Our one night out a week family dinner (7/7) - what an excellent choice we made by dining at Sweetwater Tavern! We started the dining experience with an old fashioned for my husband and sangrias for both my daughter and I. The drinks were smooth, delightful and spot on in their mix. Ozzie rolls were hot and the calamari was cooked well and melted in your mouth. We got the Berkshire Pork Chop, Bacon Cheeseburger and the Pasta Primavera with chicken and shrimp. And for dessert we got the bread pudding! Everything was seasoned perfectly and portion size was better than expected. The service and atmosphere were pleasant and we had a very enjoyable dinner. We will be back!

Started off with the bread basket, spin dip, and lobster bisque. Bisque was a little on the salty side but had great flavor! Spinach artichoke dip was good and just what you’d expect. The bread was different, but good, almost like a fried bread, slightly sweet with a honey butter that makes it very hard to resist. For the main, my buddy got the chicken strips, and I ordered the 12oz prime rib blackened. The waitress came back and told me they were out of the 12oz, but had the 16oz….. mmmkay, 16oz it is, but couldn’t you just…. Never mind… we split both. The prime rib was cooked perfectly and delicious, blackened is definitely the way to go. The chicken strips had really good flavor, but if they sit to long they get soggy really quickly. Over all, I’d recommend a stop in. From what we experienced, the execute dish well and seem eager to please. Good service. Oh, and a large selection of craft brews, not so much on the domestic side.

One of my favorite restaurants! I no longer live in the area but when I’m in town I make sure to come by here (or one of the other Great American restaurants). Food is delicious and consistent. I was very impressed by the Field Salad. Unfortunately, salads often seem to be an afterthought but this one was delicious! The toasted pine nuts were an especially classy touch. The tex-Mex egg rolls were crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside. The avocado sauce that comes with them is a perfect complement. The mains: I always feel a little childish ordering the chicken tenders but they are just SO GOOD. The breading on them is light, crispy, and bubbly and the chicken is moist. The hanger steak was incredible — perfectly cooked and buttery. The mahi mahi special was also great! Save room for dessert — the flourless chocolate waffle is decadent and a perfect size to share with a date. The homemade root-beer is also delicious, I rarely drink soda but always have to get it. The wait staff here are some of the best! Attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable.

Stopped here after a Sam's club run, what a delight. I ordered the crab shrimp fritters, Brussel sprouts, assorted bread basket and key lime pie. Everything was tasty. Service was excellent , atmosphere a little loud. Can't wait to try when I can sit outside on the water

that's terrible. I was a bit dissatisfied as well when I ordered last week for curbside pickup. I ordered 2 signature Drunken Ribeyes steaks and literally got 4 baby sauteed mushrooms on each order. was delicious but 4 mushrooms though. Was very stingy.
