Toledo Menu - Know Before You Go

Well, the drinks were cheap. Went there this summer and was not happy. Waitress said charcuterie wrong, for one thing. We asked what drinks they had on tap and she didn’t know. I got some sandwich (cannot remember as it was pretty plain) and sweet potato fries that were shriveled and burnt beyond belief. Have friends that drink there a few weekends in a row to try it out and they said the SAME live music is played almost every weekend, plus the patio music is a loop of about 6 songs. Overall, waste of money.

Kudos for offering familiar, comforting food in a fresh and unique way. Everything tastes fresh, meals are comfortably filling, yet easy enough on the pocket book for a second pint of cider. Perfect for entertaining out-of-town guests or for the repeat visitor.

As a frequent business traveler, I pride myself on avoiding the chain restaurants and finding the places that only “locals” go.  My dinner tonight at Swig could not have been more perfect.  The atmosphere is comfortable, slightly upscale yet casual.  Since it was my first visit, I had the sausage platter (e.g. bratwurst, italian sausage and kielbasa) to get a nice sampling of their offerings. The brat would have made any native Wisconsin stand up and cheer!  The hot italian sausage was not overpowering yet still had some punch to it.  The kielbasa carried a nice little smoky flavor.  The highlight of the dinner was the homemade spicy mustard which provided the perfect compliment to all three.  I added a pint of Smithwick’s and the perfect meal! 

I’d say that Swig is the type of restaurant that friends could spend hours in.  I know if I lived in Perrysburg, I’d be a regular!

We ate there last night and the food was terrific! The waitstaff was extraordinary! This restaurant is the jewel of Northwest Ohio! All their sauces and sausage, among other foods, are made right there! You need to try their reverse wings. Baked in Ranch dressing with wing sauce on the side! Remarkable!!
Definitely my new favorite eatery in Perrysburg!

I love to support local restaurants and Swig is one of my favorites. Almost all the food is homemade, they even make their own sauces (from the wing sauce to their every popular ketchup). You must try the dutch egg, I’m sure one of the few places in OH where you can get it.

Everything is authentic for the most part so it might not fit everyone’s taste but for me the more authentic the better!
