Miss this restaurant, great food and atmosphere!
I really miss this restaurant and wish it could reopen. My experience was defined by good food and a good atmosphere. The overall experience was so positive that I truly wish it were still open.

Favorite Coconut Curry Prawns - Hope it Reopens!
My experience at this restaurant was centered around their amazing coconut curry prawn and rice bowl. It was my favorite place for this dish. Unfortunately, it's sad that it has been closed due to COVID-19. I truly hope it reopens soon!

Dish Portion Disappointment
I did weigh my food just to see if it was an honest restaurant. One of my dishes weighed the right amount. But the expensive dish came up short. This will be on the “no go place” list. Should just bring back the old owners.

Horrible Service, Nasty Food, High Prices
My experience at this restaurant was not good at all. The service was HORRIBLE, and there's not much to say about the NASTY flavor of their food. Additionally, the prices are too high for the portion they offer.

Delicious Cajun with a Side of Noodles
My experience at this Cajun restaurant was quite positive, especially regarding the food. The garlic noodles were a standout dish, even more so than the crawfish I also tried. The atmosphere was quiet, and the service was good, though the small staff might lead to slower service if the restaurant gets busy. Overall, it's a good Cajun option.

Inexpensive Food, Messy Experience
My experience at this restaurant was defined by its incredibly inexpensive food. I've found myself dining here frequently, even though I don't live in San Francisco. The main drawback I encountered was how messy things can get when you really start digging into your meal.

Excellent Food and Service!
My experience at the restaurant was fantastic! Cindy and Steve provided the best service. The food was consistently great, featuring delicious lobster, crab boils, garlic noodles, corn, potato, and calamari. Happy holidays! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Amazing Seafood, Awkward Atmosphere
My experience at this restaurant was defined by some of the best seafood I’ve ever had. However, I'm giving it 4 stars due to the somewhat awkward atmosphere.

Overpriced and Subpar Food
My experience at Swamp a few days ago was disappointing. The restaurant is overpriced with subpar food quality. I ordered the fried soft-shelled crab and Cajun fries. The soft-shell crab was SUPER SMALL, had no meat, and cost $10 for just one tiny piece – a total rip-off. The fries were good, but still overpriced for the quantity. I disliked the dipping sauce for the fries; it tasted like a mix of Tabasco and shrimp cocktail sauce, which was kind of gross. To add to the frustration, when I sat down, I was given a drink menu where only half the drinks had prices. My friend's can of Sprite was $3, another total rip-off! I will never be coming back here again. It was so bad I didn't even want to pay.

Disappointing Dinner for 2
My experience at the restaurant was pretty okay, but ultimately disappointing. We ordered the dinner for 2 crab, but unfortunately, we never received our bangaise or the dessert that was supposed to come with it. The hottest sauce they offered was just okay; it tasted like ramen noodle packet seasoning with added heat. The accompanying coldspawns were bland and excessively vinegary. Considering the total bill came to 74 dollars after taxes, it was definitely not worth it. The service was rated 5 out of 10, and the food was decent at best. I wouldn't recommend this place.
