have expected to find good cajun food but this place was a pleasant surprise. My wife and I each got a po-boy and a friend of ours got shrimp etouffee. Everyone enjoyed their dish and the portions were quite large and filling. Service was friendly, the food came out pretty fast, this restaurant was a solid find and I'd happily come back again. read more

Outstanding and always consistent. Grew up in Cajun country and this food could compare with anything down there

Well, to start, be aware that it is spicy! All good Cajun food should be imho, but I guess some don't know that. We caught it at a good time, between lunch but too early for dinner, so there was almost no one there. All the staff was very personable, and had a great attitude about service. The host told us the owner is from New Orleans, LA. I love regional food, and Cajun is one of my favorites. But these guys hit the mark... The food...omg the food...amazing. The three of us got three dinners and two appetizers. They were out of calamari, but the fried pickle spears and shoestring fries more than made up for it. On top of everything else, they're tucked back in a cozy, quiet little spot. Glad we helped for dinner and found this mouth watering place. I can't wait to go back. read more

Tried the Cajun/creole cuisine here for the first time and I have to bow down for it. Three of us ordered five dishes and to our wonder we emptied the plates and even the waitress was shocked. We ordered BBQ shrimp po-boy, spicy Cajun gyro, jambalaya, chicken & sausage gumbo and chipotle pork po-boy. Each one of them is yummy and fantastic. Lots of meat and quite heavy. The sausage is andouille and the best of all I had. The place looked like remodeling house but undoubtedly the best of bozeman. Cheap, yummy, quick and lots of meat read more

Not bad Cajun good for Montana. Could've been spicier, but service was prompt, the place was cute, and I will be going back. I wish they had beignets everyday day of the weeK, but I'm glad I visited on a Saturday so I could enjoy ! Puffy, delicious, and perfect ! read more

Deeeelicious! I had the gator P.O.'boy, fried. It was the first time I've had gator, and I liked it. It's kind of like a mild white meat--the seasoning makes it. Kiddo had a grilled crawfish po'boy and it was even better than the gator. My husband had the small portion of jambalaya, and had more than he could finish--plenty of sausage, chicken and shrimp. Really tasty place! read more

Driving through Montana from here to there and stopped for the night in Bozeman - and what says Montana more than New Orleans, so we tried it. It was not just good "for Montana" - it was great - for anywhere. I've spent a lot of time in New Orleans, and the few things I tasted here would have been right at home there. Enjoyed the "Tchopitoulas Catfish" (grilled catfish over shrimp ettouffe) and the Cajun Lobster Roll. Loved the casual environment and cool decor - a large menu promises something for everyone, and plenty to keep you coming back if you live in the area. Too bad we were just passing through. read more

Cajun food in Bozeman??? First time here and loved it. Huge serving sizes at crazy affordable prices. Special today was "small" red beans and rice with a drinkbamd garlic bread. Small is easily enough to feed 2 people. Maybe even 3 The ladies that helped us were super kind and friendly. The food was crazy delicious! Also the veggie pita is very tasty and a great vegetarian option. read more

I was excited to give this place a try today. Went for a later lunch and loved it! I got the fried Bayou Po' Boy and a side of fried pickles. The Bayou Po' Boy had both shrimp and crawfish, lettuce, tomatoes, and some special sauce that was amazing. One thing I will say is that the food was pretty heavy/filling and I could have split a Po' Boy and been perfectly full--especially if you get a side. The prices were moderate--$11.95 for the sandwhich and $4.95 for the fried pickles. The had a large selection on their menus and many things I want to go back to try! The service was great. The atmosphere takes you to Louisiana. The one thing that was disappointing was their lack of freshly brewed sweet tea. They have a Peak Tea machine, but I personally prefer freshly brewed and associate that with Southern food. Overall I highly recommend. read more

Love, love, love me some beignets! So good! I believe they only serve them on the weekends, so get in there and load up on some calories! Shrimp and grits is a fav of mine. This is a good place to stop if you're looking for something a little out of the ordinary for Bozeman! read more
