This place was recommended by family member who lives in the area. We ate with a group and ordered different types of food. The shrimp and grits was pretty good. I had a burger with Havarti cheese and bacon and it was really good. I enjoyed it. We also ordered the catfish bites and the fish tasted really good and crispy and the hush puppies were absolutely amazing. They tasted like little fried cornbread bites, and it was amazing. The reason I gave at four stars was because the service was a little slow.
Excellent bar. The drink specials are incredible. $20 bottomless Mimosas, giant steins of beers. The tuna plate is incredible 🤤. Our server was very friendly too, and replaced my original drink selection after I tasted it and didn't like it. Really nice atmosphere too inside. Highly recommend!

OMG- Everything here is great!! They have a 4-7 Happy hr. Can’t beat it!! Vodka and Passion Fruit drink for only $3!! Tons of different beers to try. Service was outstanding and fast!! Nicole, our server, was outstanding!! This is definitely a must try with multiple great restaurants, ice cream shops in the area.
My husband Arian and I just hosted our wedding reception on the second level of this restaurant. It was spectacular! We coordinate with Josh, the manager for months and he was extremely helpful, responsive and accommodating. We also met with the chef and he made helpful menu recommendations and was willing to prepare off the menu items for us. On wedding day, the food was delicious and the presentation was elegant which added to our experience and that of our guests. Kami was the manager in charge on the wedding day and she did an excellent job keeping up with us and making sure the courses came up on time and coordinating access for our DJ and wedding decorator. The bartenders and servers kept drinks flowing and tables clean . There was never a line for the bar. Our guests are still raving out the food and experience and we cannot be happier. Thanks for making our day better than what we dreamed off. We, "The Powell's" are grateful!
We walked in and sat at the bar. Siobhan was delightful. I asked if she had any mocktails and she offered to invent one for me and it was delightful.
The only reason I gave 4 instead of 5 is for the amount of time we waited for food. We were seated almost and hour before our food landed. BUT it was DELICious! And it was not waiting to come to us their kitchen is just understaffed.
The positive atmosphere and live brunch music rounded out a very pleasant arrival in Tampa.
Highly recommend for upscale bar food and some tapas flare. We had the brunch burger and it was everything I could have wanted and the burrata plate which was so satisfying.
If you find yourself in Ybor City you have to try this place. ZBW has a NOLA bar atmosphere with elevated food! Service was awesome! The poutine was life changing! Definitely recommend!
What a phenomenal event!!!! Truly perfection all around.
There was not a person there that could have gone home hungry, thirsty or with feet that did not hurt!
I cannot find the right words to express our gratitude to your entire team for pulling off such a fun and epic success.
Thank you to the entire Zydeco team!
Stopped for the 1st time in Ybor City Tampa Florida. Got a little hungry and saw great reviews for Zydeco.
It was around 4pm on a Sunday and the area was somewhat busy.
So I ordered a brisket sandwich, shrimp and grits, and a large pretzel as an appetizer.
The brisket was pretty tasteless to me. I actually didn't really enjoy it but it wasn't horrible.
The pretzel was super delicious and worth the trip. The shrimp and grits was also very good. The restaurant was very clean and our server was excellent.

Located in ybor and it has become a great edition to add to you Tampa go to restaurants. Lousiana themed menu the food is delicious. The shrimp & grits is perfectly made, some of the best grits I've had around town. We ended up in this location because 7th & Grove didn't truly honor our reservation, so instead of arguing and ruining our day we found an even better place that welcomed us! The owner gave us watermelon slush drinks on the house celebrating a birthday and the bar tenders were superb 👌🏾 very knowledgeable about different drinks and even made a special shot for the bday girl! Oh the flat bread pizza was to literally to mouth watering....lol delicious!!! Restrooms were clean & fully stocked and the restaurant was overall clean.

This wasn't on our original plan on our visit to Ybor City but turned out to be one of our favorites. Our waiter was very friendly and informative and the the beer selection was good.
We ordered the Chicken and Shrimp Gumbo and it just might have been the best gumbo I've ever had (see pictures). It was so juicy, flavorfull and delicious - you'll definitely want to try a bowl during your visit!
Update: Brought our son and his friends back yesterday to try more food and again left impressed. We ordered the boiled peanuts (see picture) on the waitress' recommendation. Once you get over the new experience of 'mushy' / soft peanuts in the shell, they tasted very good.
For the main course, we ordered macaroni and cheese, gumbo and Shrimp & Grits (see pictures) and really liked all of them. I had the Shrimp & Grits and even though I can't claim to be an expert they were the best grits I've ever had - creamy, smooth and delicious! Make sure someone in your party orders the Gumbo and someone else has the Shrimp & Grits so you can try them both!!

An amazing place we discovered in Ybor City, lovely ambiance! Amazing food with big portions and very fair prices. We ordered a flight of beers each and had us a feast. The services was really nice and helped us pick our meals. Definitely coming next time in Tampa!
Update: Broke (bartender) & Harris (server) were amazing and made our experience even better the next time around. It’s always a great vibe every time we visit!!
We really enjoyed it here. This was our first time to Ybor, we're excited to go back.
The drinks and beer were really good. We had wings and fries. I am really particular about my wings and these were delicious.
Had to pay my compliments to everyone at zydeco that helped me with my private event. Josh, the GM was outstanding with communication and helping us pull the event together. I was really impressed with his level of attention to us and making sure we were super happy.
Another huge shout out to our bartenders Emily and Rachel for catering to our entire 50-60 person party. No doubt that's a tall order but everyone left happy and impressed with the service. Lastly, not to leave out the cooks with their fantastic food and other support staff who ran food and drinks, thank you. My 40th birthday was truly one to remember. I resoundingly recommend zydeco and their beautiful private event space upstairs for your next event.
This place is an absolute must try if you’re in the Tampa area and like beer. Some of the best lagers I’ve had in the US, and the IPAs are fantastic as well. Rachel was my bartender, and she is fantastic. If you’re a beer fan, this place is for you. Can’t wait to come back! Prost
Service is on point.
Food is yummy.
Very cool and hip vibe in the middle of ybor city.
A great collection of draft custom beer at this place.
I tried the beef poboy with chips and the extra side of fries. The fries were hot and covered with a special spice. Yummyyyy. Also they are steak fries. Thick.
I had fun watching the different tvs. Talking to the ppl beside me and having my dinner on a busy saturday night.
Highly recommend especially for the beer that you cannot get anywhere else.
