Swamp Johns in Red Bay

As I recently visited the restaurant I noticed the floors looked exceptionally great .as of course the food was great as always .my family and I enjoyed our visit very much .

The menu was not the same as on line neither were the prices. It was significantly more expensive and certainly not as pictured. We were very disappointed and would not recommend it.

Went there for a benift today and was overwhelmed with how much this place gives to the community. Top notch people

Whan you get there you will wonder if you are even in the right spot, and yes you are. Its a very simple place and they even have a home made drive through window (nice tough). The staff was friendly and got everything in our order correct. The wait time for food was about whats to be expected for a fish and steak house. Overall we were highly satisfied and definitely plan on going back. (Its a 45 minute drive for us)

I just ate one of the best ribeyes I've ever had. Perfect!

Best catfish in Alabama

Ordered a fish plate to go I requested tartar sauce. When I got the plate it had no tartar sauce. The kid at the window was clearly out of place didn't have a clue. I asked for the sauce and got home and it was ranch. I only got two very small hush puppies.

Good food

Food was awesome .

My wife told me all about this place before I visited. She & a few of her friends & relatives raved about it. I must say that it does have a style all its own. When you first drive up, you will think you are at an abandoned gas station. However, on other days the line for ordering goes out the door. It is a dive/hole-in-the-wall if ever there was one. It seems to be a bit of an acquired taste that locals absolutely love. If you're not from around here, it may take some getting used to. But I do recommend you give it a try if you are ever in the area. The catfish is the meal my wife loves most. Took a bit for me to appreciate it. But I happily go back when in the area. Just about everything is fried of course, and the tea is every bit as sweet as expected from in the South. I suggest you get everything to go since seating is very limited. Try it out to see if it is for you. But don't be shocked the messiness of the place. You're here for the taste, not the luxury.

Chocolate Gravy is da bomb!!

And awesome place for a quick lunch or to just sit and chill

Don't miss the local flavor here. Awesome catfish! Never had a bad meal. Worth a drive.

So freindly,they have the best banana pudding I have ever eaten,other than my mother in laws

Unusual place with Very Good Catfish and Hamburgers. Will stop here again.

Fish plates are amazing! Best fish around!!!

Great place to eat and the owners are wonderful people.

Good food

Great food, friendly service. Breakfast,lunch, and Supper on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Glad we have them close by.

Food was awesome. Had catfish and shrimp. Building was a little bit on the cool side. But food was fantastic. Thank you John.

Love the food and the family that owns it. They are very good friends. They also have helped a lot of people !!

Best breakfast in town! Staff are very friendly. Would never had thought to stop here, looks like an abandoned gas station. You have to try it! You won’t be disappointed. I can’t speak for lunch & dinner have not had a chance to try yet.

Very good food. Is a meat and two. They have more than just seafood. Very quick service to cover the lunch rush in Red Bay.

Great food and service

Food was outstanding great service

They have very good steak and good fried catfish on the bone. ;)

Restaurant is very unclean .order was wrong food was hardly warm spite the temp of the dinning area which was HOT ..

Outstanding fried catfish, great true southern food nothing fancy but you will not go away hungry

Food was great. Service was too. The place is what I'd call a dive, part of the experience. I've had their catering a few times, the food is never a disappointment.

Long, long wait in a long, long line. Guess everyone likes to eat here. I can see why. Food was terrific.

Food is great!! Placed a Togo order and they let it sit on the counter. I asked the lady at the register if my order was ready she said oh yeah here it is... I said oh I wonder how long it has been sitting there. Oh I dunno she replied. I said I had been sitting for 30 minutes waiting. She said well I didn't take your order. Hmm ok. Togo order- no silverware, no napkins, no ketchup.Food is great as usual but service could use some help.

Food was very good! We had the buffer. 2 sides and drink were included. Don't expect fine dining but if you like dives, this is the place to go.

I went there for lunch at 11:30 am and they were out of everything. The waitress was like oh well sorry.

Very rude I couldn't even get a fork to eat with I was ignored.

Original Swamp Johns still has it going on! Even when it's not a 🐟 night!

We were in Red Bay getting our Tiffin Motorcoach serviced. There’s decent eats ariund but this is hands down the best Grilled Catfish in this neck of the woods and on par with Texas best. Not oily yet tender and moist with just the right amount of seasoning that brings out the fish flavor without smothering it with spice. Generous helping too. We loved the hospitality. It‘s a reason we‘ll be back.

Great food from the breakfast bar to placing your order. Highly recommend
