The food isn’t bad, but for the price compared to quality, I as an individual who dislikes cooking said to my self I could do it better. The food was very bland needing more spice or at the very least salt. If you order anything with gravy prepare for it to be the only part of the dish you taste. The water is very metallic tasting which is ironic with the name of the restaurant being sweet waters. The hot Apple cider is watered down. Over all the experience was just blah.

Food was awful the only flavor was the Tabasco I poured on it. Did not get my toast untill after my table was finished with their food. Then to top off the whole off experience I was over charged almost $20 at the register. The cashier said the waitress was new and just started ringing extra stuff. I am disabled and could not stand there long enough to argue with her. What an awful experience ? we won't be coming back.

So this place got a star for my chicken Cobb and a star for comfort and service, our server Cheyenne was 5 star for sure, but the food was severely overpriced, my husband's burger patty was very low quality beef, his pancakes were pretty mediocre and we were charged $50 for what you see. I hate to give less than stellar reviews for local places with great people, but it just wasn't worth the price for the portions and quality.

This restaurant has decent home style menu items. It's not gourmet but it's homey. The staff is always great.

Went in for breakfast with my fiancé. Placed was packed. So we waited for the crowd that we’re paying their bills to attempt to get our names put on the wait list. Stood for probably ten minutes and some lady comes in and walks to the side of the counter, mind you she had to walk in front of us, and put her name in the list in front of us. When we said something the hostess just laughed. We walked out and will not be going back. Horrible customer service.

Hostess ignored customers that she wasn't on a first name basis with. Allows people to walk in and cut people that have been waiting to be seated. Engaged in small talk with regulars instead of helping people that are waiting patiently.

Food was excellent. Seemed like they were short on staff as we did not get our drinks until after our food had arrived.

Super tasty food, good service and a great atmosphere.

Decided to go out for lunch with my husband and went to Sweet Waters. Hadn't been in over a year. The hostess was friendly and upbeat. Sat in a booth closest to the Dutch Brothers. Our waitress was nice and we ordered off the senior menu. I enjoyed my cheeseburger and salad, and my husband had the fish & chips. The food was good, but not the best we ever had there, or remembered. The AC was freezing where we sat. Hence the 4 star rating. Was ready to go and get warm in my car. It was nice to dine out though after such a long time. I appreciated a break from cooking! ?
