Swig — Local services in Oak Ridge

It's fine. I think there is a ton of hype for this place, and I honestly didn't get it. Im being lenient because this was only their third day open, and I understand they're training staff, and things are a work in progress.

We went in, and there was a pretty significant wait. We chose to go in because the drive-thru line was out onto the street. We waited at least 15 minutes to order. They were out of some items, so we weren't able to order everything we had planned to. We got 3 drinks and it cost $13, which felt like a lot for what we received.

I’m so excited to have a Swig close by! I’ve been twice in the 3 days they’ve been open. The drinks and pretzels were delicious as always!

I even got to meet their Store Manager Whitney while she was assisting her staff with taking orders. She was very friendly during my interaction and clearly invested in the success of her team! Today I was greeted by more friendly faces and awesome service in the drive-thru. 10/10 definitely recommend the...

I love swig i’ve been going to the Alcoa location forever, i even emailed them to bring it to Oak Ridge! I’m glad it’s here, i’m mildly concerned about the short drive thru the one in alcoa is huge and is often filled up. Drive thru is slow but it will take time for the team to learn and adjust!! Beats sonic drinks every time!

EDIT: This is exactly what i was worried about the drive thru sucks, it takes ages and blocks an entire portion of the street, i have no idea why they put a popular chain in the SMALLEST little area, not smart thinking on their end. maybe they will...
