Swamp John's Restaurant is a local favorite, serving up delicious dishes in a quirky, old-gas-station-turned-dining-spot. The southern fried catfish is legendary, and the restaurant also offers other items that are satisfying and fresh. On Thursdays, diners can enjoy the fried fish with homemade tartar sauce. The friendly staff and native folks of Red Bay provide a warm welcome, making the atmosphere casual and inviting. Although the building shows its age with peeling paint and an unmodernized interior, the focus remains on the tasty food and generous portion sizes. Visitors may find the entrance a bit confusing, as it can be intimidating for newcomers. However, the quality of the food, including the flaky catfish, BBQ beans, and well-cooked steak, makes this restaurant a must-visit spot in town. Despite its humble appearance, Swamp John's impresses with its exceptional service and good prices, making it worth checking out if in the vicinity.
