Swampfire Backwoods Bistro

The rib eye was huge and tender, the baked potatoes put a smile on this Texas gals face. I just not a fan of sweet steak. However I brought that huge bad boy home and slapped some butter in a pan threw some mesquite seasoning and lemon pepper on it and warmed it up and OMGOSH I went to town. I of course had to share with my baby girl .

Food used to be better ! This WAS a gem , not so much anymore. Who ever heard of having to pay extra for a salad with your steak and potato. To me these 3 will always go together. Just my opinion

Amazing place, excellent food and great service

Fantastic steaks, prepared like no other restaurant. Worth the road trip from Jax!

What a great place! The atmosphere, service and food are amazing. The owners speaking with the guests is always a great touch!

I wish there were more places like this, a true gem!

Great food, great service!

Very small dining room so reservations are essential. The staff was wonderful and kept drinks and bread flowing. I ordered blackened shrimp. I started to eat and noticed a long hair (def not mine) across several of the shrimp and alerted the waitress who brought out another dinner for me and comped the meal. I
wasn't going to say anything but another in my party did it on my behalf.

I will say the service is far better than the food. I also got to sample a friend's food who had steak and that was really good. When I go back, I'll try that next time.

We had an awesome dinner. The food, and hospitality were excellent. I had steak and scallops with mashed potatoes and broccoli. Really enjoyed the salad as well. My husband enjoyed his meal as well.
I rarely order steak out but decided to do surf and turf tonight. I made an excellent choice. It’s a quiet dirt gravel road in and out of Backwoods Swamp Water Bistro. Love the drive. Just outside Folkston Ga and well worth it. Make a reservation and take the drive. Open Friday and Saturday evenings.

Went for a wedding it is absolutely gorgeous

My husband's coworker highly recommended Swampfire. When we arrived we thought they were closed since there were no cars parked. We discovered we were the first guests to arrive for the evening and were greeted warmly when we entered. Everything was top notch, from the warm dinner rolls, the salad with Strawberries and raspberries, to the perfectly seasoned ribeye. And the service was outstanding! Definitely worth the drive from Fernandina Beach. Next time we'll save room for dessert!

My steak was not good at all. It tasted like it was soaked with charcoal lighter fluid. Other than that everything was great. We are not the type to complain so we it's just not our taste of food.

Fabulous. Wonderful place. Food is worth the drive.

I was blown away by how good the steak and seafood was, it was by luck that I found it and the setting outside under the oak trees really sets the romantic mood. The seating and tables were a little small but that does add to the setting. The ribeye steak was huge and did not need anything due to it being seasoned and cooked to perfection. It was very reasonable on price, and well worth the value because of the quality of the food. I will be back again and again, it's hard to find a place that can serve a steak as good as Swampfire Backwoods Bistro. It is like a rare gem that only a few know about! I could see it being a great place to listen to live blues music, sipping on the good wine, or another beverage that they serve and letting letting all of your senses take in the atmosphere. I'm ready to go back!

This place is like a hidden gem. It is small, quaint, yet elegant. The server is so attentive and friendly. The food is amazing. We had steak and seafood entrees and a bottle of wine. It was such a nice and enjoyable experience.
