Sweetwater chophouse

Formerly Kettenring country club.....now owned by cooper farms

Reviewed By steelerschaadt88 - Findlay, Ohio

Situated near golf course is a fine eatery, Sweetwater Chophouse.
The crab cakes stack was tasty and not over-seasoned. One person in our group had the walnut chicken salad that met her approval.
The restaurant was pleasant and the waitress was top-notch, friendly and helpful.
The coleslaw was delicious.
I plan to return, perhaps with my clubs.
You don't have to be a member of the course to enjoy this dining experience.

Cabin Fever

Reviewed By Jacqueline D - Defiance, Ohio

My husband and I started weekly coffee dates here, and still like to go back now that we're married (three years later). The people are always incredibly kind and helpful, and the atmosphere can't beat on the Defiance coffee scene. I loved their December polar kiss latte, and scones.

If you just want to grab some lunch or a beer and a sandwich after work, this is a pretty decent place to do so. The food was good, service on par, and the atmosphere is pretty enjoyable with all the tvs and high tops.

Reviewed By lostinspace4good - Defiance, Ohio

It was a little overwhelming when I first entered. It is not only ice cream, but also other food such as hamburgers and fries. It is right on the main street near the mall, so it is conveniently located. They have a number of different flavors both hand dipped and soft serve as well as milkshakes, sundaes, and such.

If you are looking for a quick snack or to sit and enjoy a delicious treat, this is the place to go!
