The new menu is awesome! I've been waiting all year and it didn't disappoint. The server Andy was amazing and he did an amazing job going over the new menu and keeping up on the table when it was very busy. I always have a good time at Sweetwater Chophouse.

Food was above average but for the price not a great value. Ribeye steak was on the thinner side and on par with Texas Roadhouse but more pricey. Filet was very small and kind of dry for a medium rare cook.

We have visited Sweetwater Chophouse every year for our anniversary, (and more often - including introducing friends and family to the spot) and it never disappoints. The food, the atmosphere, and especially the service are always outstanding. The staff truly make the night feel special every single time. Many times we start with dessert first — just in case we get too full later (ha!). The steaks are always cooked to perfection, the sides are fresh and flavorful, and everything feels made with care. Sweetwater isn't just a restaurant to us anymore — it's part of our story, and we can't wait to come back again next year!

I don’t surprise easily, but recently when visiting Defiance, Ohio, friends and family recommended we try out Sweetwater Chophouse to enjoy one of the best meals in town. I must say, they weren’t wrong! I have to say we went as a large group of both very hungry and Foodie patrons. Sweetwater Chophouse sits on a beautiful and picturesque golf course, and the property is literally a compound containing multiple venues… the Crick Entertainment Center with its Forked Crick Brewery, the Fired Stone Tavern, obviously the Auglaize and Harvest Moon Golf Course Sweetwater sits on with a vastly enormous interior and a beautiful outdoor veranda eating area overlooking the truly lush and green golf course. First off Sweetwater’s staff’s social skills, hospitality and caring attitude from entering to departing is beyond reproach and refreshing. After settling at our table and admiring the panoramic views of nature, we started our visit with a selection from an exceptional assortment of bottled and draught beers, beverages and full bar drinks. Though at the table, most settled for water, a couple of fab Strawberry Basil Margaritas, a really properly prepared Classic Mojito with Bacardi Rum, fresh mint, sugar cane juice, real lime and of course soda (yes, I had a sip of each!). And my request of my go-to-favorite cocktail of an extra dry, Grey Goose Vodka Martini with two olives was next to perfection! Kudos to the Bartender! We proceeded with our orders of a well formulated and tasty Caesar Salad. Then someone ordered Garlicky Brussels Sprouts sautéed and crisped in a garlic vinaigrette in a blend of delicate artichokes, sprinkled with Cherry Peppers. Someone ordered a perfectly rendered Bacon Wagyu Slider whose beef patties were cooked to perfection with smoked Gouda cheese, apple bacon, along with Heirloom Tomato, Spring Greens sprinkled with a delicate Truffle Aioli on rich Brioche Rolls. Being a Snapper lover, my wife went for the Key West Grilled Snapper (albeit we being quite far from Snapper origins) which included Blue Crab, Avocado, Shrimp along with an enjoyable Key Lime infused Cream. When my order came along, I utterly enjoyed a charmingly smooth and tasty Lobster Bisque – very, very well prepared (was that a squirt of Brandy I detected?). Then followed by my main Seafood Au Gratin chock full of flavorful Jumbo Shrimp, sizeable Langostinos, chunks Mahi, tender Sea Scallops, perfect mushrooms, some unbelievably tasty asparagus and infused with an amazing Mornay Champagne Cream. Wow! I approached that dish with strong ebullience. When visiting this area, I seldom have expectations of enjoying a culinary delight, but I must say, I believe Sweetwater Chophouse has done an extraordinary job of putting all facets regarding excellent cookery from a charming establishment, a warm staff, professional management and most important Chef Weible, the cooks and linepersons who achieve and excel in the art of cooking. Kudos Sweetwater for a job well done. We will be back. Bon appétit!

Service was excellent. Was not overbearing allowing for conversation and eating, but also meeting and needs. Food was of very good quality, prices were a bit pricey but not out of range for an occasional experience.
