Swampy's Bar & Grille

Great food, quick service, beautiful view & awesome servers. Second year visiting Ocala, second year visiting Swampys. Will be back for a third time next year.

I witnessed a host (later named Mackena) scream at an elderly lady..lady was flinching, probably worried she was going to get whacked with a menu..unwarranted, disgusting, shameful behavior.

not worth standing around for forty five minutes looking at empty tables while the hostess is talking on the phone

We are regulars there, to a degree. We had a family gathering last night of about 20 people for a surprise birthday. I cannot say enough about the food, service, drinks, and staff. Tip of the hat. Swampys never disappoints. Thank you for being a great place!

I used to come here mostly for the scenery but they were spot on the food and service today. I tried the spinach salad with grilled chicken and it was delicious. The poppy seed dressing was a little sweet but it grew on me. Others had a big burger and fries and loved it. Got seated at the table of our choice right away and served by a friendly and efficient waitress.love the screaming lemonade cocktail. The cypress swamp and wildlife were serene and lovely. Families with kids were enjoying the picnic area. I always enjoy bringing visitors here.

Andy, our server, might look like a youngin', but as it turned out, he is actually an OG. He took great care of us all through our meal and drinks, and made sure we didn't leave without two very generous pieces of key lime pie. The gumbo, gator bites, corn nuggets, and gator wrap were delicious. I am a sucker for Cajun food and this is my favorite place to eat in Dunnellon. Paddle your kayak right up to your table, but don't bring any gators with you, they already have plenty!

Unfortunately we had a bad experience. We were there last Sunday and the hostess was not kind, with a bad attitude she treated us very badly. Too bad why the place is beautiful
