Visiting from out of town, so we decided to try something new. The service was great. Our server was very attentive. The crawfish were perfect. And the bread pudding had a claim to be the best in the area. I understand now why it got the title! The atmosphere was casual; come as you are. After looking around, I could tell there was some regulars by the way the servers treated them. Very much a hometown feel. It was a great experience. read more

I know they say everything is bigger in Texas, but Louisiana is no slouch. That bowl is called a cup here, and they said the ball is even bigger than this! Those Cajun rolls were supposed to be an appetizer portion! They are bigger than the average eggroll that I have in New Jersey. my only complaint is that the bisque was described as only having seafood in it, but it came with a ton of sausage in it and very little seafood. The server was very pleasant and brought me a refill of my tea without my even asking. As for the atmosphere, it's actually a little intimidating as there are huge rifles on the walls. I didn't see them from the room where I was sitting, but someone pointed them out to me on the way out! read more

On our trek back from Gulf Shores to Dallas the family starting getting the hunger pains. Wife pulled out the trusty Yelp app and began looking ahead for what lies in front of us on the beaten path. She came across this hole in the wall about 10 minutes off the highway. As we began approaching the joint we were worried as nothing insight seemed like a place we'd stop at. Sure enough this giant 10 foot crawfish peeps out of the corner and this little joint appeared next to it. Was excited as we pulled up to see the various sides they had pictured on the banner in the front. When we went inside we quickly ordered ito allow us to get back on the road asap. Family ordered crawfish, fried tasty shrimpies, gumbo and of course the lil dude ordered chicken fingers. Everyone thought it was fantastic and the crawfish was out before anything else. Only odd factor to call out were those tasty sides I saw earlier. They weren't actually on the menu. Red beans in rice is the most obvious I can remember. read more

Swamp Daddy's - 5 pounds of crawfish with a sausage - Seafood Markets Near Me - Alexandria, Louisiana

The food is bussing. I had the baked potato with firecracker fried shrimp and crawfish along with the sauce that goes on top of the potato. Only thing i could say is that the potato could've been a bit more seasoning with salt n pepper. Just tasted like they boiled a regular potato and just added the ingredients on top. Not bad but just a bit more seasoning. They don't sell liquor it's more of a family ambiance type of place. The water was disgusting it tastes like swamp water, your best bet is to get a pop or soda water. read more

Wow! This was amazing! If you are looking for an authentic spot for crawfish, Swamp Daddy's is the place to be. I've never have crawfish before and I was truly blown away. Our waitress was so nice and explained the menu and made great recommendations. The cup of gumbo I had was awesome. It was so flavorful with a hint of spice. So the actual crawfish boil was amazing. It had crawfish, sausage, crab legs, shrimp, corn on the cob and potatoes. Once I learned how to eat the crawfish, I was good to go. It was so good. Messy but delicious. And to top it off we ended with bread pudding. I must have. Do yourself a favor and check out Swamp Daddy's. read more

This place is a must-stop eatery! We ordered catfish, crawfish, Cajun chicken pasta, and a baked potato with shrimp and crawfish on it. Our whole group was in awe of how good it was. I highly suggest the potato with the toppings; I don't think I've ever had anything as tasty in my life! Our waitress was awesome. She was friendly and really funny. The prices were a bit high, but it was totally worth it. read more

This place has great crawfish but the shrimp literally taste like some shrimp you boiled at home in plain water. The crab legs are okay but the crawfish are mainly what you should go for. The potatoes and corn are a little bland most times as well. I purchased the "Lil Stopper" which had 1lb crawfish, 1 cluster of crab legs , and 10 shrimp and I literally received 15 crawfish. read more

Always my go to when I'm town crawfish or very good and of course the bread pudding is the best

Always an excellent experience at Swamp Daddy's. The best crawfish in the Alexandria area. Stay for the break pudding and you won't be disappointed. read more

NOW OPEN! This is one of our go-to places as soon at we arrive in Alexandria. The service is average, but the food is Fantastic! My wife really loves the bayou bisque, in her words, "It has levels of flavor." The catfish is fresh and crispy with just the right ratio of cornmeal to catfish. The crawfish are fresh and seasoned deliciously and the fried green tomatoes may be the best I've ever eaten. read more

Boiled crawfish are always perfect! Nice size, flavor, texture, and peel ability ! Only place to go in my opinion!

This place was awesome. As soon as you walk up you can smell the delicious seasonings. Our waitress was amazing. She added to the enjoyment of our experience. Everything from the fried green tomatoes and the swamp poppers to the boiled crawfish and swamp potato was fantastic. Everyone in my party was 100% satisfied with our selection. In a nutshell, great service, big delicious crawfish and great prices... how could you go wrong. Next time I'm in Alexandria, this will definitely be my to go spot. read more

Ok, wow! A local I was working with told me this was the place to go for crawfish and it didn't disappoint. I posted three pictures but trust me, they don't do the food justice. I had the three pounds of crawfish, complete with a bowl of shrimp (maybe 10?), a cob of corn and two potatoes. Most of the crawfish were very big and the boil spice was very prevalent and tasty. I found that I was still hungry so after polishing off the crawfish boil, I had a bowl of the bisque. It was so very rich and unlike most bisques, had pieces of potato, and crawfish. It was so rich but just a tad bit salty. Not off-putting, though. I finished up with their bread pudding. Fantastic! It was sweet, dense, and hot. It had caramel sauce drizzled on top and had two scoops of ice-cream that was a perfect pairing. My one, almost-complaint, is their beer offering. Very basic, but my fantastic waitress, Sheena, told me they had a Louisiana beer (not Abita) that wasn't on the menu. I can't remember what it was, but I'm sure whomever your server is, will know about it. One reviewer commented on the lack of cleanliness, and I yes, the place isn't the cleanest, but I have to believe they do a very good cleaning at the end of the night because they care so much about the food so it has to translate to the entire operation. While I believe they turn over tables several times in a night, I never felt rushed to eat and leave. Trust me, this is the place to go for crawfish in Alexandria! read more

My friends and I were hungry and ended up stopping by on our way back to OKC. I was a little confused because I thought this was only a market but apparently there is a restaurant. When we went in we were told that they were all out of crawfish. How can you be a crawfish place and not have it? Luckily I don't like crawfish so that was not a big deal to me. I got the breaded shrimp and fries. This place serves big portions so you may want to share with another person. The food was great both when it was served and cold (as I ate the rest of my food on the second part of our trip). I would recommend eating here if you live in the area or driving by. The decor is all crawfish, kind of cool and they have a large statue outside of the restaurant. read more

One star for the bisque and one for the fried fish. First going into the restaurant was ignored for a good five minutes. Then our server seemed in a hurry and I had to follow her around to get the rest of my order in. Ordered bacon covered shrimp stuffed with cream cheese and jalapeño. 4 shrimp for 9.95. The bacon was almost raw and I didn't taste any spice. I ordered a shrimp salad. A huge bowl of iceberg lettuce with 6 shrimp ( which were tasty) and some sliced tomatoes and sliced cucumbers. Way overpriced. I'll pass. read more

Delicious Delicious Delicious! The crawfish was a good size and the shrimp were well seasoned

Would've gave a 5 but we had to ask for our drinks to be refilled and food didn't come out all together, but in increments. Overall the food was delicious! I had fried crawfish tails, these were good tasting and large in size pieces of meat! My husband had the snow crab, corn and potatoes.. he was very pleased! I would recommend this place to anyone! Don't let the old photos on yelp discourage you, this is a very nice place. I think a new section has been built next to what the old pics reveal on this site. read more

This place was good. I ordered the pound of shrimp, because the crawfish weren't in season. Just plain boil. I asked about Cajun. They have seasoning on the table which is pretty spicy. Similar to slap yo mama. For those familiar with seasoning. Place was very clean. They were missing wet naps. I would go back. Menu and prices reasonable. read more

The only place to get crawfish on Sunday and Monday when Robbie G's is closed. The crawfish are good, not overly purged and clean, but still good. The bisque is amazing though...you must try it. This also has easy access off of I-49, due to its good central location. read more

Eat Here Now! We arrived in Alexandria with a Los Angeles based film crew for a quick three-day shoot, but before we split town we had to throw the city boys a real-life Louisiana crawfish boil. That's where the owner Brian and the rest of his crew come in. I grew up in Louisiana so I know what I'm talking about here. Brian, on a very short notice and a very limited budget, showed up at our location with his portable boiler and did it right! They were very patient with us, as we weren't able to start on time, and they treated my crew and the rest of the fifty or so guests that were there like friends. The crawfish were huge and they were seasoned just right. Truly perfection! They killed it! They had my director and one of my camera guys going back for seconds and thirds and they made my sound mixer cry, but in a good way. We'll be back in town this summer and we'll be bringing everyone we can to Swamp Daddy's. Thank you again to Brian and the rest of the gang. You really came through and you helped make our little wrap party a huge success! Dan read more
