The standout for me is the awesome Swampy’s étouffée—rich, flavorful, and packed with that authentic Cajun kick . The margarita was perfecto and service was awesome.
On top of the food, the atmosphere was beautiful and really set the tone for a fun evening. The highlight was definitely the live singer playing steel drums, which added an awesome touch to the whole vibe.
Highly recommend Swampy’s for anyone looking for fresh food, great flavors, and a unique, enjoyable dining experience!
Some friends and I came down from the spring head on our paddleboards and we stopped at Swampy’s to grab lunch.
I ordered the shrimp ceviche. It was basically whole, boiled shrimp thrown into some watery salsa. There was no acid and no real flavor except gross salsa. I took one bite and sent it away. I decided to give them another try and ordered their “specialty” which is the gator bites. They were 100xs better than the salsa shrimp, but still not great. Half the pieces I got were gristly and popped in my mouth like chewing rubber bands. Also the remoulade was a bit thin, but did have nice flavor.
One of my friends ordered the swamp salad and asked for no green onions. When her salad arrived it was full of partially cut green onion pieces. She decided to just pick them out and let it go. Then the bartender came up with a while be salad, without her asking, because not only did hers have a ton of green onion but they’d left off the bacon which she hadn’t even noticed.
Oh, and when we asked to be seated and told the waitress that we had one other person arriving shortly we were refused seating and told we had to wait for our other party to arrive. We ended up hanging at the bar and then sat ourselves at one of the tables out by the parking lot.
So, while I absolutely would not eat here again, I’d stop after a long paddle for a cold beer.
*****IF YOU ARE PAYING WITH A CREDIT CARD***** you will pay what the restaurant is getting charge for providing credit form of payment to the customer. As of right now today it was 3% ♂️
Service was SLOW. The staff was friendly enough, but everything took too long.
Food… We had Gumbo, which was served on rice. It was pretty good, but a little too thick to be gumbo.
Entrees: shrimp & crawfish ettoufe was OK. Very, very spice.
Red beans and sausage was terrible. Tasted like they put a cup of liquid smoke on the dish. We ended up throwing both out when we got home with leftovers. Both dishes looked like they sat under a heat lamp for awhile, also.
Location was great, right on the Rainbow River.
