I went in to Swamp City at 2:30 in the afternoon and the place was very busy. I had some boiled shrimp in the garlic butter, and some fried oysters. The food was fresh and very good. I'm not on the north side very often, but next time I am, I'll try to get back to Swamp City. read more

It took me forever to go and try out the place. Now I'm like I should have been walked in. The seafood is so flavorful and live to add the crawfish juice in my bag if boiled shrimp . Yeah there can be a bit of wait sometimes but what else you got to do. Definitely pop in to give them a go read more

Poor aux playlist , skipped every good song to some lame song would recommend to get rid of who ever plays the music

Pretty darn good. Not in the best area and parking isn't great either. But focusing on the food... it was really really good! Shrimp were clean! Crab was fresh! The Swamp Sauce is a must!!! We will definitely be back. read more

I really like this place even though I would like it a lot more if everything wasn't as spicy. Although u order a little spice just know it's still gonna have a kick. Don't get me wrong place is great just hotttt. I will never stop returning. read more

This is a really good crawfish spot. The restaurant is small and their tables were all sticky and dirty. However, we ordered because it smelled so good and the prices were reasonable. We definitely were not disappointed. The crawfish was delicious! We also ordered fish and shrimp with fries. The shrimp were really small, but good flavor, the fries seemed like they were sitting in grease. The fish was amazing! It had really great flavor. Sausage, potato, corn, were good and all three including the butter had to be purchased separately. They also sell tea and smoothies. I didn't try them, but a lot of people were ordering them. I'll have to try one next time. The reason I gave it 4 stars, is because the tables were really sticky and no one ever came to bring me a new bowl to empty my crawfish. I didn't get to post pictures, but will upload some next time! read more

First off let me start by saying, The atmosphere to this place is amazing, first thing when i walked in they greeted me, as music was playing in the background giving the environment such a fun place to be in. The Environment: Staff was so kind, and patient. They recommended me with so many choices on the menu. The manager and staff are always laughing and joking with every customer as I see walk in as im waiting on my food. The music they play is different variety and it keeps you singing and nodding your head. The Food: I ordered the Famous city pack, which is Cajun fried rice with boiled shrimp, and my GOD it was spicy delicious! I also got he bacon wrapped shrimp, which had jalapeno in it, and man that was good too especially when i dipped it into their SWAMP sauce. My girlfriend ordered the seafood platter, as we got the catfish, shrimp, and oyster. The batter and the way they fry it, is perfect. The Drinks: Yessss! They got smoothies, slushies, and tea. I got a green thai tea, which was milky good, as my girlfriend got the milk tea which also was really good. I'll have to try the smoothies next time i come in! What i noticed is that, this place isnt a fast food joint, everything is made fresh right when you order, so the wait is max 15-20 min depending on what you order. 5 STAR BECAUSE I WILL BE BACK! read more

Tried to come here after a few recommendations. The food was decent, the service was absolutely awful. Not worth the wait or the trouble.

GO TO LOTUS! Just tried swamp city for the first time. Tried to call in an order and was left on hold for 25 minutes until I finally hung up, and when I called back they didn't answer TWICE. Won't be giving my money to anybody In exchange for shitty customer service. But this loud pack I got from lotus is bomb :) read more

Very friendly food was so good rice wasn't over spicy I love this place n will certainly be back and Michael is one of a kind I think I met my new best friend he was awesome lol see you guys soon read more

Swamp City - So good - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Houston, Texas

The food is good and the prices are not expensive other seafood restaurants. I highly recommend this place because it's one of my go to restaurants where I know I can get outstanding food, the only drawback is that you go to have a debit or credit card when ordering over the phone read more

I love this place. They have great customer service skills. Very time conscious. Friendly workers. The food is so damn good. Lotus finally got a run for their money, food, and dusty ass customer service. read more

This place is not what it use to be . They have a bunch of young ghetto girls taking orders. Food is extremely salty . But I will say this they have some bombass smoothies. read more

This place is amazing the food absolutely delicious... you can order online so you won't have to wait

Food was really good, reminds me of lotus but less packed. Definitely will come back. Swamp sauce was real good too. read more

Swamp City - Couldnt wait to eat. Very good - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Houston, Texas

Love food makes for a heavy heart love one another leave phone at home and take two next time life good

I had my first visit last Thursday. I saw some negative reviews about service. I'm not sure what level of service they were expecting or if it was a bad day. This is a place with good food and good customer service. It's not formal dining, it's very casual dining where you go to the counter, order your food, sit, and wait for your number to be called for you to get it from the counter. It is clean and they serve different flavor smoothies. Their prices are awesome and that's why I will make the special trip into Houston when I want crab and shrimp. read more

Food is good, the lady who helped me order was nice, then they wanted to charge me for the sauce i already paid for and were rude. Oh and it took them 25 minutes to cook 3 order of chicken wings... Somebody should teach these people hospitality and time management. read more

I'm so upset at myself for coming here 3 days in a row. The gumbo is absolutely amazing! The chicken was better than BW3 and the fish was better than any other place I've been to. I will come here at least once a week. I forgot to mention the tea! You have to try the mango strawberry tea. read more

Was not impressed with the service or the food. Gave it a chance after reading other reviews but was not worth our time.

Went last night, haven't been in a while as always the food was great. There swamp sauce is unmatched. Crawfish were good and big as hell although a few were overcooked. Place clean but packed. Better go at a good time. And they are finally fixing the parking lot potholes!! Im a big sweet tea drinker, and didn't really like it. But overall great place still. read more

Food: We were in the mood for some craw-fish and heard about this place on a news feature and added it to our list of places to try. Ordering was quick due to the time we went to dinner, the person taking our order was really helpful. She explained the menu, the flavoring, sauces, etc. Order 6lbs of spicy garlic craw-fish, spicy garlic boiled shrimp, 2 corns, 2 sausages, 2 potatoes (which you have to pay for separately) and a small house rice (small is really a big portion) The craw-fish was flavored perfectly, they had some large, average sized and small craw-fish. The craw-fish tails were easy to peep. The shrimp tasted amazing as well and peeled easy. The rice was amazing with lots of small shrimp and craw fish tails. The corn was spicy and tasty as well as the sausage. Would be nice for at least 1 corn, 1 sausage, and 1 potato to be included per 1lb of craw-fish. Facility: 4 out of 5 The location was easy to find, and when we walked it was clean and a nice atmosphere. Restaurant was clean, restrooms were clean as well. You can BYOB so keep that in mind. Service: As mentioned previously, ordering was easy. Only issue I have is there's no one walking around asking if you need anything. Wife and I ordered water which came in a styrofoam cup. Would be better if they'd walk around refilling water. I had to drink my water slow so I wouldn't need a refill, since i didn't want to go up to the counter with craw-fish juice all over me. Also, they do not come and empty out your craw-fish bucket so we had to use the empty containers from our rice and shrimp. Once we were done, no one came around to take any of our finished containers. (which is really not an issue, we are more than capable of cleaning up after ourselves) just thought i'd mention it so you will know what to expect or not to expect. Overall we would come back, next time i will definitely byob. Thanks for reading read more

By far, one of the greatest Cajun restaurants in all of Houston. The place is packed, but the food is amazing. The shrimp there is to die for. Highly recommend for anyone looking to eat well. Be warned, this place gets busy af. read more

I'm addicted to this place! Although lately the rice has tasted a lot different and not as good. But I still go and get their boiled seafood. read more

1 word AMAZING! I just tried this place a couple of days ago, because of all the great things that I heard about it. I order the city pack and some fried fish filets. Everything tasted great and the wait wasn't to long at all. They remind me of Lotus, but better. I plan on going back, but next time I'm ordering the Swamp Pack with a boiled turkey neck on the side . read more

The crawfish... omfg. Amazing, buttery and saucy. Very garlicky. I found it by mistake but I am glad I did. Might make the drive next year during crawfish season. read more

Food was great it came out hot and fresh. It was seasoned perfectly. It was also very inexpensive for the amount of food given.

It was just okay. It really wasn't all it was cracked up to be. Definitely would not be my 1st option. Especially if I'm having to wait over 45 minutes each time. read more

The crab legs and the fries are too die for. It's nice that they show you your food to make sure nothing is missing. My boyfriend and I went there because they name sounded fun. When we got there we saw this huge line of people and whenever there's a line it must be good food awaiting. read more

You can not go wrong with the city pack. It's so good my team travels out their way to get this food.

This place has the best loud pack. I love the sauce the rice comes with. Their portion size is really great compared to their price.

This was my first time visiting Swamp city restaurant my and I. We went to have her birthday dinner there. I was good I cant wait to go back this weekend. It was priced well for how much food we got plus free refills on fountain drink whoop whoop. read more

Very good food!!!! Rice was delicious and boiled crab was great! Be aware their hot is REALLY hot! The line can get really long so I would recommend calling in your order ahead of time. read more
