- Lears FoolJuly 20, 2015Sure you can sample lots of oysters, but do that at other places. Here is all about the Sweetwater.
Trevor FilterAugust 22, 2014Get a table on the back patio, order some oysters and watch the sun go down while the Bay Lights come up.
Arthur NemezJune 26, 2017The best oysters I had ever tried, and claim chowder soup off course🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽😋
David SinesMarch 15, 2015Oysters, of course. A great variety of oysters from all over the U.S. - locals eat here - a good sign, not a tourist trap.

The Corcoran GroupJune 19, 2011Be prepared to wait for a table and then consume some of the freshest oysters around. Watching the pros shucking oysters is something magical.
Christina LorJune 5, 2013Happy Hour is Mon and Thurs 5-7. Pro tip: dip the bread in their mignonette.

Rachel W.June 25, 2014I'm a lemonade snob and the lemonade is ON POINT here. Easily top 3 I've ever had.
Mark BurlesonMay 28, 2014The best clam chowder ever only enhanced by the grilled cheese with pickled veggies. Start with 24 oysters and heaven awaits!!!
Rcvieux .October 24, 2013great place with nice options of wine & beer, besides the awesome oysters. a must go.
T ZApril 17, 2016Hog Island Sweetwater > Kumamoto > Sewansecott. Clam chowder = pretty good w/ bread. Cayenne grilled oysters = pretty flavorful.
Luke WhiteMarch 13, 2015The freshness of the oysters and the spectacular make this tourist trap worth every penny.
Errol ReyesJune 23, 2011If you love oysters but with someone who is a vegetarian, it's not a problem. You can enjoy the variety of oysters and your vegetarian friend can enjoy te grilled
Marta TapperoJuly 29, 2016Oysters are great are just the location is worth it. The rest of the food is just ok. I had boquerones and had to many mayo. The bar is grea
Tom EvansApril 7, 2013Split a dozen oysters, get a clam chowder and grilled cheese each for a couple and you have the perfect lunch!
Andres NovoaJanuary 10, 2016Try dipping the Acme Bread they serve in the chowder and steamers broth! Delicious!
BiancaOctober 24, 2018Amazing food! If you are a seafood lover you should definitely check this place!
Irena BSeptember 24, 2011Sweetwaters are the best. Full bodied and buttery. I'm an oyster snob too. And they're the cheapest. The bread is pretty great too.
Maher JabrJuly 21, 2010Nice oyster selection (Naked Cowboy from Long Island is awesome) & the clam chowder is a MUST. Make sure you have bread handy with the chowder. Great & friendly service.
Catherine LOctober 7, 2014Aside from their oysters, their Caesar salad with anchovy croutons and chowder is amazing!
Happy hour is a good deal but it's only one type of oyster. Come early because there's always a long line for happy hour. Be prepared to splurge.
C BayugaDecember 12, 2011Monday & Thursday, 5:00 - 7:00 pm Oyster Happy Hour/ Chef's choice half priced oyster (selection varies weekly) Not always quite a dollar, but better than full price.
Daddy said I'm specialOctober 22, 2014Very tasty. Grilled oysters are highly recommended even for those who don't like it
The best oysters on the west coast. Well worth the wait. Be sure to ask for cocktail sauce. They make it fresh.
Nicolr PatiglerJuly 14, 2018There’s always a line, but once you get to@the table in line, you can order a drink
Bing ChouSeptember 10, 2012A line starts to form just before they open - it's worth it to get in line 15 minutes beforehand to get an outdoor table.
Kimi ThorntonJune 4, 2013Happy Hour $1 oysters from 5-7 on Mon and Thurs - but get there before 4:30 to beat the rush.
Fresh oysters, lived up to its billing. Sea cows were a hit!
