The Swanson

After my visit today I will never go back. The server was absolutely amazing as always. However one of our meals was completely cold and the baked potato was still hard and not cooked hardly at all and the grilled chicken was so salty it was inedible (it was also the last meal to come out!) We have order this meal before and it has never been like this. When we asked to have the chicken removed from our ticket since it couldn't even be eaten we were told that not only could it not be removed but that the servers would have have pay for it! We asked to speak with the manager and was told he would not come speak with us. We asked again and when he did come he was completely unprofessional and kept trying to walk off as we were taking. He just kept saying this is how the chicken is always cooked and we should have said something sooner but that it's the servers job to make sure the customers are happy so they will pay for the removed meal. ....why should they be responsible to pay for the meal? Maybe management needs to be responsible for that. It's appalling that the employees are treated this way. I think management either needs to have some updated training or needs to be replaced completely. In the end the meal was removed from our ticket and the server ended up paying for it which we said repeatedly that we will pay for it after we were told she would have to pay for it. We are absolutely appalled at the treatment of the staff and horrified at management's attitude towards the situation and his staff.

We had about a 20 minute wait as they were super busy. We got catfish bites and shrimp for appetizers. Two in our party ordered fried chicken. The waitress said it might be a 30 minute wait as they cook it to order. It didn’t take that long. The other two got salmon and beef tips. Salads were fresh. Everything was so good. We would definitely return here if in the area again.

March 18 2021 went to Swanson with my mate for my birthday ordered fried catfish for me and fried shrimp for her shrimp was great but catfish one piece was crispy good other piece was half cooked and tasted raw and cold ruined the whole meal. Only the third time I had ate there with the other 2 being GREAT. WILL be a long time before I go back!!!

We arrived just before 5 and were seated immediately. Our meal choices were the meatloaf and prime rib. The meals were served within minutes and they were excellent. Great service, great food, and great prices. If you ever have a chance to visit The Swanson do not miss it you will thank me for the review.

We recently stopped here on a whim. We drove through the town of Perry because it is our last name and then we stumbled on this magnificent restaurant. Everything on the menu, that we tried, was delicious. My husband loved the collard green soup and now I am on the hunt for the recipe. The meatloaf was delicious. My kids even loved their food and my children are super-finicky. You won't be disappointed!
