About The Swamp Shack

Welcome to The Swamp Shack, where Southern comfort meets Cajun flair right here in the heart of Charleston. We're a family-owned food truck bringing the most authentic gator dishes to the streets of South Carolina.

Our signature Gator Tater has become legendary among locals, and we take immense pride in serving up authentic flavors with a generous side of Southern hospitality. Every dish is prepared fresh with love and the finest ingredients.

More than just great food, we're committed to giving back to our community through our Pay It Forward program, helping feed those in need one meal at a time.
