“Meat and 3 cafeteria style place with food that will make you close your eyes and remember your grandma's cooking. SO GOOD!

Friendly quirky staff and a funky cool fun bathroom you just HAVE to see! Not even kidding, check out their bathroom. (you'll see and you'll be glad you did! 😄)

I had the Red Beans and Rice with Sausage and the Greens. Unbelievable! The Greens were incredible. Sweet and savory at once.

My daughter had the smoked wings. Excellent! The Green beans and Mac & cheese were awesome.

My son had the stewed chicken over rice WOW!

My wife had the fried chicken breast with creamed mashed potatoes. So good!

Huge portions and friendly no frills casual atmosphere.

Best meal we had on this trip!

Highly recommend!“

“Excellent experience overall. The service was great and the food was absolutely delicious. The barbecue is top quality, full of flavor and very well prepared. The atmosphere is amazing as well, with blues music that really sets the vibe.

Coming from South Texas, where barbecue is taken very seriously, we can confidently say that this place knows how to do barbecue right.

Special thanks to Chef Roderick for an outstanding job—everything was perfectly done. Highly recommended.“

“Pulled pork and jerk bbq sauce were delicious. The jerk bbq sauce is the best I’ve ever eaten (so far). Customer service is lacking, my takeout order wasn’t received and they didn’t want to fulfill the order. I wouldn’t recommend this location based upon the customer service but I do recommend the jerk bbq sauce.“

“5-piece wing is reasonably priced. Fries are seasoned just right, and there was an electrical outlet available in the clutch for my phone.

This place has an unassuming, but cozy sit-down bar with cushioned seats. These small accoutrements are just what a Canal and Bourbon Street wanderer needs for Super Bowl weekend.“

“0n a recommendation from our small haunted hotel we hit MRB for lunch. The catfish po boy was outstanding. Their drink specials were just right and reasonably priced. Two days later, we went back to try the alligator sandwich and some charbroiled oysters also spot Definitely would not call this a tourist trap. It’s like most of Nola, funky, functional and fun. Don’t confuse with Mr bs“

“We visited this Swig and Swine location yesterday. It was an absolute wonderful experience! As soon as we walked in we were greeted with big smiles! Everyone was so friendly! We were already happy with our decision to give it a try without even ordering yet! Our waitress was fantastic! We had a nice window table to see the sun shining on the water. When the food came out it was perfect. I got the PB&J wings and hubby got the catfish! EVERYTHING was DELICIOUS! Our cups stayed full and we legit had a great time! HIGHLY Recommend trying this location! Great food, service and people!“

“This is the food truck that I believe was at the Jacksonville Jazz Festival 2025 because I tried searching for them in Jacksonville but couldn’t find a location. If so, the food was fire!🔥

Hear me when I say (or type), the brisket nachos was a 20 out of 10! Never had anything like it but was thoroughly impressed. Hopefully I get a chance to experience them again soon in Jax.

if not, if I’m I’m ever back in NOLA, I will be sure to visit them.

I didn’t get a photo because they were gone that fast.“
