Probably the worst of the past 20 years, just like a lot of other eateries no one care about how to serve the public. 4 dinners 2 fish 2 Chicken should have been served to the trash.
Piping hot fish with old fries.....a match made for the garbage can!!! Yall gots to do better

Was open only through drive-thru because they had a group inside, but the entire front dining area was empty. After the group left, I asked if we could come in to eat instead of eating at one of the tables outside because it was really hot outside even though it was almost 8 PM. Was told no because they were cleaning the dining area where the group had been. While there both sitting waiting on the food to get ready and then sitting outside to eat there were probably 5 people who read the sign on the door and just turned around and left, even after the group had gone.
My order was supposed to be two plates with two whole Catfish with two sides and four extra orders of hushpuppies. When we got the order, there were 3 filets in each box. I again ordered WHOLE Catfish, which would have equal 4 filets, not 3. I was also surprised that the hushpuppies had sugar in them, the tarter sauce was made with mustard, and the fries were cold.
I think you can tell by this review that this was our first time eating here and will definitely be our last. Oh, and the best part was that it cost close to $50.

First time to eat at Swamp Johns. I ordered a large whole catfish. I have ate all over the country and I guess I expect things. I payed too much for 2 medium size at best catfish. I figured I was getting 3. Thats my fault.The tastexwas good just felt like I got short changed. This was a to go order so to add insult to injury I payed for Banana Pudding and 1 strawberry cake that didnt get put in our bag of food. I am dissapointed in what cost me 84.91for 5 people to eat. I will not be back.
