The Swamp Restaurant is a beloved Gainesville institution that has been serving the community for over 25 years. With its iconic white picket fence, beautiful front lawn, and historic house charm, The Swamp has become a staple restaurant, bar, and event venue, hosting a variety of events and activities, including gameday tailgates, afternoons spent on the front lawn, and National Championship watch parties. After a temporary closure and a dedicated effort by the Gator Nation, The Swamp has reopened in a new location just 4 minutes away from its original building, featuring the same spirit and charm as the original.
The majority of reviewers praised New Swamp for its friendly staff, great food, and excellent atmosphere.
Some reviewers mentioned minor issues, such as difficulty finding parking, a lack of signs indicating where to go for service, and mediocre service depending on the waitress.
