Café Zydeco — Restaurant in Bozeman

Our daughter gifted us with a trip to Montana. She googled this place and according the reviews thought it be delicious New Orleans type food. The reviews didn’t disappoint! My husband had the fried catfish and fries, and I had the catfish po boy sandwich, and our daughter had the shrimp, sausage and vegetables over rice! We each tasted the other’s. The crispy well seasoned fish and fries and the dipping sauces and condiments to choose from were so delicious! My sandwich had a soft but toasty bun and good fish, lettuce, tomatoes and sauce ratio, my daughter’s creole flavored dish tasted amazing, just like New Orlean! We arrived close to opening so you place your order, get your own beverages and condiments and sit wherever you choose! We picked the right time because as soon as we got our food. The line filled up and cars were still coming when we left so good! Great atmosphere and hearty portions! Plenty of...

Meant to post about this a while ago.

Food was subpar. Service was terrible. My wife and I came here for something different, I ordered the gumbo and she ordered the French dip. Neither were very good. The gumbo had a consistency of gravy, and was mostly flavorless. The French dip made my wife feel ill, and while this could have simply been her not feeling well in general I had a bite and didn't like it either so we threw it away.

Nobody was in the restaurant, but it took a very long time for anyone to check on us or to get the bill. We could hear the staff laughing and cussing im the back, but couldn't get a hold of them so that we could leave.

Second-worst dining experience I've had in Bozeman right after La Compania (where Pizza Compania currently is).

Edit: to clarify, Pizza Compania is fine (if overpriced imo). La Compania no longer exists (thank goodness,...

I think today was my last straw eating here. I’ve come here for years and this place is in a steady decline. 1. They no longer have oysters for fried oysters po boys 2. Their gumbo AND etouffée are consistently bland (I always have to doctor them up w/ all the sauces they have 3. They are usually always out of something, today it was Okra. Again. I had asked for the dill aioli on my po boy, there was no hint/or sight of dill detected, so they remade it, with the same spicy aioli I had asked for on the side not on the sandwich. The guy had initially said the orangey color was because of the cheese… umm, there is NO cheese on their po boys to begin with/ so I knew that was nonsense.

Anyways, if I crave Cajun cuisine, I’ll probably grab oysters from Whole Foods & make an oyster po boy, or gumbo myself cause I just spent $18/$20 dollars for some...
