sweetwater tavern

i actually hate this place.foodis ok service is great but i always feel like i'm eating in a noisy caffeteria. everyone is yelling over each other just to hear. it really kills it for me.

my go to place anytime we don't want to go too far to eat a meal ... have always enjoyed thefoodhere but i do wish they would change up their menu ... have been coming here for the last 6 years and the menu has not been changed once. thefoodis great and love their tex mex egg rolls which are my favorite and the dinner rolls are simply to die for. a little pricy but great food! service is good as well!

amazing. experience was so good i felt compelled to write a review. rachel our server was awesome.foodwas delicious.

drunken ribeye steak. seriously one of the best steaks i've ever had.

delicious food, good atmosphere, high prices. we enjoyed our dinner tonight at sweetwater tavern. thefoodwas very tasty. we had the roast chicken, smoked salmon, southwestern chicken salad, and penne pasta. all the dishes were tasty and we enjoyed the nice variety of breads that were brought to the table.

downside is that the prices were all rather high. we stuck to the lower price choices and they were still about $15. i think this place should have a $$$ rating rather than $$.

went in to grab some grub. the female bartender asked me what beer i would like and i mentioned that i needed to see menu for food. well say good bye to service. she never came back to ask aboutfoodso got up and left. went next store to olive garden . had salad drink with in 5 min. andfoodwas on the way. sweet water needs to hire better mgr as bartenders loose customers based on lack of attention.

better than falls church, but still not gar's best!. since starting with fritzbe's, now silverado in 1974, great american restaurants, which is comprised of 1) artie's, 2) best buns bread company, 3) carlyle grand cafe, 4) coastal flats, 5) jackson's mighty finefood& lucky lounge, 6) mike's american grill, 7) ozzie's corner italian, 8) silverado, and 9) sweetwater tavern, have been serving up some of the best eats, satisfying service, incredible all-american variety, and great experiences from spirits, starters, meals and desserts. this is not by any means a commercial, but a patron's tribute to what has become 9 fantastic northern virginia dining destinations - an achievement few local restaurant chains can brag about. although sweetwater is not the best in the bunch, it out performs it's counterpart in falls church - i would come back here. bon appétit!

greatfoodbut the menu doesn't change hardly ever. tasty beers and like the growler to go option.

what can i say outstanding!!!!!!!. went to dinner hear with a group of 10 people with a reservation and gotta tell you, when i walked in i thought we were in for a long night! it was packed solid, they told us to go to the bar and have a drink, within 10 minutes they seated us, and the service was outstanding. there beers are also great, i tasted several and my favorite was the pumpkin spice, which i am sure is seasonal, but my wife's naked river was very good as well. when you go with a group this big there is always one that isn't satisfied, not this night! from the filets, to the prime rib, to the fish to the salads everyone of us thought it was out of this world.
been to several micro-brews and have never seen one that not only made a great beer but also hadfoodthat was over the top as well. nice job!!!!
