Editorial Review for Sweetwater Tavern – by Andy Olesko

In Short
Sweetwater Tavern resides in a distinctive turn-of-the-century Victorian-style building near the heart of Greektown. The lunchtime rush is one of the most furious in town, with businesspeople shuffling in to sample some of the best barbecue in town. Sandwiches are affordable and portions are generous. However, in order to truly appreciate this restaurant, you must sample the ribs. Tasty Stroh's ice cream is available for dessert.

User Reviews for Sweetwater Tavern

3 Star Rating: Average

If the wings werent so damn good I'd never come back here. So instead I never dine in anymore. I'm in the service industry myself so I always tip well, at the minimum 25%, for good karma of course. I can honestly say I've never left a tip over 15% at Sweetwater before. Rude and inconsiderate waitstaff. Most people would agree, don't believe me, find out for yourself.

Pros: The food is incredible!

Cons: Worst waitstaff in Detroit...even worse than The Park Bar.

The wait staff is atrocious, rude and not customer friendly. The manager on duty the evening of February 23, 2008 does not understand the value of listening to a complaint and trying to resolve it through compromise. Do not patronize this establishment. I have no idea what the food tastes like, after waiting 45 minutes for a class of water, I did not dare order any food. I cannot believe in this day and age that a restaurant does not have the ability to serve fresh vegetables. Anyone who expects a clean environment and to be served by a courteous staff should AVOID SWEETWATERS. There are too many other choices downtown where the customer is appreciated.

Cons: THERE IS NOTHING POSITIVE ABOUT THIS PLACE
