Sway's Bar and Event Center — Local services in Howards Grove

We were there for the first time with our family on a Saturday evening. Overall, we were all pretty disappointed. If I were to rate the salad bar separately, that would have five stars, but the rest of the food and the buffet were not good...hence the two star rating. My wife ordered Tilapia from the menu and the rest of us had the buffet. Except for the beef tips and mashed potatoes (which were just average), the rest of the food on the buffet was marginal at best. Additionally, the buffet was missing a number of items that were listed on their Facebook post...BBQ ribs, stir fry, breaded shrimp and rice were all missing. My wife also said the Tilapia and the side vegetable and potato that came with it were all not very good...she ate very little of it. But again, the redeeming factor was the salad bar which was very good...fresh items and a very large selection. If it wasn't for the salad bar, I would have probably given it one star.

Stopped in to try out the buffet. We were seated right away. The salad bar was well stocked. Pretty much everything you need to make a delicious salad. There was a couple of pasta salads as well. Everything tasted fresh. The buffet had broasted chicken, ribs, fish, shrimp, mac and cheese, potatoes, baked beans, veggies, dinner rolls. Most everything we tried, we enjoyed. The ribs were tender and the sauce was flavorful, broasted chicken was really good, baked fish was tasty too. The mac and cheese wasn't great, noodles were overcooked and it was bland, but other than that we were very happy with the food. Service was excellent. Our server was attentive and very nice. You can get a lot of good food for 16.99. Really a...
