Zydeco's is a good 60 miles from where I live in Freeport, but worth the travel.
It's a great experience & want to return soon. Fantastic menu & service A +.

Food was great! $18 for a huge plate with sides and a drink. I’ll go back and try the other dishes soon.
an old favorite for me dating back in the 90s. Thanks David for keeping the quality up over the years!
