I really like Zydecos the majority of the time & I'm not trying to get anyone in any trouble but I tell ya every now and then you get a bad night of cooking & tonight was that night. Whoever was head chef / fryer whatever today 7/3/26 & whatever other random days I get this flavorless food, they need to go to seasoning school or either be let go because they're giving Cajun seafood a bad name. It's very never tasted such bland seafood. 3 stars only because majority of the time it's spot on. I also couldn't forget this horribly dressed poboy. It looks like a poboy ate half of the stuff on it. read more

We live near Zydeco's and love going here to eat. We went last night and started with onion rings. They are fresh cut and served with a delicious sauce. We then had boiled crawfish and boiled shrimp. Everything was spicy and very tasty. The service was great, as always and the prices were fantastic. I cannot wait to go back. read more

We pass this place all the time. We have passed it going to Salvo's... WHY?! Why were we passing superior seafood. This was some of the most well seasoned boiled seafood I've had in the GNO area. It wasn't spicy enough for me. But nothing here is. Still, well-flavored and very reasonably priced. When the dungeness tray said it came with a "portion of shrimp" I wasn't expected a full pound (maybe more). Also, Nicole was one helluva server. She was kind and brought me lots of sauces and seasonings. Absolutely would ask to be in her section each time I go back!! The lights are blinding particularly if you sit near one that a ceiling fan is bc it acts as a strobe. Get way to set off a migraine or epileptic fit. But that's the only negative thing I could say about this joint. And I wouldn't take more than .5 star off, so five it is!! read more

Nothing special about the food I ordered. Not large servings. Dark and dreary inside. Service average. Waitress spoke like she was yelling at us. ‍ read more

I ordered a seafood platter which includes soft shell crabs expecting to get blue crabs which as most natives know is a gulf crab. It boggles my brain why I'm served green crabs. cmon Zydecos quit being so cheap. This is ridiculous. * I give them one star rating. read more

Food - my party had raw and chargrilled oysters, catfish platters, seafood platter, shrimp pasta and a blackened fish entree (forgot what it is called). Oysters had lots a shell fragments in it. Fish from the fish dish was dry- cooked too long. Catfish was decent. Soft shell crab from the seafood platter was good. They don't serve tap water; only bottled water if you want water. Service- it was good. No complaints. Ambiance- clean. Nothing outstanding. Lots of elbow room between tables. It was a recommendation from a neighbor to try this place. Overall, it was ok. read more

I love this place crawfish is awsome and fills you up before you finish it and lori is a great server and everyone's else service is a 10/10

The food is great but the service is horrible.. me and my family been coming there for years and never have a problem but only on Thursdays the manager she is Spanish I think and this waitress that's always working with her has a very nasty racist attitude well when the manager tried to cheat us out our money when we know the policy there she told us that's why we give that because ( you ppl don't like to pay) and every time me and my family comes there we tip very good and I was very offended by the manager disrespectful ways towards us . She is the only manager that we always have a problem with because we checks our receipt good and she gets very disrespectful . Her and this waitress with the long dark hair the food is great but the disrespect isn't worth my money and I would like too speak with the owner.. read more

Stopped in for the lunch special, was about a 15 min drive from Federal City. Wednesday special was the crawfish etouffe which came with 3 small catfish fillets. The sweet tea was perfect too! Service was great! Food took a little long to come from the kitchen so don't be in a hurry. Nice locals atmosphere you can tell people support them. read more

Wow! For a seafood place, they know how to do a steak! Had the 14 oz ribeye, it was perfect!

I randomly came here with my parents on a Friday night. We shared a huge seafood platter of fried catfish, shrimp, oysters, soft shell crabs, fries and a huge salad. It was all pretty good. This place is a super casual dining room with friendly staff. I'd come back with my parents again! read more

Went for a weekday lunch with husband, who does have a set lunch schedule. Was recommended, so we decided to try it. ***SPOILER ALERT*** Not going back. Arrived before the lunch crowd in separate cars and were seated. That's when things slowed down. Our server, Sandi B., came by and said she'd be right with us, she just had to do this...but she did this, that, then something else, then came back to the table. Drink orders taken and delivered; appetizer of fried pickles ordered, and a Zydeco Burger ($11.99), a side of dirty rice, jambalaya and potato salad for our entree. I put the price of the burger in this review because everything else was commensurate with what you received. In the meantime, the crowds were coming in, and Sandi B. continued to get seated more tables. Pickles were greasy. Drinks ran dry. Then came the wait on the burger. Considering the only claim to fame of this burger was 2 cheeses, we couldn't understand the hold up. We ended up with all the sides to start, and waiting on the burger. The sides were all good, including the potato salad, but nothing outstanding. At this point my husband is well past his time to be back at work. As soon as the burger did arrive, 30 min after order, he had to wolf down what he wanted and leave me to pay the tab. I do not believe this disaster is all Sandi B.'s fault. Hopefully someone will read this review and address it with those who contributed. read more

The food was simply delicious - I had the seafood platter and every shrimp, catfish, and oyster was well seasoned and fried just right. My Auntie had the seafood boil - I tried one of her boiled shrimp and it was the best I'd ever had! read more

31AUG24 ~ They nickel & dime you to death. They charge you for water! They charge you for using a credit card, even if you do not use a credit card! French fries do NOT come with a fried seafood dish, any seafood dish! The portions are "Child's Portions!" (Except the salad) Recommend you go find a real seafood restaurant, not this shyster outfit. read more

This is not commander's palace, in terms of ambiance, but the food at Zydeco's is much better ;-) In the crawfish season, we always do the boil. Nice flavor! Sides are great. Have had gumbo here, seafood only, very tasty and filling. Have had boils and always have leftovers! Now, we all have our favorites, but I will pick Zydeco over Salvo's any day. This place is always packed and still the service doesn't disappoint. They try to make sure that you are cared for. read more

Food and service were great! I need to come back here and drink; seems like a fun place for dinner. I really wanted to order the all you can eat boiled seafood, but at the last minute decided to get fried shrimp instead. I was very pleased with all the seafood that was served. Our waitress was so sweet and -- side note -- she had the most beautiful eyes. We ordered the boudin eggrolls that were better than expected - I am a boudin snob. We just inhaled those and they came 4 to an order. The steak was too chewy, just order seafood, this is not a steakhouse. The batter used on the fried shrimp was a thicker / hardier batter, but it was delicious. It's just a yummy down to earth seafood shack in LA, what more can you ask for?! The restaurant has plenty of parking. Plenty of space inside the restaurant so it's good for groups and I bet if had gone closer to dinner, this place would be a fun and jumping place to be. read more

From what I heard, they used to offer an AYCE seafood buffet but they renovated and no longer have it. It is now a full table service restaurant. Still serving an AYCE boiled seafood menu but accordingly with which seafood are in season. There's also other boiled seafood platters available too. I liked how the boiled seafood weren't salty but I thought it lacked flavor and were overcooked. A lot of reviews, especially on Google, raved about the great service but I didn't get the same experience. Not naming the waitress but she was pretty much nonexistent after the food were delivered. The restaurant wasn't busy either, considering it was a weekend dinner service. Saw a lot of other waitresses provided great service to their tables though. read more

I was treated to this restaurant and I must say it was delish! Our servers name was Traci and she was extremely pleasant. When we arrived we were the only customers in there at first and then it began to fill up! The place was clean and tidy. There were other waitresses doing light duties around the place waiting for customers. Let me get to the food. The BLU CRAB! delish! The FRIED MUSHROOMS.. baby they were fresh and hot! The Shrimp Pasta was just ok. I want to return to try something else.. it was a bit too creamy for my liking! And that delicious BANANA PUDDING! It was amazing! I would recommend. Just don't get that shrimp pasta.. lol get something else! You all get 5 stars for the amazing customer service & food! I'll be back! read more

Some of the best seafood you can find. It might be a bit pricey, but we'll worth it. The service is good. Waitresses are as attentive as you would expect. The ambiance is themed like a seafood boat. The steak with the Bourbon seasoning is top notch. There's also a bar for the drinkers. read more

We were in town for Mardi Gras and stopped in to get some crawfish. But unfortunately we didn't get any because they were out. Has the raw oysters and they were good and fresh. Would recommend having them if you like oysters. I gave three stars because they didn't have crawfish and there menu was limited unless you chose the buffet. read more

Came here with a group of 11 for lunch and this place was pretty good. I mean it's definitely a bang for your bucks. The portion of my pasta was huge and I couldn't finish that by myself. I got the combo pasta with crawfish and shrimp. The pasta was just a tad bit bland but it's still good. Service was really fast and quick. We ordered our food and it came out within 15 mins. Keep in mind we had a group of 11 people, so that was really quick. I would certainly take a trip back here whenever I get a chance to try other things! read more

Read my words: Go here, no ifs ands or buts. Skipped the buffet and ordered off the menu. Fried pickles, pressed cajun (their take on a pressed cuban) and the chicken & andouille gumbo were phenomenal. Hard stop, no need for my usually long review. Check it out and thank me later. read more
