Restaurants near Swisher

“Terrible experience, very disappointed with our visit today. We talked about going there all weekend because we enjoy the 86. Drove over an hour to get there by four today because they were closing early. The girl at the front was very sweet. We were very excited to be there and told her it was our first time there. She said we could sit down and order or go to the bar. We sat down and several servers looked at us, but no one waited on us. We went to the bar and said we had never been there before. A guy said there is a menu on the counter but I'll be over there cleaning, let me know what you want and walked away. We had no idea what we were doing since it was our first time there. I wanted to try wines and my husband whiskey, but not if no one wanted to wait on us. So, we looked at each other and decided to leave. Once in the parking lot I realized it was a long way home and I should use the restroom first. So, I went back in, and I told the girl behind the counter we were leaving because no one waited on us, but I needed to use the restroom first. When I came out of the restroom she said to enjoy the rest of our day. Would have had a better day if we could have tried something... Went from very excited to be there to can't wait to leave...”

“Visited Kava House and Cafe for the first time today. The atmosphere great, menu items delicious, and convenient location to hold a small business meeting. Highly recommend it.”

“an amazing place to visit! Great food, great atmosphere, great staff and patrons.”

“Pizza was fantastic and so was the ice cream!”

“The Godfather's is in a gas station, so the atmosphere is not very relevant. Every time I have ordered from them, the pizza is perfect, looks perfect, and is delicious! The staff for the Godfather's pizza is so friendly, helpful, and makes you feel like they remember you each time you walk in. I would recommend them to anyone! And don't forget the struesel pizza, it is well worth the extra trip to the gym for!!”

“Went here for my wife’s birthday and it was absolutely perfect. Every single thing was amazing.”

“Staff was friendly, attentive, and fun. Atmosphere was hoppin in a good way with great music. Most importantly, the food was fantastic. Burger was juicy and full of flavor. For those pickle lovers like me The Pickler hit the spot with a side of jalapeño pasta salad with just the right amount of spice. 10 out of 10.”

“Delicious food and great service! Highly recommend!”

“I’m only in CR on weekends and I visit whenever I’m able to, the atmosphere of the shop is incredible and kind. The workers are very friendly everytime and make engaging conversation. The flowers are beautiful and we ended up buying a small plant from upstairs and we love it :)”

“Awesome breakfast options! Loved the cinnamon coffee. ☕ This might just be my new favorite place for brunch 🍽”

“I track my calories and an app found this place. The app scanned my photo to count the calories. The sushi had plenty of protein and fit my daily needs well. The restaurant is clean and quiet.”

“From the moment we walked in, we knew it was the perfect place to celebrate our big day. The space is absolutely beautiful—modern, elegant, and welcoming. But what really made it special was the incredible team behind it all. The staff -especially Melissa-at The Hotel at Kirkwood went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. They were organized, responsive, and genuinely kind throughout the entire planning process. On the day of the wedding, everything was flawless—from the setup to the food to the flow of the evening. Our guests were raving about the venue, and we felt so supported every step of the way. If you're looking for a wedding location that combines style, comfort, and top-notch service, we can't recommend The Hotel at Kirkwood enough!”

“New to CR … this was our second sushi stop and it was by far the best! Of course we did the All You Can Eat Sushi option and it was soooooo good. Everything came out fast. Portions were large and this place had a much bigger selection than the other recommended sushi place. Sushi 🍣 was fresh… We left super full and happy 🫰”

“My boyfriend and I shared the elote corn cauliflower, I ordered the sprout sandwhich with side of potato salad. He ordered the chopped gyro cheesesteak with side of beer cheese soup- Everything was absolutely amazing. The beer cheese soup absolutely blew me away. Potato salad perfect ratio with the egg😍 My sandwich didn’t come with cheese ( unsure if it even does ) I added my own from home so no biggie, it was amazing but expected more dill spread. All in all, it was a treat for us with price but we will definitely be back!!”
