Sweet River Grill & Bar

We went to dinner last night at Sweet River and had a great experience. The food was awesome and our waitress Meghan was such a delight. She was very attentive, perky, and we enjoyed getting to know her a little bit. This is my first restaurant review and I felt it was needed because you don’t come across waiters or waitresses that want to go out of their way to make your dining experience a delight. Thank you Meghan for such great service and my wife and I will be coming back again & we will be asking for you!

New Marlboro burger is great so much extras stuffed in one burger and then frying the patty tops it off. Downer is burger comes out way over cooked asked for medium rare got well. Something to work on for sure. Staff very friendly and manager very nice coming around to each table to ask how’s it going. Beer selection very poor almost all commercial finds with all the empty lines on tap they should work on expanding with a better craft selection. Curious to try some other items will have to come back.

Thought I would try Sweet River one more time after a poor customer Service experience. To my surprise Sweet River has hired in new staff and I was pleasantly greeted at the door by a sweet young man who really seemed to care about our day. Our waitress was a young lady named Elizabeth and she was very attentive and treated us very well. Also to my surprise the had some new items on the menu, I had the sliders on the appetizer menu and they were well made and tasted great! I also had a cup of their awesome French onion soup. My husband tried a new burger and we walked away satisfied and ready to go back next week! Good food and great service made this a great date night out!

Been to this place a few times and nothing goes wrong when I go. Food and drink is always on point when I get there

Use to like this place and would take family there when they were in town. But no more. We went in on a Sunday afternoon for lunch and family visit, the staff refused to accommodate us. We were a group of 8 with one high chair. They wanted to shove us in one booth that sat 6 comfortably, and we said only if you added a table nearby but they said they couldn’t do that. They had a room that was empty that had booths across from each other but said we couldn’t be in there because they didn’t have enough wait staff. As if where we sat made a difference to how much wait staff they had. They then said all they could do for us was two booths with an occupied booth in between. NO THANK YOU. Finally we decided to go somewhere that would allow us to eat and visit our out of town family. NEVER to return to Sweet River.

They got my order wrong and didn’t make it right I will never go back there again and their manager was very rude and they are unwilling to make anything right

This is my favorite place to go for diner the food is always good the service is always excellent except tonight the food was warm at best we waited forever for our food I got my salad after I got my steak and that was only after I told them that I hadn’t gotten it yet! It looked like our waitress had to wait on all the tables in the restaurant! After the manager realized I was not very happy he came over and apologize 3 times because they were short handed maybe instead of apologizing so much maybe he should have been helping to get the food out to the customers! There is nothing worst than a cold steak and baked potato! I thought maybe they might not charge us for part of our meal but they didn’t even offer anything to compensate for the bad
So we go back to Sweet River for my wife’s birthday I had forgotten about the service we received last time but it wasn’t long before it all came back to me! They told us about the special on ribs (which is one of my favorite foods) so I ordered the ribs with a salad after we sat there for awhile the waitress comes and tells us that they were out of ribs! OK that’s fine so I ordered a steak with a salad instead, then here comes the same manager apologizing that they were out of ribs and in fact they had ran out the night before! Now am I missing something or is this something that you might want to share with the wait staff so they are not trying to sell the ribs! Anyway my wife’s food comes but not mine after she’s almost halfway thru with hers they bring my steak again no salad! So I remind them that I didn’t have my salad yet so they bring it after I started eating! What is going on with Sweet River are they trying to go out of business by pissing off all the customers! I received the same crapy service 2 times in a row a month apart! I think it’s time to fire that manager and retrain the wait staff! I doubt I will be coming back anytime soon! Like I said I always liked Sweet River I’ve been coming here for about ten years

People were very nice, but food was very meh… fisherman’s lunch was frozen battered fish fillet like from the box, but the breaded shrimp was ok… still frozen, but ok. Cobb salad was good, but the chopped bacon was burnt and hard as little rocks. They didn’t have Miller Lite, which was ok, but I asked for a Bud Light instead and 5 minutes later the server came to say they were out of Bud Light too… would have gone to IHOP if I’d of known I wasn’t going to get a beer! How does a bar run out of one of the most popular beers? Probably won’t return.

Great service. We had the mushroom burger and it was delish. Parking is a bit cumbersome but overall great experience.
Glad my husband suggested this old time favorite. Surprised it was so empty.

Great service and food. Came in at 8:00 on a Monday and was greeted and sat immediately. Waitress brought our drinks and floor manager introduced himself. Wife’s salmon was excellent and my turkey sandwich was very good. No problem using a dealsaver, we will be back.

You have to try the California Chicken Salad. It’s fantastic! And when you do make sure you eat in the bar and go while Luis is serving. he’s the best! The guy works hard and remembers everything.
If you want good food and great service, you have to go check them out and ask to sit in bar area so Luis can wait on you.

Always a great little place. The service is always good; not rock your socks off, but nothing to complain about.
They don’t give grief to split checks so that is very nice.
Decent portions on food. Even the appetizers hit the spot. The sliders are actually quite good.
I like the bar area {without kids} and it’s quick to get a cold beer. The restaurant itself is family friendly.
Clean restrooms! {this is very nice to know and you know it!}

My family has given this place several tries because of its location. Each time we are disappointed. The service is not very good and the food is not good either. This most recent time we were there my wife got food poisoning. We will not go again.

This is the place to go! The California chicken salad is the best! Our server was so welcoming and attentive I was truly impressed. Can’t wait to go back for lunch, thanks Luis.

Yesterday, Took my mom there for the first time for lunch and host greet us right away and sat us down by the bar. Once our waiter came by he did not introduce himself or welcome us to Sweet River, took our order and it wasn’t long before we got our meal dropped off by the host. She dropped off our food and left didn’t ask if we needed anything else. She took off so fast I couldn’t ask for soda. What was really upsetting was our waiter did not come by once and ask is everything okay, can I get you anything else. My water needed a refill. He sees us, trust me. I just couldn’t wave him down. My mom ordered the giant burrito, it was okay and I got the fettuccine chicken, it was very plain. Needless to say I won’t be going back. Horrible service.

I dont know but when I first came here with my bf like around 2012, we loved the food.
But when we both came back together just a few days ago, i was really disappointed.
Bf got the mushroom burger and i got a tri-​tip sandwich. It was missing some taste. I feel like it needed some sauce of some kind.
We asked for some kind of sauce and a mayonaise but the waiter gave us bbq sauce, honey mustard, and something else that doesnt really go with it. He forgot my mayonaise. We ended up eating with ketchup so DISAPPOINTING especially for the PRICE. TOO EXPENSIVE for that kind of food and service.

Don’t ever go there!!! Being new to town I decided to try it before seeing a movie, oh what a mistake!
I was by myself on a Friday, so I sat at the bar, and the bar was fairly full of people. And the poor bartender was running around like a chicken with his head cut off, not only handling the bar but tables outside the bar area as well! The dining room was completely dead besides just a few tables so I wonder if he was the only server besides the host!
Eventually I got my drink and food, the food was mediocre. The main entrée was pretty good but I just wanted extra veggies instead of a potato, so I got a ton of nearly raw veggies with no seasoning whatsoever. They were nasty.
But once I finished my meal I ordered another drink before I walked over to my movie, and after I took a sip of it I looked at my glass and was horrified to to see an some OLD DEAD SPIDERS FLOATING IN THE ICE!!! I stayed calm and got the nice servers attention, and he was surprised and embarassed and made me a new drink immediately… he apologized several times and even shook my hand when I left. I wasnt really upset at him, he was SO busy…
I have worked in the restaurant industry for years myself, and it’s obvious that this place has some sanitation issues. Every night the ice tray is supposed to be drained/​covered. So if they were dusting old cobwebs and something floated in there, that is unacceptable! Who knows what other sanitation issues they have.
Not to mention I got a handshake and an apology, thanks buddy. He should have comped my drink, that would have been a real customer apology.
Don’t EVER go there!!!

I’ve never been here before, but I came in for a late lunch/​early dinner and got the half-​sandwich and soup. Not many people are here. Bar area’s noisy (as most are); nice patio, and the two interior sections look deserted.
I got the turkey-​bacon-​avocado sandwich on lettuce; the bacon was nice and crisp, and it had a lot of flavor. I got the clam chowder – it tasted canned. My waitress, Amie, said it might’ve been frozen and agreed to the texture being wrong. She replaced the soup with potato salad, which was WONDERFUL. Big red potatoes, nicely done, with enough mustard and pickles to give it some flavor. The iced tea was obviously freshly-​brewed, as it melted the ice quickly; Amie brought me out a glass of ice.
Great service, mostly good food, OK environment. Will try again sometime.

You have to try the California Chicken salad and sit in the bar area and be waited on by Luis. He is the bar tender and a great guy and hustles his butt off in there.
They are redoing the floors right now so it can be a little dusty during the construction but don’t let that stop you. You have to check it out and you won’t be disapointed.

Unbelievable…
This cocky, rude, and overall careless staff was «too busy» to get carb counts for our diabetic daughter! REALLY? You are too busy to deal with a health issue with one of your patrons!!! I have never been so irritated with a restraint in my life. Can these managers have any less class and any less customer retention skills?
The reality is, they just don’t care about their customers. This should speak volumes to you if you plan on eating here. I hope upper management actually reads posts here and deals with this low level, poor excuse for a management team. On a side note, I’ll be looking up actionable laws for not having nutrition information available upon request.
I will be avoiding spending any mine here ever again.
Diabetic friends, feel free to give this place a «friendly» call and ask them what their problem is.
