I went here for the first time around 11 on a Tuesday. Somehow every 20+ customers at the establishment were men As a woman, it made me a bit uncomfortable, but the staff were welcoming and helped point me to specials they have today. I ended up getting the shrimp jambalaya. Food was decent, could be more spiced for my taste. My favorite was the cornbread. While I was eating two more women came in.

Tasty Louisiana / Cajun food served up cafeteria style! Retro diner vibe with old school decor. Ordered the catfish platter with fries and jambalaya. Everything was flavorful and the fish was fresh out of the fryer.

I love this place. Zydeco Louisiana diner is different. It’s located in downtown Houston but nothing in the immediate surrounding areas remind you of downtown. It’s in an unassuming building with plenty adjacent parking. It’s not your fancy downtown restaurant dining experience. It’s is good hometown, southern and Cajun cafeteria style food. Although the menu is limited, the food they serve is outstanding. If you’re ready to drop the suit and the tie feel free to go down the peace Street and enjoy your down-home meal downtown.

Great treasure find! Been around 37 years and we know why. Food was delicious and owner was cordial and very attentive. We were new customers going in, loyal customers going out.

The food is always good. It defines Cajun food for me. The restaurant is buffet-style and the service is good for what it is; everyone is friendly and the dishes are clean. I’ve been eating there for about 35 years and it hasn’t really changed in that time, which is totally fine. I like it just the way it is. It’s my go-to for Cajun lunch.

The best fried chicken and bread pudding that I’ve ever had in my life! Side dishes are solid. Prices are reasonable for the quality of the food. May not look like much from the outside, but truly a hidden gem!

Found this little gem just passing by!! Amazing authentic cajun food! I had their baked chicken, green beans, and corn. So much depth of flavor in every bite!! I don’t think I could have enjoyed it more!

I didn’t already give this place 5 stars?!! Anyway this little soulful gem in downtown Houston is great. Sure, the Mexican guy behind the counter asks what you want and then sometimes stares with contempt but after that it’s all good vibes and delicious Cajun food. BYOB if you want. And definitely support Ma & Pa operations over gross corporations before we loose them!

There is parking. We went for lunch mid week, it is a nice reprieve from all the same looking office buildings. They staff are extremely friends. The food was good. Our group ordered the shrimp creole, crawfish etouffee, shrimp poboy with gumbo and the fried catfish. Everyone left satisfied. Especially our picking eating 4 year old that ate all his catfish.
