The Swinging Door

About this business

This popular restaurant looks like something straight out of a western movie. The barn-like exterior and wooden floors add the perfect touch of rusticity. A live band plays out back on Friday and Saturdays. Put on your boots and get ready for some two-stepping. Bring your appetite and sample all the Texas barbecue you can handle. The brisket, chicken and ribs are superb but save a little room for some blackberry or peach cobbler. It just might be the best this side of the Mississippi River.

It was our first time to eat at The Swinging Door with all praises from regulars and friends . The experience was very frustrating it took, 1 hour for our order to be served. The excuse from the management is unreasonable , they should have informed us before we ordered that it will be an hour before the food will be served. What a way to spoil nice weekend. 

Business response:

Biboy Reyes- I am sorry to hear that you had a bad experiance for your first visit. There is no excuse or reason your food should have taken an hour to come out and you are correct you should have been told of the wait.

Came to eat here for the 1st time tonight and it was Awesome!!!! I will most definitely make the drive again...soon. Yes, it was that good to me. Reese (our waiter) was pretty cool. I liked that he came by, but just poked his head to make sure we had what we needed when we needed it. He has my vote!!

Drove in from Dallas today. Fabulous food and our waitress Shana was more than what we expected. Just an amazing experience they were extremely busy and our waitress made everything worth the wait for our visit today after many years.
