This was down home cooking to a tee!! The chicken fried steak and steak fingers were some of the best I've eaten! And believe I've tried plenty!! Cream gravy, fried okra, mashed potatoes just as good!! Service was great even though it had a full crowd!! I'm already debating if I make a two trek just to eat here again!! I think it would be well worth it!! read more

Visiting friends in Wolfford, nearby and we dined at Swackkhammers. I didn't know what to expect, and I was pleasantly impressed. The ambience is definitely family friendly. Small Booths for two - large tables for 14. It's a roomy dinning area and great for groups. Food - The variety is an amazing collection of comfort foods at an amazing value. I love their choice for large or small appetites and priced accordingly. Taste - The taste was amazing, for the catfish, Malibu chicken and Burger patties. I love that one of the sides can be the salad bar. As a family owned restaurant it is one of the best I've dinned in This area. Can't wait to come back. Michael C. , Georgetown, Tx. read more

This is probably the most happening joint in Levelland, which is the next most happening city west of Lubbock. It's been rebuilt and reopened after a fire that happened a year or two ago. Interior decor is simple and sparse featuring animal mounts, antler chandeliers, and a central stone fireplace. The log beam ceiling solidifies the hunter's Lodge look, but the table layout and ambiance aren't what I'd call cozy. The menu has a wide array of offerings that feature anything you need to make a well-rounded meal. Steak, chicken, trout, salmon, veggies, salad. Not everything is breaded and fried, but that is certainly an option. In general, though, I find most of their food to be bland. It's going to sound harsh, but the trout is probably the worst I've ever had. It tasted more fishy than I'm used to. And twice now I've ordered the waffle sweet potato fries with great anticipation only to end up disappointed. They are too thin and chewy; bland like everything else. Then there's the all you can eat salad bar. It's small and simple and you can get it as one of your side items. But on my last visit the greens were just a chopped mess of wilted sadness. I have seen it in better shape. We always show up with a group of 10 or more people. It seems like big groups is a common thing here, too. As such, they are always equipped to handle it with plenty of tables to easily push together. Service has always been friendly; they do a great job handling the crowds. At least they're not overpriced. The locals are keeping them well enough in business. read more

See all

Really clean and spacious interior and clean parking lot, the service was fast and polite, and the steak fingers and catfish myself and my fiance tried were delicious. I would recommend if you're in the area, they are fairly priced. read more

One of the best ribeyes I have had in a long time. Perfectly cooked. The flavor was amazing. The pea salad on the salad bar was the bomb! Definitely coming back. read more

Before the remodel this place was in need of a Robert Irvine intervention. Afterward, I had my hopes up thinking they were going to revamp the place and the menu, but it looks like neither happened. The lettuce on the salad bar was starting to turn brown and wilt and the macaroni salad was heavy on the mayo. The catfish was barely done and the fries weren't even brown and needed cooking longer. The tarter sauce was mostly mayo. The iced tea and the waitress were nice though. If they don't freshen up the menu, cook the food more thoroughly and liven up the place, it's going to close again, except this time, it might be for good. Come on, people - we can do better than this! read more

We split a steak and it was good for the price. We also ordered mashed potatoes, sautéed mixed veggies and fried okra which tasted good though not remarkable. According to the sign posted above the front desk, the restaurant is owned by peoples who are devoted to god which I guess is the reason that they are closed on Sundays and don't serve alcohol, which is a shame because a glass of Malbec would have paired well with our meal. The venue appears to be clean and almost new. The service was friendly and the turn around time was acceptable for any sit down restaurant. The only thing that keeps me from giving it a 5 star is that the atmosphere was a little sterile. Dimming the lights would gone a long way to improving the ambiance. I read some of the other reviews and wondered why some of them seemed almost hateful. We went ahead and ate there anyway because we were staying close by and were told that it was a good place to dine unless we wanted fast food. The dining options are limited in Levelland and I think we made the best choice considering what we wanted that night. read more

I really had high hopes. Very disappointing. My husband's medium-rare steak was well done. The grilled veggies were soooo salty they were unbearable! I can't say how my corn on the cob was because it didn't actually get served to me. The rolls are straight out of a package. Mac & cheese is out of a box. My shrimp was sketchy as there were a couple I avoided due to gray spots. The only good things were the tea and our waitress! read more

Once again, I'm glad we stopped here for supper. Got here just an hour before they closed. Again, it's was clean, the staff was friendly and helpful (one offered to push the booth seat closer to the table and a iced tea Togo). The ribeyes were pretty big for a small ribeye. It was perfectly grilled, medium rare. The baked potato was hot, cooked completely through and came with plenty of butter, sour cream, cheese and fresh bacon. The salad was fresh, the thousand Island dressing was flavorful. We were offered beard but declined. I don't know where the negative reviews came from, but I will be back again. read more

Very underrated got the cheesy tots very good they give you a ton of tot topped with cheese bacon and tomato's read more

Swackhammer's - a plate of food on a table - Steakhouses Near Me - Levelland, Texas

If you don't feel compelled to read this entire review, just know your better off going to the gas station and getting a slurpee and bag of chips. I've never been compelled to leave a review for a restaurant. However, after explaining the train wreck of a meal we just received to the manager, who turned out to be the owner, I was an absolute awe. The callousness of her response we ordered chicken cordon blue only to receive A chicken patty with deli ham and a slice of cheese on top. We kindly asked her with her if we could change it as, we are expecting something else she graciously did. The original plate had fries which they left on the plate while they cook the barbecue chicken. By the time they brought it back, our fries were cold both, our chicken patties were very dry, the bread was stale, the chips and salsa we ordered for $4.99 was canned tomatoes. When the owner came to our table, I said I wasn't attacking anyone I just wanted to let her know the situation. The first thing out of her mouth was, "well your fries are half eaten, so you seem OK with it. " we hadn't touched a single fry, that's the amount they brought us. She continued to be very defiant that anything was wrong. She also said that's the way they do their chicken cordon bleu, then don't call it chicken cordon bleu. When I order a ribeye, I don't expect a Salsberry steak only to be told that's how they do their ribeye. Sheshe then callously asked me, "what do you want, a free meal then?" I told her I'm happy to pay, however we will not be coming back, to which she replied "OK" and walked away read more

Swackhammer's - "Chicken cordon bleu" - Steakhouses Near Me - Levelland, Texas

The best steak house in Levelland, cause its the only steak house in Levelland. Food is good, service is friendly, and restaurant is fairly clean. Probably because they clean the tables with Windex (yes, the glass cleaner) If you want a steak, and don't wanna drive to Lubbock, then this is your only choice. read more

Swackhammer's - Apple crisp - Steakhouses Near Me - Levelland, Texas

Will Al ways come here over n over again I used to work for them but my disability wouldn't let me work there no longer but Al ways love the staff n the food the owner is amazing! read more

We tried this place for the 1st time today and we will never go back. All the food was bland and flavorless. I ordered a loaded baked potato and it came with nothing on it not even butter. It took them over 30 minutes to bring us our plates even though people who ordered after us we're already getting their food. The macaroni and cheese is literally just kraft. The waitress brought our check literally 2 seconds after we got our plates. I ordered apple crisp and I got warmed up apple pie filling with a bowl oatmeal dumped on top. There was nothing crisp about the apple crisp. I paid steakhouse money for McDonald's quality food. It sucked. Don't go here; it's terrible. read more

I thought there was no possible way that anyone could ruin a steak especially a ribeye steak. I WAS WRONG! Beware of this monet of a restaurant. It looks like a real Texas hidden gem from the outside with its wood exterior and texas barn look but boy was I wrong. I ordered a sirloin steak and was told that they were all out of sirloin steaks, that they only had the most expensive steak on the menu which was a ribeye. I said what the heck let's give it a try this place looks legit smells like grilled steak and fried food when you walk in, it has to be good right? Nope wrong again I should have know the steak was not going to be good when I ordered and the lady didn't asked how I wanted it cooked. I told her I wanted medium rare she looked at me like that was the first time anyone had done that. When the steak was brought out after waiting about 45 minutes. It was not an 8oz ribeye like she said actually it was almost as thin as paper and definitely was not a ribeye and the grilled veggies were bagged stir-fry veggies that had been microwaved. I still don't know what I was fed today and I don't know that I ever will, but I do know one thing it was not a ribeye . I can tell you one thing I will never go here again this is a horrible place don't make the same mistake I did and heed my warning. DON'T GO! read more

Swackhammer's - Noooooo!!! - Steakhouses Near Me - Levelland, Texas

Always great food, but for New Years we had prime rib. It was excellent and enough for 2 more meals!! Great food at a reasonable price.

Overheard manager make racist comments about Mexican people. Saw a steak fall on the floor and potentially cooked. Also ,my host, was extremely rude. I believe her name was Dolores. Never going back, not even to use the bathroom. read more

I am updating my previous review. I have returned here and they have really increased the quality of food and service. They are very accommodating and are kind. The salad bar is great and has all the fixin's you could ask for. They increased the menu size too, and the cooking has improved drastically for the better. They regularly add new items to the menu. I had the chicken cordon bleu and it was very tasty. read more

The food was great, they checked on us every so often, and the server avery was very polite and she always kept up with what we needed

I have never written a review in my life...don't go here. I ordered Mac and cheese with my grilled shrimp, and it was that stuff from a blue box!!! It had no taste. The ranch dressing was the strangest dressing ever. read more

Not to bad, I haven't had any big problems with this place. Seems like a lot of other people are super picky rich snobs with the whole not enough seasoning! read more

It was decent. But just that, decent. The inside was pretty cool looking but that doesn't make the food taste any better. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone but I also wouldn't suggest anyone not go. The food was nothing special at all, just decent. The service was awesome. Quick, friendly and informative. read more

Swackhammer's - Interior. - Steakhouses Near Me - Levelland, Texas

Never had any problems for years,But the wait time to order takeout was longer than they said and they did not put in the extra gravy we ordered,Think i will go elsewhere for awhile till they get better reviews read more

Out of a can, and out of a frozen box and microwaved. Nasty. Great building, once inside it reeks of cheap frozen out of a box food. I'll just go to Walmart or United and get me a frozen dinner for half the price. read more

In from Ft. Worth for work, and Levelland happened to be my last stop for the night. The restaurant looks nice inside and out and is very clean. My server was very nice and fairly attentive. The salad bar was pretty good, but I would of loved to see real bacon bits! Not a deal breaker though. My reason for only three stars is my"grilled" vegetables look like they came out of a steamable bag and not warm throughout. Some were hot and some were cold. My steak was cooked a nice medium which I ordered, but it was a bit tasteless. I prefer not to use sauce on a good steak, but needed a couple to eat this one. The meat was fine and it was cooked great, but they should really think about seasoning or marinating their product. I've been to a couple places in this little town, and I don't think they have a lot to choose from. I would come back, but would not order this particular meal again. read more

Swackhammer's - Had to be from a bag... - Steakhouses Near Me - Levelland, Texas

Hopefully I save someone from deciding to try this restaurant and also save your tastebuds. The food was not appetizing at all we ordered a variety of things from steaks, to chicken fried steak and also chicken strips. The meat did not taste good and the steak was a poor excuse of a ribeye. I also ordered grilled veggies which you can tell was frozen bagged veggies. NOTHING had any real flavor. I left hungry and sad that the atmosphere had me thinking I was about to get some really good food. read more

Great ribeye. Healthy food and good quality. Always my first choice in Levelland. They have a salad bar option for dining in house. Family and relaxed atmosphere and they also have a kid s menu. read more

Prices are alright. Food was perfectly cooked, but absolutely flavorless. Steak was nicely seared, very tender, but completely unseasoned. Place was clean for the most part. Beans were simple, likely canned, heated, and served. read more

It's okay and the only steakhouse in town. That being said, the steaks could use some marinade, seasoning, something! Thankfully I order mine rare anyway so it doesn't loose all its flavor in the cooking process. But the servers are nice, the salad bar decent, and the building itself is clean and attractive. I go every so often, but it's not my main go to restaurant in town. read more

The only thing I can say is overpriced and food is out of a frozen tv dinner. Everything is prepackaged. Its either precooked then frozen and reheated when ordered or it is all out of boxes. My Wife ordered a new York strip and it was all gristle and fat. Make the drive to anywhere else read more

This place is awesome! It has home cooking and it is soooo good. I personally have tried fried catfish, which was crunchy and tender and the chicken strips are juicy and crunchy and delicious and the popcorn shrimp and steak. Also the sweet potato waffle fries, okra, corn nuggets, baked potatoes, mashed potatoes and gravy are all fantastic. Trust me you will love this nice, clean family place. You will go back over and over just like I do. And the workers are real nice too. read more

We have visited this establishment many times with mediocrity being the nicest thing I can say about Swackhammer's. Service was slow and very rude. The last time we were there (which was 01-06-18) we entered the restaurant at which time we observed a paying customer at the register trying to check out and the young lady at the register was gabbing on her cell phone and would not address the customer, as we stood there for about 5 minutes and she puts her phone down and looked at us and said "oh are y'all here to eat...well we are closed. The lady at the register is still standing there trying to check out!!!! This is beyond ridiculous read more

The restaurant was clean and the staff very nice, but the food was not good at all. Eleven of us at the table and not one of us had a descent meal. Will not go back. read more

We stayed in town for a graduation at Tech and decided to have lunch at this place. The exterior of the building is decent and the restaurant appeared clean. The appearance is about the only decent thing about this place. The food was below average and I would categorize it as cheap bar food. I usually am pretty forgiving with restaurants, but the food here was some of the worst I've had. read more

Great restaurant!! We were pleasantly surprised by this little gem. Reviews were not very good so we were skeptical but it was close to our hotel so we tried it.. Steaks were delicious and service was amazing!! read more

After a disastrous trip my first time I decided to give this restaurant a little bit of a second chance. Our waitress was fantastic at getting our party of five seated and drinks ordered. The menu offers good choices with a simple format. The disappointment came when the amazing looking steak was placed before me. With great anticipation I claimed my knife and fork and set to slicing morsel from the serving. Try as I might I could not cut loose desired bite. So I moved to a different place with same result. I looked up to find waitress and she vanished like a fart in a Texas tornado. Finally as the rest of my family was near finished with their meal I found a member of waitstaff and request a different menu item. Service was again prompt and my second entree was far superior. I do warm the consumer to be very picky here and suggest the chicken fried steak. read more

Okay, so I'm in town for work and this place is next door to my hotel. It has a nice feel to it and the waitress was nice. I ordered the chicken fried steak based on the recommendation of another yelp customer. I was kinda concerned because the waitress seemed a little stressed, that subsided once her large table left. She was trying to cover 10+ tables, so I see why she seemed stressed. The food came after about 10 minutes and it was pretty good. I noticed someone else ordered onion rings and they came as a pretty big portion covering a medium oval plate and stacked maybe 5 inches high. It was more than I could eat even if it was the only thing I planned on eating. The family of 4 shared them as an appetizer. I also ordered the steamed veggies and sweet potato patties. The patties are just that. They are skinless patties that are different. Not bad, just different. The steamed veggies were green beans and broccoli which were decent but not so much steamed as they were sautéed. I'll eat here again because the waitress was nice the food was decent and there isn't much to choose from in this town and the restaurant appeared to be clean. Come to think of it, eating someplace by default isn't really a winning formula but it beats driving half an hour to Lubbock for dinner. If I were midway between here and the Red Zone in Lubbock, I would go to the Red Zone 10 out of 10 times. read more

Very good food at competitive prices. The clientele are always pleasant and serve us well.

I am concerned about the idea they clean the tables with Window cleaner from Walmart which has NO disinfectant at all in it. I even went to the city inspector and complained about this but nothing has changed. Food is OK but I'd be surprised that no one has come down with something from this restaurant. read more

Came here a few times with my family. They enjoyed it but I have had better in Levelland. Servers are rude and don't care about their guests. Food is okay. I got chicken strips which I could get better at Dairy Queen than here. read more
