5 stars This food answers the meaning of life.. May, 2010
by  Mike   from  Helena
When i lived in Seattle we used to eat at this little creole restaurant. I recently found out that this little creole place has been rated "Second best sandwich in the country" by TLC's 'Best Food Ever'. I am assuming that Cafe Zydeco is rated number one...
 
4.5 stars Where are the lemons? May, 2010
by  Ghostb33f   from  Bozeman
3rd trip to Bozeman zydeco this year. For the love of God, where are the fresh lemons? Cmon, catfish, shrimp, iced tea.......no lemons? The two go hand in hand like peanut butter and jelly, kool aid and sugar....other than that, top notch grub and I grew up in Nola. Keep it comin' but please invest in some lemons!!!!!
 
5 stars Stay open later April, 2010
by  Scott   from  Helena
Your food is awesome. Your hours drive me crazy. I understand you probably have your reasons for closing as early as you do in Helena but it drives me nuts I cant eat there for dinner. If you were open tonight I would be eating there but you're not and thats been the case far many more times than Ive actually had the pleasure of devouring your food. PLEASE stay open later.
 
4 stars Why the weird hours? February, 2010
by  Gary   from  Bozeman and points South
We love your restaurant but the weird hours hurt your business. MANY times we want to go out for a good fried shrimp po-boy and you guys are closed. Right now we are making plans for supper and want to eat at your place. But you are not open past 4 any night except Thur and Fri. Please set your hours and be consistent. Inconsistent hours are the first killer of any food service business in Bozeman (which I know is not easy). Any why not bring back Oyster Po-boys at dinner on thursday and friday!!!
 
5 stars Laissez les bons temps rouler!! September, 2009
by  B.A. Luke (B.A. stands for Big Appetite)   from  The Deep South...
Laissez les bons temps rouler!! Let the good times roll!! Foot, what a great li'l joint! I lived the the Deep South for quite a few years and this little cafe is a home away from home!! I ate my weight, and I ain't no li'l boy, in cajun food in the Big Easy and this is just so dang close to the little joints in Louisanna that it's now my favortive joint in Helena. If you want BIG BOLD flavor in your diet...this is it. You'd be a dang fool if you didn't at least try it...aaiieeaaaww!!!

3.5 stars good, large portions, reasonable price, but too hot September, 2009
by  joan   from  helena
We ate at Zydeco last Fri., had Jambalaya & Crawdad Etouffe. It was pretty good food, large portions, reasonable price, but way too hot, even for Vic who eats salsa & hot sauce on everything. The overwhelming taste was the red pepper. I might try one more time & ask for it to be cooler, or just order salad.
 
4 stars catering? September, 2009
by  Kim   from  Helena
Wondering if you are set up to do catering in Helena yet. I have a group of 10-12 people I need to do lunch for next week. Also wondering if you set up corporate charge accounts so you could bill us. My # is 442-3570. Thanks!
 
5 stars Unreal food, funky location, great combination! July, 2009
by  M. Ulberg   from  Missoula, MT
Thanks for putting together some real quality eats. I look forward to my next trips, and I am hopeful that you can bring a Cafe Zydeco to Missoula soon! This is a restaurant town (Missoula) where people love good food, and I know you would blow away the competition. I am highly recommending you to my friends and family.

5 stars Thank God for Zydeco. Helena finally has a great restaurant June, 2009
by  Sheila   from  Helena
We have been hearing how great Zydeco in Bozeman is and we couldn't believe they opened a restaurant in Helena. It just opened yesterday and I've been there twice. It was packed at lunch and they haven't even advertised. I had the Big Easy sandwich, which was to die for, and we had Shrimp Etouffee for dinner. Can hardly wait to try other items on the menu. Going for dinner tomorrow night. Fabulous food at decent prices.

by  Julie   from  Asheville, NC
Wow, I can't believe Alec is graduating high school this year..... It has been so long since I have seen him. He certainly looks like a Carloss. I would love to talk to all of you. Send me an email. thelowmans@hotmail.com Hopefully time will allow us to come in and eat when we come out this summer. Love you!!

Ohhhhh, how I miss you! And your philly steak sandwich! WHY did I move back to MN?!! There is nothing like Zydeco anywhere in this town of 90,000 people, I just wanted you to know that… ;)
 
5 stars Missing our Sunday Mornin' beignets! December, 2008
by  Amber & Ryan   from  Salida, CA
We moved to California from Bozeman a few months ago and really miss Zydeco's. We had many yummy Sunday morning breakfasts there with friends and we even had their beignet's on the morning of our wedding! Thanks for keeping up the atmosphere and excellent food. This will be our first stop when we come back to visit next summer!

5 stars The Best Tuna I ever had... October, 2008
by  Steve Newman   from  New Smryrna Beach, FL
When I attended Montana State (97-01) and worked in Bozeman from (02-03), this place started at Four Corners in the Exxon station as a little shop. When the cafe opened I could be caught eating there twice a week for a year. This place has the best tuna sandwich I ever had...you gotta try it. I have not had it in 5 years...and I still think about it! Steve in Florida.

5 stars Don't miss this WONDERFUL Bozeman restaurant February, 2008
by  CrazyaboutZydeco   from  Livingston
This is the BEST Cajun food I've ever had...service is always friendly, sometime a bit slow but WORTH the wait...you won't be dissapointed. Always order more garlic bread...one portion espically with the large orders is NEVER enough as it is completely addicting. Our family's favorite for a cold winter day is the Jambalya....simply the BEST!

5 stars Damn good! July, 2007
by  Katherine   from  Bozeman
Can't believe we've lived in Bozeman for 3 years and just recently tried Cafe Z. It is really good food. So good in fact - we've been back three times in as many weeks. Motto for me to remember: Don't judge the food by its building.
 
5 stars Yumm... June, 2007
by  Lovin' CafeZ   from  Billings
My husband and I make it a point to visit Bozeman at least once every three months to eat here. It's a two hour drive, but the sandwiches are worth it!!! Our favorites are Veggie Wrap and The Gutbuster (we buy two and take them home with us for the next day). We will always remain loyal fans- no matter the distance!! =)
 
5 stars The Greatest Food Ever June, 2007

5 stars A little Louisiana in big beautiful Montana!!!!! January, 2007
by  Sheila Summers   from  Calgary , Alberta - Canada
Wow - what a place!!!! Went to Cafe Z for lunch with my girlfriend and what a great experience we had.... the food, we had the pasta salad, was totally incredible - For dessert we had the most superb bread pudding I've ever had!!!! The staff, food and ambience of this cafe makes it a spot I will definitely go back to. Can't wait to get to Bozeman and get my Louisiana fix!!!!! Cheers
 
5 stars This is real winter food! January, 2007
by  Tanna   from  Belgrade, MT
Not only does the Cafe Zydeco jambalaya and gumbo taste fine, but it keeps you warm with an exquisite spicy flavor that really sticks with you. Nothing compares to it!
 
5 stars Bread Pudding like NO OTHER! October, 2006
by  Emily Yaggy   from  Bozeman
At Cafe Zydeco, everything there is awesome! The best is the bread pudding, and also, Kevin and the rest of the crew are fantastic! I am a student at BHS and I go there almost everyday for lunch. My abslolute favorite is the pasta salad, the philly, and as I said, the bread pudding is beyond words! If you ever are craving real awesome tasting food, and you are in the area, stop by Zydeco, it will be an experience you will never forget!
 
5 stars Awesome!!! September, 2006
by  Mike Piatz   from  Bozeman
Kevin is my next door neighbor and he is a great guy. The gumbo is my favorite but the sandwiches are awesome as well. Cafe Zydeco is the best place to eat in town period!! I'm in high school and I love the new deal for us any sandwich for $5.00 that is a great idea. Me and my buddy Ryan are in just about every week to get some great food.

4 stars Do you Know what it means to miss New Orleans? March, 2006
by  Bridgette F
The Cafe is the only place I have eaten in Bozeman that I felt I got My monies worth.This is authentic cajun. Their creole chicken filly is the best sandwich in town! The chipotle pork come in a close second. The chairs are a little wobbley,

5 stars Craving Cafe Zydeco Crawfish Etouffee May, 2004
by  mitzilaine
Cafe Zydeco has the best crawfish etouffee ever! I would never try it and once I did I fell in love - also I am a big fan of Philly Cheese Steaks - talk about melt in your mouth!!! There's is definitely one of the best! I live in West Texas so unfortunately I cannot enjoy their mouth watering food! My husband and I plan to take a trip possibly this summer 2006.
