Hurricane
Tosha P.

Cute, clean restaurant! The service was really fast and our waiter was very friendly, but the best part was the taste of the food! It was DELICIOUS! I had the Zydeco pasta, and my husband had the jambalaya casserole with a cup of red beans and rice. Everything was perfect!!

Gumbo
Daniel Z.

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.

Gumbo and cornbread, the cornbread was very light and perfectly cooked. It was so good we ordered another side of cornbread.

My wife and I went to Zydeco for lunch and the food was awesome. We have gumbo anytime. We see it on the menu and their version rivals any gumbo we've had in the south. I had the crawfish étouffée and my wife had the catfish. Both the dishes were really good and I would not hesitate to order them again. Our server was on point regarding refills and checking on us regularly. Regarding the restaurant itself, it appears to be a new building and the interior provided a warm ambience. If you ever visit Hermann Missouri, I would strongly recommend this restaurant if you like Cajun cooking.

Jambalaya Casserole
Dan M.

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.

Fried chicken with red gravy
Vaidehi C.

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!

Fried chicken & red gravy
Victoria C.

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!

Crawfish ettuffee
Amanda R.

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

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.

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.

The Zydeco Pasta is easily the best Cajun pasta dish I've had for sure. The fried oysters were good too.

This is a cute spot along E1st street, next to eateries and wineries and shops. Outside patio is…read moreavailable to eat and relax and ppl watch. Inside dining is spacious, and plenty of areas to sit . Staff were friendly and welcoming. Slush drinks available in all flavors and flights are recommended if you want to try different flavors in one seating. Menu has a variety of items to choose from boneless chicken to hamburgers, fries, chicken sandwiches, tacos etc. Prices are reasonable. Restrooms clean as well. Once you order you will get a buzzer and staff brings your food to you which is an added bonus once your order is ready. I ordered two flavors of boneless wings mild buffalo and chipotle habanero. My friends ordered smash burger and hot honey mustard boneless wings. We all asked for fries and queso was added for dipping . FYI the large boneless is enough to easily share for a budget friendly option . All food came out hot and fresh . Cooked to order. The boneless chicken is meaty white chunks. Kudos to staff for making our visit from the STL memorable

Doxie Slush was the perfect way to end my visit to Hermann! I ordered the hot honey boneless wings…read moreand fries, and they were a great choice. Of course, I had to have a strawberry shortcake frozen margarita to wash it all down, and it was absolutely delicious! The place was crowded, but the staff did an excellent job keeping up. Our orders were taken quickly, and our food and drinks came out without a long wait. Great service can make such a difference This was my last stop on my Herman visit and I wouldn't have had it any other way. Great food great drinks and a great atmosphere. Definitely a spot i would visit again if ever in the area.

Sunday brought us back to Hermann for an anniversary lunch, and Tin Mill was one of our top choices…read moreto check out. Located in a repurposed grain elevator at the entrance to historic downtown, right across from the Amtrak station and near the banks of the Missouri River, this restaurant makes great use of its picturesque space. Needless to say, we had high hopes. Everything at Tin Mill is crafted towards a wonderful experience: prompt, friendly service, low lighting and low ceilings to create an intimate dining setting, a wide range of local (as in, right-across-the-street local) whiskey, wine, and beer selections, and delicious food choices. My only complaint is really self-directed: I wish I had paid more attention to the separate lunch and dinner menus. In practice, I guess that means we'll need to drive back to try the prime rib next time. My wife and I started with drinks and appetizers while narrowing down the best main plate for a chilly fall afternoon. I opted for the whiskey flight, which include four local bourbon and rye samples. I tend to prefer rye, but my personal favorite was probably the Black Shire Bourbon (disclaimer: they were all great and you really can't go wrong as a casual whiskey fan, in my opinion). The bread starter was an excellent appetizer served with an ample helping of creamy butter. We try to make a rule not to fill up on bread at the start of a meal, and we luckily managed to exercise self-control once again. Torn between something we thought might be a bit lighter and healthier and something we knew we would be immediately satisfying, we finally went for the latter. I ordered the Deep Fried Chicken Sandwich and my wife tried the Brisket Grilled Cheese. The menu names and descriptions already let you know what to expect, but I did enjoy the chicken's crispy texture along with the flavor combo of curried aioli and apple slaw topping. Hermann has so many cool boutique stores, coffeehouses, and restaurants to try and we're excited to make our trip out an anniversary tradition. Tin Mill is worth checking out if you find yourself celebrating a special occasion or looking for a nice lunch on your way through town.

This was a great find on our trip through the area. The service was excellent and the food matched…read more We were greeted by Martin who offered great recommendations since it was our first visit. We ended up ordering the create your own Cajun Combo with a medium spice level that included 1 lb shrimp, 1 lb crawfish, two pieces of corn and a sausage; the fried catfish basket with hush puppies and an egg; and 6 hot wings with sauce on the side. Tarter and cocktail sauce and garlic butter came on the side. Everything was served piping hot and delicious. The boiled seafood was tender, flavorful and well seasoned without overpowering the delicate texture of the seafood. The catfish was lightly battered and had a clean flavor. The sausage had a gentle kick and was well seasoned with savory spices. We took the advice of Martin and dipped the sausage in the garlic butter - wow, a great recommendation! The hot wings were delicious. Had I known they were that good, i would have requested them as typically served tossed in the sauce. The hush puppies we not typical in that they too had a a great mix of spices and maybe herbs; crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The corn seemed to soak up the boiling spices as well and was tender and flavorful to the last bite. In addition to providing utensils, wet wipes, bibs and even gloves, they had a nice hand washing station near the entrance with great smelling soda and towels. It was a great space to wash up before and after eating. I would definitely return tho the Cajun Crab House if I was in the area - and I'd hope to find Martin and Maria working that day too.

We normally go to Krustaceans on 9th St.....but decided to try this place. Though I'll speak well…read moreof this place, the cost/value of this place - will (still) have me endorsing Krustaceans in Columbia. The seafood at this place, was cooked very very good. The quality of the seafood was a very clean tasting seafood. Even the shrimp had a nice clean flavor. And we're you looking for butter? Oh, they do (not) spare the sticks of butter at this place! The potato. Oh yes, I said "potato". I have never had a seafood bowl - have (just) a single potato. The potato tasted absolutely great. But 1 potato? That was a joke - especially after you see what these items cost! The garlic butter: There was plenty of butter. Tye flavoring of the butter, certainly was unique of sorts. Seemed to have (possibly) a chili powder base. And though I thought it was good...I also got tired of the taste, after a bit. The Big Downer at this place: Cost. You see my (2) platters. Add (3) cans of Coke - the cost was $150.00. Yes, that's correct: $150.00. Sure, there's a whole lobster on one of the platters. BUT, it wasn't that big by any means. And let's remember: 1 potato was included in the platter. 1 small red potato, came with it; at that price! Lol. Conclusion: Krustaceans is where you should go - for the seafood boiler platters. A much better combination of quality, value and price.
