Swamp Cafe - Dallas/Ft Worth AP

Delicious food, amazing service! The owner was super friendly and hilarious. I brought my family here for the halal options, and had asked if they had any gluten free options expecting to eat beans and rice. To my surprise, he said fried chicken was battered in rice flour, and he even offered to let me read hot link ingredients just to make sure. When we ordered beignets, he created something special for me that I’m pretty sure he may have pulled from his personal stash. He went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience, it felt like he was serving us out of his home. The cafe au lait was also high quality and delicious. We will definitely be back!

I've been trying to eat here for a long time but every time I decide to swing by, this place is closed (during business hours). I'm done trying. It's a joke. The reviews have been great and I live close by but I'm done disappointing my wife with the promise of beignets and cafe au lait. We'll just find another spot.

I arrived at Swamp Cafe, only to find that there was no one there. Looking in the window this restaurant have a lot of boxes everywhere, the menu was not on a proper board it was written on paper hanging from the ceiling. I called the emergency number the man that owned the restaurant said he will be there in 15 to 20. I was going to leave but I thought no let's check this out because the rating for the food was good. I should have followed my own instinct and just leave, not only did the guy cook the food he ran the register and clean the tables, not very but one person to cook and clean. The food was below-average so I don't know what all the great reviews was about. I do not recommend this place and I would never return.

Being native to New Orleans and living in Dallas, I am always looking for food that takes me back home. I found just that at Swamp Cafe. To top off the great food, you’ll find yourself in an old fashioned first name basis humorous conversation with David. I often intend to order takeout but end up dining in. The price for this amazing food is beyond fair and reasonable.

The food here is consistently amazing! I have been 3 times and I have loved the food every time. Go support local business by eating here! You will be blown away by the flavor in the gumbo and jambalaya. The chicken po-boy is also delicious!! The beignets are amazing too!The only improvement I’d ask for is to play some background music at the restaurant to improve the atmosphere for guests who decide to sit and eat their food rather than order it to-go.Dietary restrictions: All the meat is halal
