Authentic New Orleans cuisine in downtown Houston. I feel like I’m in a diner in Nola every time I come to Zydeco. Every day has its own specials.

Excellent food. Big crowd. No table service, but food was fresh and placed at the pickup window quickly. Reasonable price. My brother and sister-in-law have eaten here often and they love it, too.

I came here for lunch after coworkers ranted and raved about their food and welcoming atmosphere. After checking out the lunch menu prices, there was no way I was paying $11 for 2 pieces of fried chicken.
But boy was I mistaken… the fried chicken and juicy, full of flavor and moist. But it doesn’t stop there. You get 2 sides (I picked red beans/rice, flavorful green beans) & corn bread (regular or jalapeño). $11 is really a great deal considering all the food they give you. The rice and gravy is also super amazing. I didn’t have to put salt/pepper or Tony’s on anything! I’ll definitely make a return visit at least twice a month, maybe more. The vibe is super old school with tons of office employees that walked from their respective buildings. 5 stars!!

The gentleman that runs this place is phenomenal. He goes above and beyond every time me and the guys place an order, which is quite often. Customer service out of this world. If you pass this place and don’t stop to eat you were doing yourself a great disservice.

I thoroughly enjoyed the crawfish, corn, and green beans dish! It has become a regular craving of mine since I started coming here twice a week during work. The ambiance of this place is so calming, and the food is absolutely delightful. I highly recommend giving them a try. Moreover, I'm thrilled to share that they now offer take-out for some of their top-notch dishes in convenient bowl sizes during the evenings.

I met some friends for lunch today. We each drove about 35 minutes because downtown is a central location. My friends chose seafood, and I had baked chicken. We had bread pudding for dessert. Our food was good, and I will be back soon because I promised to take my aunt to lunch.

No lines. The food was good. I chose the stuffed pork chops and it was cooked perfectly. I really liked the chicken rice. I chose 4 stars because there wasn’t many sides that I liked to eat in general.

Zydeco Diner is an amazing spot to grab lunch and try Louisiana kitchen. Also easy reachable from GRB convention center. Every food we tried was so tasteful and very fresh at more than a fair price. The owner Marty is one of a kind, super welcoming and hospitable. Being back in Houston absolutely means visiting Zeydeco for me. Thanks for the amazing experience!!

Honestly this place is great. Super friendly staff and excellent down home food. 100% worth stopping in. I tried the smothered pork chop, fried chicken, jalapeño cornbread, black eyed peas, and green beans….and nothing disappointed.
