    Every time I eat here, I always have a great experience. I admit I order the chicken tenders like I'm an 8 year old, but they are the best chicken tenders I have ever had! They have an excellent bread basket with those tasty fried auzzie rolls and a mixed selection of breads that's only a dollar, with that dollar going to charity! I love that dedication to giving back. I will absolutely recommend Sweetwater to everyone!

    I had such a great experience at Sweetwater Tavern! I went there with my son after the carnival, and it was exactly what we needed. Our server, Jon was absolutely amazing. He was incredibly sweet ,patient, and attentive the entire time. He really took his time with us, kept checking in without being overwhelming, and made sure everything was perfect ,especially appreciated when dining with a child after a long day out. His kindness and professionalism truly stood out and made our visit even more enjoyable. You can tell he genuinely cares about his guests. Highly recommend this place and if you get Jon as your server, you’re in great hands!

    Always great servers, but food wait is long consistently even though food runners are used. The food is usually perfect, though sometimes we've had some dishes that obviously sat under the heat lamp too long. Today my fish tacos were a little too fishy tasting. All in all we've had way more perfect meals than okay ones. The beer selection is great for the IPA crowd, but my husband likes euro style pilsners. They have one seasonally, but not there now. Their light lager is tasty to me, but my husband thinks it's too malty. At 4.3, I think they pack a very full flavor into a light beer.

    My husband, daughter, and I came here hoping for a delicious dinner. Unfortunately, we were served greasy food that seemed like it had been fried in cold oil. My husband ordered the barbecue burger, and although he enjoyed his shoestring fries, the patty on his burger was nearly dripping with oil on top of being poorly seasoned. I ordered the fish tacos that came with a habenero slaw. At first, I did not understand that the spicy slaw came served on top of the tacos, but the waitress and restaurant staff were helpful and accommodated me. They replaced my meal with one that came with slaw on the side and were very apologetic. I definitely don't have any complaints about the customer service. Even though I did taste some of the slaw and it was too spicy for me, I would not consider that an issue. The problem with my food was that the fish was overly fried. I was able to salvage it by picking the crust off, but the sweet potato fries were soggy and inedible. The only meal at the table that was up to par was my daughter's chicken salad. In the end, I regret not having returned my food and asked for a partial refund. All in all, this restaurant's chefs appear to be inexperienced when it comes to preparing fried food. There is room for improvement in their cooking.
