Sweetwater Wings with Seasoned Fries
Tamica J.

The food is on point, customer service A1, and the ambiance is professional. I LOVE THIS PLACE! I'm hooked on the Sweetwater wings!!!

Sweet water burger burnt and hard.  Terrible customer service. Food is disgusting.
Melanie N.

Bad customer service. Food is disgusting. I do not recommend. Ordered takeout and received a burnt disgusting burger.

Cajun steak bites
Lauren D.

Had som me Cajun steak bites from here. They were really good but DANG they were salty. Like S A L T Y. High blood pressure has entered the chat. I'm mad they put my slaw in the box with my food so by the time I got home, it was hot. I actually wanted that but whatever. I'd go again but ask for easy on the seasoning.

Mashed potato

Was craving for fried chicken wings of American Coney in Detroit but they ran out last Sunday. Talked with a coworker about it and she referred me to try Sweetwater of Detroit. Asked the help of my husband to search about the place. From Farmington, he found the nearest location is at M10. We arrived at 8pm and was welcomed by the kitchen staff/cashier/all around All guys crew. No extra Chitchat...they straight forward ask for your order. Cash or credit payment is accepted. We waited for 10-15 minutes for take out. There is no dining table, just 3 seats for customers waiting. No patience to wait? Call in advance or order online via their website. I received Yelp money back. The verdict...the wings are coated with their so called signature sauce which is greasy and delicious for my husband's taste. Sorry but the flavor wasn't for me. I like simple light coated fried chicken wings. For the ribs, it was probably cooked for the longest time. Not only did we eat the pork meat but also the bones (too soft). There was so much sauce, I didn't enjoy eating. Mashed potato? I could make it better with some heavy cream and butter. I did like their beans with rice. The one piece bread roll that came with the rib and wings combo needs to be steamed or toasted. For the $19 we spent on our meal today, I wished we just had the KFC $5 fill up Instead for dinner/ I prefer Brass Pointe ribs which is perfectly seasoned and delicious without the bbq sauce. Most of the people who reviewed this place liked the food and not the service. For me their service was ok. The rib and chicken wings had too much sauce...it just wasn't for me. Anyways, it's up to you to decide...I do see a lot of take-outs! Enjoy

Horrible restaurant!
Alicia J.

Horrible, horrible, horrible! They charged my card $110.52 for $17.23 order. It's going on two weeks and they still haven't resolved this issue or issued my refund that they promised I would get within two days. Plus, my son said the chicken was terrible!

Burnt disgusting full order of wings. Inedible.
Valerie D.

This was the worst, most disgusting food we have ever ordered quite possibly in our life. I have no idea how or why this place is in business. My fault I didn't check Yelp reviews before ordering from here but who in their right mind serves customers moldy lettuce and a FULL order of burnt wings? On top of that, the sweet water hamburger had none of the signature sauce on it, nor was it given to us on the side. This food was so bad that my husband had to actually drive all the way back there and got a full refund. Whoever owns and manages this place needs to take a HARD look at their employees or what they are serving and do a 180. Read the reviews! They're all the same. And don't get me started on the disgusting "free" side of mashed potatoes that came with the order! They wouldn't serve something that bad to a prisoner.

This place is trash. I give up. The wings use to be good but now, they are often just a salty oily mess. The customer service is terrible and they are always out of blue cheese and ranch. My bf wanted to order tonight and I hesitantly agreed hoping we wouldnt be disappointed this time since its hit or miss. Lately the wings have just missed. Never again. My wings were literally burnt. I had to drink so much water due to the overload if salt on my burnt wings. Do yourself a favor and just take the drive downtown.

Old dry ass chicken that was NEVER made fresh upon my ordering. I'm disgusted with them.....

That one star is literally no stars!!! I am so irritated that I even have to take time to even write a review! I have been going to sweet water forever and have never had a bad experience until tonight. I must say it is my fault that I didn't check the order before I left but because I'm so loyal due to the great service I've always experienced I didn't think I had too. I ordered my food well in advance and when I got there I paid for my food and left. Drove 30mins home and my shit was burnt and dry AF! I call to complain about the quality of my food all for the worker to say all I can do is send you an email link????????????????????????????????????????????????????? How on Gods green earth is that supposed to do anything about feeding my family TONIGHT????????????????????????? I said what I can do is bring my food back for a fresh order he basically said nahhhh mofo that ain't happening eat that dry ass shit basically is what he said. Word of advise no matter what ALWAYS CHECK YOUR FOOD!!! Do not be a dumb ass like I was to assume your order is always right and to trust that they would do the right thing by giving you fresh food. Not old ass dry ass pieces of chicken thats provably been sitting for hours or the chicken they refuse to throw out during the power outages we just had to suffer. It saddens me to say NEVER TF AGAIN!!! You gone respect my hard earned money!!!!!

Poor ass example of wings

I don't expect much from Sweetwaters. Ever. They consistently show they do not give a fuck about what they cooking or who they're cooking for. I get it. I still took a chance and this is what I get. How do you burn shit this bad? Like it's wings bro. WINGS. They not cooking anything that takes actual technique or formal training. How do you fuck up a 8 piece wing ding? Shit is a joke. Do not spend ya money here just go to coney, please. P.S. - The harlot at the register with the shitty attitude and sudden memory loss needs to go. She not hittin like yall think she is AT ALL!

Nasty watery cole slaw and blue cheese where my ranch, mashed potatoes and vegetable of the day was supposed to be.

My husband and I saw a video review of this place and decided to try it. We arrived with lowered…read moreexpectations, as we had been disappointed by bbq places before. Arkin's is a small carry-out only place that sells sandwiches, dinners, and meat by the pound. The sides are à la carte; except for the dinners. Before we even get to the food, let's talk about the staff. They are some of the sweetest and friendliest people you could ever meet! Even with the place being busy, they didn't rush us to order or to get out of the door. They chatted with us and made us feel welcome - as if we'd been going there for years! And every time we return it's like talking to old friends. It's so very refreshing in the current social climate! Now the food: 'Delicious' is too weak a word to describe it! I got the chicken sandwich, which came with slaw and jalapeño pickles. The sliced chicken breast was broasted and had a nice crispy skin. The seasoning was so good I didn't even want to put sauce on it! The slaw was awesome and I didn't detect mayo, so I was able to enjoy it. I added a side of greens, which were delicious. Not everyone can make greens.... My husband got a brisket sandwich - also with slaw and jalapeño pickles included. He got a side of potato wedges, which were broasted and seasoned to perfection. I almost regretted my greens choice .. almost.... The piece of brisket my husband let me taste was awesome - and I hate brisket; but not Arkin's! We filled our bellies that day and went back the next day to buy a dinner for my dad plus some meat by the pound for us to enjoy over the snowy weekend. Funny, they didn't seem surprised to see us back so soon! LOL. My dad enjoyed his meal too, and we gave him directions to the restaurant. Our other return visits have been equally as pleasant. The quality of the staff and food never disappoint! Very happy to have our expectations exceeded in this case. Great food, great staf

I haven't been here in years and it seemed like a great quick option. First portions are large so pack your appetite. I chose the sampler plate as my main since it had a variety. Cheese sticks, chicken wings, chicken fingers and a potato side (I went with broasted potatoes) flavors on everything was nice. Nothing was too salty or greasy. My only issue with this trip was our waiter. Very inattentive. Once he took our order we never saw him again. No check in while we waited, no making sure the entrees came out correctly, no ask about needing anything else, there even was no ask about a refill of drinks even until he came to drop the check off. We had to stop him again when he tried to run off and ask to place our dessert order (he didn't bother asking if we needed it wanted anything else). This was a bit surprising as we are watching the other members of the waitstaff kill it. While the food was good, this server really just ruined the experience for us.

The turkey chops were ok but the sides were trash. The red beans and rice were (see picture) dry and the macaroni and cheese (see pictures) as well. The mac and cheese was cheeseless.We also ordered the catfish dinner with okra and yams.The yams were delicious and the okra was okay. The catfish skin was dark like old oil was used. It appeared to be cornmeal fried and hard. I should have specified how I wanted them. We also order the waffle and the chickens and there were no complaints. Honestly, we've been to Cornbread many times. Previously, I've always given 5 stars and haven't ever had any complaints but something drastically changed. The drinks as well didn't taste the same and we were told that the bartender was new. We didn't want to complain or send our food back due to our past experiences at other restaurants but we did take pictures. The service was great. But honestly, I do not believe that we will ever return.

There are a few tables to wait for your order, next time I'll call ahead but the wait was short so no big deal. I got ribs with baked beans and Mac n cheese. The star for me was the sauce: this was the best BBQ sauce I've had in Michigan. And it's not even close. Sweet, tangy, it was great! The ribs were really good: deep smoke penetration with a fantastic smoky flavor. And they were properly cooked, with just the right amount of bite. The Mac n cheese was tasty. The baked beans were really good, unique but in a really good way. And the little sweet potato muffin was delightful. I'll try the green beans next time I go. The only things I wish they had are sweet tea and pulled pork, but those aren't a thing around here, and I get that. I just can't help myself for wishing. This place is really good.
