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.

Love this place! They have the best cajun seafood in town. The staffs are always so friendly! There always parking available. Great spot for lunch! The fried catfish is especially great! My boyfriend is a big fan! My ultimate favorite is definitely the stuffed shrimps! They are so flavorful and fresh. And the gumbo is to die for!

Great little find. I had never been there and the kitchen staff explained what everything was to me. I also had a wonderful conversation with their mother who happens to also work there. Good food at a great price with a wonderful staff. The owner was nice to.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!!

10/30/24 update: the food quality has gone down, unfortunately. I had the fried shrimp and fish to go. While the fish was cooked deliciously, the shrimp seemed old and cooked 3 times over. It was not the same as it was in the past. Good is always piping HOOTTTTTT like I like it! This is the fried shrimp platter with fries and jambalaya rice with the juiciest, most tender chicken ever. I recommend the chicken and sausage gumbo here. Seafood is my favorite, but I dont like it here. The chicken is very tender and has GREAT flavor!

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.

I loved the old Louisiana vibez here! Staff is very hospitable and nice. its a buffet line type place and the guy serving gave me a good suggestion of the seafood creole. it was very good. but the sides were mid to me. And the bread pudding i was looking forward to the most was out by the time i got there to eat at 12 :/ Its okay tho! Next time I def wanna try the fried chicken or poboy. Prices are very good for seafood. Lots of flavor!
