Zydeco’s Southern Soul and Cajun Cuisine

Loved Zydeco...I was promptly greeted by a beautiful and friendly young lady "Amanda" she seated me and requested my drink order. Half a minute later Amanda returned with my drink (perfect Arnold Palmer) and a menu. She then gave me a few minutes to review the menu. Upon returning she asked if I had any question and inquired if I was ready to choose. Amanda was very knowledgeable polite and made thoughtful recommendations. Because this was my first visit I tried several different items to get the full experience. I started with a half pound Boudin Link, it was sensational. I was incredibly impressed that the Boudin was so delicious being so far away from Louisiana or Texas. I also ordered a half serving of red beans and rice with sausage, a half serving of jambalaya and a half shrimp Po boy.The Boudin came out first it was Cooked to perfection, exceptionally well flavored and served with a wonderful spicy remoulade. All of the dishes were very thoughtfully prepared, wonderful flavored, just the right amount of cajun flavors. The portions were huge even as half servings it was much more than I could eat. The cost was very reasonable and well worth it.While the meal was excellent, Amanda's attentiveness and genuine concern for customer satisfaction made it a perfect dining experience. I look forward to going there again and again.

Truly disappointing meal. We had high hopes but they were soon dashed. The service was the best part of this meal.

I live out of town and I had to wait 2 months to get here. I've read their menu so many times I could pass a test about it. I love oysters and can't find anywhere near me to order them. See the crumbs in my basket they are not crumbs they taste like boiled canned oysters that at been breaded. They were tasteless and I keep eating one after the other hoping to get an oyster taste. All I could get was a greasy breading taste. You can also see the excessive grease in the basket too. Worst meal I've ever eaten. Plus it was expensive and this was the appetizer. The ambience was nice very festive and the waitress was kind. But the food was terrible I'm surprised they would even charge people for this. Left there sick from grease and I mean really sick and I kept belching oysters it was horrible.

Service was good and the waitress gave good recommendations. Food was very good, didn't expect to find cajun food in Missouri!

I've had Zydecos a decent amount over a 6 month period and I felt it was time to just call it, this place is incredible. I love Cajun food so tbh I was a bit skeptical here in Warrensburg but damn I love to be proven wrong. Everything I've tried has always been incredible. The gumbo, fried green tomatoes, shrimp po boy, the muffuletta, the chicken fried steak, even the cheeseburger is probably my favorite in town. Service is always great and i can't think of a single complaint. Don't miss this place.

Stopped in for lunch and ordered the shrimp po boy and my son ordered the Boudin Platter. Both were ok. We will go back and try some other items as we really love Cajun food and want this place to be a go-to for that.

I'm a fan of Cajun cuisine. And so, when I heard the name ZYDECO'S SOUTHERN I knew I had to try it out. I followed my GPS from Lee's Summit to Warrensburg easy enough. But once I got close, it was a little bit hard to find. The best advice I could give would be to look for the DAIRY QUEEN and then sneak back behind it and park. And there it is, tucked away in the little strip mall behind the DQ. I arrived on a rainy Tuesday afternoon at three o'clock and the restaurant was empty. The adjacent bar showed some signs of life, so I went in there and sat at the counter. The menu was surprisingly inclusive. There was a substantial offering of Cajun and Creole but, to my surprise, a surprising array of American standard cuisine including soul food as well. I came in with my heart set on the best Louisana soul food they had to offer and I couldn't decide between their gumbo and their jambalaya. My genius waitress suggested I try a half order of each which I readily agreed to. I was not the least bit disappointed. I will be going back again soon to explore more of their Cajun soul food -- for sure.

Ordered a "blackened" chicken po boy. The chicken was a thin bland, dried out piece of meat. No blackened what so ever. Oh and it was 15 bucks. When I asked the waitress about it, she just said that's the way it is. Will not return.

We were surprised to find pretty good seafood that's similar to what we find in Louisiana and Texas. The fried fish and shrimp are pretty tasty.

I expected better soul food from Missouri of all places. I thought we were close enough to the south. I ordered mild because I expected a soul food restaurant to really pack the heat in there, but there was ZERO flavor. I had to add half the bottle of hot sauce to my food. Once I did that it was pretty good, I guess just keep that in mind for later.
