Ashly was awesome! Her service and vibe were both excellent!
I'm biased in regards to Serve and Swig since my band plays there, but so be it. The bar has been transformed from old Nutties which was a little neighborhood watering hole to a excitingly new establishment. Serve and Swig not only offers top shelf bar service, but quite good appetizers and full meals while wude screen tv's display sporting events and maybe a couple of guitar players singing popular rock songs.
The outdoors offer volleyball leagues and pickleball courts. There is always something fun happening at Serve and Swig!
Amazing place for sand volleyball, bags, pickle ball ans indoor games. Great custom sandwiches and drinks! The staff is top notch, too!
Overall a nice bar with nice owners. Love the patio in the back with pickleball and volleyball courts. They also have pool tables in the back. Food and drinks were good. No complaints here!
I visited this restaurant with a couple of friends for lunch and unfortunately, the experience was very disappointing. We all ordered the lunch special, but it took nearly 40 minutes for our meals to be served — and even then, they came out in takeout boxes rather than plated. The food was cold upon arrival; the fries were stale with a very small portion size (honestly, Chick-fil-A is far more generous), and the burger was cold and definitely not worth the $15 price tag.
To make matters worse, within an hour of leaving, all of us experienced stomach aches. Overall, both the food quality and service left a lot to be desired. I would not recommend this location based on our experience.
Another amazing party - my daughter's baby shower was awesome! Everyone had such a great time and the Mimosa Bar was a big HIT!
Thank you so much for Dee and the staff for doing such a great job!
The sliders were delicious and the Mimosas were the best!
Thank you for helping to make her shower so special!!!!
This review as 'food' only covers draft beers. This was my first visit. It's a very welcoming and nicely appointed bar and grill and there is something for everyone here.
However the novel draft beer machine was a disappointment. The beers are not nearly as cold as a traditional tap pour and they were foamy, almost fake and unattractive head. It was a let down and since I only came to watch the Winter Classic with friends and have a couple of beers, it was a lose.
This machine is very novel, but if it can't replicate a traditional tap, it's not going to encourage repeat business.

This place has really changed! It’s not the old Nutties anymore. Clean -food is great - nice atmosphere. The service was amazing. Our bartender Natalie was a gem! It’s hard to find bartenders that are on top of things and make you feel welcome. She made us want to come back and tell our friends that Nutties is 100 times better!

Everything I’ve tried here has been fantastic, especially the brisket sandwich—definitely a must-try! And a shoutout to Abby the bartender, she had such great energy and kept the vibe alive with the crowd.

The new owners did a great job remodeling and transforming this place.
The food is always good and there are lots of activities going on inside and outside.
You can play volleyball, pickleball or just hang out at the outside bar and watch the games.

Obsessed with the remodel! It looks amazing! Staff super friendly. They have volleyball courts and a pickleball court! Free food at half time during Bears games and they had a raffle last time for a free TV! New slots too! Definitely go check out this new establishment!

I was here yesterday for a community fund raiser and I wasn’t aware of new ownership! Was leery to be honest but glad I showed up! And the pretzel….was A- MAZ- ING….kid friendly…and I liked the all gender restroom because there’s no line for the women’s bathroom like there usually is!
Kid-friendliness: I love that kids were allowed. This makes it a different atmosphere!
