Sweetwater is one of my very favorite restaurants in Jackson. It is located just 1 block away from the main square in a 100-year-old homestead cabin. In the summer, Sweetwater offers mostly outdoor seating (on a large patio with a view of Snow King. In the winter (my personal favorite time to visit Sweetwater), the cabin is heated by a wood-burning stove.
Sweetwater has lots of yummy salads and sandwiches on the menu. You won't find boring sandwiches here; Sweetwater offers gourmet and unique sandwiches that include lots of grilled veggies, cheeses, spreads, cranberries, and breads. The salad dressings are to die for, and there is always a delicious soup of the day. In the summer, one might find a chilled strawberry soup, and in the winter, one might find a thick stew. Sweetwater also offers several daily specials and desserts. These always seem to be the most fun; the specials sometimes include meatloaf, spanakopita, and other yummy dishes.
Sweetwater also serves a wide selection of wines and other drinks. Hot teas are served in large ceramic jars.
The atmosphere at Sweetwater is extremely unique and fun. It does tend to attract both locals and tourists alike, and the wait at lunchtime is often 20 minutes or greater. But it is well worth the wait!
