My friends and I came here for the CFB National Championship this past Monday and had a blast! The…read moreSwamp is probably the best place to go to watch any sporting event. The atmosphere is just the best and I always have a good time! Seating is first come, first serve or seat yourself situation. So if there is a big game, you should get there a couple hours early to ensure you get a seat. Otherwise you will be wondering the restaurant trying to pounce on an open seat the second you see one. We actually arrived 2.5 hours before the game even started and almost all the seats were taken already. While this can be a little chaotic, it really adds to the experience of eating here on a game day! It was absolutely PACKED for the national championship, people were even bringing chairs from home to sit outside. We ended up sitting at a small outdoor bar. Our bartender or server, Maddie, was excellent. She made sure we were satisfied the whole time and did a great job checking in on us. She was also super friendly and great to talk to! Considering how busy it was, the food didn't take too long to come out. When it is super busy, you can order food at the bar (inside or outside one) and don't need to have a table to receive service. The staff did a great job keeping up with everything and making sure things were running as efficiently as possible. For the food, the five of us started with an order of mozzarella sticks and their famous buffalo chicken dip. The mozzarella sticks are a new menu item and feature golden-fried mozzarella sticks, crunchy on the outside and gooey on the inside, served with ranch marinara. These were really, really good, with a nice cheese pull and the perfect amount of breading. I was quite surprised with how tasty these were! The Buffalo chicken dip consists of pulled chicken mixed with buffalo wing sauce, melted cheddar, pepper jack, and cream cheese, finished with ranch and an extra kick of hot sauce, served with tortilla chips, celery, and carrots. This was AMAZING and a perfect starter for the table to share. Served in a cast iron skillet, the portion is huge and the dip is super flavorful and creamy. There weren't enough chips served with the dip for all of us, but our server was happy to give us a complimentary tray of chips. I can easily see why this is a favorite and I will definitely be ordering this next time I come here! I also got a side Caesar salad and thought that was great as well. It was a nice portion, with fresh romaine, shredded Parmesan cheese, croutons, and capers. We ordered our entrees around kickoff, I ended up getting the Founder's Club Sandwich. The Founder's Club included a grilled chicken breast topped crispy bacon, lettuce, tomato, provolone cheese, served on toasted sourdough bread, with a side of swamp sauce. All the entrees come with fries, unless you want to upgrade to another side or request not to have them. I really enjoyed this sandwich. The chicken had a nice char to it and was surprisingly juicy. I appreciated the sourdough bread over a regular bun as well. The subtleness of the provolone cheese and the fresh tomato were great too! Overall, we had an awesome time watching the CFB national championship at The Swamp. The atmosphere and vibes are unmatched. Service was awesome and the workers there are so on top of things. Food hit the spot and the Buffalo chicken dip was our favorite. Can't wait to come back!!

The Swamp was easy to get to, had plenty of options on the menu, and friendly wait-staff. The food was okay - nothing special but everyone was satisfied. We ordered a shrimp po-boy, pulled pork sandwich, and chicken tenders all with side of fries. The pork sandwich came with slaw under it, which was tasty but made the bread fall apart. The best part about the swamp is the ambiance if you are a Gators fan. The decor is full on UF and customers seem to all be fans. Service was excellent. Our waitress checked in several times and made sure we were happy.

The beer is cold, the pool is fun and its the type of place you just can enjoy a drink with your buds and have fun! This place has become a favorite for locals and visitors!

I highly recommend this place!

So, I had been waiting all day to watch the Montreal v. Buffalo playoff match…read more Montreal was up 2-1 in the series, and they usually don't get this far in the playoffs! So I was keyed up! I got my Publix hot and spicy wings and my Carolina bbq sauce, and all I needed was a beer and a screen. (Did you know you can bring your own food into Silver Q? You can get take-out, bring your own, or order delivery...yup) Anyway, there was a billards tournament going on, so when I asked the bartender to put it on the game, SHE PUT IT ON THE BIG SCREEN!! Wow!! Unfortunately, after watching the match and enjoying my spicy chicken and Yuenglings for THREE HOURS, my bartender took a break, and another bartender changed the channel, with 4 MINUTES LEFT IN THE GAME! It took the wind out of my sails! I walked up and told her, and asked her to change it back, but she got busy making drinks for other people, and so I just closed out my tab and left. Maybe next time, I'll go to a dedicated sports bar, and only come here, when I want to play pool...yeah, that's the ticket!

I recently had dinner at Miller's and overall, it was a positive experience. The osso-buco was the…read morestandout dish for me - it was excellent and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The mashed potatoes on the side were also a highlight, and the gravy complemented them perfectly. We opted to sit inside due to the chill in the air, and while I'm not a huge fan of high tables, it wasn't a big deal. The noise level was reasonable during our visit, but I can imagine it might get louder on days when there are big sporting events on. Our server was friendly and efficient, and we didn't have any issues with the service. All in all, I'd say Miller's is a solid choice for a meal, and I'd be happy to go back.

Look, this meal was a total identity crisis. The Boom Boom…read moreShrimp tasted like it was fried in 10W-30 motor oil--stale, heavy, and disrespectful to the ocean. I didn't know seafood could taste like a garage floor, but here we are. But then the wings showed up and suddenly the kitchen has a PhD in flavor? Elite crunch, actually seasoned, total 180. The drinks were hitting heavy and the server, Dave, was a straight-up legend who saved the night from being a total disaster. Bottom line: Come for the drinks, stay for the wings, but if you order that shrimp, you're basically signing up for a specialized form of torture. Fix the oil and this place is a silver mine, yes not gold, silver. Until then? Order carefully.

I'd read the reviews and they were supposed to have the coldest beer in Florida and the best burgers. What's not to like about that? When we walked in, it was as advertised, a nice little biker bar with pool tables and they do in fact have very good burgers and cold beer. We had great service, great food, great prices, and actually stayed there much longer than we planned. If we ever have to come back through this way and stay, I will definitely go back there for another great Cajun burger, and a couple of cold beers..

They also had a bucket of 5 beers for $15 with five beers to choose from. I ordered the double burger with onion rings. I forgot to take a picture but the double will not fit in your mouth! It was a decent burger and much bigger than I expected. My friend got the club sandwich and it looked impressive as well. We ended up shooting pool and chatting with some of the regulars and left in the wee hours of the morning. Melanie was hustling all night as the bartender and the cook. She was on top of it all night. We were in town to scuba dive and are on to our next destination, otherwise we would have returned. Great little dive bar. Friendly staff and locals. Decent bar food.

My past experiences here have always been good and the servers are attentive and willing to make your time there a fun time. On game days the menu is downsized to make it easier on the kitchen but what is offered is flavorful and presented in a nice fashion. So, for myself this is a spot I go to before many of the home games as it is easier than setting up a tailgate and then tearing it down. Now, I just park my car & walk to Cantina Anejo with my wife and relax and have a good time with my fellow Gator fans!
