Swamp Cafe

The BEST crawfish étouffée I've ever had in my life. Everything we ordered was fantastic, made fresh, and very reasonably priced. Chef David is so nice- we had an awesome conversation with him about how he started cooking and his time living in New Orléans. He gave us beignets on the house at the end of our meal, and they were delicious! Can't recommend coming here enough!

David is the best, I recently visited there for lunch. I had a great experience.

Great food, very generous portion sizes and the owner is so sweet! Very knowledgeable and helped us decide what to order. Highly recommend this place! Dietary restrictions: Very accommodating with my shellfish allergy, and I had no problems even though the rest of my party was eating shrimp!

The food is exceptional, as is the owner’s hospitality. It’s my go-to place when I’m in the area. I just returned to the area and can’t wait to visit! Dietary restrictions: The owner accommodates customers restrictions and needs faithfully in my experience

I went there an hr ago and i tried his New Orleans food. Perfect, chef David knows how to make it

I had the fried shrimp, jambalaya, and the beignets. All the three were great and had lots of flavor. The jambalaya was my favorite. It being halal is a plus.

Looking for some catfish and came across this gem! If you haven't been here yet, make sure you stop by! We had the shrimp etuoffe, seafood gumbo, chicken gumbo, fried oysters, shrimp, catfish, and beignets. The service is friendly, hospitable and family oriented. Thank you for the delicious food!

I can’t believe I’m just discovering this place!! Been wanting to try cajun food for soo long but it’s so hard to find halal. Also, had the sweetest, nicest talk with the chef/owner himself. He lived in New Orleans for almost 30 years so he knows cajun food well and you can tell by the food he makes!! He told me everything is 100% halal and even showed me where he buys the meat and everything. Def coming back and I 1000% recommend it to anyone.

Eating here is an absolute pleasure. I came with friends, and we had the shrimp etouffee, seafood combo basket, fried chicken basket, and the beignets. The portions were huge and filling, and most importantly, the food was absolutely delicious. The shrimp etouffee was rich, well spiced, and generous with the shrimp; the fried baskets were fresh and not greasy; and the beignets were fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside. You can really tell that the awesome chef/owner has spent almost half of his life in New Orleans from how it tastes. It's really properly home cooked food, and was well worth the drive from UTD. I highly recommend anyone looking for proper authentic Cajun food go here.
