Reviews for Zydeco Kitchen & Cocktails in Bend, OR

An incredible place to enjoy upscale southern inspired food. Everything from the service to the cocktails to the meal were... outstanding. Go for the amazing shrimp bbq appetizer... stay for the truffle mac and cheese. This place is not too be missed. Read more

My wife and I came here to celebrate our 7th year anniversary. My wife ordered the jambalaya and I got the porterhouse. It was... the best steak I've ever had. For dessert, we got carrot cake which was equally amazing. Our waiter gave solid recommendationsand provided professional service. We had a lovely evening and experience. Read more

Went here twice on our week long trip to Bend! The food and cocktails are amazing and the outdoor seating is a fun way to spend... the evening. The cocktails are well made, fun and unique. Tried all the cocktails and you can’t go wrong with any! There isan extensive list of Oregon wines for bottle purchase. The appetizers are tasty with my favorite being the artichokefritters. Tried the T Bone steak and the Jambalaya and I have to say go with the Jambalaya, its a bit more unique than a steak. Read more

We went at lunch time during a road trip when passing by Bend. This restaurant has a lot of recommendations so we decided to try... it. They have an outdoor seating. The server was very friendly and the food was great! The BBQ shrimp appetizer that'srecommended by a lot of reviews was indeed very good. The sauce goes very well with the sour dough bread they serve. The searedsteelhead fish is cooked to just right and the soup of the day was also light and perfect for a hot summer day. Definitely willcome back again if there's a chance. Read more

First: make a reservation! We went on a Monday around 5:30 and everything was booked. They do have some seating at the bar, but... even that was filled. Every single thing on our plates was delicious! Our stakes were moist and cooked exactly as asked. TheCrispy Tuna appetizer was to die for! I could've ordered one of those for myself and left happy. Our waitress, Mara, wasdelightful and on the spot any time we needed her. Would love to return on our next visit to Bend! Read more

Food and service didn’t meet the expectations after all these glowing reviews. Our server was nice but not knowledgeable of... the food and wines. She recommended the barbecue shrimps even though we were ordering jambalaya that had lots of shrimps. Myhusband had blackened red fish which was dry and didn’t have lots of flavor. The restaurant had lots more wines than the menu.Our server didn’t tell us to scan the QR code for the full list. Read more

Great food. Excellent staff! Dog friendly. Heated outdoor. Try the BBQ shrimp and grits cake! A-maze-ing! The drinks were not so... good. I had a hurricane. Treated more like rubbing alcohol and bitters from grapefruit. I felt like I could breath fire. Notgood. Too heavy handed and not enough balance of sweet and bitter. My husband had a virgin bloody Mary. Not good. If you aregoing to make a virgin bloody Mary that just means leave out the booze. Not the flavor, salt, garnish. This just feel flat intaste and presentation. 2 thumbs down. Also, there is no sugar free options. Not diet. But sugar free. That said, the food andservice definitely pushed this over the top for me and I'll be back! I can't wait to try other menu items! Read more

It was easier to get reservations on a busy night. Space is enormous but seated very close. Food was good. Desserts were just... about ok. Wish they had a lighted up sign on the board outside so you can see it while driving. You have to walk close to findit. Read more
