Clean, quaint "on the bayou" ambiance. Attentive, friendly servers and bartenders. (Nick was the bomb, and he's cute!) The food was served hot, fresh and delicious - my catfish was fried to perfection, the cheese grits were to die for, and the collard greens were tender and tasted as close to homemade as one could expect at a restaurant. The thing I most appreciate about the food here is that it's FLAVORFUL. There is a balance of herbs, spices, and salt, not just the overly salty taste that I've experienced at similar restaurants. I can't wait to return and try some of the other menu items. Oh, and don't forget to order a Swamp Juice (or two) in the keepsake jar!

First timer and extremely impressed. Large portions, great selection food. I had catfish and fries and salad. All great. Other 3 in my party had boil dish. Shrimp were large and yummy according to friends. Great service. Definitely will go back.

I had chicken wings and my grandson had the blackened swamp catfish platter two thumbs up 👍🏾 👍🏾 A very casual atmosphere with dim lighting setting off an ambiance of comfort… Our waiter Nick was very polite and even took our picture for us. Thank you Nick for such great service and the food was delicious… Oh and the most important part of all, It was making memory time. My grandson and he’s great grandmother enjoying a little bonding time.

This was our first time at Swampwater Grill and it certainly won't be our last. The food was awesome. The staff was friendly and helpful. The cute antique store was a fun walk through after our bellies were full. The interior had a southern feel and made me feel like I was back home in South Carolina. Love it all! Get the Jalapeño Poppers! So good!

The parking lot was full of cars in the smells coming from the restaurant were amazing. The host was great so there was an hour wait we got in in about 30 minutes. We got a cocktail before we sat down the bar service was great. We talked to some regulars, however there were a lot of first timers like us. The food was absolutely amazing I thought I was in New Orleans! A must try, You will not be disappointed. Please try the jalapeno appetizers.. amazing. I've never had catfish etouffee but it was great.

We can’t believe it took us so long to get here! We walked in and sat at the bar and were immediately greeted by the bartenders. They were awesome and super helpful with recommendations. The food was INCREDIBLE. The vibe was very chill and felt like we had been there 100 times. We will definitely be back!

First time here today, and we were impressed! Jessie was out server, and I want her every time we come back!! Haha, she was such a peach- and helped us through the menu! Everything was delicious, and came out very quickly for being busy! The decor is cozy, and the e will definitely be returning! We started with the cajun dipper, the swamp sauce is AMAZING!😊 We got the crawfish estouffee, shrimp po boy, red beans & rice! The corn cheese grits were SO yummy, and the Caesar dressing for my salad was homemade and tasty!
