Swamp Chicken Mo City

First time here to support a Black owned business during Black History Month. It was a slow Tuesday night with a few customers so the atmosphere was quiet except for light conversation from a few other patrons. Our server, Damara, seemed to be the only one working the floor, so she was kept busy and did a good job. I ordered the Creole style pasta with shrimp,chicken, sausage and my friend had the fish,shrimp and fries. Deliciously seasoned, good portion sizes, and it hit the hunger spot just right! I saw 2 guys cooking in the kitchen and one lady bartender. They have a nice assortment of drinks and two big flat screens over the bar, which can be seen by everyone. This is located in a shopping center, so there is plenty of free parking! I recommend a visit to this new spot. Service was good and friendly and I will be back!

This was my first time eating here. When we went, we didn’t realize it was karaoke night. It was very, very loud in there. That’s a personal preference for me - I know plenty of others would not be bothered by that. The restaurant itself was very cool to look around and special shout out to the gold glitter in the floor - so cool! I HIGHLY recommend the fried grits. Omg so good!! The fry on the wings were absolutely perfect. You’ve got to try the boudin stuffed wings - they’re neat. Highly recommend this place. Would be happy to go back!

Our family had driven by the restaurant a few times and we had been wanting to stop by and try it out. We are so glad we did! Our waitress was extremely kind and patient with the questions we had about the menu. I knew the food would be ‘bussin’ for the lack of better words, when they started playing RN&B hits and their sweet tea was delicious. We all got different orders, so I can only speak for the crab and the stuffed wings. For the crab, the taste was there however, since it was fried, the meat was a stuck to the shell and was very hard to get out and the shell was very brittle. I think the method of cooking could be a little better but it was still delicious. Now the star of the show was the fried chicken and the fries. The flavor was superb and the wings were so crispy and they were cooked to perfection. The boudin stuffed wings were to die for. The fries were extremely flavorful and very crispy as well. Overall, we will be back here and if you’re near the area I recommend you stop by!

When we arrived it was very busy so we had to wait 30 minutes. Our server was really nice. I ordered swamp wings and cabbage which were very good and tasty. My husband ordered chicken and waffles. Unfortunately his chicken was very undercooked and could not be eaten. So he had a very different experience than I did. However I would say I would definitely give them a second chance and try them out again. They were busy and the cook may have been rushing orders to serve everyone since they were very busy.

Absolutely delicious! The menu is one that makes you want to try everything at least once. We decided to try the boudin stuffed wings, red beans and rice, green beans, fried pickles, fried crab and the Hurricane frozen cocktail. Everything was delicious and perfectly seasoned! The owner is delightful and will make sure that your experience is great!

Had a pre birthday dinner with some friends, and the atmosphere was great. The music we were all feeling. The happy hour drinks definitely made us happy. They were reasonable and strong. The stuffed wings and red beans and rice were so delicious, and I can't wait to go back.

I saw this new place driving down Hwy 6 and decided to dine in since I love Cajun. I had the Bonnet Carre. It was quite filling because of the generous amount of dirty rice. I want to try the Stewed Shrimp Creole over grits next time. Food arrived fast and service was very attentive. I'm always happy to support new small businesses.

Saw this place on social media, so I wanted to check it out with my son (10). Upon arrival, there was no host. Once we were noticed by a young lady sweeping the floors, we were sat relatively quick after they dry wiped a table. We weren't seen again for 15-20 minutes. We had a lot of time and noticed the flow and atmosphere. The music was loud, but not enough to drown conversations. The area in the middle of the floor had a wet floor sign the entire time we were there. It was indeed slippery. It wouldn't be a big deal, except this was a high-traffic, narrow walking path to the restrooms due to the table arrangements. It seemed like an acceptable standard to use the sign rather than cleaning/drying the floor. We noticed that the chairs, tables, and black painted concrete floors had remnants of fried food. We also saw a group with 3 classless women walking in wearing lace tops with their cheeks hanging out. I figured it was also an acceptable standard with the management because nothing was said even as they started line dancing. Just as my son's patience started growing thin and we were about to walk out the bartender noticed. She was very nice and seemed concerned that no one had asked us for a drink. After she brought us soft drinks, my son noticed they were flat/watered down. He also had something floating his (pictured). To me, it appeared like a rubber band for braces. The bartender was nice about the situation, but asked if we were sure it was flat because they "pour sodas from cans". That was questionable because, canned soda can still be expired and it would seem more logical to just serve the cold cans. It tasted like an off-brand 2L bottle that had been opened earlier and poured for us in the evening. The other questionable response was telling us that what we saw in the drink was "sugar." I've never seen sugar that floated to the top of a glass. Besides the aforementioned, their food was decent. I can't say anything negative about anything I ate. Their menu seems built around mostly fried entrées and they do very well at that. We ordered the wings in 3 different variations. They are all fried well and had very tasty batter and seasoning. The BBQ and Buffalo sauces are served on the side instead of tossed. My son (10) said buffalo sauce tasted like Frank's red hot sauce. I didn't try it. The boudain stuffed wings were definately good, but not something I would recommend over other experiences around Houston.

Came for brunch time. We ordered the wings and beignets. Super flavorful and cooked to our crisp liking! Food was great and our waitress was really sweet and welcoming. Would return for lunch time maybe to try something different!

Definitely not what I paid for. I understand sometimes people call out of work. I understand that things could be hard and serving a big crowd. I was told the food was gonna be 20 minutes in about 45 minutes later I've never eaten grits before, but I'm pretty sure that ain't it. They were overly thick tasted nothing but butter not creamy at all. I had one strawberry couldn't have a handful of grapes. Bonet were pretty good. Countryside. Potatoes were left in the fryer too long. It would've been nice if they were crispy them. All you got was oil. Wings are pretty tasty. They actually were quite nice. When I sat down at my table. It had like a layer of film on top of the table. It was very slimy and oily, so was the floor throughout the restaurant. The restroom was actually clean, but didn't have any paper towels The customer service was actually pretty good. I think it could've been better if there were more people actually attending the customers. Thank God I brought my iPad.

The food tasted really good up until my pregnant friend found a sharp piece of metal left over from a Brillo pad in her food. After that, everybody who dined was apprehensive to continue eating. Everybody is entitled to have a bad day. I guess our waitress ( a short, chocolate skinned lady, using a lace front melt band as a headband) was having a bad day because her customer service was terrible. Upon entering the restaurant, she stood at the back and yelled where we needed to sit. She didn't even have the common decency to walk over to us and greet ass despite us being the first people in the restaurant. Moreover, when she came to take our order, she decided not to use a notepad although our party consisted of five people. I do understand that some people can do that and have an excellent memory. However, our drinks were forgotten and parts of our order were missing. As a result, we had to keep asking the waitress for the things that were missing, and she seemed to be very annoyed. Unfortunately, I will not dine at Swamp Chicken again.

My first time here, and the customers service was good. The waitress was attentive especially since she was taking orders by herself. The fried fish was swai fish. So if you like that, then you may love this place. I for one love me some fried catfish. This is was okay. It wasn't mind blowing. The dirty rice was served cold. The crawfish étouffée on top of it did nothing to add better flavor and was lack luster. I tried their stuffed wings with boudin, it had a bitter aftertaste. Stuffed wouldn't be the word I would use more like content wings. There was not a lot of anything in it. 2/5. Pink lemonade was from the powder. It tasted nasty at first so when we told the waitress, she said she didn't add enough so she was going to fix it. The shrimps were delicious the best thing probably. 4/5.

This is a nice size restaurant with a New Orleans twist. I got a daquri, stuffed wings, regular wings and fries. The service is top notch and friendly. I loved the stuffed wings and the fries. The rice meat mix inside was too good. My son and I loved the fries. The only thing that could have been better was maybe less breading on the wings. I ordered more wings for my son thinking the 5 wings wouldn't be enough but they were huge so we had a lot to take home.

I had seen this restaurant pop up on my social media pages and was skeptical to try it, because I had been disappointed before by social media influencers hyping up restaurants where the food was not good. But I gave it a go. When I walked in the door it was cozy, quaint and laidback with music playing. We were greeted and seated immediately. I do wish I could remember my servers name because she was patient with us in placing our order. The pictures are of what I ordered. The food was delicious and flavorful. I do wish that my drinks came a bit colder or chilled. I would recommend and try again.

"All sales final" this is what I was told when complained about a tasteless unacceptable dish called swamp pasta at swamp chicken restaurant not only did management refuse to take it off the bill He refuse to come from the back to face me he did all this through the server which she was nice not that knowledgeable but nice. This unedible dish cost $20.00 it was ziti pasta with shrimp chicken and sausage (how could they mess that up), put cheese whiz on it I kid you not cheese whiz‼.I kept my cool paid and left yes I even left the tip but beware don't make the mistake I did You will be sorry

My friend had been talking about how good this place was, so we decided to go here together last Friday for dinner. It wasn't packed, but it's also probably because it was an hour & a half before closing, so the service was decent. We were sat at the bar, which was pretty loud with the music. We both then ordered the swamp chicken with fries, but then were told that they were out of fries, which was completely fine! So they allowed us to choose a different side for it. I got the crawfish étouffée and she got just regular rice. I very much enjoyed the chicken, which was delicious, well seasoned, and very crispy. The étouffée though felt like it was missing something, but it was still decent. Overall, I do recommend trying this place out!

What I can say is that the inside of the restaurant is a well looking place but nothing too fancy! Instagram had me thinking something different. First off, I came with my family and they only had ONE high chair. If your going to cater to all, at least have enough high chairs for ALL customers. For the size of this establishment they should have at least four. I had to hold my baby while we waited/ate. It took a while to order our food and when we ordered our food , it took about 45 minutes to even come out . The waiter didn't check up on us until we started speaking up. We ended up getting our food but mine was the only thing hot , my husbands food was cold , and my daughters food wasn't even all that good and they got the same thing. We also had the stuffed wings which weren't even all that stuffed only your first two bites you could tell it was stuffed with some boudin. I'm still tripping on as soon as my husbands food came out he automatically said it was cold but we waited so long. he initially wanted the fried grits but they said they was out . Sadly I was excited to come to this restaurant but the service I had was not all that good, and the most sad thing about it is that IM STILL HUNGRY !! I was irritated about the wait so unfortunately I don't have any pictures. *I did express my concerns and the manager did give us a discount on our meal, which is respectable. I like to support minority businesses when I can, and I do hope this restaurant will improve on their wait time and overall product. I wish the best of luck to them.*

Kept seeing this place on my timeline and finally decided to give it a try. The restaurant is on the smaller side but our party of 7 was seated immediately upon arrival. The service was great as our waitress was very attentive. I really wanted to try the chicken fried chicken but was told they only do the mashed potatoes on Wednesday and Thursday's. We ordered the shrimp boat, stuffed wings, fried crab and fried fish. All the food was fresh and hot when served. I wasn't a fan of the batter they use on the seafood but that was just my personal preference. One downfall is that the music is extremely loud, but it was a Friday evening and they were having a karaoke event.

Great place to eat, friendly and kind staff. The food is excellent i recommend this place any time you desire good food.

When I say this chicken was fried to a delicious crunchy perfection ...I'm not exaggerating at all! I'm telling you, taste, flavor, coating and crunch was perfection!!! Friendly and welcoming staff. Four stars, because the place was lacking in décor and ambience. Would have been 5 stars if it was a cozier place. This is my jam! My new spot! Definitely on my regular, regular rotation!!! Yum, yum, yummy!

The instagram page: prettygirlseathouston popped up and talked about swamp chicken so we decided to visit to celebrate my husband's birthday. The Ambiance: We dined in this past Friday. It a friday so of course they were busy. We were running a little late so our friends got the table for us. We were told they had to wait a bit for the table to be cleaned and after that it was still dirty so that's a down side (not the wait as that's expected but the table being dirty after it was cleaned). But by the time we sat down it was handled. Also while ordering our drinks I noticed I was given a sticky glass. I didn't like that as all customers should receive clean utensils and so forth but I asked for another and the waitress was nice and immediately got a new one. Actually everyone on the staff seemed very nice and checked in with the customers (customer service is a 10/10) Our Order: Zydeco Pasta w/ side of étouffée - The pasta resembled everything that is shown online. The flavor with the sauce was perfect and the pasta to sauce ratio was just right. My only complaint is the chicken was slightly overcooked but that is something that could be easily fixed. The étouffée reminds me of back home (this is very hard to find in Houston so I definitely applaud them for this). 6wings combo w/ side of red beans and rice - My husband felt the wings did not have the flavor that the appearance presented on the images. He also felt it was heavy spice coated on the outside but not enough flavor to be within. He likes that you can tell the fries were hand made and the red bean and rice is top tier. Our whole table would rate the red beans and rice a 9/10. The beans were soft but not mushy, the spice levels were perfect and it was not overly salty. This is something anyone could enjoy. Stuffed wings - They were super salty so it can easily give a headache. The boudin in the inside though, reminds me of back home. The stuffed wings left us feeling a little mixed while culturally the food does resemble the Louisiana culture and cuisine. The spices given can make it difficult to enjoy. Drink: Swamp juice (non alcohol) - You will only need one. There are two options (You can choose alcohol or non alcohol). The Color of the juice definitely reminds you of a swamp and the drink is sooo good. It can be super sweet like many of us like it; but do not over do it. You literally only need one. Service: The wait time for some things were a little long so the appetite did change a bit by the time some food was received; but everyone's attitudes and helpfulness definitely makes up for it as this is something that is hard to come by now. Payment: Payment is quick and easy. There's no automatic gratuity and it's not based on the whole table. Overall if we're on this side of town again, we'd stop by for a few thing

newly opened around the Missouri city area! Finally came in to try them. We went on a Friday night, it was pretty busy and they had live zydeco band (it was great but it was so loud, you have to yell for anyone to hear you) We ordered to go which we waited for a while and when we got home, we were missing some food that we ordered so we drove back up there. They did give us what was missing, no hassle. Just make sure to check your to-go order before leaving. Food was good, the chicken wings (stuffed and swamped) were seasoned well, the fries not so much and the pasta was a nice size portion. The brunch menu looks good, we might have to come back and try that!

Love love love the vibes in this place. We read the reviews before coming but still wanted to give this place a chance. Our experience was great! We got the mac and cheese and the boudin balls and they were nothing short of fresh, appealing, and flavorful. Sometimes reviews can be misleading ya'll. This place is a good eat!

Understaffed and underwhelming. I waited patiently about 20 minutes for my order to be taken understanding that they were quite busy, however I was never serviced. I then decided to order online figuring that would get the kitchen started on my order without having to wait any longer for the servers. Another 20 mins passed but when it was time to pick up my food, the kitchen apparently didn't see my ticket. I waited another 15 minutes before my food was finally ready, only to be served lukewarm food with lackluster flavor. It's likely your grandmother makes better fried shrimp and fish at home (I ordered the small Cast Net Combo). The staff was friendly as earnest, but clearly overwhelmed (not the staff's fault, this is a management issue). The cooks worked at a slow pace indicating they don't have much experience in fast paced food service environments. Perhaps today was an unusually bad day for them, but unfortunately it's resulted in my visit today being the first and last. Ultimately I wish the best to this business and hope to see them improve.

Food was ok and our server was pleasant. Did not care for the powdered iced tea. Not a bad spot. Just not for me.

Food was good, service was a bit slower than expected. It wasn't slow to the point of complaining but it was slower than I am used to based on places I frequent.

This place has some pretty good food. I came in out of town. Never heard of this place have it a try. The stuff chicken wings were so good. Hot crunchy very delicious. I also ordered the alligator taco. It was so much food I didn't finish it. I would definitely recommend this place.

Pretty good. The portions aren't that big but it was worth the try . I will come back if I'm in the area

It was mid to be honest. Everything was lacking flavor. I was with other people and all of our meals were not good. The interior is also kinda weird... why y'all got fold up chairs and tables. Makes it look tacky.

Second time coming, first time was great. But second time we walked out after 20 mins of no service. The waiter walked by us about 5 times and didn't even acknowledge us. I even went up to the counter and told them we were ready to order, but still didn't get service. Do I feel like it had something to do with my race? Yes. Because everyone else got service and had waiters checking up on them frequently; while they walked by us. TERRIBLE for business because we really enjoyed their food the first time but we will not be back.

Zydeco Pasta was awful today, I've had it a few times and it's always been pretty good but today it was horrible there was no sauce it was burnt and over cooked meats and no flavor just a heavy hand of parsley thrown on top for presentation. Not to mention the customer service I received to place my order was even worse the young woman had a terrible attitude taking my order and when I asked for a manager available I was told there was not one on site.

Order my food over the phone and was told it would be ready in 20 mins . Had to sit and wait for another 30 mins once I arrived. So it was more like 50 minute wait for it. I was offered a soft drink. I ended up running into my friends there who were dining in and was informed they waited over an hour for their food . The restaurant was packed with customers. Music selection was great ! Staff were friendly! The wings were big. Food was okay! Shell/skin was stuck on the shrimp hard to peel but the flavor was delicious. I don't see myself going back anytime soon.

Put a stamp on it... CERTIFIED!!! The chicken was cooked perfectly (light crispy skin with tender juicy meat) and the chef put his foot in the seasoning . My entire family went for Sunday brunch and left stuffed with smiles on our face. Don't sleep on this place y'all. It'll be your loss. Will definitely be back. They've also got a nice little bar area with a few flatscreens. I can definitely see myself posted up with a basket of boudin stuffed wings. NOTE: On Sundays it gets busy so pack your patience. The food is well worth the wait though!

Great customer service and the food tastes great! We love a local BOB doing beautiful things.

Best fish fry in Missouri City! Saw this place talked about on our neighborhood Facebook group. Husband took me to lunch today and it was wonderful. We split the Swamp Platter $30 and the fish, shrimp, oysters and crab was cooked to perfection. The daiquiris are amazing. Stop by, friendly staff, great food. Support local. The tarter sauce is amazing! #tartersauce

Fantastic fried chicken!!! Friendly service. Fun atmosphere. Did I say fantastic chicken already?

Very tasty, and very good chicken here. Most unique in area. Love the sweetness of the food here. Only complaint is I felt my artery clogging due to the amount of sugar in the food, but it was tasty enough to be worth it.

Love this place, welcomed immediately when you arrive by "family". The food is amazingly fresh, hot and delicious!!! We' ll be back again

The food was good. Service was great. Ambiance was ok. They were out of the oysters and special of day wasn't ready yet.

This isn't a large establishment, but the service was good for freshly prepared food. We had the Stuffed Wings previously, which were tasty. On our Sunday visit, we ordered the Fried Grits and the Peach Glazed Chicken and Waffles . Hubby says the Grits were fantastic. It was a lot, so he finished at home. The Chicken was tasty and the Waffles were crunchy with a little sweetness. I couldn't eat it all. I definitely recommend this restaurant.

Swamp Chicken was great. We went on a Saturday for Brunch. There was a little wait but nothing excessive. We had shrimp and grits and Peach chicken and waffles. Everything was tasty! The waffles are a little sweet, so if that is not your thing, you may want to ask them to skip adding powder sugar on it. Great portion sizes. The ambiance was nice as well, good music. I think they had live music before got there, which was around 1:30 pm. Sitting is limited, about 12 tables and bar sitting. Damara was our server and she was hospitable and amazing personality!!!

I've wanted to try this place for months and finally did today. They were serving brunch and my food came out cold only to have it microwaved. A little disappointing but hopefully it's something they'll work on.

This was my 2nd time trying the food, but my 1st time visiting. The staff was very welcoming and the service great!! We went closer to closing, but I could imagine the vibe of the place is real nice. I've had their brunch before and the fried grits was really good just fyi. Everything we ordered was delicious especially the fried fish and shrimp. I'm not much of a chicken eater but the boudin stuffed wings just left me wanting some boudin lol overall the wings were good. We order two regular wings but sadly the cashier didn't add it so I didn't get to taste them. The only thing I didn't like were the fried ribs, they tasted old or something. I love ribs... this was my 1st time trying them fried and it just wasn't what I was expecting. We will be going back and maybe next time I can try the swamp wings and a drink from the bar.

Nice spot with a full bar! The staff were friendly & helpful. I ordered 6 stuffed wings with boudin, fries, and a side of fish to go. The fish was ok, it was kind of soft and I like my fried hard. The fries were crispy though & the wings were pretty good! I'd go back again. I'd probably dine in though. They also do brunch on Saturday & I heard they have live music!

First time here and a of our food and service was excellent. We went Friday evening and they had a live Zydeco band. They were really good. The only reason for 4 stars is because the band was so loud you couldn't hear yourself think and you had to raise your voice loud to order. Other than that we will be back for sure.

Dined on the brunch menu, shrimp and grits was excellent as was the chicken and waffles. Service was prompt and friendly, will definitely be back!

So excited to have a new place literally right around the corner. Swamp Chicken did not disappoint, came in on a Friday night and food was great, servers were super nice and drinks on point. Had the "swamp wings and snake fries"and they were really good. Tonight they had live zydeco music and they are fantastic. Let's support a local business in our community cause they are worth it!

My Creole husband's review "chicken was better than Popeye's"! Came on a Sunday around 1:15, managed to grab the last big table. Ordered the peach glazed chicken and waffles. Didn't even get a pic because I devoured the wings (and my husband's too). They were so incredibly CRISPY, so well seasoned, and perfect amount of meat. Honestly, satisfied my fried chicken craving so hard. Waffles tasted like the Belgian waffles from CostCo but good nonetheless. Our server was sweet and came by often to make sure we were ok, even though it was busy. With how good the food is I can imagine them outgrowing the space quickly. We will DEFINITELY be back to try out lunch/dinner.

The IG states "Brunch all day on Saturday and Sunday", but that is not the case. It took a long time for my family to be greeted by a waitress, even though the restaurant was not busy. The waitress finally took our drink orders, but skipped my 4 year old son. The waitress was not knowledgeable about the menu. They forgot to bring out my 4 year old son's food when the food came out, so we were eating in front of him until his food finally came. The music was too loud and kept playing the same songs. They gave us plastic eating forks, and condiment Packets, which lets me know that this place is a take-out type of restaurant, not a place to take your family for an occasion. The waitress rushed us to pay the bill, after messing up our order by forgetting my son's food. No manager ever came out to ask us about our experience or to apologize for them forgetting my son's order. All that said the food was OK. The stuffed wings were undercooked, but the waffles and the Mac and cheese were great. This place is somewhere you go grab something from on a lunch break on a Tuesday. Not somewhere you go to sit down and eat on a weekend with family or friends, unless you don't care about ambiance and service. Service 1/10. Food 6/10.

I can't express in words how delicious the food is here! We tried it for the first time a few weeks ago. Our table ordered "The Truth" sandwich, which was HUGE and juicy! We ordered the Snake Fries (crawfish etoufee on top of crispy French fries), Boudin Balls, and Fish Tacos. Our server was so friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. I forget his name but he goes by "G". All the other personnel were friendly & welcoming. It felt like a family owned & run restaurant. We will definitely be back! I wish I would have taken pictures!

Great wings, that are served hot and crispy. Everyone is friendly and helpful with the service.

Overall my experience here was a 4/10 our waitress was very helpful in telling us what to order and keeping up with our table. We ordered a few things and pretty much everything was pretty much very salty. The boudin balls and the fish basket were the 2 items that tasted pretty good. The crawfish Mac and cheese wasn't Mac and cheese at all was more like a pasta. It wasn't cheesy at all and It was very runny.

Ehh slow service. Food was not ready when I ordered ahead. Had to wait an extra 30 mins from the ready by time. Fried crabs were tiny for 18.99 shrimp taco was good, but had to take the tails off the shrimp. Fries are fries, hot and seasoned. Red beans are a little sweet. The regular fried chicken is better then the stuffed wings.

Had to update with a picture on my second visit. Photos just don't do it justice, Tha Truth Sandwich is the bomb!

I enjoyed the experience. The food took a while to come out but it was definitely worth the wait for a Friday night. Best chicken wings I've had hands down. I sipped on a cocktail at the bar and watched some tv while waiting. The ambiance was family style with colorful aesthetics.

I ordered my food at 8:07pm. 4 stuffed wings and fries. It's 8:42 and my food still isn't ready. Slowest business ever!!

Food is delicious! Chicken is always seasoned well. I also recommend trying the fried pickles! So good!

Sunday brunch was elite. Our party tried just about everything on the brunch menu. It was all so good. The swamp chicken is really well flavored. One member of our party mentioned, "that there isn't much reason to go into Houston for (a famous chicken and waffle spot) with swamp chicken around the corner." It was that good. We later tried their stuffed wings and they were really good as well. If there was one negative (there really wasn't), it would have been that they didn't serve the entire menu until after 3 on Sundays. We will definitely be back.
