Im not from here & have tried a few places around THIS PLACE STOLE MY HEART!! I still cannot breathe from being unable to stop myself. ATM the menu is creole inspired & we had the Zydeco pasta (I could not get enough, my friend & I asked for our silverware to be confiscated). Best fried chicken I've ever had, the red gravy it's paired with is drinkable. The cornbread was perfect, not too sweet. The pickle coins were breaded to perfection & paired perfectly with the roumalade (you could also ask for homemade ranch). Our server Grant was so attentive, & also packed our bag of food up for us before leaving. I've never ordered so many things at once & loved them all. Beautiful experience & will be making several trips back specifically for this place. We essentially had 4 courses & drinks. Definitely a value for four courses. Whoever created this menu is an absolute genius! read more

Love some Cajun food and this place didn't disappoint. We got a bowl of gumbo to share as the starter. It was thick and rich with nice chunks of andouille and chicken. Very good. I had a shrimp poboy that had some nice large shrimp. Very good, only thing would be a better bun to handle the insides (tad crumbly). Cornbread was very good. Also had a Hurricane from the bar and they did not pour a weak Drink. I'd definitely be a regular if I lived there. read more

This is not real creole food. This is mush from a can. It was horrible. I couldn't find one vegetable as I dug through my rice cause it was a purée of what ever the can says. There was no craw fish in the dish either. Yes it was suppose to have craw fish, celery onion and pepper. Nothing, just this mush. This is. It a real Louisiana style restaurant. This is a generic can of pretend . They heated and dumped on rice. I went through every little bit with my fork trying to find something to distinguish. Absolutely a mess. Someone far away from real creole food decided to fool the Midwest with garbage. Shame on you. The service was nice. Wonderful polite man read more

Friendly and prompt service. A good selection of wine. The fried oysters and especially the jambalaya casserole were delicious. Costs are very reasonable. If I didn't live so far away I'd be a regular here. I'd be surprised if there is a better restaurant in Hermann. read more

Zydeco is a hidden Cajun gem right in the middle of Missouri! Honestly, I never expected to find such amazing Cajun food in a town known for its German history, but I'm so glad we stopped here. We went early on a Saturday evening for dinner, and the food completely blew us away...it was that goooooooood. We started with the pickle coins, a cup of gumbo, and crawfish bisque. Everything was very flavorful. For the main course, we had the shrimp po' boy and fried chicken with red gravy and both were absolutely delicious. I had never tried the cajun red gravy so it was fun to explore a new dish and it did not disappoint. We savored every bite. The place had a fun, lively vibe, and our server was super friendly and checked on us with lot of care. Everything from the food to the cleanliness to the service was spot on. If you're ever in Hermann, then definitely eat at Zydeco. You won't regret it! read more

Only in Hermann for one night and we ate her twice, we liked it so much!! we are not much for spicy food so we opted for the catfish which was amazing - Got it two days in a row. Had the shrimp Poboy, which was good but very messy. I love sweet potato fries, and these were probably some of the best I've had!! also tried the red beans and rice and cornbread, which were great. Very nice decor and great service. Not sure when we will be back in Hermann - who knows we may have to make a special trip just to eat here. read more

Grabbed dinner at Zydeco while in Hermann. It was decently busy, I'd definitely recommend a reservation on Friday or Saturday night. We had been drinking all day, so we opted for water and followed our server's recommendations for dinner. We got the shrimp po body and crawfish ettuffee. Both were very good and I would order either again! Glad we got a chance to eat here read more

My husband and I arrived in Hermann, MO late yesterday evening, and were lucky to make it to this restaurant before they closed. That being said, we quickly ordered our food before the kitchen closed. What we did appreciate was the service and ability to take our order rather quickly. The fried oysters we ordered as our starter were good and I like the remoulade sauce with them. We ordered a cup of gumbo and it was relatively tasty, although it appeared that they put a bit too much rice in it. So, by the time were received our main meal, the jambalaya, I anticipated something decent, however, we were both disappointed. We also noticed they have a surplus of rice at their disposal. Any more rice, and I would have thought we were at a Chinese restaurant. The Jambalaya lacked any shrimp, hardly any chicken and just a few slices of sausage. My husband suggested that perhaps we got the bottom of the pot scraps since we were late, and perhaps that was true, but I would have appreciated a heads up for being charged $14 per plate. read more

Great restaurant - we went with a party of 10. They don't take reservations, so we waited. It was worth the wait. To be honest they were out of a lot of things by the time we were seated - but they were busy, it was a Saturday night and it was late. It happens. We sat on the patio, the food was wonderful - the staff was great. It was worth the wait. read more

We found Zydeco on Yelp and decided to give it a try. I'm glad we did. We enjoyed the food very much. I had the crawfish etouffee, which was recommended by the waiter and was very good. He also recommended the boudin balls, which I enjoyed also. It's nice to get good recommendations from the server. My only minor complaint, and this seems to happen everywhere I go, was the seating of a huge table with many children right next to us when we were the only people in the restaurant. I don't understand why people do that. There was at least one other table where those people could have been accommodated. But this is a mystery that permeates my restaurant-going life, and is not specific to this one. So hie yourself over to Zydeco for a nice meal when you find yourself in Hermann. You'll be glad you did! read more

It was ok. For Cajun food, it wasn't super flavorful. The gumbo roux was very light and fat floating on top. After I ordered two things I said "Could I also order the kid's..." "No! You can get the appetizer." I didn't want all that, so I didn't get anything. It's mediocre at best. read more

Fantastic, will definitely return. Loved the ambiance and service and the food was even better than anticipated. 10/10!

Beautiful new eatery in town. Hopefully the owners will watch the feedback to keep improving and gain stability. Misty was great! Very attentive, friendly and helpful. My husband loved her suggestion of the Jambalaya casserole. I really liked the Bayou wedges (potatoes with their skin intact and yummy Creole(?) cheese sauce). Generous portion and lightly deep fried for added crispness. The Wedge Salad was good. The plating almost makes it impossible to eat, though - it's way too crowded in that ridiculous bowl. Delicious house-made blue cheese dressing and the ($added$) fried chicken was nice - perhaps could use a little more seasoning. We would definitely return! Staff needs to be told that water pitchers shouldn't be touching the glass's rim when being refilled. read more

We hoped it would be great, but stir fry dish w/ shrimp was a giant salt ball. Only decent item @ our table was their soup w/ cornbread. *Appetizer (not shown) of crawfish was $10... it's quite small, mostly battered tiny pieces w/ sauce that work w/ it. There are better places in town. read more

My husband and I visited this place while in town celebrating our 33rd wedding anniversary. TRAVIS and Alex (or Allie... can't remember her name) were so friendly and hospitable. The food was amazing!!! We actually came back the next day for dinner and will go again next time we're in town. read more

Nice vibe. Great young man served us. crawfish etouffe was good but small portion. All really fine but I asked for a roll or bread with my wine. For a wine town not knowing that wine ALWAYS served with some type of bread, I was given a tasty but uber tiny half hoagie roll. Fine. But charged me $4.50 for it---- really over the top insane and pissed me off. read more

Heard good things about this restaurant and had to try. Drinks. Are. Strong. You get your monies worth! Tasty yet strong. Hubby had the pasta dish and loved every bite was our server's favorite dish and obvious why. I had the fried oyster po' boy. A little bit heavy on the breading but the baguette made up for it. Sweet potato are a must. Service was on point and quick. Super pleased to have this option in a town of German food. read more

What a surprise to find delicious Cajun food in a German wine town. We highly recommend eating here and then calling for a trolley pick up.

We enjoyed a nice relaxing evening on the patio. Started with a drink for each of us. I had the milk punch since I haven't had one before and I liked it. My husband had the hurricane and said it was good. Then had the Cajun fries, which were delicious...really liked the taste of the sweet potatoes wedges mixed with white potato wedges. I had the crawfish étouffée and my husband had the jambalaya casserole. Really liked the flavor of each though my husband said the casserole could have had slightly less cheese sauce for his taste. And finally we shared the bourbon bread pudding...which was amazing! read more

Really good food and great ambience. Fun place to chill with friends. Sit inside/outside and no one rushing you.

Very basic atmosphere and the food seemed to be bought from Sysco.... Very mediocre. .......

I'm in Hermann a lot and have zydeco's food off and on mostly off season. Overall it's pretty good. The crawfish étouffée, red beans and the boudin balls are always good, the Friday catfish special is fantastic with high quality fish, the salads are ok, crawfish bisque is not good and I like a strong fish taste. The cocktails, I should have known better than to order a hurricane, it was terrible at least for me but the waitress subbed out a beer so they took care of it. Zydeco is a fine addition to the Hermann restaurant scene. read more

Food and service were amazing. We got the shrimp mac and cheese for one meal and the house salad with a side of crawfish gumbo. Lovely place, clean. read more

Hubby and I had the fried oysters which were a little pricey, but sooo good! I had the jambalaya casserole and hubby had the fried chicken with rice and gravy. Both dishes were excellent with the right amount of spices. Also, had some tasty cocktails that were nice and strong Overall, I would highly recommend this place when in Hermann. Ask for Ed Norton's doppelgänger to be your waiter, he's excellent!! read more
