Swamp Daddy's Cajun Kitchen

amazing food! wonderful staff!

The food was just so so. The service was not good. The waiter brought the menu and asked if we wanted water, we said we did, and he came back in a couple minutes with the water and then asked if we were ready to order. We said we needed five minutes, and that was it, he never came back. We had to go up to the counter toorder and then we basically had to chase him down to pay.

my fiance is from Louisiana and although I try so hard I can't give him the comfort food he misses so much! I don't have any gator laying around 😂 every time we have been there it does not disappoint! the crew is absolutely friendly, the environment is chill, and I love the art on the walls.

Some of the best gator and jumbo shirmp I had. The waitress was very knowledgeable of menu and recommended the items I had. Highly recommend this place

I ordered to deliver, the servings were well below what is served in the restaurant. They included the rice in my gumbo, so I barely had any soup ingredients.

Gumbo should be chunky, was more like shredded chicken; very little flavor. Jambalaya was marginally better. Best thing were the fried pickles. Severely disappointed.

Went there to eat Gator-bites & Okra! Waitress was courteous but not informative! Told me that they we're out of Gator-bites but would have them in mabey 30-40 minutes! Sat a waited 1 1/2 hours only to find out they never attempted to make them! Not happy with this place, as this is the 2nd attempt to eat Gator as they we're out, then also!

Came here for an event with my girlfriend, and overall, it was disappointing.

First, the wait staff were excellent. They were hustling, checking on tables frequently, and doing their best to manage the situation. This review is not about them—they deserve 5 stars.

The food, however, was overpriced for what we got. Portions were small, and the flavors didn’t align with what I’d consider authentic Southern cuisine. Seasoning seemed to be optional. On top of that, I only received half of my order because the kitchen ran out of food? If you’re hosting an event, plan accordingly and have extra. My plate consisted of a small fish filet, five shrimp, and two hushpuppies. My girlfriend’s portion of jambalaya was also underwhelming. Neither meal was worth the $17.99 per plate. That said, I appreciate the kind waiter who comped my meal since it was incomplete—thank you to him. Another gripe—any restaurant charging over $10 for a po'boy should be shut down. Po’boys are supposed to be cheap; it’s literally in the name. Charging $17-$20 for one is absurd. To the owner, either lower the prices or increase the portion sizes (preferably both)—they don’t match right now.

Speaking of the owner, I overheard who I assume was him lecturing a staff member about responsibility on the restaurant floor. If you’re going to have that conversation, take it to the back where customers won’t hear. The irony? The entire time I was there, I never once saw him assisting the wait or kitchen staff—just standing around. If you expect responsibility from your employees, lead by example. For them, it’s a paycheck; for you, it’s your reputation.

As for the event, it was supposed to run from 7-10 PM, but by 9 PM, nothing special was happening, so we left. If this was meant to be a dance party, it never happened while we were there.

Would not return unless serious changes are made. This place would not survive if it were actually in the South.

Having been born in Louisiana and growing up on the Gulf Coast eating Cajun, Creole, and soul food much of the time, I had my hopes up for Swamp Daddy's.

I ordered the fried fish and shrimp with a side of gumbo. Gumbo is a staple where I grew up, and I make it at home often. This gumbo was just okay as I am used to a gumbo with a lot of flavor and pop. For me, it was a bit on the bland side.

The shrimp and hushpuppies were also okay, even though the shrimp was overcooked and dry.

I tried the fries but didn't like them.

The best part of the meal was the fish as it was cooked well. It was also on the bland side so overall the food that I had could have been seasoned better.

The server was friendly and attentative and made sure I had what I needed.

Overall I would say Swamp Daddy's food is okay however, for the price, I expected better.

Keep in mind, I am from Louisiana so my expectations were high coming in.

I may try it again at some point.

This was a disappointing meal, the jambalaya Was dry and flavorless but the fish and hush puppies were quite good. The atmosphere was nice and the staff was friendly.
