“ They are closed now but some of my best meals came from this chef. The drinks stayed pouring. Over priced but the pour is good. It's really sad this place is gone great atmosphere. Live band nights were my favorite. I am looking for the chef to find where he is now cooking. ”
“ Early evening found many people watching football and cheering at the bar. The restaurant was empty, but we didn't mind. We know this place starts hopping about when we go to bed. The venue had a different vibe than the many other times we've been here, but again we eat early. As usual the food was presented nicely and was delicious, as was the service. ”
“ This is my favorite spot to go to on Wednesday! I learned how to step enjoyed great prices drinks and the food was delicious. The vibe was laid back and relaxing I was able to enjoy myself amongst people my age and older. ”
“ Food was great!! Really good and speedy service. Music was on point too. I've been wanting to try this place and so glad I finally did. ”
“ I forgot to take the "Pretty before i dove into deliciousness pic" so my pic is me 50% into OMG SOOO GOOD! Used Uber Eats to order here because chain hotel restaurant food....me thinks not. Me thinks YAAAAAAS to Swerve! The Mac and cheese .... #JesusTakeTheWheelKindaGood! Like gimme your recipe Swerve because it's DELICIOUS!!! Fries that would usually suck unless hot and fresh out of the grease are still delicious! Have not made it to the cheesecake yet....cellulite be damned ..... i don't care!!! So From now on when in town visiting corporate....Swerve via UberEats it is! The chicken and waffles.....y'all....I am from the Deep South and this dish would compete with the Deep South's BEST! LEGIT DELISH as a To-go. I can only imagine the epicurean ecstasy it is eaten in house!!! ”
“ The food here is amazing! I had chicken and waffles with a side of Mac and cheese with greens. The service was great as well. The place is very small which is ok. The was enough space to have a dance floor to dance to the music the DJ was playing. ”
“ A bittersweet occasion brought me to Swerve Grill, and while I hate saying goodbye to good friends, I'm so glad my girlfriend chose this place for her sendoff celebration. The ambience is a sort of upscale-casual with low lighting, reds and black and white photos on the walls. There is seating along the main wall that runs the length of the space and long tables with seating for about 6 occupy the center of the room. Guests apparently seat themselves. The food was SCRUMPTIOUS!! I had the chicken and waffles and the chicken was well seasoned, crispy outside and moist inside. The waffle was moist and flavorful, and indication that care is taken in making the batter. I also had the collard greens and green beans. SO GOOD! Happy hour goes until 8 and there are $5 drinks and $5 foods on the happy hour menu. The shrimp tempura is mouth watering and several people at my table ordered a second helping to take home. Serving sizes are large, you will not leave Swerve hungry! The only reason I have withheld the last star is because of the way they were working out server to death! For quite a while our server was the only server on the floor and so we had considerable wait times and he couldn't spend as much time visiting our table as he would have wanted to. He needed help! Our server was great, he did his best and was very polite, knowledgeable and friendly and I have no complaints about him or his service specifically, I just wish he had more overall support. I am certainly looking forward to visiting Swerve again! ”
“ When I first heard the name of the restaurant, I refused to go. But after scoring a great deal on a Groupon, I figured I wouldn't be losing much by checking it out. I'm definitely glad I did, as their food is awesome and worth the buy. I've been back about 4 times, with this review being my most recent visit. Their BBQ Turkey Ribs appetizer is a must try! A great alternative to those who don't eat pork products. Tender ribs, with a decent barbecue sauce. We also tried the Lobster Mac and I would get it again. I will say that it's more creamy than cheesy. There were no large chunks of lobster meat, which I think would really have set it off. But there was lobster in every bite. My sister and I each ordered the Chicken and Waffle. That dish comes with 3 wings, a waffle (butter and syrup) and 2 sides. It's very generous, and filling, for the price. I had collard greens and yams for my sides, my sister chose yams and asparagus. The waffles were cooked well, if not a tad crisp. The chicken wings are awesome and seasoned very well. All the sides were good, with the candied yams being my favorite! The food really is solid comfort food. Where this restaurant lacks, on all my trips, is the service. On this particular visit, we came on a Friday evening as the live band was packing up to go and they were switching to a DJ. The place was pretty full but we only waited a few minutes for a table. Then we proceeded to wait another 15 before we flagged down a passing waitress to hopefully take our order. You can't always tell who works there. Some have on "Swerve" logo t-shirts. Some have on all or mostly black, skimpy outfits. We ordered drinks and food at the same time. 35 minutes went by with no cocktails and we had to get our server again to remind her about them. She got them and our food followed shortly after. My Patron margarita was nothing too special. On each of my visits, the servers were kind, but didn't seem to be formally trained. Is this a get dressed up, special occasion kind of place? To me, no. But can you get good food if you have patience? Definitely. ”
