Sweetwater Tavern

This place is no frills, but it has a reputation for solid food and beer in the bottle. Why do diners really love it though? Four words: Best Wings In Detroit . [Eater 38 Member]

Everyone talks about the wings , but the ribs are where it's at. Get a full slab and they throw in wings for free. Really friendly atmosphere and cozy spot for lunch or dinner any time.

Great atmosphere and the wings were cooked perfect. Juicy inside crispy outside BUT they were extremely salty and over seasoned. I'll definitely give them another try considering the reviews/rep.

The very BEST Reuben Sandwich I've ever had! If you know me and my tendencies to "creep out" over certain meats you'd understand what a supreme compliment this is....trust me, order one!

Wings here are legendary! They are anything but typical. Smoky with just enough spice. You can get all "flats" for an extra $1 and be sure to add some Seasoned Fries !

Sweetwater is the bizness! My faves are the beer battered chicken strips , seasoned fries , fish and chips , and purple rains. Beyond that, you're on your own.

These are my favorite wings anywhere. I struggle to eat wings anywhere else because they are not the same. Get the Wing and Strip combo with seasoned fries .

The mashed potatoes are awesome! Coming from Memphis, have to say no to the ribs ..they would have been awesome dry!!

In Detroit on business and looking for wings . Loved this place! Wings have a kick and I will be going back again soon! The ribs will b next on my list!

Great service. Showed up with a group of 8. Out the door within an hour. I had the wings . Better than chain rest, and good value for $.

Amazing food.. the wings are out of this world, the 'big pig ' pulled pork sandwich is also delicious

Small menu of quality food. Wings , burgers , and pulled pork was excellent. Greens were money.

Sweetwater is where I take people to blow their minds. Their wings are on a level of their own. I will never go to Buffalo Wild Wings after eating their wings .

A local treasure in Detroit!! The ribs are top notch!!

Wow. The ribs and the wings and the toast are delicious....must try.

The flavor is so unique once you try Sweetwater wings we think you'll be hooked for life.

Rated #1 wings in Detroit . Wings are so-so; $12 for a basket, or $6 for a half order with any app, entree, etc.

Fried cod wow! Wings wow! Fried strips wow! Love the backdrop! Will be back!

Best wings in Detroit ! Free order of these wings with a full slab of ribs . Great deal!

The absolute best wings next to Anchor Bar , the legendary bar in Buffalo, NY where they were first invented

A wise man once said anything that has a paragarph or more of desciption on the menu must be good. They were wrong. The wings are GREAT! Best ever PERIOD! Thank you SW

Great burgers , fast, friendly service . Get there early, fills up fast. Sit at the bar .

Great food, great vibe. Service is a bit lax when they're busy, though.

Sweetwater is only good food if you're already drunk before you arrive.. PS. Don't eat the green beans (they're from Save-a-Lot)!

All the food is delicious, however I'm partial to the Cobb salad with fried chicken instead of grilled :)

It was okay, the wings and burger I got was good but I wouldn’t say #1 in Detroit by a long shot. I had higher expectations

Try the wings and seasoned fries ! Some of the best I've had!

Make a habit of this place. Awesome wings and ribs . And I know ribs . I'm from Austin, Texas.

Amazing food! Had the ribs and wings ! Nice old building !

Best wings in Detroit ! Cajun steak tips are great too.

Really good wings . The service isn't that great but it stays busy so it can be expected

Get the Big Pig . Eat it with the onion . Don't kiss anybody. For dessert : the Hummer with Remy.

Great tasting chicken wings ! You got to try them. Their burger is also very good!

The wings are unique and fantastic

Great place to park before a game and take their shuttle. Great food and amazing bloody marys !

Just get the wings . Seriously. Get the wings .

Music after hours is amazing. Never know what t expect.

Awesome wings close to the renaissance center!

For the Paleo folks. Get two orders of steak tips and flex.

Ribs are the best.

Get the wings . Or you will regret it!

Everything is great.! But I can use a bigger piece of pie for .$6.00

Best Wings , plus great atmosphere. The music from the jukebox will make you think you are at a concert . Great food.

Great burgers and wings ! Service was blah.
