    I hope you like Smoky dive bars with amazing staff. If you're lucky enough to be there on the weekend, get a prime rib dinner before they run out. Other days of the week is mostly bar food, unless you get their amazing chili. You can secretly ask for a garlic grilled cheese & fries too...but it's not on the menu. I ask for it with mozzarella. They're big on locals so just be cool. I love Allie, Jenni and Miranda as bartenders. In fact ask Miranda to play "banana darts"...she's a champ. Leave your wait expectations low as they literally do EVERYTHiNG! This isn't TGIFridays homey. But sit back, relax and enjoy the ambiance. Darts, pinball, pull-tabs and free popcorn. ‍

    Great leftover prime rib specials on Sunday. Very friendly staff. The prime rib on Friday and Saturday night must be great as the shaved sandwich and egg rolls we had on Sunday were tasty and really tender. The fries at first were under cooked but the waitress offered to cook more even before we said something. As the photo shows the finished product was great. Hopefully we'll pass through on a Friday or Saturday so we can have the prime rib.

    This place is in the middle of no where... literally. You don't end up here accidentally. The place is a mix of nascar loving locals and during good weather there are quite a few bikers in the bar. This is one of those bars that has been there forever. The only reason I am reviewing this place is because its a great day trip, Its a cool drive in and there is a really nice lake a few blocks away (make sure you use the public beach, not the association one, you know how that goes). The food here is great. I would highly recommend the buffalo burger and a glass of beer from Backroads Brewery. This is the only place I know outside the brewery to get Backroads and its great. There is a buffalo ranch a few miles away which is where I'm pretty sure is where they get their meat from and it is easily the best buffalo burger I have ever had.

    This place is a great little get away. We enjoy the drive here. We also love their chicken livers and onions. The staff and patrons here are all very friendly , make you feel very welcome.

    Came for the sautéed chicken livers and onions, they are the best around. The drinks are great, and the service is wonderful! Nice place and good people.

    Great beer

    Best Prime Rib ever. I used to think Heston had the best until I found out about Nowhere. So tender you can cut it with a butter knife

    Swells A Dive Bar - Detroit style pizza

    "A perfect pit stop for pizza, pours, and ridiculous good times"…read more If you're the kind of person who likes pizza so big it threatens to spill over your lap, beer cold enough to make a snowman jealous, and a bar atmosphere that's "rustic chic" -- otherwise known as "dive-bar with a soul" -- then Swells is your joint. Walk in and you're instantly hit with: a dozen TVs showing whatever game, a neon sign letting you know you're not in Kansas (or Chicago), and the unmistakable aroma of something cheesy, savory, and probably sinful. I went for the Detroit-style pizza and wasn't disappointed -- each square slice was like a little piece of heaven on a cardboard platform. The bartenders? Friendly as a farm dog when you show up with the cooler tucked in back of your pickup. Drinks flow quick, conversations are easy, and before you know it you've swapped a few tall tales with locals who've probably been coming in since the 80s (and loving the same 80s-era jukebox hits). The vibe's cozy, no pretense -- just good grub + good company. Yes, the parking lot's about as roomy as a Lincoln continental in a compact-car slot, but that's half the charm -- if everyone else's SUVs are packed in tight, it must mean you found the right place. Bottom line: if you're cruising US-12, or in the mood for cheap drinks, honest food, and a laugh or two -- Swells is the kind of place where you leave with a full belly, a warm buzz, and a grin. I'll definitely be back (and likely announcing it loud enough for the bartender to overhear it over the next game).

    Outstanding food, fantastic service, and great draft here. I mean, seriously, what more do you need…read moreto know about that serves pizza? OK, draft beer with rotating selections, any chance their pizza comes in thin crust, traditional crust, or Detroit pizza. Really attentive, but not hovering servers with a come as you are atmosphere. Appetizer selection, and specials posted at the bar. Are you on your way yet?
