This is the place you wanna go to. Great food, friendly service and awesome owners. I got the red beans and rice and a shrimp taco. Both were good but that taco was delicious. My husband and I shared a breand pudding and it was dang good. I highly recommend treating yourself.

I planned on getting a cheeseburger at Glenn's but a store manager said we should try Swamp Monster. My sister only had an hour and the server said seafood and roast beef are quickest. I had fried shrimp. They were not split but fried golden brown and very good. The 2 owners came to say hi, We had a primary server but at least 2 more check in on us. The small dining room was packed.

Was looking for a lunch spot for our church motorcycle group. Saw the name and immediately thought "We gotta go there". Looked at the reviews and it was confirmed. Five of us made the ride and ate there yesterday. Food was great and service was great. It was also great to meet the owner and hear the story of how the restaurant got its name. Overall, great experience.
I wish I could give 10 stars! First time in Franklinton. Driving the school bus for the Belle Chase HS baseball team by way of New Orleans and googled seafood near by. Saw this spot and took a try. The catfish was FRESH (not Swai) and very well seasoned. The staff was super nice and polite. Checked on me every 15 minutes. Meet the owner Antonio, very nice guy. Let me try their seafood gumbo. Superb! ????

Our server, adorable. Food, fantastic! Loved the Cajun cigars and swamp thang! And Don't forget their beignets! I'll be
We tried this place tonight and we are we have zero regrets. We were a party of 6 (5 females ages 6-50 something and my husband) we ordered 2 apps, 1 kids meal, 5 entrees and 2 desserts. Everything was delicious. The restaurant decor is not to be missed. It was so much fun and the attention to detail made it one of the coolest looking places I have been in a while. We highly recommend getting the “filthy swamp thang” But again, it was all so good. Catfish was fried crisp, shrimp had a perfect crunch outside without being dry, it was all fresh tasting. Seasoning was spot on. Well seasoned without being overwhelming or just spicy. A lot of places just make things overly spicy and call it seasoning. Not here. The owner was in the house and very engaging with fun stories. It was obvious that he loved what he did. Our server did a great job handling our busy table. It was a fun night and we will definitely be returning to try something else. On the way home we decided to go back for a poboy soon. I didn’t ask but I just know that man uses the good French bread for them. Bet.Kid-friendliness: The owner took extra time to chat with our little girls. Before we left he gave each girl a little Sasquatch tattoo and a sticker. They were excited.
Fantastic food and great service. The owner was super friendly! We will definitely be back.

Stopped in for dinner for the first time. Been wanting to try it after hearing good reports of their burgers. So... I went all out for the triple by-pass burger and seafood loaded fries for our table. I'm here to attest that the burgers are as good as you've heard! Had mine swamp style with grilled onions and mushrooms. And yes... I had to eat it with a fork! I'll be back again soon... and probably order the same thing too. Great place, and the owner was super friendly and attentive!
