Swamp Shack Lake Jackson

We figured we'd try the Swamp shack for lunch. We'd have to say the Gator tail balls were very good and the jalapeño ranch was very tasty. Our waitress seemed like she was rushing us out and but was good. The restaurant itself was decorated like a shack and had music playing in the background. Would go back to give it another try...

Swamp shack has a great variety of seafood.I recommend this place any time. The staff are attentive and timely in getting your food out to you.

By far the best raw oysters around! So fresh. I will be back next time I'm in town.

Man am I glad I came across this little spot! We walked in and received the friendliest of service and had some of the most authentic gumbo I've had since my family's- it's a rare occasion gumbo will take me back home but this place knocked it our of the water! We will be returning for their Sunday Buffett, which offers a little bit of everything southern Cajun to try(: Seriously- give this place your tastebuds(:

Great food. Friendly professional service. Everything twisted great. I just wished they served greens.

What a great find as we headed to the beach for our anniversary. The food was amazing, the service so friendly, and on the way to Surfside!The redfish was simply delightful and full of flavor. Perfect cream sauce w crawfish and it comes w my favorite, dirty rice!The shrimp and grits had some of the best shrimp I've ever had!Thought they might do something for our anniversary, but probably t the type of spot.

Really thought the buffet every Sunday is a STEAL! For only $23 per person you get all sorts of food, including gumbo, etouffe, stuffed crab, fried okra, dirty rice, fried shrimp, and a bunch of other shrimps and fish. I was craving gumbo so the ayce really hit the spot, and the crawfish etouffe was absolutely delicious. As you can see in the picture, they're quite generous with the proteins. My bowls were packed with shrimps and crawfish. Dirty rice was also a favorite at our table, and cocktail shrimp was so plump and juicy. All in all, every menu item could hold its own and I was very impressed considering that it was buffet food.

I love swamp shack! I love their food and their Sunday buffet. The service is always good. The atmosphere is fun. Super happy with this restaurant!

I would give one star, but giving two stars only because the wait staff was so nice.We had seen on Facebook that the Swamp Shack had a buffet spread on Sundays and thought we'd give it a try.It was not a "spread". Just a bunch of fried food, soup and shrimp. The $2 mimosas were pretty decent and that's about it. Most everything on their buffet was over-cooked and dry. You couldn't even tell what one dish was from the next.We paid $23 each for a few bites of food. Maybe their regular menu items are better, but we will never know. Avoid the buffet, unless you are looking to just eat a bunch of bland fried food.The cobbler was served in a paper dish and tasted like cardboard. Was so disappointing.We really wanted to like this place, but it just wasn't worth what we paid. It looks cute enough, but just kind of meh. Some TVs with random sports on, no music. Bright walls and tributes to our military, which was nice, but we left less than satisfied.

I don't like swamp shack. It's gross. Don't know why they put one here. I got food poisoning one time from the grilled oysters.
