Like a middle class TGIFridays - a little more refined, better service, better food. I was LOST as to why, on a Sunday morning, the entire place would be dressed in ball gowns and suit and tie... then I realized people on the East Coast are still religious. Not in Kansas anymore, Dorothy.

There is an open bar area in the brewpub that has sports on. People act like idiots when they watch sports, so, of course, yeah.... there's sports on, and that can impact your experience.

The service is astonishingly professional, friendly, and on top of it. We went, without rez, when it looked like church had just gotten out, and there must have been dozens of tickets in front of us, and there was very short waits for any service / food. The portions are huge. The prices are very fair. The food is great.

If I end up on the East Coast, in that area, again, no doubt I will end up back there. In a sea of terrible chain restaurants with slop for food, this place has great ingredients, great prep, a great menu.... it's solid for what it is.

Consistent good quality and great service. I've been many times and the food is always terrific. They have a good range of american entrees and good selection of beer and wine.

I can personally recommend all of the following...Salmon, crab cakes, salads, pasta and steaks. For steak lovers this is the place to go, the steak is up there with they really expensive steakhouses but at a reasonable price.

Good size portions on their side dishes. The mashed potatoes are perfect comfort food or the if you want to be healthy they make great asparagus, or mushrooms. Last their bread and aussie rolls are warm and yummy.

Only downside is sometimes there a long wait.

My third visit to Sweetwater Tavern in 2012 was just as pleasant as the first two. The food and beverages are excellent. Service is friendly and attentive. The establishment is welcoming.

My favorite entree, currently at the tavern, is their salmon filet.

We were asked at least 4 times by our waiter and the head waiter if everything was ok. This interrupted our converstauion and was just overkill. The restaurant is noisy. The ribs and steak are excellent, avoid the jambalya, it is too heavy, mostly pasta.
