Swamp Catering
After closing its doors earlier this year, we are excited to announce that The Swamp Restaurant is coming back to Gainesville! We can't wait to #SYAS in 2022 for Marg Mondays, gameday tailgates, and lunch between classes. After twenty-five years, a temporary closure, and a spirited campaign by the Gator Nation, The Swamp is returning in 2022 - all thanks to our loyal patrons.

For over twenty-five years, The Swamp Restaurant has served as a staple restaurant, bar and event venue in the Gainesville community, acting as a gathering place for University of Florida students, alumni and Gainesville citizens alike.

A lot of good memories here. I will miss this original location and building. I will also never understand why things had to change. To me it is the staple restaurant of the University of Florida and Gainesville. Go Gators!

Decent restaurant. A bit overrated. Can get crowded after 7 pm on Fridays and weekends. Extremely popular during a Gators game. It is a good place to hang out if you are a Gators fan!

Such a nice eatery literally across the street from FSU's chemistry building. The food was delicious though on a gorgeous day where everyone is sitting outside it's easy to go in the wrong door and miss the hostess

Went there for lunch and even though there were only two other tables there, it still took forever to get our food. Also, the food came out cold. I ordered the swamp grits that were supposed to have shrimp and crab. The grits were cold and clumpy, the sauce was lukewarm, and there was no crab in the dish on the slight taste of it in the sauce. Not worth $13

Great bar if you're in Gainesville. Very big bar with inside and outside and upstairs areas to hang out. The staff works hard and makes good drinks. It's also very close to the stadium so you can walk back and forth. Also good bar food and lots of fun. Definitely going back next time I'm in Gainesville

We had their nachos and they weren't bad. They weren't my favorite but they were still good. I personally had a pretty good meal which I included in the pictures and the fries were absolutely delicious. Parking was a little confusing but that's to be expected in the area. I'm pretty satisfied with the experience my family had here. They only have Pepsi products though :(

Great Argentine steak sandwich and delicious Hawaiian Pork quesadilla! We had a great time eating on the patio watching the college kids go by on their mopeds.

I had a great time. The salad I had was spectacular! The waitress was very attentive without being intrusive. The special event was handled very well. The guests were treated very well. The attendees had plenty of visibility and could hear very well also. Well done, Swamp staff!

We stopped in for lunch on a Monday, the place was kinda empty so the service 👍 and the food was also really good too.
