Had lunch at the Swamp for the first time since it moved locations. Same great college atmosphere and food was good and reasonably priced. Brought back some great memories of the original location circa the 90's!

Friday night before a game, so the place was nuts! Loud, crowded and loads of fun. Burgers were outstanding but pretty small.. pulled pork and Philly cheesesteak were just average. Portions definitely in the small side. But lots of fun!

Tierby and Kylie were absolutely amazing during my visit to The Swamp! Their service was warm, attentive, and made the whole dining experience feel special. They went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect — from recommendations to checking in with genuine care. The food was great, but their hospitality made it unforgettable. Definitely ask for them if you visit
