Sweetwater Marina & Riverdeck

We were in for a dinner on Sat evening, and while the place claims to be a restaurant, it is more like bar with giant sports monitors and bar style food (hit and miss, really, after sampling a few dishes). Service was friendly and quick enough, but the bar music was super-loud, so basic conversation was a problem. Location is very picturesque within a stone throw of Wharton State Forest.

I always love coming here! Our server was super nice but maybe kept forgetting about us? Not sure what was going on. But after a long wait for drinks, food, check we decided to go to the bar for some drinks and walk around and then I noticed I had lost my keys,🥴 when Ed the front guy (bouncer) noticed we were looking for my keys he then started helping us look all over the place for them he was the sweetest! I finally found them on top of the front desk. Thank you Ed for all your help! 🙏🏽

I went to Sweetwater with a friend for their Christmas Walk-through & dinner. We drove an hour to attend & my friend even called ahead to make sure it was accessible the same day. It was advertised as running on a Thursday eve From 5- 8:30. When we arrived none of the holiday wonderland attraction was lit up or available to enjoy. We were a little miffed because nobody mentioned that it would be closed that evening due to 'windy weather'(not). The restaurant decor was very festive tho & it was trivia night, so we decided to stay. It was also prime rib night but that was a little disappointing also. A woman at the table next to me sent hers back citing it was cold. When she got it back it was overcooked. I hoped mine would be done properly, but alas...also reheated and overdone. I didn't complain since the night was already less than we planned. Then we played trivia. It involves a remote control & while I was getting some answers right, I had no points. I told the game leader my remote was not working properly but he 'shamed' me publicly and said it was my answers. 1/2 way thru, with still 0 points I insisted he check it. I was right. It was broken...so he said it was the 1st time ever & that never happens, so he gave us 150 pts. But he did not retract his earlier snub & we were not able to bounce back, lol. The whole night became laughable and we chalked it up to "Piney-Problems", lol. The Jersey devil must've cursed the place but our Christmas spirit shined brightly, regardless!

Sweetwater Marina & Riverdeck is an absolute gem in the Pine Barrens. The staff is welcoming, the marina is well maintained, and the restaurant has great food and a perfect atmosphere right on the river. Whether you’re pulling in by boat, finishing a paddle, or just coming for a meal, it’s one of the best spots around to relax and enjoy the water. We’re grateful to have such a great local business in our community!

I attended on December 11, 2025 for dinner and the walk-through light show. I have celiac disease and although they have VERY limited choices that I can choose from (in which I was well aware ahead of time), the gluten-free roll (for a cheesesteak) was AWFUL. The restaurant was not busy at all as it was a Thursday night yet my family of 5 got their food delivered at all different times. At the conclusion of dinner, imagine my surprise that to use to the bathrooms, you have to walk OUTSIDE (it was 30 degrees) only to find the women's bathroom door open a foot, 2 of the 5 toilets were clogged and disgusting, the refillable soap dispenser cartridge was disabled and sitting on the sink. I don't want to even think about if the service members even washed their hands after using the bathroom themselves. When I brought the condition of the bathroom to the manager, also mentioning that my bill was $125 and how if Sweetwater is going to open year-round, they need indoors, acceptable bathrooms, the manager only took off 20% after I strenuously encouraged her to view the condition of the bathrooms herself. She should have comped the whole meal. Then, as I inquired about light show, the waitress said that because of the wind they canceled it for the night. Not one person mentioned that until we were ready to go through it. Save your money. Go see lights and enjoy a better meal elsewhere. Will not be returning anytime soon.

Just left this establishment and returned home, such a terrible experience there today. We arrived and were promptly seated (good so far) I ordered the chicken parm with vodka sauce and fries my wife got a chicken cheesesteak with chips. First the service was so bad we sat for the longest time before even being acknowledged and it really wasn’t crowded. Finally we placed our order (it took forever to get to us) my chicken parm sandwich was room temp at best and the chicken was so over cooked. Either they burnt the chicken or their fryer has old dirty oil because the sandwich tasted awful. My wife’s sandwich came with house made chips and they were burnt and very bitter tasting the same as my sandwich. When getting ready to leave the server asked if we needed “boxes” I responded one box only for my wife’s 1/2 of sandwich as mine was awful and I wouldn’t be taking it. After waiting 10 minutes for the box we decided to leave without taking anything. While waiting for the box we noticed our server sitting at a table chatting with friends. I’m out a total of $71 but I’ll never return there again. Terrible food, Terrible service but nice job on the Christmas decorations! Sweet water BLOWS! 🤢

The atmosphere is casual but fun. Choices to sit inside or outside. Band was setting up as were leaving so will def be back. Food was good. Service was really great!

Sweetwater Marina & Riverdeck is an absolute dream venue! The marina backdrop is breathtaking, between the water views and sunset, it’s picture-perfect from every angle. The space has such a fun yet relaxed vibe, with decks both upstairs and down, giving guests plenty of room to enjoy the view. Chris was truly amazing to work with. He went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect and made the entire process so easy and enjoyable. You can tell he genuinely cares about each couple and their day. The food was incredible, from the cocktail hour to dinner, everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Our guests are still raving about it! And the drinks were just as amazing, the bartenders crafted everything to perfection and kept the energy up all night. For how beautiful this venue is, the price is unbelievably reasonable. You get the full waterfront experience, amazing food and drinks, and a team that truly delivers. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate!

This is a great spot! It's located right on the water so the atmosphere is awesome! theres a large indoor area as well as a big outside seating area with picnic tables, fire pits and lounging chairs. There was live music while we were there too. They are known for their cocktail buckets and I think our table probably drank 20 of them collectively. For $15 it's a pretty good deal! Their food menu consists of sushi, pizzas, some sandwiches and apps. Everything we ordered was good! This is definitely a relaxing atmosphere and a great place to just chill. Grab a drink and a chair and watch the sunset. If I lived closer i'd definitely return!

A group of 4 adults goes out to grab dinner and drinks, walking up the door we are charged 10$ charge for a band that we didn't even want to see, there was no option to decline to pay, you had to 10$ just to get to the hostess stand. Then we sat inside and you can hear the band but we weren't there for that and it felt ridiculous to pay for it when we didn't want to watch a band. We ordered the bang bang shrimp and nachos to start, terrible choices. The shrimp was deep fried and it had this weird crunch to it and almost no flavor. The nachos weren't great, the chips were soggy and fell apart. We order apps and dinner at the same time the problem is we assumed they would come out separate, nope they came out while we were just trying the apps. Dinner was a turkey BLT, chicken fingers, Mikes Burger and roast pork Italiano... none of this food had any flavor-they barely used salt. The food was so bland, we all ate 1/2 of the food and didn't take home leftovers. It was a 4$ upcharge for fries and they were gross. Definitely wont be returning, the vibes are fine, but the bad food isnt worth the drive through the pineys.

South Jersey hidden gem ! Made reservations here on one of the hottest days so far this summer. I requested to be inside because we were bringing my mom & they had no problem honoring that request. Everyone was super nice & friendly. The only caveat is that their "inside" isn't really inside. However lots of giant fans are blowing & being on the water, there's a breeze. When we arrived for our 6:30 pm dinner reservation. We were surprised to see that a $10 pp cover charge (cash only) was needed. So keep that in mind when going on the weekends. We ordered the sushi - I recommend the sweetwater roll.. so good! Wings - one of the best wings we've had. The perfect amount of crunch! Cheesesteak egg roll - yuuumm Lobster roll - huge portions & tasty Cheesesteak- cooper sharp just like it should be. We will definitely be back, probably go a little earlier & on a cooler day!

Started off great drinks were good, asked about their sushi or server let us know. It's the same sushi you get at ShopRite, which I'm not paying their listed price for grocery store sushi. So we got the hangover burger bacon was so burnt. It turned into dust if he touched it, Patty was dry. Cheese wasn't even melted. French fries were good. We also ordered the cheesesteak eggrolls, which were the best part of our food. Also, extremely overpriced we paid $21 a burger and didn't even eat it. It was so terrible maybe you have to be really drunk to be able to enjoy their food. The service was subpar at best he gave off the you being here is a bother to me vibe. I just went and checked their online menu. I thought the burgers were listed at $17 when we order. I have confirmed from their website. The burgers we got were listed at $17 and we paid $21. If prices have changed update your menus.

Great place for fun in the sun! Awesome views. Good atmosphere too! Great for people and boats watching.

This place checked all of the boxes for us. Super cool place. The view of the river was nice, very clean and the food was delicious. Food was tasty and came out super fast. Some of the best wings I have had in a while. Our server was on point.

This was a total nightmare! We had a reservation for 6:30 p.m. Two of us came from an hour away and the other two came from 40 minutes away. It started out ok. We ordered alcoholic beverages and they were brought out fairly quickly. We then ordered appetizers before we ordered our meal and they took about 1/2 hour or more to come out. The appetizes we ordered were just potato skins and a bowl of shrimp. When the appetizers were delivered, three of us wanted to order off the barbecue pork menu that was on the table. When we went to place the meal order, the waiter informed us that there was no barbecue pork left and that the menu should have been removed from the table. That was the first issue because we waited long to put in our meal order in the first place. We had to rethink what we were ordering so the waiter left which wasted more of our time. The waiter came back again and took our meal order. We waited, and we waited, and we waited for our meals. The waiter kept coming back and wanted to know if we wanted more alcoholic beverages and we did not. And we continued to wait for our meals. I informed the waiter that we were going to leave, that it was ridiculous for this long of a wait to get 4 sandwiches. We ordered two steak sandwiches, one was in a wrap and one was in a roll. We ordered a lobster roll and a pork sandwich. The waiter advised that the the kitchen was overloaded because of the amount of people there, plus they had a graduation party upstairs. Though that was the case, we only ordered sandwiches which should not have taken more than 15 minutes or so to prepare. Finally, when our food came out, the waiter gave three of us our meals but just gave the other person fries and said his steak sandwich was coming out soon. Keep in mind, one of us ordered a steak wrap and one a steak sandwich. That should have come out together. There is no way they put steak on the grill for just the wrap!! I'm sure they had enough steak to make the sandwich as well at the same time as the wrap! The steak sandwich did not come out until about 20 minutes later. The French fries that went with the steak sandwich was then cold. It was very awkward that three of us were eating and one was not due to the lack of the steak sandwich not coming out as one of us was eating a steak wrap. It was the same kind of steak!! Also, people who arrived after us were getting served before us. It seemed like the ones that ordered more and more alcoholic beverages were getting served their meal first. After three of us were halfway through out meals and the other person that ordered the steak sandwich was still waiting, he told the waiter to take the steak sandwich off the bill because he no longer wanted it. About 5 minutes later, the waiter came out with the steak sandwich anyway but the waiter was advised that the steak sandwich was not going to be eaten and that we were leaving. We paid the bill and left. It was an awful experience. We will never, ever return here and will advise others as well. keep in mind that unless you order a bunch of alcoholic drinks, be prepared to wait about 2 hours for your meal. They cater to the ones that order alcoholic beverages and make the others wait for their meal. I guess it wasn't enough that three of us had a alcoholic beverage. They wanted us to keep ordering more drinks. They do not even deserve a 1 star. I give 0 stars!

5 for ambiance 3 for service 3 for food Started off with a bucket drink, very tasty and refreshing. Appetizers - the lobster Mac and cheese balls were good, nice flavor but not much lobster. The cheesesteak egg rolls could have had more meat. The pretzel antipasto was a great combination of meats, cheeses, olives and other yummy items. Lunch - the Buffalo chicken salad could have had a little more in it the just the lettuce and chicken. However the Buffalo favor was sweet and spicy. The burrata pizza which we added chicken to could have been seasoned more - garlic, salt, pepper or a combination. The cheesesteak sandwich was fair. The pear Burrata salad with prosciutto was light, refreshing and all round very good. I would have liked the other half of the pear.

A friend of mine and I took a day trip to Smithville, and hit Sweetwater on our way home. A friend had recommended it and I'm so happy he did. The service was great! We were seated for a moment before we were beveraged and given menus (I think by the manager) Super engaging and friendly. Our server was Liam. He was a hustler. He had a few tables and I watched as her was closing out bills and getting drinks for his other tables. When he got to us, I actually told him we were in no hurry and were enjoying the atmosphere of the bar and restaurant. The restaurant and the outside is a total Halloween vibe which was such a pleasant amazing surprise. I love Halloween. Apparently Sweetwater does a huge Halloween party every year! So if Halloween is your thing, this could be your place. The food was good, prices were reasonable and service was great. Liam is a great server and friendly and engaging with all his customers. He handled a lot of tables very well. All in all - worth the drive for the full experience. I took pictures of the Halloween decor, but none of my food ‍

Excellent service, thanks Sean! Great drinks, cheesesteak egg rolls are excellent. Drunken clams, delicious! River burger with sauted onions and mushrooms... so good! View of the river can't be beat.

This is much more than a great restaurant , it's an entertainment complex. The magnificent Mullica River flows by, offering outstanding boating and water sports as well as outdoor seating and dining that can't be found at the Jersey shore. The restaurant provides wonderful menu items, cooked to perfection, and many special nights with superb crab, prime rib, and steak, the list seems endless. Perhaps best of all is the staff, friendly and courteous. They make everyone feel like family , which is why we are regulars. For a great time , fueled by incredible drink service , visit Sweetwater Riverdeck and Marina.

Great atmosphere. Kid friendly. Great boat docks/boaters, friendly staff, good bands/food, great owners. Hidden gem.

Was told about this place hidden in the pines. Finally got to see what it was about. Wow, what a cool spot. A large venue overlooking the water. Docks to pull your boat up to, or drive in with your car. Huge waterfront seating area, huge outdoor seating area, indoor seating by the bar with TV's to watch the games, fire pit seating, outdoor game area with corn hole and other stuff, a large banquet hall, live music...what else do you want. Food was fine. Good selection of pub type food. Hangover burger was delicious. Drunken clams, mozzarella sticks, Munster cheese pull, shrimp, sushi, there's something for you. Drinks were great. I recommend the buckets....yes bucket drinks. Service was outstanding. Our server Josh was awesome, not only keeping the drinks and food coming, but entertained with some juggling!! Great time all around.

The concept is great, but its execution, not so much. Most of the food was mediocre, except the pizza which was just BAD - as in it makes Papa Johns seem like gourmet pizza in comparison. Drinks were decent, but we sat at the bar and found the bartenders to be extremely inattentive and just not very friendly, although I think "regulars" probably have a different experience. The band playing that day was just plain awful.

Fun atmosphere on the water... bar food, salads, sushi... specialty drinks... good for kids as well as adults!

Went here in the summer for lunch.... Worst lobster roll ever!! There was prob 4 chunks of lobster meat? The rest was imitation crabmeat... outdoor dining was nice, but that was it... the she-crab bisque have a little bit of a sour taste to it . DEFINITELY NEVER COMING BACK EVEN IF THE FOOD IS FREE

Sweetwater was a recommendation and a 1/2 ride from Marlton, and it was worth it. Two kids and 4 adults on Sunday of Labor Day weekend with no reservation and we waited maybe 15 minutes. Food was bar food and not bad but the grilled chicken for the salad didn't come until my wife was almost done. Kids had plenty to keep them occupied. We will be back!

Honestly, it is a good place to sit down to eat and look at the view, The food is good but the prices are a bit up for those who live in the area. We ended up going to Boondocks rest. for our takeaway or even sitting down and relaxing a little after work.

Service was really bad tonight. Took over 20 minutes to get a bartender to when recognize us. Many patrons were complaining of this. Food was a little slow but to be expected. Food was excellent when it came out. Prices did go up. We had the poke tuna bowl and the fries chicken sandwich. Both were excellent. We love this place and know there are always hiccups but tonight the service was lacking. The bartenders even admitted it. Hopefully they bump up staff for the main season.

If you want mediocre food at fine dining prices with a biker bar ambiance, this is the place for you.

I'll start with service. First time there, we put our name in and they said about an hour wait.... We got there at 1:40pm. During this time we found the bar outside and I ordered the watermelon crush. Honestly, it was the worst drink I've ever had. It did not taste or smell like it had any alcohol in it. I had my finance taste it as well and he agreed. I chalked it up to them probably running out of liquor and pretending to even make me a real drink. After I had received my drink I saw some employees bringing two bottles of vodka to the bar I had just ordered from. Go figure . At 3:00 we went back up and asked if they forgot about us beings it was well over an hour and hadn't gotten a text. They said it wouldn't be longer then 10 minutes. Waited another half hour and went back up. They said we "should be ready soon," and sat us. This was at 3:30. Our actual server was kind. He came right over about 5 minutes into sitting down. We decided to order everything right away since at this point we were starving. We ordered one app and drinks to start along with our entrees. The nachos and drinks came out pretty fast. I was actually surprised considering how long we waited to sit. Came out in maybe ten minutes. Nachos were good, pretty loaded. I got the bucket mojito, I knew this drink would be better considering it was made at the actual bar and I was right. .... Still pretty disappointed at the watermelon drink considering it was $10.00 and basically consisted of sparking water and a piece of watermelon with a handful of ice. My finance got beer he was satisfied. After we got the app and drinks we waited for our food at around 4:00 our waiter finally came over and said something happened with our ticket and it never got made so we finally got our food at 4:30. The food was your regular bar food. My finance didn't act like his burger was out of this world. He never said weather he liked it or not. Which means it was "ok." I got the pulled pork... it was piled on. The Cole slaw was ok.. a little dry. We finished up at 5:40pm. I kept going back and forth in my mind wondering why everything happened to us the way it did, and where they could've done better. It's ashame because the location is great, the setting is beautiful. The idea is there, but the service lacks bad! Seems like they're understaffed and management let's too much slide. I may go back... not really sure. Who has 4 hours to sit around just for a burger ?! And if you're paying $10.00 for a drink, make sure it's actually made right! This mama worked hard all week for that watermelon crush all to get a water logged watermelon crumb.

Went there for a New Year's party. I was hoping there would be more seating but there wasn't much, most of it was taken especially in buffet area. Would've been nice if their bartenders had a menu of mixed drink specials but when asked they couldn't provide one. Dance floor wasn't very big for the live band. Not the venue's fault, but be aware there is no T-Mobile coverage in the area. My Uber driver had some trouble getting to the venue when his reception cut out.

One of our favorite places, we are here at least once a week. The setting is absolutely magnificent, one of the loveliest areas in the state. We've tried most of the items on the menu and they're all delicious and the pricing is amazingly low. Perhaps the best of all, the people, they are very friendly and helpful and seem committed to helping you have a great time. We have recommended Sweetwater to a number of our friends and everyone has absolutely enjoyed it. Already looking forward to our next visit!

Dined here with friends on a beautiful Saturday for lunch. Service, food, and cocktails were spot on including the amazing atmosphere and band! Prices were fair and our server was friendly and fun! Would definitely return!

My family's first time here and it was Easter Brunch. The staff is top-notch especially with little kids running around. The food is great ...ok I did have a small problem with the Cook's use of OLD BAY seasoning. Dude you need to dial that stuff back a little. Just a suggestion, you should have other people busing the dishes. The servers have other stuff to do. But all and all we would do this again.

The pizza tasted like spaghetti o's. Awful. Ambiance is nice though, I like the live music and drinks. But just avoid the food.

Service is good. Food is modern & tasty as to be expected. Bucket drinks beers etc outside in season, inside is warm, giant tv's playing the eagles games

The Ambiance is fantastic. On the River. Great views of the water and open architecture with the garage style doors. Was very excited when we arrived. Great bar with tons of seating. Food? You will find better food at a fast food chain. If the start rating is based on food it is below one star. Nachos looked like they came from Taco Bell. The pizzas were frozen pizzas served on the cardboard they come on. The wings/tails were friend chicken nuggets. Would recommend for drinks! Great scenery. Don't go if you are hungry!

Not sure if management or the chefs or both changed hands since I was here 4 years ago - but the venue got a lot nicer and the food and service got significantly worse unfortunately. Our server was nice, but also terrible. Took forever to get drinks and the apps came out fast, but between apps and ordering our entrees - an entire hour went by without seeing our server. In terms of service standards that's arguably unacceptable. To make it worse the food was just average. My burger was super dry. The loaded fries with chicken had nearly no chicken. The fish tacos were phoned in at best. Our party of five dropped about 260 with tip, and aside from the view it wasn't money well spent. The live music and view were both great - the rest was forgettable. Likely my last trip here honestly. There's way better places to eat near the water.

The views and atmosphere here earns Sweetwater 4 out of 5 stars. Typically when I come to the Riverdeck I avoid ordering food. I haven't really had the best experiences with the food here especially for the price. I normally come to have a few drinks and relax by the water. We arrived on Thursday at probably 5:30ish. It was empty and we had our choice whether we wanted to sit at the bar, a table under the pavilion, or at a picnic bench by the water. It was a nice night so we chose near the water. There is a special on Thursdays ($2 domestic drafts and $5 Tito's, Capt Morgan, Espolon, Bulleit cocktails). We ordered a few margaritas, a couple yuengling drafts, and a couple glasses of house Pinot Grigio. Our total was $33 which is very reasonable. By the time we decided to leave it was packed. The bar was filled and all the tables were basically occupied. Our server was helpful with any questions we may have had and did not make us wait too long considering the distance she had to walk from our tables to the bar to place orders and run out food/drinks.

Came here last night for an event and really enjoyed the atmosphere. We sat outside and watched the band. The sun setting over the water just made it all worth it. There's a lot of space here for parties and events. You can even reserve a fire pit right off the docks. They also have a small ice cream shop/gift shop which I think is super cute and awesome. The only complaint I have is the food is pretty forgettable. We would've indulged on food if it were actually good quality and portion size for the price. I wasn't impressed with their calamari or nachos. It was whatever. We still ate it but we certainly wouldn't go out of our way to come here just to eat.

The food is ok nothing special special. The servers are friend and happy to answer any question you may have. The ambiance is wonderful and beautiful, it nice being on the river and friends and family along with live music. sweetwater Marina and riverdeck hits all the things you need for a wonderful day or night.

The location/ambience is great! Right on the water, building is nicely done, service is great! The down side is the food, it's mediocre at best, also I think it is overpriced for what it is. Drinks/beer selection is great, so take this review for what it is!

The Service was terrible. We waited over 90 minutes for salads and sandwiches. They do not have enough help and kitchen cannot keep up. Multiple tables left around us without their food! The prices on the menus are wrong. 3 of our 5 items were 3-4$ more than the menu said. It's sad because the atmosphere is amazing !

The main issue with this place is the consistency. Food - Very hit or miss. I've had some food that is very good, but some that wasn't . My wife has trouble finding things to eat due to her corn allergy. Service - Another hit or miss. We've had some very good servers and some that don't give you the time of day. Beer/Liquor - The beer selection is very good and they have some interesting cocktails. Atmosphere/View - The view is really nice as it's right on the water. The place itself is really beautiful. The political flags are a turn off. Entertainment - They get some really good bands so that's a plus.

Ambiance great - can not beat the sun set and being on the Mullica river Good not great - you can tell they don't care about having food. They have it as a convenience. They are more concerned with the bar. Service slow - staff seems they done care Drinks are very good

Want to escape to an island like atmosphere? This is the place for you. Beware it is not a hidden gem and gets crowded so be prepared to wait for a table. There is inside and outdoor seating. They have great lively bands on the weekends which adds to the whole party scene. The drinks are good but a little weak and they have flavorful bucket drinks. The only thing to be on the lookout for is you are out in the boondocks so there is limited Wi-Fi. We were meeting our friends and couldn't get in touch with them when we arrived. I enjoyed our relaxing day spent here and will return on the next sunny day.

Meh, Yelp reviews were accurate. The service was decent, but the food is par for the course in the area I guess. They know how to deep fry food, and that's about it. The fish in the fish and chips were breaded and fried really well, but they were really fishy. I'm guessing they were frozen? How much volume of fish and chips do y'all push per week and still don't use fresher fish? Brisket fries were awful. Again, the French fries were fried well, but the shredded brisket had no flavor, and the sauce tasted like it was from a cheap bottle of barbecue sauce from Murphy's. Korean burger, huh? I am Korean. Honestly, I was a bit hopeful when I saw that y'all romanized gochujang somewhat correctly, but I would like to meet the people that are fooled into thinking this was remotely Korean. Didya dump some bottled teriyaki and call it a day?? The meat was also dry and well done. In hindsight, no one even asked what temperature I wanted the patty. The fresh pretzels were good, but the cheese sauce was so weird. What the hell do you put in it? Not coming back, especially considering we were not allowed to sit right on the RIVERDECK. Isn't that in your restaurant name and your wifi password??? Flabberghasting!

Very happy place from the minute you drive in. Great place for watching sports on the big screen T V's or just sit at a table in the back and enjoy. We had a great waiter (red hair) he was very attentive. Chicken wrap was very good the chips ok but could have been better, over spiced. Go you will enjoy the experience.

We love brunch, so when they announced they'd be taking reservations for it, we made one. Brunch takes place in the upstairs ballroom area. It's clean, bright and comfortable with a big attached deck. The Bloody Mary itself wasn't great, wondering if it would've been better to have gone with spicy. Couldn't taste any vodka in it, tasted like straight up mix... but none of that really matters because the candied bacon was the best bacon ever. Carried the whole drink, perhaps the whole meal. Also noting that the buffalo wing tasted just like Pic A Lilli. Lots of options, from scrambled eggs to custom omelets. From bacon and sausage to prime rib and shrimp. Yogurt, french toast, dessert, and the list goes on. Overall it was all very tasty.

Great friendly place price reasonable, family oriented as well with excellent view of the water and good service !!

The three of us guys pulled up in our boat on Wed, July 12th, around lunchtime. Place wasn't busy at all, but more than enough staff. We were greeted by an experienced waitress, who was training another girl. We sat down at a high table for 3, near the bar and staff table. 2 of my friends had a food menu, but I didn't. There were 7 bar menus on the table, but only 2 food menus. When I returned from the restroom, she asked what we're having...I told her "how about a menu" - "oh, you don't have one"?! Uh, no...there's 3 chairs, 3 of us, as you can see, but 2 food menu's and drink menu's, and 2 waitresses, with 4-5 helpers sitting around doing nothing. Buddy gave me his menu, since they didn't bother to set the menu's in order of # of chairs (3 chairs, 3 food & drink menu's right?). All's fine, I got over it, I was a little hot & hungry from the long boat ride, so we ordered food, then we wanted to buy some Merch from the Store..."Sorry, it's closed" - We're like, what do you mean it's closed? My friend asked her again, if she could chk with a manager to let us grab a few shirts and pay...no chance, according to her. Absolutely no way in hell do they want customers buying $100 worth of Tshirt Merch on a not-so busy Wednesday, when there's 5 helper kids sitting around doing nothing, next to us, any of which could have been working those Kiosks. Instead, checking their phones the entire time we were there (along with vaping)! And, the Ice Cream kiosk was closed...another smart move on a 92 Deg, muggy day. The food was good, but for a $100 bill and 20%+ tip, this place needs to get their act together with Menu's and making sure to open up their Merch and Ice Cream shops, esp on a hot muggy day, and over-staffed with kids doing nothing. Better Site Management is needed at Sweetwater.

Went to sweetwater to celebrate my sister's birthday. I've gone here before, and the ambiance of the place is awesome. It's beautiful, right on the water, but the service is awful. We were sat right away, but everything took forever to come out. We waited 40 minutes for our drinks. We waited 2 HOURS for appetizers... appetizers! The food came out clearly rushed after we finally complained about the wait time. I sampled some of the appetizers and didn't end up finishing the food because I genuinely was nervous about getting food poisoning if I continued to eat it. Nothing about this establishment flows. Food runners continuously get confused which food goes to which tables. This restaurant has so much potential, but they seriously need to check their food quality and implement better training for their staff. 2 stars is for the views here.

Disappointed is definitely an understatement. You'd think a guaranteed 1+ hour wait would mean good food. Nope! You'd think after waiting over an hour you'd get your food quick. Nope! You'd think that your apps would come before your entrees. Nope! Everything about this place was disappointing. The food stunk, and we got cold appetizers at the same time our food came out (over an hour sitting waiting for it). They pack people in like sardines that have been sitting on the shelf for a year just to be understaffed and have everyone wait around for mediocre Walmart provided food. We also had to wait 10 mins for our sticky table to be wiped down, because when we asked our waitresses they looked like we asked them to fight Godzilla. Oh and if you're cold, you have the pleasure of looking at heaters that probably either don't work, or the waitresses don't want to take 10 whole seconds to turn on. The wings were decent and the location/property were cool so that's why it isn't 1 star.

The food was average. The drinks were average. The scene is great. The service is terrible. The kitchen- ridiculous. The front welcome station looked like it was run by teenagers. No one was in charge. No one took charge. It was awful. Our hour and half wait turned into 2 + hours. We didn't receive a text that our table was ready and for a third time after I went up to the station- they said oh texts don't work sometimes. I am sorry but Then you need a different notification system !! Our waitress looked tired and the last place she wanted to be was working. Food took 75+ minutes to come out. Soups did not even come out. Nor any appetizers. Everything came out at once. The potato skins were something I never saw before. Extremely tiny and a strange taste. We have worked in the service industry before and it was one of our worst experiences ever. A more mature staff might help. Either way - our review will most likely do nothing to your business but maybe management can look at some of these issues. We are one of many who feel like this. We might be back for drinks one day. It is a beautiful spot but we liked the old restaurant much better.

Great place to take country ride to. Not the same as Rhita Danny era but unlike Antiques business needs to conform to market And new owners have successfully done this put this place on your foodie cocktail list.

What a beautiful place to enjoy summer. Mostly all outdoor seating and an open air bar. The bar can be closed in during cold weather. The food was great, although a little pricey. Their menu online is nowhere near what the menu is when you get there. We ordered one of almost every appetizer and it was delicious.

Sweetwater always continues to deliver, we needed the space for a last min party and as always the girls were so accommodating and understanding. Great service and great food! Sometimes it can get very very busy in the summer and it can be overwhelming but still wonderful.

My bud Rob and I were cruising around on the Harleys and decided to stop here. Very good food! Great atmosphere and scenery, and the band playing was very good. I highly recommend this place!

Today I came in with my girlfriends and we had service from Mike, Karlee and Wes! Food was awesome! Drinks were delicious! These three served us and went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed! Can't wait to come back!
