Swamp Tales offers a range of dishes, with the shrimp po boy and catfish trunks receiving positive comments for their taste and freshness. Many customers praised the delicious food, including the shrimp po boy, fried chicken, spaghetti, salads, and beignets, which were said to be even better than those at Disney World. The catfish filet dinner was also highly rated, with some describing the catfish as literally melting in their mouths. The service received mixed reviews; some found the waitstaff attentive, friendly, and efficient, especially mentioning a waitress named Lauren, while others experienced slower service. The atmosphere has been improved with a recent remodel, creating a pretty cool spot for a small-town setting. The restaurant features a separate band area, and bartenders providing better customer interaction. Parking is plentiful due to its rural location. Overall, the restaurant has become a favorite for many, who appreciate the good food, friendly staff, and inviting atmosphere, with suggestions for improvements in service consistency.
