Swamp Buck Restaurant & Lounge

Stopped in on a motorcycle ride as a referal fron the gas station. The food was delicious. The service was very good and the prices were good.

I would give zero stars if I could. They overcook everything. Chicken marsala has dark poutine gravy. Fajitas also have poutine gravy, it was disgusting. I've been here a few times and ordered different things. Disappointed every single time.

Sad experience. There is no color on the plate, a terrible presentation. I had to open containers of butter and sour cream for my baked potato (why make the guest do all this work). Once I broke into the salmon, it was cold inside. I paid $27 for what you see, including a wilted garden salad with 2 cherry tomatoes (one exploded on my blouse. Kitchen cut your stupid tomato in half, it looks like more, and you can poke it with a fork!) Never again. Won't ever be back. They didn't care about me or their food presentation. Sad. Overpriced, overrated, ridiculous.

Seems expensive for the area but the food was good

Very slow service.
One waitress doing other things.
The fries were barely warm.
Fish not fresh and over cooked.
Cole slaw was like eating candy it was so sweet.
Though the plate was warm.
Burger overcooked and tasteless.
Ok roll.
Two meals for 42 dollars that were worth 25 swamp bucks.
Not a place worth going to even once.
Very disappointing that nothing is fresh.

A place of reason and normalcy in a culturaly repressive region. A beacon a modernism and thinkinking rational people . That town and restaurant are much like Boston in those ways .

I love this place, great food and ambiance.

Service has went downhill greatly over the past couple months, extremely long wait times. I had placed a takeout order at 3pm, they said it would be ready for 5pm, did not get the food until almost 6pm and while waiting I was basically ignored. Took 45 minutes today to make a sandwich and the attendant was rude.

Not going back.

Food is really good here! I feel portion sizes could be bigger for take-out. Small portions if you order to go but have never had the time to dine in. You know us truckers were hungry and always on the move!

Took my young son to lunch. Waitress sat us and took our drink order. A family of 6 came in. She apparently knew them and proceeded to get their drinks, order and crayons for them. After she told my kiddo they didn't have any crayons. He was upset. After they got their food she finally took our order. It took an hour for 2 meals. We ended up being stuck there for an hour and a half. We will not be returning. Sad to because there aren't many places to eat here.

Food was delicious, very busy but worth the wait.

We were there on a very busy night.
The ladies working the front never stopped moving - they were slammed and my drink never ran out, nor did I need to request a refill.
Phenomenal service and the food was also fantastic!!

This appeared to be one of the best options for us in the Fort Kent area for grabbing a meal before the nearby brewery would open. Service was alright, definitely better than some of the other stops in Aroostook County. We got sat decently quick and food showed up in a good amount of time. Attentiveness and any form of checking in was severely lacking. There were some other patrons at the time, but the restaurant was by no means busy. Despite that this place is a spot that has an atmosphere and overall vibe that screams rural Maine and gives that warm and welcoming feeling as you step in. Lights made from antlers, lots of wood used, etc. I envision this is a spot that has many locals that are regulars here that maybe visit weekly or even daily. The food menu has a good number of options and I think just about everyone including picky eaters could easily find something they would like. I thought the food was quite good, better than average but not mind-blowing and maybe not bites I will be thinking about long term and craving it again. My meal the chicken fingers were tasty yet were significantly smaller than most places I have had the same meal. Prices were also reasonable. Overall, I do believe this is a solid option for this area and it should be a generally positive experience for you.

The best prime rib I’ve had in a long time and our onion straws was a great starter and the cold beer can’t go wrong

Fun place with great food and many menu options! Right on main street, it's easy to find. Friendly staff kept us refreshed with drink refills and extra napkins.

Large portions and lots of condiment options.

Stop in and enjoy great food and great people!
